To anyone who comes back to this and has watched this video more than once. Thanks for making this reaction the most viewed on my channel. You guys are always so amazing and I'm very grateful for all of your support!

He was Amelia's imaginary friend and Amy became his in the end.

"You ever sneezed so hard you turned into Capaldi?" - some commenter I don't remember the username of.

Matt Smith was and probably will always be my favorite Doctor. “I will not forget one line of this. Not one day! I swear. I will always remember... when the Doctor was me!”

Handles is still the longest companion to the doctor

Matt Smith's Doctor has lived a very long life. One of your greatest worry about this doctor was that he would be lonely. During his last moment he was adore by every human on that planet, and was surround by love. If you think about it, the 11th doctor has one of the happier ending.

*Downside:* She's distraught. *Upside:* She's totally hooked for the long term, guys. That's the gift of 11.

"A tear, Sarah Jane? No, don't cry. While there's life, there's..."

Fun fact, Karen and Matt both had their heads shaved and were wearing wigs for that last scene together. Karen was doing Guardians and Matt was doing an indie film in America.

12 is a tough sell at first as he is a doctor who has let all of his faults and insecurities and fears overwhelm him and shut down emotionally, so that emotionally he does not carry on the way he was -= he is a doctor that paradoxically has finally let his fears of what he is, his more negative aspects catch up to him and so takes steps to sort that out but in the process becomes more of that- so he is detached and dark at first especially, but his character arc is a stunning one- one of rediscovering empathy and the core reasons why he does what he does, becoming the most transformative doctor, and as a result one of the saddest and most powerful- a doctor forever defined by his deep regret at the negative aspects of his life and its effects on those around him. . I think you will find him a bit remote at first but hopefully grow to love him as so many others did.

Hello Sesska, just wanted to give you a bit of background. Originally 11 regenerated on the top of the tower. When you saw the boots coming up the stairs that was supposed to be Peter Capaldi in Matts clothes. Moffat changed it because he didnt want Matt going out as a shouty old man and rewrote the final scene as a more tender goodbye for the fans. Karen Gillan just happened to be in London at the time filming Guardians of The Galaxy and they called her up and asked if shed like a walk on for the goodbye scene. Oh yeah, if this helps you laugh a little, both Matt Smith and Karen Gillan were wearing wigs. Matt had shaved his head for a movie role that had been shot before this filmed, and Karen of course was bald for the role of Nebula. I only ask that you please give Peter Capaldi a chance. It may take a while to warm up to him, but he really is a spectacular actor and a class act. All my best for the future, DF

10th Doctor’s/David Tennent’s last words: “I don’t want to go!” 11th Doctor’s/Matt Smith’s last words: “I will always remember when the Doctor was me.” These last words are too deep!

I love how the Doctor's last lines before they regenerate are more of a heartfelt goodbye from the actor rather than lines. You can really tell that those specific lines are the actor and not just lines. 9: Before I go I just want you to know you were fantastic, absolutely fantastic. And you know what? So was I. 10: I don't want to go. 11: I will not forget one line of this. Not one day. I swear. I will always remember when the Doctor was me. Matt Smith rules. He will always be my Doctor. Mainly because of the chemistry and camaraderie between The Doctor, Amy, Rory, and River Song. I don't know if the writers will ever be able to match that kind of line up and story arc.

Fun fact: it was originally going to be more than just Amy at the end. The earlier draft was printed in Doctor Who Magazine: "He is turning now, seeing all his friends waving at him from the walkaway. There’s Craig and Sophie, and their son. He’s a couple of years now. Turning, there’s Dorium Maldovar. He makes a comical little gesture at his head - oops! There’s Vastra and Jenny, waving. Strax giving a sontaran salute. Brian Williams - a little nod hello. River Song, blowing the sexiest kiss, and winking. And then, there they are, like the King and Queen of the Prom. The Ponds. Rory and Amy." Also, at one point Eleven was going to lose his leg. Glad we were spared that, losing him is traumatic enough as is.

Goodbye to the Fairytale Doctor, hello Rock n Roll Doctor.

11 started as Amy's imaginary friend. In the end, she was his.

