Oh, dear! It seems Doctor Who’s famous TARDIS isn’t functioning properly. It arrived in San Diego for Comic-Con 2025 not by traveling through the Time Vortex, but in a big old truck! And in pieces!
Hopefully the reassembled TARDIS can be reactivated in time for San Diego Comic-Con. The Doctor Who UNIT’s Black Archive activation is set to open to the public at 10 am this coming Thursday. You’ll find the offsite activation along Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade.
Yes, I saw numerous crates marked BBC Studios unloading from the truck.

And I noticed with a bit of despair that there are only two TARDIS pieces in only one crate!
I hope this complex, living organism capable of traveling through time and space (stuck in the shape of a British police box) can be pieced together as easily as a book shelf from IKEA.

Visitors to the offsite would love to travel through space and time, I’m sure. But then, downtown San Diego every year during Comic-Con becomes its own peculiar world.
Is the Time Lord wandering about the city late this afternoon? One can already stumble upon a few unusual creatures…

Nice one! Sure the TARDIS interior will look amazing once its assembles. Cool to think it comes in so many boxes as well. They must be bigger on the inside than on the outside as well? 🙂

The Doctor Who activation is going to include tons of stuff from BBC Studios. A huge truck was full of crates. Looks like it’s going to be epic!
