“And I’m still not ginger”- an excellent way to reassure the audience that it’s still the same character, always thought it was a nice touch.

my dad was a lifelong doctor who fan and while he had some qualms with the 10th doctor, he thought this scene was excellently done, specifically the "i don't want to go" line. he passed away unexpectedly this week and the hospital doctors said he fought to stay here on earth after his heart attack. he didn't want to go. this scene will always make me think of you, dad, i love you forever

This was the very first regeneration scene I ever got to see as it aired, and it’s definitely one of the best. It provided such an incredible final stamp on the character arch of Tennant’s Doctor. Seeing him still have residual trauma from the Time War; to having some sense of stability with a companion he’d grown fond of, and to being all alone as a Time Lord Victorious before having his last stand. He started off on one hell of a high note, before going out in a literal blaze of glory. The fact that the TARDIS is seemingly falling apart along with him is quite poignant, a ship going down with her captain. Such an epic finale and great send off to the man who helped further solidify New Who’s popularity in the eyes of many.

David's acting here is phenomenal. The raw emotion on his face and in his voice. Absolutely heartbreaking. Everything about this scene was perfect.

And now he's BACK! Even if just for the 60th Anniversary special, to have back our most iconic Doctor is a precious gift indeed. ❤️

This scene hit so hard because you realize the price each one pays when they regenerate. They don’t just change physically but everything else about them does. Their personalities, feelings, mannerisms, even their outlooks on life. None of them really want to change cause it’s like their there own unique souls living in the same body and when the doctor regenerates the doctor loses another soul that just wanted to live as long as they could. 😢

Reminder: Tennent's Doctor only lived for 6 years, so it makes the line "I don't want to go" even sadder when you realize how little in terms of The Doctor's lifespan he actually lived.

I know we've talked about ten's regeneration, but can we talk about how incredible Matt's acting was in this? He took this moment to establish his character, and became the doctor in a matter of SECONDS

[alfyc]

I adore how Matt had such a tough act to follow yet cemented himself in our hearts as the doctor in a few seconds. I adore DT, but man, Matt was my Doctor.

David Tennant's acting in combination with the epic orchestral music makes this the most emotional regeneration ever for me!

[ImmaTyler]

Only David could make anyone cry with that line, "I don't want to go!"

[josemaria]

One of the saddest scenes in the nearly 60 years of Doctor Who. David Tennant is second to none in the NuWho era

[Darren_music]

This regeneration never fails to make me feel emotional... Ten will always be MY doctor.

one thing I think we overlook a lot with this scene is how difficult it is to write a transition from a moment of loss to a moment of excitement without making the loss feel meaningless. We grieve the 10th's departure just as much as him, but just as easily we flow into the excitement of the 11th! It's literally phenomenal acting and writing to get that right!

“I don’t wanna go.” Four simple words that mark Russell T Davies out as one the greatest writers of our time. So simple, so impactful, so unexpected yet so right. With those four words he made sure we all felt what the Doctor was feeling. I’ll never forget that moment, never.

David Tennant and Matt Smith are both supremely gifted actors. We're so lucky to have them ❤

[Rehmzzzzz]

Can't believe this was 13 years ago. I remember being quite critical of Matt Smith in just 10 seconds of his appearance, definitely regretted that later as Matt was equally amazing.

[GamingGrenade]

Such a bittersweet moment in the show.The end of the Tennant era and the beginning of the Smith era. The version without music highlights David's acting as well as makes the scene so much more emotional.

I get a feeling that when the doctor regenerates into the 15th doctor instead of saying “I don’t want to go”. He’ll say something like “I’m ready to go.”

[DrJayPlays]

Weird, he looks just like the 14th Doctor 🤔
