Regeneration. Who teared up?

[Samurai8472]

Matt Smith has big shoes to fill.

As the tenth doctor would say

WELLLLL, not big shoes more like shoes that are bigger on the inside and I like shoes that are bigger on the inside. I wouldn't know what to do with little shoes.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

I teared up at "I don't want to go."

 

[DAK]

Nope, not at all. Been looking forward to it actually. Matt Smith kicked butt in the one scene he was in; can't wait to see the next season!

 

[cardinal biggles]

Here's the thing, I wanted to cry! I was all ready for this big emotional moment that RTD's been going on about -- but like some others have already said, it was just too over the top to produce any real emotion from me.

This is pretty much the same for me. Maybe it's because they dragged it out so long, or because it was hard for me to be sad after two hours of silliness, but I just couldn't turn on the waterworks. I did when the Doctor and Rose had their big goodbye at the end of "Doomsday." I did when Owen and Tosh died, and when Ianto was killed. But I just couldn't this time. The closest I came was when he meets Verity at the book signing.

No.

 

[Starkers]

Matt Smith kicked butt in the one scene he was in;

No.

to quote Steven Moffat;s writings...

Yes, yes, yes!

 

[C.E. Evans]

Of course, it's way too early to tell, but having seen the trailer, I haven't been this excited about a new Doctor in a long time...

 

[Haggis and tatties]

Its far far to early to tell just how good or bad Smith will be, but i was very underwhelmed when i first saw Tennant regeneration and in that first xmas special, and we all know just how brilliant he turned out to be.

 

[USS KG5]

Okay. I was doing fine until the damn Ood choir kicked in. Then the waterworks really opened up when the Doctors hand started to glow.

Anyone else?

I got a bit teary - it was the scene with Jessica Hynes that really got me.

 

[Captain Dago]

Actually, I thought the earlier scene with Wilf in the cafe was far more touching.

 

[David cgc]

I also really didn't like how Ten was not willing to sacrafice his life to save another (well, at first), when the other Doctor's have, and he was willing to do so twice in season four. The whole afraid of death/regenerating bit was bugging me through out the specials, honestly.

He wasn't unwilling, he was just upset. If he were actually unwilling, he would've just gone to comfort Wilf instead of putting on a big, sarcastic production about how he shouldn't help him. I also think he'd started to expect it would catch him by surprise, and that he wouldn't have to decide to walk into his death.

Exactly so.

It's really, really a shame that they couldn't hold on to Tennant.

Tennant is cast as the captain in the new Star Trek series and RTD will be one of the showrunners.....I Wish. lol

 

[DimesDan]

I didn't cry, it didn't even cross my mind to actually cry when the Doctor regenerated nor any of the scenes just before hand. I did hold my girlfriends hand harder and harder through those scenes but that's about it.

 

[Geckothan]

I thought it was a bit over the top. I guess RTD wanted to go totally all out with the pointless homages and nods to every companion possible for his last episode, in true RTD fashion.

Not on the best day of Trek's existence.

Watching it again last night, I teared up a bit at the Verity Newman meeting, and again with the Doctor's "I don't want to go" line.

Matt Smith kicked butt in the one scene he was in;

No.

Yes. My opinion.

 

[Crusher Disciple]

I wish Smith had had a longer scene.

No. Mine.
