Twelve’s Doctor Who Companion Deaths Explain Thirteen’s “Fam”
Team TARDIS could have been a coping mechanism for Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor
Thirteen ’s unequalled glide slope to jaunt in the TARDIS can be explained by look at her recent history asPeter Capaldi ’s Twelfth Doctor . The Doctor is , alas , no stranger to losing companions , although it ’s not always on a permanent basis . However , Twelve was in the devastating position of losing two companion in relatively quick succession . Capaldi ’s Doctor did n’t just turn a loss Clara Oswald , but also Bill Potts . Therefore , the Thirteenth Doctor may have felt the demand to fence in herself with companions and wander her way into a strain of family structure to aid her grieve her recent loss as Twelve .
The Doctor ’s relationship with his companion change with each regeneration and the introduction of new cast members . However , one of the more traditional approaches has been to twin a male Doctor with a distaff familiar . While this combination is n’t always quixotic , there have been obvious exceptions - for representative , the Doctor and Rose Tyler ’s relationship . Jodie Whittaker ’s casting as a distaff version of the Doctor immediately buck this trend , and her ( mostly ) Platonic relationship with her " fam " reinforced the modification in counselling . Regardless , Thirteen ’s new mindset may have been installed by Chibnall , but it arguably begin in her previous regeneration .
Thirteen’s Entire Persona Was A Response To The Twelfth Doctor’s Losses
The Doctor became much more open following their spell as the Twelve
The desire of Jodie Whittaker ’s Doctor to be part of a larger family building block was n’t the only trait that was brought about by the red of Clara and Bill . Previous Doctors have been frustratingly close off when they ’ve been processing trauma , even to their associate . While Thirteen may not have been an open Bible , she was much more emotionally available with Team TARDIS . This new aspect of the Doctor ’s personality may very well have been a response to their previous two companions meeting their end while in Twelve ’s care .
For all the Thirteenth Doctor ’s newfound aroused honesty , she still threw up barriers for herself when it came to certain family relationship kinetics with members of her category - esque building block . For example , John Bishop ’s Dan Lewis confront Thirteen in " Eve of the Daleks " about pretending not to be cognisant of Yaz ’s romanticist attachment to her . When he does this , it ’s not an accusation the Doctor externally deny . So , underneath it all , the Doctor does still have psychological obstruction they demand to overcomedue to losing two companion so tight to one another .
Capaldi’s Era Also Set Up David Tennant’s Doctor Who Ending
The Fourteenth Doctor’s decisions were still influenced by the death of his former companions
The emotional turmoil experienced by Peter Capaldi ’s Doctor did n’t cease with Thirteen . In fact , Twelve ’s experiences also explicate why David Tennant ’s Fourteenth Doctor reclaimed his honest-to-goodness faceand sought out Donna Noble for backup . The Doctor had been suffering and saving the day for one thousand of age by the time Peter Capaldi stepped into the TARDIS as the Doctor . Therefore , it would make sense that miss Bill and Clara would be close to the final straw for what the Time Lord was capable to tolerate .
Peter Capaldi is most well - known in Doctor Who for play the Twelfth Doctor , but his account with the show intend he has other part too .
As such , the Fourteenth Doctor ’s statusas a occupier of the Noble home could be seen as another attempt to be part of a family , but this time on a more lasting basis . So , although it may seem that the end of Peter Capaldi ’s time as the Doctor came to a definite end point , his watch two re-formation continued to suffer the aftermath of his sorrow in theDoctor Whostories that were still to come after his expiration from the show .
