Comicon 24

I don't have any doubt that Patrick Stewart will make an excellent Macbeth...He's got a terrfic range as an actor and a voice born for the stage. At one time I would have done just about anything to meet him. (There's no shame any more in admitting you're a trekkie, right?) But then came along the London MCM Expo 2007. I know a lot of it was down to the organisers of the convention so "Boo" to them but that didn't stop me from being dreadfully disappointed with Mr. Stewart. Seemed to me that he was doing his best to avoid his fans. This photo kind of makes it look like he was signing autographs...Actually, what he was doing was putting his head down and trying not to make eye contact with anyone as the workers around him ordered us all to move out of the way and stop taking photos. (I don't listen well.) I'm really, really hoping that it was just an off day and if I ever get the chance to meet him again, he'll be as lovely and charming as everyone has said he is. Not that I could afford the time or money to get the chance to meet him again. I was lucky, I guess. Hundreds of people paid to get into this convention because they thought they'd get to meet him and hundreds were turned away disappointed. Guess I'm just more stubborn than most...
