Spent the Apollo 11 50th anniversary listening to an actual Apollo engineer, Lovell Stoddard, discuss his work on the command module heat shield (he was presented with a piece of surviving heat shield from the automated flight of Apollo 4). Also on hand was Planetary Society radio host Mat Kaplan to talk about our future in space.

From the JAWS 50th anniversary panel in Ballroom 6. Jules and I got front row seating.

 

No cast members from the movie were present, but moderator Mark Atkinson was in full Quint mode, along with Chris Gore (“Attack of the Show”), Steph Cannon (writer/film critic), author Patrick Jankiewicz (“The Jaws Companion”) and literal world record holding Jaws collector uber fan Chris Kizka, who showed off some of his latest acquisitions from the con, with a slideshow of his Jaws memories.

 

JAWS screenwriter Carl Gottlieb gave a prerecorded video message (which glitched out twice—“He ate the light”), and moderator Mark Atkinson showed his video from Martha’s Vineyard

 

They gave away “I Survived the Jaws 50th Anniversary Panel” t-shirts to those at the Q&A, including a devoted mother who asked for her too-shy little boy, who first saw Jaws at a very young age in hospital when he underwent heart surgery.

 

All in all, it was a great celebration of "JAWS" fandom.

Star Trek advertisement at the convention center (I tried to get a shot of "Alien Romulus" but the screen changed as I took the shot). Three of those shows are no longer running ("Lower Decks," "Discovery" and "Picard"). Very foolish of Paramount+ to cut "Prodigy" loose; it's my favorite of the bunch (and it's currently on Netflix!).
