Burning your house down is pretty much your only option now.

Why, a kiss from this lovely lady, of course!

Cumberbatch sneak attack cuteness for poor @Raylenth

Pleasant surprise checking in and seeing spider cuteness. Apart from your last one @Chris1970. You can go sit in a corner and think about what you did.

Seems like somebody needs a visit from Lucas the Adorable Spider.

I'm nicer than @wjbleming

Peter capaldi cuteness for you

Can you quit with all the spider pictures. You're giving me the creeps! Halloween is next week

Not enough words to say how grateful I am that Jason Isaacs was booked as guest. Thank you ever so much. An absolute dream come true to meet. His talk was entertaining and a joy to watch. Really lovely and genuine to talk to. He was really blown away when he found out how long I had been trying to meet him for (since Event Horizon). He was really moved by our conversation and my art gift. He asked me to meet him again which I have never had another guest do. My two photos are awesome. Couldn't be happier with them. I managed the quick change between the two photos much to the amusement of the crew and Jason. Really over the moon. Well worth the 21+ years wait. Thank you ever so much. I really hope he returns to another event.

Can we just get all the doctors from Tom to Jodie? I'd pay anything for that group photo op

Omg! He's adorable!! I want one! And I don't like spiders!

Yes Group photo op!

Don't know if Tobey Maguire would be interested? Would be great to meet a Spider-Man!

I played nice. Despite the screaming in my head.

So then David comes as well

Pros: First convention (not just Trek but full stop) I've ever attended and probably one of the most amazing weekends of my life. I think what made it so great was everyone working there was a fan, so all the crew shared the enthusiasm for Star Trek that we all feel. Everyone was really helpful, the guests were lively and (mostly) very friendly and approachable. I am rather socially awkward and this made it much easier for me. Autograph queues were well managed and I got most of the guests I really wanted(I was a commander so didn't have to VQ, so can't comment on that aspect). Really enjoyed the talks. Also pleased that there was a balance of guests from different shows and I hope this continues - Discovery clearly has its fans but wouldn't want to see it become Destination: Discovery to the exclusion of other Treks. Cons: Really not many, at least to do with the event itself (the NEC get a black mark for the repeated bag checks on Friday though. Goodness, four times before I got in). A couple of minor points though, really suggestions for next time more than anything. Spent quite a while queueing for autograph tokens, and with no cashpoints at the NEC I'd imagine many people did. It should really be possible to buy them online in advance and maybe then get them in your pack when you register? Would save everyone a lot of time. Secondly, for the same reason, have more card machines at the official merchanise table. Only other thing I'd say is if Nana Visitor and Rene Auberjonis come back another year and do a talk, give them a larger stage! My word that one was packed! But I had a great time, thanks to everyone involved.

He has been appearing at a lot of conventions and film screenings in America recently. I hope he can come to a Showmasters event too.

I call cheating on this one! You are not allowed to use your gif powers to sneakily satisfy your own gif needs

Ok, I will join in with the gif love. This is for @VikingGrrrl

Thank you kind lady

The Sontaran Experiment- A pretty decent two part story. The supporting characters aren't really anything special. The regulars are good, and the dialogue is ok. The main reason to watch this story is for the villain. This proves again that Sontarans are more effective when you just see what one of them is capable of doing (Dalek is another story which perfectly illustrates this idea). Styre is a brilliant villain. As it is very short, this story moves along just fine, and the pacing is never an issue. Overall- 6/10.

Brilliant

That would be amazing!

Who did you speak to? If you are sure you are in the right you need to try and speak to someone as high up as possible. Of course, as Raylenth pointed out above, it is a weekend event and Nichelle was back on the Sunday, so the opportunity was there for you to get what you were owed. That sounds like it was very much his mistake and not something that he should necessarily expect to have rectified.

As well as Georgia's dad.

Good to see Fred still looking spry!

Yes, these two points I heartily agree with and can't believe I forgot to put in my Pro's. Thanks SHowmasters for getting this done so early. It REALLY helped us plan as with my partner's wheelchair it isn't possible to dash between activities. The ticket sales still being available was great too. I bought a Fred Haise one last minute when I had a last minute opening up of enough money for it so to be able to do it quickly without having to queue at the sales desk was brilliant. Thank you.

I'm so glad you had a great time. I had hoped you would. Really sorry I didn't get to meet you although I thought that was you asking a question at Jeri's panel but you've just confirmed it so I did see you at least. hope this is the first of many fun Star Trek events for you!

All pros for me. It was a busy weekend for me personally so I could only do the Sunday. Took a train from London, arrived 10:35. Through the door 10:45. Realised that I could do the Rapp/Cruz duo photoshoot. Went online, paid for it through Eventbrite and started queuing with ticket at 10:50 (I saw the queue for on the day photoshoots and saw it was long - but I must stress how quick and easier it is to do it online). Had photos with most of the Discovery season two cast (Sonequa/Isaac, Wiseman, Latif) - missed out on Doug Jones so hope he returns in 2019 . Saw dealers, displays and museum in between shoots. Caught the 13:00 train back to London helping me to arrive early enough to complete my other weekend chores and chill. I achieved all that because: 1. The schedules were published early 2. Eventbrite photoshoots tickets still available up to point of scheduled shoot time 3. Lots of space...lots and lots of it 4. Everything ran on time I'll definitely go to the 2019 show - haven't met George Take yet but hope to see the new season two cast members there too.

Since it is ending this year it would be nice to mark the passing of Still Game with any cast members. I keep saying Showmasters should look at making this show more “local.” It is surely easier to get guests that live in Scotland. You’d get plenty more on the gate with them too given how massively popular the show is.

Oooh good one!

Or Robert Carlyle, Robbie Coltrane

Denise Richards would be amazing
