WonderCon has come, gone, and left us a little sad. For some reason, the magic we felt last year was lacking this time around. Maybe it's because we're just plain tired of the stormtrooper costumes (even the weird Arthur Conan Doyle-stormtrooper hybrids. WTF?) Or maybe it's because the social ineptitude of the socially inept was on full display in room 2000. If the speaker wasn't someone they were interested in, they had no problem talking on the phone, or to each other, at full volume, regardless of the people who would have liked to have heard what JJ Abrams was saying about "Lost" THANK YOU VERY MUCH! (Here's something we were able to hear: One fan asked Abrams to settle an argument he'd had with his "Lost"-watching friends, "So. Is the island Jesus?" To which Abrams replied, "....Yes.")
