Recreate! Animate! Exterminate!
Saturday February 15, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am PST
Program D (Pacific Coast 1)
While some classic Doctor Who stories have been restored via animation – much of which remains quite controversial – many stories remain fully missing. While audios have been released for the missing ones, fans have recently taken it upon themselves to restore episodes, some using AI, others (such as “Mission to the Unknown”) completely restaged with new actors. This panel will discuss restoration of classic Who, the pros and cons, where we are headed, and how much is left before everything is watchable again.

Trek to Madness
Saturday February 15, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am PST
Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
Popular Star Trek shows are axed (like Lower Decks and Prodigy), new shows are booked with less than excited response (Academy instead of Legacy… really?) and older concepts become one-shot films (Section 31). What exactly is going on over there with the Trek powers-that-be, and where do we think we’ll be in five years? We’ll discuss.

Past Perfect: The Fan Days of Yesteryear
Saturday February 15, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PST
Program D (Pacific Coast 1)
It’s easy to forget these days that the community of Doctor Who viewers and fans in America was a completely different experience a few decades ago. From public television pledge breaks to choppy VHS recordings traded amongst eager fans; from omnibus editions of classic Who serials to haunting the local bookstore for Target novelizations; and from fan gatherings to convention video rooms… the 1970s, 80s and 90s were an altogether different time to be a Who fan. We’ll discuss our favorite memories of those Doctor Who yesteryears.

Following “The Goblin Song” in the 2023 Christmas special, the first year of the Gatwa era gave us sound and music-related references and influences like no other season in the history of the series. We’ll apply our knowledge of music theory as well as the genre of musicals to help break down and discuss not only “The Devil’s Chord,” but the entire season as well, including a look at this season in the context of one of our most popular topics from years past: the role that characters with musical aptitude play in the narrative.

Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
Ncuti Gatwa’s first full season of Doctor Who broke the boundaries like no era before, when it comes to both racial and queer representation… but it’s also far from the only example of this happening on the series. We’ll take a deep dive into the history of Who representation, how various characters have been treated at different times, both throughout history as well as in the context of the series itself.

Saturday February 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PST

Though the Doctor left it behind in ages past, and seldom returns unless it’s absolutely necessary, it is no surprise that Gallifrey itself remains a vital and powerful part of Doctor Who mythology. From stories such as “The War Games,” “The Deadly Assassin” and “Hell Bent,” to continuing adventures on audio from Big Finish Productions, we’ll take a look at why the planet Gallifrey and its society is such a unique and important part of the show’s ongoing story.

Short Seasons, Long Waits
Saturday February 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PST
Program D (Pacific Coast 1)
No one likes waiting two years (or longer) for a season of television when we’re passionate about the show (a problem even Doctor Who has faced of late.) But there are reasons that a dozen episodes of TV take much longer to produce today than the 26-episode seasons we enjoyed a few decades back. We’ll talk about the ever-increasing production schedules, why we should continue to expect the delays… and even how best to cope with the long wait.

Separating Art from Problematic Artists
Saturday February 15, 2025 5:00pm - 6:00pm PST
Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
We all face moral quandaries when we continue to enjoy what we like – shows, books, films, comics and more – while gripping the disturbing things we hear about their creators. But where do we draw the line? And how do we live and let live, when it comes to the creative works that inspire us? We’ll have a frank and honest discussion about defining the boundaries between the work and its creators.
