Wow. That's honestly a panel topic--I thought you were joking! What's the point? The people who think that are going to say "yes", and then sit there agreeing with each other. The people who would say "no" probably won't go.
Right?
I've only been going to MW for three years...this will be the fourth. I have to say, I haven't been impressed with any of the panels during that time. I went to a bunch the first year, four or five the second year, and I think I peeked in on one--maybe two last year. I wasn't really impressed. This year sounds like I'll be popping my head in on a couple, then going off to find better things to do...
Honestly, for me the best discussions come from meeting people you only know online and talking with them, not from the organized panels. It seems like the same people run them all anyway, so there are no varied points of view...just the same people who volunteered way back when pontificating on their view of the show.
Maybe it used to be different in the past, but that's what I've seen in my time there. Or maybe some shows have better discussions than others?
