It’s the prop that keeps on giving: the Doctor’s deus ex machina in screwdriver form. What should the trusty sonic screwdriver be able to do… and what shouldn’t it solve? Which sonics look, sound and feel the best? Our panel will discuss the many versions of the sonic screwdriver, and come up with our own ideas of what the best version might be.

Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
Like, what are they all waiting for? So many alien races and villains have tried to invade Earth over the years… and yet, they’re foiled time and time again. But only sometimes by the Doctor. What happens when our favorite Time Lord is nowhere to be found? Is UNIT stronger than we realize? Are there other heroes defending our homeworld, or are these monsters just terrible at alien invasions in general? We’ll discuss what’s keeping all the bad stuff in the universe at bay when the Doctor’s back is turned.

Death and, more importantly, regeneration is an ongoing theme: we see Doctors ready for change, unhappy to let go, or even outright resistant to what comes next. This panel will discuss the coming of regeneration for each incarnation of our favorite Time Lord, how they cope with it, and the differences between each portrayal… and how that bodes for their next persona.

Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
Although the Virgin and BBC Doctor Who novels are long out of print, and the Big Finish audio stories accessible only through purchase, the many characters and situations they introduced persist to this day. The adventures of Benny Summerfield, Chris and Roz, Charley and C’rizz, Fitz Kreiner, Erimem and Evelyn Smythe, amongst many others, are as important to Who mythology as the show itself. We’ll explore the various pathways these off-screen adventures have taken, how they fit into the larger narrative, and why fans keep going back to them.

Classic Who Cosplay 101
Friday February 14, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PST
Program D (Pacific Coast 1)
The original “classic” Doctor Who remains a very popular inspiration for cosplayers… even if many of the materials used to make the original were specific or aren’t even made any more, and fashions may have changed in the intervening years. We will cover some weirder builds and props, how to source unusual patterns or types of materials, some pros and cons of these materials, and discuss how important true screen accuracy is when creating items with these limited or different resources.

There’s a lot of neurodivergence in science fiction fandom, including Doctor Who fandom; it’s a welcoming space for everyone, including people on the spectrum, or who function more easily online or in small groups. That fact has also bred a great deal of creativity, in art, costuming, writing and much more. We’ll talk about how welcoming our fan spaces are to neurodivergent people, and how far we have yet to travel.

Doctor Who Deathmatch: Battle for the TARDIS
Friday February 14, 2025 6:00pm - 7:30pm PST
Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
Yet another round of our wildly popular Deathmatch panels! The TARDIS is at the center of Doctor Who in every respect: vessel, companion, home. This time, we’re going through all the iterations of the TARDIS: the very best consoles, console rooms, corridors, and the various incarnations of the police box itself. As always, our panelists will, at a very high rate of speed, review, then vote on, the worthiness of each regeneration, and declare through elimination an outright winner to crown the best of the best.

Time to get creative… it’s a discussion about how one can get involved in the Doctor Who and science fiction & fantasy fandom sphere, creating fan art (visual or physical), fan videos & films, fanzines, fan spaces and so much more. We’ll also discuss collaboration within the greater fan community, where to find said communities, and how to connect with people who share the same passions as yourself.
