For those of you have seen the regeneration why do you think the TARDIS threw the Doctor out the way she did?

I mean since Doctor 10 the poor girl has been trashed during a regen so my own personal headcanon says the old girl finally snapped and said "enough is enough" and dumped our fearless Timelord into the air.....

I think it might have been measure to protect the Doctor from the regen cycle of the TARDIS
herself. I wait with quiet excitement to see just how and where 13 is going land...Cardiff, perhaps?

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Yeah, the common theory around here is the TARDIS did it to protect The Doctor from the changes within it, without realize the TARDIS chucked The Doctor out high in the atmosphere. Most likely, the TARDIS will complete its changes, travel through time and space, and "immediately" catch The Doctor. No harm, no foul.

 

[Samurai8472]

TARDIS- Who is this?! Where's my silly doctor?!

 

[Timewalker]

So the TARDIS regenerates every time the Doctor does?

That's ridiculous.

 

[Emperor-Tiberius]

I think the TARDIS regenerates some times, and not always when the Doctor does. It just happened that it did occur every time a producer leaves and another comes right in. How strange, that.

Also, the oither reason is that the TARDIS didn't want the Doctor to be in harm's way.

The common thread between the 10/11 regeneration and the 12/13 regeneration -- i.e. the two that involved a release of energy intense enough to damage the TARDIS and force it to repair/rebuild itself -- is that in both cases, the Doctor held off regenerating for a significant amount of time. Evidently that allowed the regeneration energy to build up such intense "pressure" that it finally erupted destructively.

So, in the future, either the Doctor shouldn't fight regeneration so hard, or they should do it outside the TARDIS in some remote, empty place.

Well, 11/12's regeneration destroyed an entier Dalek fleet/armada.

So, there's that, too..

That still supports the "pressure" theory, since the Doctor was regenerating years, if not centuries, after he would've if he'd had the capability, never mind what other exotic side effects might happen as a result of being "injected" with a new regeneration cycle. We saw one explicitly called out, the "reset" proceeding the actual change (which apparently is a regular part of regenerating, but normally it happens fast enough that we don't see it. First the Doctor heals, then she changes as a necessary side-effect.)

I don't see why people are seeing this as something new or different, Eleven practically fell out of the Tardis just after he'd regenerated, he was clinging on by his fingernails! The Tardis may be sentient but she's taken the Doctor plenty of places that were dangerous, if she was that bothered she'd never let the Doctor leave the ship!

True... But I got the impression this time around she actively threw the Doctor out.

Thats my impression too..but there is some kind of warning on the screen for a split second...I can´t make it out for the hell of it...

Yes, and then the time rotor blew up a second later. Clearly, the TARDIS jettisoned the Doctor to save her life. Okay, falling through the upper atmosphere isn't exactly safe, but it's marginally safer than being engulfed by an explosion.

Something about "critical systems failure".

Though knowing the TARDIS, it just knew where the Doctor needed to be to 1) work through the "who am I this time?" trauma and 2) resolve situation of the week. With 2 being contributory to 1.

This.
Honestly, I don't think there's a big mystery. The interior was about to detonate, the Tardis evacuated the Doctor.
The Doctor has just regenerated. She'll be fine... she'll still have some of that regeneration energy... Certainly if a hand can grow back...

It all a big con by the BBC, she will plummet to the earth then die on impact activating a regen and changing back into a male doctor, BBC has been trolling you all good. lol

 

[Redfern]

...And cue the Wormhole's tired old rebuttal that the BBC supposedly can not "lie" because of some "divine" charter.

Oh god. That will provoke the fans yet again. They might have whined and complained about Jodie being the Doctor but if they did pull that stunt they'd complain she wasn't given a fair run....

 

[Haggis and tatties]

^^This is the BBC we are talking about after all, i would even suspect(and this is just my personal theroy about the old musky PTB at the BBC), they would have been quite happy to have a female lead in the part as they would have automatically assumed it would have mean't a massive cut in the cost of the leads actors wages for the roll as it was going to a woman, and also in the proccess unintentionally made the BBC look like they were not still stuck in the 1930s, sneaky swines.lol

Of course if any of that were indeed true then it has somewhat backfired now they have been dragged and pushed into paying out the same wage to the lead actor despite the gender change. lol

I am sure this has been mentioned before but maybe regeneration is traumatic for the TARDIS as well as for the Doctor. We've been very focused on what regeneration is like for the Doctor and how he does not like it. But the TARDIS is alive and has a special bond with the Doctor. Furthermore, we've seen the regeneration energy damage the inside of the TARDIS. So it would make sense in a lot of ways that the TARDIS does not like the Doctor changing either. So perhaps, the TARDIS throwing the Doctor out, was it's way of saying "I don't like this".
