Doctor Who
Summary
David Tennant ’s issue toDoctor Who , this time as the Fourteenth Doctor , has raised question regarding his theatrical role ’s ability to keep on to regenerate . Both regenerations that Fourteen has been involved with have had a unique boundary , so the biologic process may have run into outlet . Doctor Who’sbi - generation twistalso call into question who the Fourteenth Doctor will become when and if he regenerates , asthere ’s still very little entropy on this new addition to the show ’s traditional knowledge .
The Fourteenth Doctor is the first version of the Time Lord whose power to regenerate has been unclear . Doctor Who’s60th - day of remembrance special endingrevealed that the Toymaker tamper with the medico ’s history , and so , what was once understood is now a mystery once more . Regeneration is a huge part ofDoctor Who , and it ’s one of the big reasons the show has enjoy such a lengthy streak . However , the celebrated fib equipment could be undergo yet another change in the lead ofDoctor Whoseason 14 .
Doctor Who Is Deliberately Ambiguous Over Whether Fourteen Can Still Regenerate
The Answer Still Hasn’t Been Revealed
Ncuti Gatwa ’s introduction toDoctor Whomeans the rule surrounding regeneration have been re - written . When the Fourteenth Doctor tries to regenerate in the wake of the Toymaker ’s attack , the process materialise in a brand - new way . Instead of changing his font , the Doctor split into two separate Time Lords , one of whom is brand name unexampled : Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor . Fifteen declares that the process of bi - coevals is supposed to be nothing more than a myth , and therefore , he live as little about the development as his confused predecessor .
It ’s possible that the Fifteenth Doctor has now taken the ability to rejuvenate from Fourteen , bump off the magnate from him rather than both of them being capable of the effort . This would tolerate Gatwa ’s Doctor to go forward to rectify in a way that is more familiar , build through new faces that they do n’t realize . Such a ontogeny would be in line with the show ’s traditions , always looking ahead rather than survive too obsessively in the past . Of course , there is always the theory that bi - propagation is now the norm for the Doctor , and each Doctor becomes two as they attempt to recuperate from extreme strong-arm psychic trauma .
This could , however , mean that the power to regenerate is now exclusive to the Fifteenth Doctor , with Fourteen being bequeath ineffective to regenerate . However , if this is the font , the writers would be creating a similar storyline to one that ’s already happen inDoctor Who . The time of year 4 finale discover a part - human version of the 10th Doctor , also played by Tennant , who lacked the power to regenerate . experience as the Meta - Crisis Doctor , the variant in time of year 4 would be too similar to Fourteen if both lack the power to regenerate . Whileit would be a heartwarming close for Fourteen to grow older with Donna , it would lack originality .
The Meta - Crisis Doctor is trapped in a parallel population with Rose Tyler .
If The Fourteenth Doctor Regenerates, It May Not Be Into Ncuti Gatwa
The Regeneration Process Is Unpredictable
As register in " The Giggle , " there is no path to foresee what the Doctor will calculate like each time they regenerate . As a result , if Fourteen has retained his ability to regenerate , there is no guarantee that he will finally become Gatwa . There are also various book of facts to Fifteen originating from somewhere in Fourteen ’s future , so the possibility remains that there are still Doctors that will derive between the two versions demo in " The Giggle . "
The possibleness continue that there are still Doctors that will amount between the two versions shown in " The Giggle . "
Should Tennant ’s Fourteenth Doctor regenerate , it ’s more likely he will gain an unfamiliar face or will revert to another previous one . The Doctor was in a land of shock when they regenerated from Jodie Whittaker ’s Thirteenth Doctor back into David Tennant , so it ’s unclouded they had no witting control over the development . If the Doctor has reclaimed one face already , there ’s no reason they ca n’t continue to revert , revisit preceding faces such as Matt Smith ’s Eleven or even Christopher Eccleston ’s Ninth Doctor .
Doctor Who has been play by a craw of fantastic actors lead back several decade , and each version has been both unique and memorable .
Every Doctor Bi-Generated In The 60th Anniversary, Not Just Tennant
The Events Of “The Giggle” Ripped Through The Doctor’s Timeline
Russell T Davies , who has recently regress for his second stint asDoctor Who ’s showrunner , has recently given his theory during the comment of " The Giggle " that the bismuth - propagation did n’t just occur to the Fourteenth Doctor . At the same second , every version of the Doctor bi - return , resurrecting the MD whose time was brought to a close by traditional regeneration .

The event extend the setting of an already tremendous show , presenting countless possibilities for multi - Doctor arc . The villains of the macrocosm often struggle against one Doctor , but multiple bi - multiplication of every Dr. through history mean thatthe heroical Time Lord can now be in more shoes at once . Doctor Whohas always preached the dangers of a character crossing their own timeline , but that could now be ineluctable .
Doctor Who Has Unlimited Regenerations After The Bi-Generation Twist
The Doctor Isn’t Going Anywhere
Despite already being functionally immortal , the bi - genesis twisting means the Doctor is now more omnipresent than ever . The Doctor is a notoriously difficult part to vote down , but it has been shown to be potential in certain installment . For instance , in season 4 , episode 11 , " turn over Left , " Donna see a timeline where David Tennant ’s Tenth Doctor is killed before he has the chance to regenerate . If something similar were to find again , there is now no shortage of extra Dr. scattered along various timelines to mistreat in and help .
For as many physician as there already were prior to the events of " The Giggle , " the introduction of bi - generation means there are now at least twice as many . While it could be indicate thatthe ability to endlessly replace the Doctor lowers the stake , it also gives the show the possibility to go forward with no goal in ken . The structure of the show has not changed too greatly , with season 14 solidification to continue come only one version of the Time Lord , as Ncuti Gatwa steps in to lead the new epoch of the show .
There may now be a greater chance of multi - Doctor stories , but this was always something that was a possibility . With the replication of previous Doctors often highly anticipated byDoctor Whofans , the series may be appear to capitalise on that nostalgia . Additionally , the kinetics between various Doctors shit a impudent and compelling addition to the show .
