gigglestheblood | DW Panel

So. much. fun. I fucking loved it! The papers were so interesting! A few highlights:

Someone compared Davros to Bill O'Reilly. XD He was comparing Daleks to couch-potatoes/mindless human automotons and how the show portrayed this in Bad Wolf and The Parting of Ways. The paper was really fascinating even if it was really obvious in the episodes. Humans becoming mindless Daleks/automotons reminded me of the Toclafane, so I mentioned them and The Master because there were no mentions of The Master, or the second or third series really, and I felt like it had to be done. I kind of want to write a paper about Doctor/Master and present it at an undergrad panel next year. Either that or Strangers With Candy, which would probably be more interesting. Anyway,
The first person I talked to (who was one of the area chairs) pointed out that one of the perks in Torchwood was all the boy-kissing.
One of the papers talked about slash, even though it was kind of obvious that the guy didn't read slash, it was still awesome to hear a 'scholar' talk about it.
The whole thing was just really fucking awesome. I absolutely loved geeking out over Doctor Who with other people who knew what I was talking about. And I learned some new stuff about the fan driven DW productions and spin-offs which was super interesting.
Oh, and one of the panelists used this hil-AR-ious picture of Rusty when she started talking about him. I made a bit of a fool of myself and giggled over it. And later on I almost called him Rusty when I pointed out the Toclafane, but I stopped myself so I wouldn't look like a complete fool.

We also went to a Dracula panel, which was actually really boring. I'm tired of Dracula. And the papers just weren't that good, their readings either sucked, or had already been done before. I'm sure Haley will rant about it, at length, in her LJ.

Tomorrow the only things I'm really looking forward to is Haley's panel and this one paper about Life On Mars. Haley wants to stay till like, 10:00 p.m., so when Jasie and I don't have any interesting panels to go to we'll just go shopping.
