MW countdown...

[graculus]

Counting down the days to MediaWest, but the panel program reminds me that there are panels where I'd lose the will to live should I venture in...

'Am I weird because I don't like slash?' Yes, next panel? ;)

Seriously, I really don't think I'm going to that many panels this year... nothing much leaps out.

You mean you don't want to listen to the Gen UNCLE BNF pointificate on how NS and IK are straaight because Vaughn and McCallum are????

:P

I went over when I saw your post and had a look. They did not select any of the panels I suggested, and they chose none of the controversial ones I knew of from anyone else, either-- and not even any of the interesting ones I'd noticed from the first list got in there. I read the whole list and thought "How dreadfully fucking dull."

I'm starting to feel somewhat better about not going. :-P

OMG!!!!!!

I thought you were joking about the "I don't like slash am I weird" panel...

What a load of shit! Is this like the anti slash con?? Geez. And sorry but why is there a Colombia shuttle panel??? Geez. Genners... give 'em an inch... :P

I am sooooo glad I don't waste my time going to this... Except I'd get to see more friends! :)

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?