Fun fact for the regeneration scene: Karen Gillan and Matt Smith were both wearing wigs. Matt Smith needed to be bald for a theater play while they filmed the episode (hence the hidden key in the wig scene) and Karen Gillan had to be bald for Nebula in Guardians of the Galaxy

The eleventh's hour is over now and the clock is striking twelve

It never gets easier watching Smith’s regeneration into Capaldi, I always shed a few tears. Dude will always be my favorite Doctor.

"You've been trying to kill me for centuries, and here I am - dying of old age" That was fucking savage !

"This is going to be so delightful and I love it!"... 35 min. Later "(sobbing) I wore a bowtie" Yep that how I remember that going

It's so perfect how you've timed these videos. As you're meeting Twelve for the first time, the rest of us have just said our goodbyes.... It always hurts like hell when "your" Doctor has to depart (Matt was my Doctor as he was yours - and I'm sure he was many others' Doctor), so let me offer you some kind words of advice from a future friend. "Everything always ends, and it's always sad. But everything begins again too. And that's always happy. Be happy."

I actually feel sorry for people that don't connect as deeply as some of us do with TV show characters, empathy is a wonderful thing. Thanks for sharing yours Jess, your reactions are amazing, screw the haters :)..btw i was as traumatised by Matt leaving as you were both this time and the first time i watched it lol. :)

This hit you so hard, oh my god. You deserve a huge hug. Hope your New Year mood is not ruined. Cant wait to see your reaction to the 12th Doctor's era.

Bless your heart you poor angel. We all went thru that episode back in the day. It's a painful one. I bet you're gonna love 12. Give him a chance, he gives the best speeches ever.

Also, this is the ONLY TIME DW made me cry for a CYBERMAN! RIP Handles! ☹️

I just realized something BOTH River and Amy were invisible to everyone else but the Doctor, both mother and daughter came back to him one last time, one last farewell, in his darkest moment! Rory deserved one moment like this

Look at her face drop when she realizes he's still changing.

"I will always remember when The Doctor was me!"

*sees thumbnail of sesskasays crying* Me: *smiles*

The most heartbreaking and painful episode: Doomsday End of time The Angels Take Manhattan Time of doctor I'm always sad when i rewatch these episodes

Sesska, you don’t have to apologize for showing emotion and connecting with fictional characters. They’re not entirely fictional to us, or we wouldn’t feel so much for them. You Are so lovely and wonderful just the way you are. Be well

"It's only a statue." Jess and Whovians everywhere "PANIC!!!!!!!!!!"

as someone who loves Eleven just as much as you and he my absolute favourite doctor is I have to say that Peter Capaldi is amazing as the doctor and he is my second favourite; I am sure you will love him!

10th-“I don’t want to go” 11th-“I’ll always remember when the doctor was me”

Re Amy Pond showing up again, there's a meme that made me weep: He was her imaginary friend. And in the end, she was his.

Perfect timing on when you ended this. Breaking our hearts all over again. Welcome to 12. Farewell 11.

That has to be the most heartbreaking reaction to a Doctor's regeneration ever. Just seeing you in so much despair when Twelve came up and after the credits. I have to say, congrats for hurting my heart with this reaction, that was rough. I knew you wearing a bow tie was going to haunt you. But also, thank you for Sesskacember. It's been a fantastic 31 days of Doctor Who and all your videos have been wonderful. You have worked your socks off to bring great content this month and to say it has paid off would be an understatement, thank you Jess. You are seriously the best

I have to say... I got wrecked just like this when 10 regenerated, like beat up the rest of the day kind of wrecked. But this 11’s good bye is still my favorite one. He really conveys the kind of Doctor he was, a kind of hopeful and playful Doctor. This is the goodbye I keep going back to watch because I love his message. “So long as you remember everyone you used to be.”

"Raggedy Man, goodnight" will always come in like a wrECKING BALL TO MY HEART

Keep an open mind about Capaldi. I started off resenting him for replacing my favorite Doctor, but he ended up being my close second fav to Matt in the new Who era. It will take some time to adjust to him, he's very different, but he's much more like a classic Doctor and has some awesome story lines that you will love during his run!

The actress playing the grandmother Oswald is an actress from a classic Who episode "Vengeance of Varos" (6th Doctor).

You'll be alright. 11 was one of the best Doctors, hands down. 12 will not disappoint you. It may take a few episodes, but give him time.

