MediaWest Con
May. 23rd, 2009 12:05 pm( It's an amazingly subdued con this year. )
Whoniverse-wise there are a lot of panels, but they're not all hopping. Too many are running aground on the base question; for instance, the question of "Where will Moffat take Doctor Who" was generally agreed to be "I don't know, but he keeps winning Hugos for the show, so I'm sure it'll be good." There's an upcoming panel on "will Captain Jack hit on anything?" and it's not going to take long for everyone to say "yes."
But I think the panels are going well - the Big Finish one was early and sparsely attended but people seemed to be happy. I hope my co-panelists were, because I had to keep reminding myself to STFU and let them get a word in edgewise! But most of the speaking was done by Big Finish itself - note to self: trailers and clips very good idea. Second note to self: double-check that you've actually clipped the Gallifreyan Buccaneer song and not the intro to it!
White Hart is having a sale on classic Who zines. Brotherhood 7, a multimedia with some Who and Torchwood looks good; I'm looking forward to reading my copy. But other than that, although Agent With Style advertises other Who & Torchwood stuff, all that seems to be for sale are the NCIS/Torchwood crossover and the Doctor/Rose fanzines that I got from Farpoint and an alternate universe Twood with no rift and no aliens which is all about Captain Jack's group marriage with Owen, Gwen, Toshiko, Ianto, and Rose.
Which is not my cuppa.
With no more panels to give and few on my must-see list, I'm going to take it easy - I have an exciting afternoon of napping, knitting, and reading ahead. And even with the sluggish Internet connection, I want to see if I can catch up on BF's latest 8 and Lucie adventure.
