Yessss. Though if Andrew Scott is there, better take a crowbar with you. Because if I manage to get my arms around him, someone will have to pry me off him again. Myyyy precioussss.

It was really nice to see all those people lining up wanting to ask him questions! With newbies to the con stage, it often can be uncomfortable when there is nobody at the microphone. And some very good questions as well. I did a few notes and intend to do a write-up yet.

Looking forward to it!

And I (now) always have a few random questions I keep in reserve at cons for situations where there might be no one at the microphone. I hate that for the guests and the fans.

One for Stargate peeps: if you could zat anyone, who would it be and why?

In general: if you were a Muppet, which one would you be and why?

More: If you could play any role? Dream job other than acting? Favorite guest star? Do you have a favorite film/book/play?

Etc. I've used them a few times.

Of course, if the guest is Christopher Judge, the questions are totally different! *grin*

Anderson! That's cool he was there. His character did such a turnabout in Season Three, no wonder he's a little overwhelmed with the fan reaction! I love that you have your arms wrapped around him. Glad he was OK with that!

I like him better with the beard. He's so much more interesting that way. I read somewhere that he had the beard in the initial, unaired pilot, but test audiences just assumed he was the villain because apparently beard=villain in many people's minds. So he shaved it when they made the "real" pilot.

I guess now that Anderson is really letting his freak, fanboy, and conspiracy-theorist flag fly, a beard is acceptable! LOL.

Darn, I wrote down some notes from his panel and now can't find the book they are in! I remember him saying that when he got asked for this con and saw that Benedict also was coming, he immediately agreed as he thought it can only be good. Before, he did not exactly know what to expect. He knew Benedict and Martin and also Moffat long before they made Sherlock, so again he said yes immediately when he got asked for the series, as he thought it can only be good. Of course he put it much more eloquent ;)

I really did like him, he seems like a nice guy. And I agree, the beard suits him. One question was about his action figure and he said it should come with a removable beard LOL

And yes, the story you wrote is also one he told in the panel. I don't understand those people though. It's a bit shallow to expect someone is the bad guy just because of the beard.
