I’m sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Yes, the panel was awkward, yes, there wasn’t the same dynamic between them as we were used to during NYCC or Paley, or even IBG, but don’t forget they weren’t alone. I think Mitch and mostly WBD kinda killed the fun. I have many friends who were there, I think I’ve read all the reports of the dual photo op and the signings and they seem to be as goofy and playful and flirty with each other as they used to be during other cons.
Also, Gillian did a few cons on her own after that one where she gushed about David again.
To me, everything was fine at this time.
