The panel was A LOT of fun. Great turnout and some terrific questions. I was actually sad to see it end.
From there, we headed for a cast dinner at Nobu where, it turns out, we were seated right behind the gang from Dr. Who, enjoying their own cast dinner. Bigtime Whovian Jodelle Ferland got to meet The Doctor, Peter Capaldi, who couldn’t have been nicer, even taking the time to sign her TARDIS backpack.

And I got a chance to exchange hello’s with the brilliant Steven Moffat – jet-lagged, post double-panel (Dr. Who and Sherlock), but every so gracious.
And that was that. Tomorrow, I think Akemi and I are going to try to squeeze in a couple’s massage before lunch, then it’s more press, another autograph signing, more press, a final cast dinner, and parties. I’m going to try to squeeze in some t-shirt purchases to boot!
