Doctor Who & Romance
Friday November 29, 2024 10:00am - 10:55am CST
Secondary Program Room | Grand Ballroom C
Last season, "Rogue" brought romance back to Doctor Who; but Rogue isn't the Doctor's first love interest! From Rose Tyler to River Song, Grace Holloway to Yasmin Khan, the Doctor has had a variety of onscreen love interests and fandom loves to explore those relationships. This panel will examine how love and romance have become a part of the Doctor's story since the series' revival. Panelists will discuss what romance brings to the show, how and why fandom finds "shipping" so popular, and explore how we see the Doctor's characterization and relationship with romance. Suggested by Sarah Urbank.

Why Do I Keep Going Back to the Classic?
Friday November 29, 2024 11:00am - 11:55am CST
Tertiary Program Room | Grand Ballroom B
We've now had six new Doctors (seven if you count Paul McGann) and fourteen full seasons of new-era Doctor Who (plus specials). But for many fans, whether we enjoy the new stuff or not, we keep returning to the original series... maybe for sentimentality, or maybe because it spoke to us in a way the new one didn't. We'll take a look at the enduring appeal of the classic era of Doctor Who, and our panelists will discuss the seasons and stories that keep them coming back for more.

Doctor Who fandom is full of writers: professionals, fans, scholars, authors, journalists, critics, publishers, scriptwriters, and countless new prospective writers. What can we learn about writing from Doctor Who? With decades of tie-in novels and fan works, there is always more to learn from the Whovian writing community. This panel looks at new perspectives that can help your writing grow and discusses the differences and similarities between pro- and fan- writing. Fandom is full of people who can help and support your work and dreams, and the purpose of this panel is to encourage writers to think about where their writing can take them through time and space.

It is a widely held opinion that Doctor Who is blessed with THE finest home video releases of any television programme, with the ongoing Blu-ray sets. Jam-packed with additional content and new ways to enjoy old episodes, these marvels of technology are just as exciting as new episodes. We'll discuss the Blu-ray sets and their content, as well as a little history of Doctor Who on home video, going all the way back to the first edited videocassette releases on VHS and Beta.

Gender Fluidity in the Whoniverse
Friday November 29, 2024 1:00pm - 1:55pm CST
Secondary Program Room | Grand Ballroom C
Sci-fi always presages the future, but what happens when your show runs so long that said future arrives? In the classic series, the idea of non-gender-conforming aliens like Alpha Centauri was a wild concept. Fast forward several decades, and the Doctor and the Master have both swapped in and out of genders. This panel will discuss gender fluidity in Doctor Who, past and present, as well as discussing why this is particularly suited to our favourite show. [Note: For this panel we would strongly prefer panelists to be trans or nonbinary.] Suggested by Stacey Smith?

Big Finish has been giving second chances and continuing stories for many underappreciated or "ended too soon" Doctors and Doctor Who storylines for 25 years. Many Classic Doctors, and now the Fugitive and Thirteenth Doctors, have benefitted from Big Finish's embracing of their characters and the hunger Doctor Who fans have to see more from "their" Doctors and companions. Let's talk about how Big Finish has carried the torch for all these years and what you hope to see from them in the future! Suggested by Taylor Deatherage.

As young fans, we are able to view the show through a modern lens and consider it in relation to current issues and trends in representation. We will take a close look at the narrative ways that episodes engage with marginalized identities. We are interested both in celebrating successful examples of representation and unpacking more complicated examples. A presentation of the DePaul University Doctor Who Club.

Doctor Who Spinoffs
Saturday November 30, 2024 4:00pm - 4:55pm CST
Tertiary Program Room | Grand Ballroom B
There's a new Doctor Who spinoff series coming soon - "The War Between the Land and the Sea" - featuring the Sea Devils and UNIT, created by Russell T Davies, who also created past spinoffs The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood. Done right, spinoffs can really transcend their perceived status as the 'second feature' and craft their own lasting legacies, as we certainly feel SJA and TW have done. We will discuss these shows (including K-9 The Series and Class too) and all that is great about them, and talk a bit about the upcoming show as well.

The popularity of Doctor Who ebbs and flows... and so do fan events, be they conventions, fan clubs, get-togethers and meet-ups. With fans having hundreds of shows to get their next fix, and dozens of ways to consume content, will the current slate of Doctor Who events endure, or do they need to change to prosper?

35 years ago, Tim Burton's Batman film graced our screens. While there had been a Batman film before, this one took the source material seriously and Batmania swept the nation. In this panel we'll discuss the various live-action Batman films made over the years. We'll discuss the elements that worked and those that didn't. We'll talk about the versatility of the character and whether some elements absolutely have to be kept. We'll also talk about our favorite actors in the role, the supporting characters, and our favorite films. We'll also talk about what we want to see out of the sequel to the most recent film, The Batman. Suggested by Nathan Laws.
