We have more information than ever before on the people and planet of Gallifrey — be it in the show, the audios, the novels, etc. — so we’re going to take a good long look at it all and make some sense out of it. What kind of society really holds itself to such lofty ambitions as the Time Lords? Why would such an advanced society have technological dropouts, or be so interested in prophecies? And how would the Doctor grow up in a barn?

There are very distinct groups of fans at this and other conventions: viewers, critics, writers, artists, podcasters, cosplayers, prop collectors, and more. And yet, we all gather together every year at Gallifrey One. Let’s bring a group of diverse fans to the same table and discuss the common love for the show and maybe bring some people together who might have otherwise never met.
Let's see... I come by my nerdom naturally, having been raised on Star Wars AND Star Trek (that argument confuses the hell out of me). I also run PDX Whovians, a monthly Doctor Who meetup group. Check us out at https://www.facebook.com/pdxwhovians.

Doctor Who fans are among the most extraordinary in all of the many fandoms. The makers of the documentary inDoctornated set out to find and document the lives of four people whose love for the series has led to them somehow making the world a better place. The doc started shooting last year in Mission Viejo and Irvine, and in the coming months is headed to San Diego and Yuma, Arizona. Hear from the filmmakers, see their first trailer, and get to know a couple of inDoctornated’s fascinating subjects in person. Drop in to the panel, pick up a ribbon, and discover where they’ve been, where they’re at, and where they’re headed.

Where the blooming heck is “Marco Polo?” Let’s discuss!

Since shows like Doctor Who and Star Trek have broken the 50 year milestone, many of the longtime fans have definitely seen more “seasons”… and with the explosion of cosplay of younger fans, it has become a pop sensation. But fans have been cosplaying for decades, in fact, and this panel will demonstrate how popular costuming (as it used to be called) has been, share some hints from older costumers aimed at keeping the flame alive, and how the two generations can relate better.

Doctor Who’s humanism and love of science and reason is perfectly compatible with matters of faith and spirituality; the common themes of selflessness, charity, honesty and self-sacrifice have been pillars of the program since its inception. Is there room in the TARDIS for both God and the scientific origins of (and future of) the universe? We’ll have a lively and courteous discussion about the role of religion and faith in the show and how Doctor Who has always been a story of morality.

Taking last year’s panel a step further. Crossovers have been a big part of fandom for years, but there’s one that has really stuck, even bafflingly so: Superwholock, the mashup that brings the three shows Doctor Who, Sherlock and Supernatural together in one giant shared universe, and it’s huge online. We’re going to follow this up with some new discussion, including talking about Tumblr, OTPs, and the amazing online culture that brings these fans together.

Lars Pearson (co-author of Ahistory, the definitive Doctor Who timeline, now 180,000 words bigger than War and Peace) leads a group discussion that tries to answer any and all questions about how the wide-ranging world of Doctor Who (the TV show, the books, the audios, the comics, the candy cigarette ads and more) fits together. Or in fact doesn't... no matter how much one tries to pound a round peg into a square hole. Come and geek out with one of the few people to get paid to consume ALL of Doctor Who in its myriad of forms.
Was It the 1970s? From the Bond-esque swashbuckling and high-tech gadgetry of the Jon Pertwee era, through Tom Baker’s early gothic drama period under Philip Hinchcliffe or the sweeping high fantasy & science fiction pastiche brought to the show by Graham Williams and Douglas Adams, we’ll take a critical look at what many fans consider the show’s glory period, Doctor Who in the 1970s.
How does critical fashion affect opinions of Doctor Who stories, both professionally as well as through social media and the Internet? What’s on the way up and down critically right now? How have different sorts and eras of fandom influenced what’s well-regarded? We will take a hard look at these topics.

Why is the steampunk genre so popular with science fiction fans? (Let’s face it: Doctor Who even has steampunk chic going for it… have you watched the opening credits lately?!)

We have all seen crossovers in other genres, some done to death. But let’s be honest: who do we think, out of all of the villains in classic literature, television, film or otherwise, would give the Doctor a run for his money? We’ll go for the jugular here as we answer the time honored question, “Who in the world would defeat Doctor Who?”

As proposed by the legendary Arthur C. Clarke, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Doctor Who has skirted the line throughout its long history, from its wibbly-wobbly junk science to the literal use of magic itself, but often times still remaining completely plausible. We’ll discuss the use of science, magic and reason in the show, and figure out what’s based in reality, what’s theoretically possible, and what has been made up for the good of the story.

For many fans, both American and British, the only way to experience Classic Who stories a second time was to read the Target novel adaptations.
