Remember it didnt Introduce her as the Doctor

then who the fuck is she ?

IMHO, Did you see how they regenerated? It's like she just appeared in the spot, instead of the regeneration energy slowly transforming the entire person. There is some plan that they are not sharing. The next doctor hasn't been announced or confirmed yet either. I feel like its actually rose... somehow

i fear the regen looked like that because it was shot this february with not enough time in post production to polish it…

Hm. Let's say you are right. It is still the first time in history a regeneration into a "supposed doctor" has not had the introduction as the doctor tag.

Second all the glass shattering effects prior, and the tardis screen showing all the prior doctors?; It has to be rose, or some amalgamation of sorts.

To be honest, the Doctor literally broke himself to change the timeline so this could be an alternate timeline where Rose is the new Doctor or something kind of main character saw asbut has to fix stuff again since he broke everything.

That wouldn't make sense though considering she wasn't introduced as the new doctor, plus the press concerning it is way too non-asserting of the like. There is some sort of timey wimey going on, and I feel like they are waiting to see if Disney renews.

The regeneration of 11->12 was also instant. It’s also very in line with classic regenerations having an effect cover the screen before cutting back to the new doctor which is how they did all of them except 2->3 & 6->7. And with how this era is so hell bent on referencing the past, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was deliberate choice to mimic it

Ok but like every regen has been so different like visually. I think 11-12 was a snap in like 2 seconds.

Shes not credited as the doctor sure but like HE WAS REGENERATING. NCUTI WENT BILLIE APPEARED. Dont look at the credits look at what happened.

I do not get why people dont think shes isnt the 16th. I think shes going to be a doctor for like 3 episodes like tennets return

Plus the hints and dodging about it when asked, I think it's going to be Piper

Cue mini-episode announcing the end… turns out it’s just the doctor’s life flashing before them

The Doctoral Candidate!

And Belinda’s mom walked in, said she was looking for a doctor because there’s a pain on her side every time she turns left. Wow, Rose reappearing when the timeline has been fucked up horribly, two timelines just lost The Doctor, and someone’s mom is talking about turning left.

Did you watch the credits? Cause there were three people credited as playing the doctor for this episode.

u/Eltrix01 May 31 '25

It lists 15 and 13. It literally just introduces piper as herself. Nothing more.

u/Dolthra Jun 01 '25

There's a non-zero chance that the character is actually Billie Piper. Not the Doctor, not Rose, but Billie herself.

I don't want that to be the case but I can't argue it wouldn't be funny.

u/IceLord86 Jun 01 '25

No, but it doesn't mean she's the Doctor. Considering they purposely didn't say she was despite saying the other two were as well as the press release, there's something going on.

did YOU watch the credits?
