This morning, BF and I finally got here in time to see the movie trailers. Most of them were for insipid comedies, but I finally got to see the trailers for The Dark Knight and Hellboy 2. Hellboy 2 was directed by the same person who directed Pan's Labyrinth. The visuals were stunning (even if the main bad guy looked suspiciously like a Wraith from Stargate Atlantis but with better hair). Wanted had some spectacular stunt sequences, but I won't vouch for the writing or the acting.
The first panel I went to was a general Stargate Atlantis hurt/comfort discussion (with visual aids courtesy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wraithfodder's Sheppard and McKay action figures). Pretty much the same people stayed in the same room for the SGA season 5 spoiler panel. This post is spoiler free, but you can check out ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

After watching the gen competition vids, I went to a John Barrowman panel. I knew he'd come from a musical theater background, but this was the first time I got to hear him sing. He's amazingly good. One of the panel's hosts,jennetj, hosted a John Barrowman party in her room after dinner. She had 21 GB (yes, gigabytes) of John Barrowman music, video, and interview clips that we made a good dent in over the course of two hours.
The other panel I went to was a discussion on where season 2 of Heroes went wrong. Personally, I think that should've been a two hour panel, but the audience was remarkably in agreement on what worked and what didn't, and what changes we'd like to see in season 3.
I also made one more pass through the dealer room and succumbed to one last thing. There's an artist here I haven't seen before whose work I really like. His name is Nigel Sade. I bought one of his prints, and I can see myself buying a lot more stuff from this guy than I have wall space for.
Sadly, this is pretty much the end of the con. We'll probably make another pass through before we head back home tomorrow, but it's just about all over but the shouting. This is always the saddest part of MediaWest for me. It doesn't seem like three days have gone by, and I'm always sorry that it's over. I love this con.
