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.

The Song Will Never End
Saturday February 15, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PST
Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
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.

Saturday February 15, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm PST
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.

The Myths and Legends of Gallifrey
Saturday February 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm PST
Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
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.

How Comics Shape Pop Culture (And Vice Versa)
Saturday February 15, 2025 3:00pm - 4:00pm PST
Program C (Pacific Coast 2/3)
There's no denying that comics aren't just part of popular culture, but they've shaped its course for decades... and pop culture has done the same in reverse. Our guests will discuss the major impacts of comics going full mainstream, the cinematic universes created from them, and how changing values in society have steered the course of the comics industry itself.

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.
