Doctor Who, 2:15-3:15 pm, Hall H

Doctor Who to Take Over SDCC Hall H on Thursday

After taking a break last year, the popular Doctor Who series is back this year at San Diego Comic-Con, with star Peter Capaldi making his first appearance at the convention.

Capaldi’s appearance won’t be the only thing that’s new for the series at Comic-Con this year, though, as it’s also receiving a date change as well. After being a Hall H Sunday staple for years, the series is moving to Thursday, July 9 (though still in Hall H).

Along with Capaldi, stars Jenna Coleman (Clara Oswald), Michelle Gomez (Missy), and Executive Producers Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin will also be in attendance.

“Tales of San Diego Comic-Con are told in awe on every set around the known fantasy/sci-fi production world. It’s become a fabled kingdom. One I am thrilled to find myself heading for. And to appear in the legendary Hall H, is a further twist to the cosplay and comic madness I may never recover from,” Capaldi said.

While this is huge news, it also opens up some questions — namely, what could this potentially mean for Hall H on Sunday? Hall H has stayed open on Sundays the last few years, taken over by the most popular TV shows. It’s possible that we could see a shift of more TV programming into Thursday in Hall H — especially with Con Man producer PJ Haarsma having revealed that the Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion web series would be on Thursday between “Doctor Who and Marvel“. If that holds true, and with this announcement it looks like it could, we may also see Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and/or Agent Carter get the Thursday Hall H treatment as well.

The new season of Doctor Who debuts this fall on BBC America.

That's a really good point... if Dr. Who is having a Hall H panel on Thursday, that makes it likely Con Man is afterward.

It feels so weird to have a Doctor Who panel on Thursday, since I started going to SDCC it was always on Sunday... I wonder if this will be another year of nothing interesting on Sunday

I hope they make it the first panel in the room.  I know the Sunday Who panels were always packed. If it's not the first panel, you'll see people sitting through the panel before it.

Isn't it supposed to be right before the Con Man (3:45) panel? So I'm guessing about 2:30PM...

I am writing this as I am getting on the line - just kidding. This will certainly create some extra mass on the line. Whoever does not have PN will certainly have the jump on the rest of the PN crowd.

I'm guessing some people might get in line as soon as they're back from picking up their badges on Wednesday

I hate to say it but I would anticipate noon since there is literally nothing going on with the exception of badge distribution and hotel checkins.

Oh dear. Maybe I should change for an earlier flight. Or fly in Tuesday night instead.

I love that I'd actually be awake for this panel lol but I'm afraid of the competition.

This makes an arrival Thursday morning... ill-timed. I may consider changing my flight, but the change fee is not cheap. Hrmph.

Well, when Twilight used to be in Hall H on Thursday the line camping started as early as Sunday.  There's no other lineup prior to this, so it will be interesting to see when the line starts (or when CCI will officially let it start).
