All Shall Love Me and Despair

Right, first of all here's a panel that Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and Sue Vertue did for Nerd HQ after the official Sherlock panel. There are some references to ACD canon characters/events as relevant for S3, but no real spoilers otherwise:



Also, the titles of the three episodes ( have been confirmed: )

Then here's something from the official Sherlock panel that might disappear again - they showed a clip of S3E2! No video, but someone uploaded an audio recording of it to Youtube, and here is a transcript. For those spoiler-free who know which ACD story the S3E2 title was inspired by, you know about the new character and the significant event taking place in this clip, so you should be safe listening/reading. The scene is mostly John and Sherlock and just from the audio I can say OMGOMGOMG IT IS SO GOOD AND FUNNY AND AWWW AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS SCENE!!!!

When is it S3 airtime yet?!

ARGH! I was almost finished with putting together a Hobbit update post, when LJ suddenly sent me to the polls page - no idea how I landed there - and when I returned and hit "restore from saved draft", it went back to the version which only had the introductory sentences! So my apologies, but I will not redo the whole long thing again, and instead point you to the following sources which are currently covering The Hobbit at San Diego Comic Con:

TheOneRing.net as well as the Facebook Pages of Weta Workshop, Peter Jackson, and The Hobbit.

Attention Tolkien fans in the New York City area! We are excited to announce that TheOneRing.net will be hosting an exclusive, private party in NYC on Friday October 14th, during the New York Comic-Con. Tickets for the event will go on sale in a couple of weeks; meanwhile, save the date and we hope you can join us in New York! For more information about the New York Comic-Con (NYCC) check out their official website. [NYCC]


Will have to see if I should/can go, once there is more info - though the tentatively planned Sherlock fan meetup will probably be on Friday too. Of course if this is only a party, I'm less interested than if they have some Hobbit panel or such as part of the event. We'll see. :)




ETA: OMG Mark Hamill is among the guests at NYCC! And Jewel Staite, though of course I got her autograph several times already. I have Mark's too - a gift from serenitysangel and the Queen of Evil, if I remember correctly :) - but it is always nice to get one in person. Ah, we'll see how things work out. Would be nice, but it's not a biggie if I don't get to go.

You may already have heard about the Torchwood convention The Hub taking place Friday 17th - Sunday 19th of October 2008 at The Park Inn Hotel, Northampton. What's not on their website yet, but has just been confirmed on John's official Yahoogroup by his webmaster, is that John will be one of the guests! Which days he'll be there isn't certain yet, but I thought you'd like to know so you can keep an eye out for more info. :) Too bad that's shortly after RingCon!

Still have to watch the S2 finale... *gulp*

What the *bleep* is up with LJ please, not loading pages or only after the gazillionth try?! This is the second time in a week, and no it's not IE (same in Firefox) or my internect connection (I can reach other websites just fine)!

*stab stabbity stab*

*takes deep breath*



Anyway - look what txvoodoo found!!! :D





More hi-res pics from yesterday's Joseph afterparty at the Sparklies Gallery - there's some Lee and Keith too, serenitysangel! ;)


*copies the text of this entry because the post probably won't go through until the gazillionth try* Gosh, on the first try! /sarcasm



ETA: Weta does Doctor Who collectibles!!!


ETA2: For those going to LFCC - there are now tickets available for Dom photo sessions on the Saturday! ETA: And Sunday!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! Sean will be back, and also Morena - and *drum roll* Adam Baldwin! Now I hope no one will have to cancel due to work commitments... and that serenitysangel will get through early on Tuesday so we get our tickets - I have a feeling with Adam coming, they'll go like hot cakes! *crosses everything crossable and holds thumps tightly*

*bounces on the sofa, still squeeing*

Whee, "Lord of the Rings": Popular Culture in Global Context has arrived!!! *bounce* The Contents look VERY interesting! I glanced at the "Tolkien Dirty" chapter briefly, and I'm afraid it only touches on fan fic (slash) a little (the Library of Moria is mentioned), it's mostly about porn films like "Lord of the G-Strings". I think I know what I'll be doing this weekend! :D


ETA: Oh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! Aaaaaaargh I would LOVE to do a Lost convention (and it's shortly before my birthday too, AND at the Thistle, which I know from Serenity Cubed), but I might go to Serenity: Infinity in September, depending on the guests... OMG who knows, they might even get Daniel... However, I've never heard of Celeb Events, does anyone know them, are they for real and good?