Don’t fret, we will see Matt as the Doctor again in the 60th anniversary in five years time. The genius thing about the 11th Doctor’s ending is that Matt can also return for the 70th, 80th, 90th, 100th and possibly even the 110th anniversary specials without people worrying that he’s “too old” to play his Version of the Doctor again, as 11 can always be found at some point in Christmas on Trenzelore. . Happy times and places.

This Doctor, the eleventh, gave me so much hope when I needed it. I was closeted, afraid to tell everyone for 8 years, and watching this Doctor, his magical stories, his relentless hope ... he got me through all of that and made me a better person. He is the reason I keep hopeful, and keep dreaming even though those around me might tell me I'm crazy. For me he's real and he's my Doctor.

Eleven’s hour is over now, the clock is striking Twelve’s...

I cried so much when Matt was gone, but I didn’t know I was going into the episodes of one of the greatest Doctor ever. Capaldi is extraordinarily great.

Matt Smith had my favorite regeneration speech. Simply beautiful and wise. Brave heart, dear.

I knew I would be crying with you. Eleven/Matt will always have a special place in my heart, especially with the Ponds so I know how hard saying goodbye to them is. His era truly made me love the show, I enjoyed it as a kid with the RTD era but it was this that made it my favourite show. Capaldi is coming up now and he does take a bit of getting use to but he has become my second favourite doctor and I hope you continue to enjoy the show. I think we all want to give you a hug after this, everyone has their doctor so everyone knows how heartbreaking it is.

"He sounded happy! I am happy." Oh sweety...

"I wore a bowtie" has never sounded so heartbreaking...

A lot of people forget that the actual regeneration scene was on top of the tower. 35:00 Plot twist -- 11 invented the woah

Hope you enjoy 12! He's a bit of a tough sell at first, but he's really really great

I don't want to relive the moment again but I have to see this.

When he does the “We all change, when you think about it...” speech, it hurts to this day.

That ending was brilliant. Shows off perfectly both the essence of 11th doc and 12th. 11th being the wise old young man with a big heart comforting us. 12th being confused and frantic yet in control, like a mad scientist.

I have a feeling that she's going to be mirroring Clara quite a bit as she watches Capaldi, as far as being very skeptical and scared in the beginning. I hope she ends up loving him as much as I did!

I just want to give you a huge hug! 😔❤️ It’s horrible and hard losing your doctor, I had the same reaction as you with mine. I am very excited for you to see 12 as he who I consider my Doctor. Thank you for a fantastic Doctor Who December and thank you for being so real and true in your reactions, one of the reasons why so many come back to watch is because you’re so honest, the people who criticise you for being human are just ridiculous!

12:57 See, its that moment, that makes me realise how much effort Moffat had to put into this. After finishing the Name of the Doctor, Matt Smith told Moffat that he'd do another season - but after doing the 50th, asked to be written out at the end of the Christmas special. So Moffat had to compress the ENTIRE Season he had planned into a single Hour episode. I expect Tasha Lem would have been a recurring character during that season. As would have the Church - with references to the Church that participated in the Crash of the Byzantium. The moment there, where the Church was revealed to be a Past incarnation of the Church of the Silence, would have been a stunning moment. That moment, when Tasha Lem - a heroic character up till that point - made the decree that "Silence Will Fall", would have been the plot twist that ended the first episode of the Two Part Finale. I think it would have been amazing.

Capaldi quickly replaced Tennant as my favourite after his first episode. I hope you really enjoy him aswell. You mentioned that one of the things you liked about Matt Smith's run were the speeches. Capaldi's Doctor has become known throughout the fandom for his fantastic speeches and Capaldi delivers them fantastically.

26:20 I already can't handle the heartache on Jess' face and it's not even the speech yet

Twelve has a bit of a rough start, to an extent I think intentionally on Moffat's part, he begins in a very different way than Eleven did, but he's quite possibly become my favorite Doctor, stick with him his character arc is worth it, and Capaldi does an absolutely fantastic job in the role.

