Comikaze Daze: ‘Doctor Who’ Panel

The littlest Doctor: Mylo Gosch (age 10)
The littlest Doctor: Mylo Gosch (age 10)

Led by Jessica Tseang (ComiCast!, The Comic Book Girl), with Aaron Cisterlli (president of the Time Meddlers, the largest SoCal Doctor Who Fan Club) and Eric Wallace (Eureka, Mister Terrific), the official Doctor Who 50th Anniversary panel on Friday, Nov 1st, promised not-to-be-missed guests.

However due to technical difficulties, none of the guests mentioned by Tseang at the start of the panel–Karen Gillian and Sylvester McCoy among them–could join us, either virtually or in person. To remedy the situation, Tseang called up members of the audience who were rockin’ serious Doctor cosplay and had them answer questions in character (either as the actor or the actual character). There was a Ninth Doctor, a Tenth Doctor (with a honest-to-God British accent), a Captain Jack, an Empty Child and a few eleventh doctors, including the littlest Doctor, Mylo Gosch, age 10.

Due to technical difficulties, the panel was left without a special guest--so made do by inviting up cosplayers to answer questions in character.

The audience and the new additions to the panel were game to try, and a sometimes awkward, often hysterically funny panel commenced.

Join fans of the Doctor at Comikaze tomorrow, Saturday, Nov 2nd, at 9 a.m. for “The Great Time War: Who is the Best Doctor?”
