Building a Better Screwdriver
Friday February 14, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am PST
Program B (Pacific Coast 4/5)
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.

Death and the Doctor
Friday February 14, 2025 11:00am - 12:00pm PST
Program B (Pacific Coast 4/5)
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.