Watching you go from elation, to confusion, to sadness in 5 seconds when he was young again and explaining the reset got me all teared up...can definitely tell 11 was “your Doctor”. Everyone has one. For new who, mine was 12 (and I bawled with his final story, you will get there soon enough). Classic Who my Doctor was the 5th (Peter Davison), he was the active Doctor when I first started watching, though I only caught his last 3 stories before his regeneration.

I never understood why people bust on reactors who cry while watching. People who can cry for and over tv shows and movies and the characters have compassion and empathy, and that is never something to feel ashamed of. Also, I thought half of the reason people watch reaction videos was to share the emotions we ourselves feel for the subject matter, to watch others laugh at what we laughed at, cry when we cried, cheer at the things that made us shout "HELL YEAH!" It is a kind of sharing and connection, in this increasingly cold and heartless era. Thank you, Sesskasays, for sharing yourself so openly with all of us.

Meet my Doctor... he's pretty rad... for a grumpy old man...

My favourite moment would be when she thinks that the doctor doesn’t need to regenerate she looked so happy then all of that fell away almost immediately

Moffat has an ability to give hope and rip it away. At the start you see 11 all happy and Christmassy, you think, okay, we've maybe got a couple episodes with him. Then he gets old and that hope is again ripped away. Then we see him getting newer regeneration cycle, and it's a very triumphant moment, but we know the new face is coming. But then he gets young and there's fish fingers and custard. We feel, okay, maybe it's like 10, he gets a year of specials and then he goes. Then we get the speech. And then Amelia shows up. And then we're devastated. And to top it off, Moffat gives us a sneeze of a regeneration and flash. We have Capaldi. Then he makes us laugh again with Capaldi and his kidneys. What a man.

33:25 her face changes from happy to OH NO

"Oh no she is actually going to die!" was my initial reaction to this popping up

Oh Sess. I’m sending you so many hugs. Even if you watched this a while ago. Even if we finish this with tears, I just want you to know how much joy Doctor Who December has brought me and many others. I’ve had something to look forward to every day! I’ve spent time on discord servers, talking to others who also follow your channels, hyping reactions, trying to decode your emoji messages, and having so much fun. So thank you for doing this. And what better way to finish of this year of Doctor Who, with your favorite Doctor, than with Doctor Who December? I hope you’ve had fun with it as well (despite the tears), and it hasn’t been too stressful. Speaking of that, it wasn’t until you said it that I realized the one year thing. The rest of us had four years with Matt as the Doctor! Sure, there was a lot of waiting in between, but you’ve gotten all of that compressed. And it seems over too soon. Not that I’m not excited for what comes next, and to see your reactions to it - I am - but seeing you fall in love with this show, and with the Doctor, has been amazing. I knew there was always something you were going to like. I’ve had an interesting week. This Monday, I watched Tennant’s regeneration episodes (a Christmas special and a New Year’s special) with my youngest sister. He’s her favorite Doctor, and so that was quite emotional for her. And then this Tuesday I watched this year’s Doctor Who Christmas special, which also started the waterworks (for me this time). And then here we are, with your reaction to Time of the Doctor. So it’s been a week full of Doctor Who feels. But isn’t that amazing? I don’t get the people criticizing you for crying - I cry my eyes out at quite a lot of Doctor Who! That’s just how some people are, and we do want to see your reactions (not to say that we want you to suffer! Eh. But you get what I mean). I think the fact that this show, and certain characters, can bring us to tears is a testimony to them being able to affect us, and to good writing and acting. There’s nothing wrong with being empathic and connecting to characters. Doctor Who has helped me through a lot, and seemingly it’s helped you a lot too. It’s natural to be sad when you lose something that mattered to you, fictional or not. Don’t feel like you have to force yourself to try to go in completely blank with Capaldi, and all that, to make us as viewers happy. I’m not saying don’t give him a chance, or don't have an open mind, far from it, but I think it’s natural to have to take some time after you’ve just lost ”your Doctor”, so if you feel like you need to take some time, or if you don't feel it immediately when you start back up again, that happens. I know several of my friends who loved Tennant certainly took their time with Matt Smith. I think we all get it, you don’t have to defend yourself for being sad that Matt is gone, and not immediately jumping with joy at a new Doctor. It’s okay. That’s the beauty of this show really, it connects to so many people, but in so many different ways. And that means that sometimes things change and it makes us sad. But as Eleven himself says, we all have to keep moving and changing, or we'd all just be standing still. And he will not forget when the Doctor was him, and neither will we. Speaking of the beauty of this show - this episode. Yes, it’s a bit of a mess. Yes, it's very rushed. Do I care? Not really. I love (most of) it! It’s definitely a rewatcher though, I think I kept on discovering things even into my third or fourth rewatch. It’s tying up a LOT of lose ends very quickly, so there’s a lot to pick up from here. But I like it a lot. Hey, it’s the episode that made me cry over a cyberman-head, what can I say? It has so many easter eggs, both to Eleven’s own era, and a few to the Classics. Eleven dancing around with children. Fighting monsters, fixing toys. It’s perfect for him, isn’t it? But my favorite part of the episode has to be Eleven’s regeneration. Because while it’s sad, and while I bawl my eyes out, I think it’s beautiful. His last speech is one of my favorites in all of Doctor Who, and it’s one of those quotes that I’d love to have printed and hung up on my wall. ”We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people; all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.” - that’s a quote I’ve picked out to carry with me, in my head, and it means a lot to me, more than I can get into here. Funnier fact, when the car alarm went off, I was certain it was a car outside my window. Matt brought so much to this show and to its fans. He was wonderful about it, and I remember I was very sad when he announced he was leaving. It was a bit of a surprise really, even though we of course knew way before this episode. And I miss him, a lot. Even though he's not "my Doctor" (he's a close second, and sometimes I switch around), he was the Doctor when I caught up on the show, he was the first Doctor I saw a live-airing episode of, and he was the Doctor when I was in my biggest Doctor Who loving phase. He means a lot to me too, and to this show in general I think. It was never going to be easy to pick up after David Tennant - but he certainly succeeded. That’s me, done. I hope you had a good Christmas, and a happy New Year. Thanks for everything you gave us this December! :)

