"I'm sorry, comparisons are odious. It's chalk and cheese. Next question!"

Chris Hardwick and Peter Capaldi at the Doctor Who panel at SDCC

Hardwick: Why do you think [the Doctor] is so enamored of humans?

Capaldi: Budgetary reasons.

"People ask me, when did you first feel like you were on Doctor Who? I think it was when they threw a rubber spider in my face and said ‘Fight it’ and I said, ‘Doesn’t it work? Where’s the operator?’ ‘There is no operator; it’s a big rubber spider. Fight it!’

It begins.

The SDCC 2015 Thursday schedule is live as of today and already the wailing and gnashing of teeth over double-booked slots is beginning. Currently vexing: David Aja’s “Behind the Pages” and Kelly Sue DeConnick’s writing workshop programmed against each other. And then there’s the Doctor Who panel at 2:00 PM. Odds of getting in: slender.

The nerdpromnomnom team—me ( hangingfire​ ), rocketsandrayguns, chicklittumbls, and notionblur—will be back in action again this year. Stay tuned.
