I mean, I kind if just assumed that there would be??
Because surely they wouldn't fumble the ending THAT badly without trying to give it closure. I mean, if they're trying to keep Tennant for the Christmas special (which is what I'm assuming they're aiming for), it makes sense that they'd use the Christmas special to A) finish Tennant's arc, B) have a 2nd regeneration for funsies, and C) tie up loose ends by killing Tennant once and for all.
I was just assuming that the 'bigeneration' thing was a bit of a fakeout, kind of like Tennant's other fakeout regen when he was shot by a dalek that one time.
Does the whole 'bigeneration' thing as an introduction for Ncuti Gatwa make anyone else feel icky? Because I definitely feel like they did Gatwa dirty with a botched transition between regenerations because people are getting a liiiiiiittle too nostalgic with the whole RTD/Tennant thing.
Tennant is a brilliant actor, and I'm not trying to downplay everything he's done for the show, but by leaving Tennant alive, they robbed Gatwa of an introduction that shows respect to his iteration of his character, instead leaving him to be the Random New Person while The Real Doctor is yet to come into the completion of his arc.
It's just a disappointing diversion from giving Gatwa's Doctor the focus and development he deserves.