I have rewatched Matt's final speech over and over to try and get used to the fact that he's gone, but I turn myself into a sobbing mess every time. Then I get to where he actually regenerates into Capaldi and It's like, 'No no this isn't my Doctor bring him back'

Two fun fact, about this episode. 1. Matt Smith and Karen Gillan were both bald. Due to both of them having other film obligation. 2. At 35:17 to 35:30 that background music = "Ring of Akhaten." The lyrics of that song seem tailor to the doctors. Just a example the first verse seem very center on 11. Considering what 11 did on Trezalore (900 years of defending the people there), and Amy last words were to him. While the second verse goes toward the 12th doctor. It's like the swan song of the doctors.

The chemistry between Clara and 12 is just the most beautiful thing ever.

Now I think of it, of all the times the Doctor has hallucinated during the regeneration process, I think this was the first time a companion actually witnessed the Doctor hallucinating firsthand. Also he kind of sounded like Tennant when he said kidneys.

Matt Smith is my Doctor as well. He is perfect in every way. I know feeling real emotion towards a fictional character or an actor I don't know is crazy, but I do for Matt Smith as The Doctor, he and the writing made me love him.

i have a feeling you may be hesitant with 12 at the beginning (as we all were). but 12 has personally become my doctor and so many other people’s’ doctors. you really genuinely are in for such a beautiful journey and development with 12 and i can’t wait to see you react to him. his time as the doctor has taught me so much and he literally is one of THE greatest doctors of them all

Well the good news is, 12 and Clara are rather delightful as a pair, they really fit well together and 12 is Peter Capaldi who is (as you'll see) a rather fantastic actor. Can't wait to see your reaction to Series 8 and beyond.

Love from gallifrey boys, thats how he changed, he got a new regeneration cycle from them, 12 more.

These reactions are really good. I've binge-watched many of the reactions filmed over the last 2 years, and it's sweet to see them go from an unknowing, 'that was interesting' in season 1 to blubbing along with everyone else now. Great series of reactions.

11's time is over now.. The clock is striking 12 ;)

Don't worry, Sesskasays, have faith. Capaldi's Doctor is amazing, and so is Clara. Their chemistry together is a lot of fun -- different from Clara & 11 -- much more like Sherlock/Watson, to be honest. They're brilliant, funny, very emotional, and I think Seasons 8 & 9 (and their Christmas specials) are a real ride. You're going to love them, once you dive in.

