Stay classy, D*Con

Some choice quotes from Sunday's panels:

"Jonathan Frakes couldn't manually dock a bicycle" - Patrick Stewart, after telling us that a fan at another convention years past had commended Mr. Frakes for his supposed excellent spacecraft handling.

"He read very slowly...and she really liked it" - Mary McDonnell, in response to a fan's question about the parallels between Cmdr Adama and President Roslin's relationship and their use of books.

"[He was t]he Smithers to his Burns" - Alessandro Juliani, attempting to explain the connection Gaeta had with Baltar during the transition to New Caprica.

That first one made me giggle.

Patrick Stewart had a great sense of humor. Quite dry, self-depreciative, and very humble. I could have listened to him work the crowd for another hour.

those are excellent! I so wish I had been able to go, the text messages alone were hilarious!

You ARE coming next year. You'll wear your dress, we'll giggle at the rabid fangirls, and we'll right wrongs. Or something like that.

aye, aye, sir! I will dutifully start a Dcon fund as soon as I get back from family wedding madness!

Yes! One of us! One of us! :)

BTW - I've already reserved my room for next year. Apparently one of the hotels is already sold out at the Con rate. Craziness!

*lol* Poor Jonathan Frakes... I love these quotes. (Also, your icon.)

Heh. Thanks. Number One got hit with the smackdown.

Poor Number One. He just wants his captain to love him. All night long.

*grin* You know, I don't think I ever shipped anyone on Next Gen. Maybe Picard and Q if pressed, but everyone else seemed sort of ...asexual.

Don't get me started on DS9, though. That ship sails hard and fast.
