:Yeah, they could try and keep that stuff more under wraps, like how they did with Jenna's first surprise appearance in Asylum of the Daleks (or so I'm told). But I suppose it provides a buffer period so there isn't a major backlash from us fans. Imagine if they tried pulling something like the One-to-Two or Five-to-Six changes and have the regeneration mid-season. —[[User:BioniclesaurKing4t2|BioniclesaurKing4t2]] - [[User talk:BioniclesaurKing4t2|"Hello, I'm the Doctor.]] [[Special:Contributions/BioniclesaurKing4t2|Basically, . . .

Part way through a season without announcement would be the best way to do it. Firstly, there is the element of surprise leading to a more emotionally charged moment (people like having "all the feels"). Secondly, it then means that the audience is more wary of any future danger the Doctor is in, because they won't know when he will regenerate again, since the previous regen wouldn't have been announced and wouldn't come at the most logical time (the end of the series) meaning the next one won't have to be either. This increases the sense of danger the Doctor faces, meaning the stakes are higher, meaning the episode is more powerful. And finally, having a regen part way through a series would mean the new actor would have a chance to show off what they can do ''before'' a big, end of series break, minimising the backlash from the community as they are familiarised with the new actor immediately. But I guess, at least with Matt, it was kinda hard to keep the regen under wraps considering his new hairdo for that movie he's doing!