This show will never forget when he was the doctor

I will always remember when the Doctor was him, and I will always remember how much you love him too. I didn't know many people who loved Eleven like I did before this year, but I'm so glad to have known you and so many others now to share the love with over the last few months. Watching you fall in love with Eleven and Matt has been joyous because it felt like watching my own journey all over again through your eyes. Matt had so much against him when he started since Tennant was so popular but he won me over and by the end of his speech to Amelia in The Big Bang he was MY Doctor. He inspired me to pursue acting further and now here I am studying it at uni. His last words have never left me and it's clear they won't leave you too. Your parting words after watching this episode were beautiful. I really hope you can continue to find love in the show somehow, but if you struggle there'll be plenty of love in everyone who loves you and your reactions to get you through. I still miss Eleven so much, but he's there every time you close your eyes. Thank you for loving Eleven and Matt. Sending big love your way xx

"Ohhh... Honey is old." But... but... honey never gets old. It's one of the foodstuffs that-Oh wait!

I'm glad you found solace in Doctor Who. I think that's why so many people love the show. It doesn't just entertain you, it teaches and enriches you too.

Now THAT was a reaction! Aw hunny you poor thing. Genuine hurt and love there. I may have to consider this for my next montage reaction video for this episode after seeing this. Well done. Tears in my eyes x

11 and 12 are tied as my favorite modern Doctors with the 2nd Doctor above them. I love them both for different reasons and I remember being so depressed when watching this in 2013. But PC is fantastic and watch some vids of his fandom like drawing past Doctors, talking to kids, and giving a wedding wishes to fans. He is one of us who got to play the Doctor and it shows so while losing Matt is hard there is still a lot of good to come. & as for 11 on one last note remember "We're all stories in the end just make it a good one" well he made it a great one.

I needed a deep breath after watching this.

I couldn't help but laugh seeing her face change as soon as 11 said it was only the reset.

At the end you say you'll never see 11 as the Doctor again, but he was ok Trenzalore for centuries so future writers can really easily bring him back and him being older is not an issue at all!

Fun fact, both Karen and Matt were bald in that scene, since Karen was doing Guardians of the Galaxy at the time.

As much as I miss 11, I'm really looking forward to your reactions of the 12th Doctor, he's my favourite Doctor, and it just so helps that Clara is with him too, considering she's my favourite companion.

Best.. Reaction.. Ever 😊 Personally I was always a David Tennant fan but after a couple of episodes, I really liked Matt Smith's version of the Doctor. The same happened with Peter Capaldi.. It took me a couple of episodes but I have to say, Capaldi is an amazing actor and he does a great job delivering some of the Doctors best lines and episodes 👍 Capaldi is defiantly up there with Matt and David as one of the best Doctors.

Don't feel ashamed to cry sweetie. It's always sad to say goodbye, but you'll be saying hello to Peter Capaldi soon. It took me a while to get used to him, but he delivers some of the best performances I've ever seen from a doctor. You'll love it x

Raggedy man, goodnight. Thank you so much for the best Christmas present for Dr Who fans imaginable, Dr Who December has been amazing Let the bells ring out for Sesska!

Matt Smith and Karen Gillan were actually both wearing wigs here, due to their roles in Lost River and Guardians of the Galaxy. Guess who got the better end of that one?

After seeing the doctor regenerate outside the TARDIS I'm starting to realise why the TARDIS needs some time to recover from what must feel like one hell of a hangover

35:15 In the background, you can hear the music is the song from the Rings of Akhaten, arguably 11’s greatest moment of being at peace with what is for him, effectively, death. A nice little touch that I noticed, given I watched that scene recently.

It's makes perfect sense to cry over a character. When a person dies you're upset because you'll never see them again. If a character you love dies it's the exact same. You'll never see them again and it hurts just as much. Thank you for doctor who December Jess. It brought me back to the fun and happiness that Matt gave us! Can't wait for your reactions for Peter.

"Bow ties are cool!" A thousand feels later: "I wore a bow tie..." I was hoping i'd catch this before i went offline and went out for tonight. Thanks, Jess, for another great reaction and for Doctor Who December. Everything's sad when it's over. Happy New Year to you, and to all subscribers and viewers of the channel.:)
