People complain about the bi-generation, but it's really more of a regular regeneration with a twist. The past incarnation lingers around for awhile before they eventually fade out of existence. They're residue. This was done as a way to give the series a proper series finale. The Doctor, portrayed by David Tennant, was given a chance to live out life on the slow path. He was survived by a family, the Noble family, where not only was he reunited with Donna and Wilf, but he also gained a favorite niece whose name is Rose. He still has the TARDIS with him allowing him to escape and runaway like he's always done, but this time, he doesn't want to do that.
Meanwhile, The Doctor continues to go on running, the Fifteenth Doctor, portrayed by Ncuti Gatwa, continues to be the one that continues the regeneration line and carrying out the series. You see, the series finale to Doctor Who was sort of a Schrödinger's Cat ending. It both ended with The Doctor retiring and it continued with the new Doctor regenerating. Considering how this series has been remembered for it's wibbly wobbly timey wimey big ball of stuff. It kind of makes sense that the series finale would be something that was out of order and both ends while continues at the same time.
Not going to lie. Considering how the Twelfth Doctor literally just wanted to die and the Thirteenth Doctor's overly childish enthusiasm. It honestly makes me happy to see The Doctor finally getting a chance at a peaceful life on the slow path. I know a consequence of the bi-generation is that he likely cannot regenerate anymore due to him essentially being a remnant of his newer self, but that's okay, it at least allows him to live out the rest of his days which is something that no other incarnation can say.
I honestly kind of like the bi-generation twist the more I think about it now.

@previous (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC) > He's been young, been old, been female, been male, been fat, been skinny, etc
I'd almost argue it's closer to a "James Bond" situation where it was supposed to be for ease of casting on a long running series. Casting James Nigeria or Joanna Bond obviously shoehorns hollywood politics into something that isn't. I feel the Doctor Who series is doing just that, but fans can take it or leave it I guess - not suggesting a woke boycott or anything but I question what's really going on.

@previous (F)
Well with James Bond, he's meant to be different people with that same title
And with Doctorr Who, it's kind of the same person, but they regenerate into different bodies
And also on Doctor Who, we've seen a different Time lord change from male to female. And that's long before people started to get excited over perceived wokeness
