Sunday’s SDCC@Home panels that Star Trek fans should check out

Sunday is the last day for ComicCon@Home but that doesn’t mean there aren’t great events still for Star Trek fans to enjoy.

The last day for ComicCon@Home is on Sunday and the first and possibly only digital version of Comic-Con has generally been well received. While too many panels did the script readings or touched on topics fans have heard so many times before, so many unique and different panels gave fans something fresh this year. The outbreak that shut down Comic-Con has forced people to get creative and it’s worked. Yet Star Trek fans can still find something on their last day to be entertained by.

The event may just feature it’s best crop of panels yet. Ranging from Red Dwarf to the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, to Doctor Who and the Power Rangers; Sunday’s got something for all sci-fi fans. Don’t even debate that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shouldn’t be considered sci-fi to a degree, they only exist because of science gone array.

Also on Sunday, fans will get to see Nathan Fillion talk about his career. Not to mention books about Mars and everyone’s favorite invading alien, Zim. So with that let’s take a look at the panels you should be paying attention to for Sunday.

Here are some panels we think you’ll enjoy!

The Turtles film from the 1990s still holds up. From the costumes, the tone, the dialogue. It’s all still so utterly marvelous.

"First TMNT Film 30th Anniversary1:00 PM – 2:00 PMCelebrating the 30th Anniversary of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie presents a bit of history of the making of this iconic film with panel guests producer Kim Dawson, writer, and ex-offico producer Bobby Herbeck, and moderated by The Old Turtle Den’s creator Chris Castaneda.YouTube Link"

Who loves actual science? Some of you do! We think. In a fun little panel, members of JPL sit down to talk about the work that goes into sending things like rovers to Mars and the struggles of maintaining everything from millions of miles away.

Red Dwarf isn’t just one of Britain’s most beloved sci-fi series but the world at large. Running for over 30 years, the series is getting a streaming film for BritBox and features members of the upcoming film.

"Red Dwarf: The Promised Land4:00 PM – 5:00 PMChris Barrie (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider), Craig Charles (Coronation Street), Robert Llewellyn (MI: High), and creator/director Doug Naylor (Spitting Image) discuss all things Red Dwarf including the upcoming Red Dwarf: The Promised Land launching on BritBox July 26, in a Q&A moderated by Kyle Anderson (senior editor) from The Nerdist.YouTube Link"

Another British Sci-Fi series that fans of Star Trek tend to love is Doctor Who. Yet, after fifty years and 13 Doctors, the debate will now begin as to who is the best of the Doctors.

"Who’s the Best Doctor Who?4:00 PM – 5:00 PMFrom Gallifrey to the Gaslamp District, Whovians have long debated the best Doctor Who. This opinionated panel settles the argument. SD Who Con brings the lively discussion and ends in the result of a public vote by Who’s The Best podcast listeners over which of the 13 (or more) should take the title. Moderator Sandro Monetti (CNN International) is joined by Doctor Who fans Julie O’Malley (The Finder of Impossible Things), Kristi Schoeman (SD Who Con), Johny Dyer (Time Traveller’s (UN) LTD.), Karen Glover (Time Traveller’s (UN) LTD.), and River Alexandra Song (Time Traveller’s (UN) LTD.).YouTube Link"
