Unfortunately had to vote for none on all three choices.  

[habitualangel]

1. none
2. Merlin
3. Terra Nova

However another company is attempting to run a merlin con - I haven't a ticket because it is none of the main cast.....my point being I love merlin and terra nova (my new guilty pleasure) but to get me coming to a weekend con it would have to be main cast not someone that has appeared in a fleeting episode or 2 so I wouldn't buy a ticket until near the date of the con and as someone has already mentioned I doubt terra nova has the fanbase to warrant its own convention, unfortunately I don't do primeval which would be the most logical tie-in.

Will be interesting to see what new events do pop up in the future.

I voted:

• None of the above (as much as I love many of the things listed in this section, I'd probably not attend a con for them)
  
•    Star Wars (would depend on the guests though)
  
• Star Trek

I'd have loved to choose Red Dwarf too, I enjoyed Better Than Life and it would be good to have another one, though I thought there were issues with the having another one because of the official con?

I thought Star Trek was only posponed due to guest unavailability?

It was and then it got cancelled completely

I am suprised that The Walking Dead or Falling Skies hasnt done enough for a con i would attend them

I think SM are pretty sure how annoyed I am at no Walking Dead cons mentioned :/

[Myself205]

I think that Harry Potter hasn't been too successful as people (like me) wanted some bigger names.

I would like to see people from Terra Nova but I'm not sure if it has a large enough fanbase for it's own convention yet. Possibly a mixed event with Primeval? Add in Jurassic Park guests, and have a DinoFeast...or Conosaurus. I'll stop  

Brilliant idea!  

[elwebb]

I voted for Secret Circle, Harry Potter (no surprises there) and none of the above.

Glad to hear there is still some hope of another HP con in the future i was gutted when MM2 got cancelled

[ericsdonor]

I went for none, Merlin & Life on Mars

I'd really really love a Merlin con and I know quite a few of my friends and family would also be interested in this as well!!!!

Yes but it never had any guests announced the second time.

It can hardly be expected to sell large numbers without any guests.

None in all three too here - although I can totally see the logic in getting shows that are reasonably new/currently airing, I personally find things like Merlin, Secret Circle etc really meh. I'd much rather the previously mentioned crime based one (I know there are loads of threads kicking about for these shows), or some longer running series like The IT Crowd as a one off event rather than an annual thing

Oh god yes, an IT Crowd one would be stupedously amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sazzzy]

I did.. The Secret Circle
Harry Potter <3
and None of the Above!

[Flora2y5H]

I had to vote "none of the above" too. I am a big Supernatural fan (as you can see from my signature) so I would not say something against that but there are a quite a few SPN cons so I would prefer another convention.

What about some kind of  "Crime Con" with Castle / White Collar / Rizzoli & Isles / Sherlock etc guests? That would be a great one.

[Talie]

None of the above
Harry Potter
Supernatural

[Tinuviel]

Personally I would love a Babylon 5 con! Old I know but one of the best!

I too would love a Babylon 5 con!

Also a Blake's 7 con would be brilliant as well!

I agree with Black's 7, that would be awesome!!

Ditto.

Right now, the shows I wanted to see covered would be Dexter, Castle and The Walking Dead - maybe all in one con - called Splatterfest!

Would love to meet the Castle gang and the guys from White Collar, even thought I've only seen season one of the latter! I wonder if they're more likely to end up at one of the signing events though.

SUPERNATURAL SUPERNATURAL SUPERNATURAL!!!

I love Supernatural   If you get good guests.. guaranteed people will go! Supernatural has such a HUGE following in the UK.

I'd go to a Twilight summer ball too (assuming it'd be a 1 day thing like proms?)

Agreed with this, White Collar, Mentalist, Alphas, Burn Notice, etc
