Salt Lake City hosted another edition of FanX last week, one of my personal favorite events during the year. Gratefully this year, there was some excellent representation from some of my favorite fandoms. Even better, some of those guests were from our favorite universe.
Rainn Wilson spoke during the event, while mostly about The Office, he mentioned that he will be returning shortly to the studio to film additional scenes as Harry Mudd. Karl Urban was the real McCoy during his panel, sharing that now was the right time to start a letter writing campaign if we want to see any more ST movies. However, he was quick to say that the studio wants to work with the cast, and the entire cast wants to work on this movie, it is just a lot of negotiation.
There were a lot of smartly dressed Starfleet officers in attendance from all eras, and I had a chance to chat with some of our friends from the Seventh Fleet. I had no problems hopping on the command chair replica they had brought with them, even though us Science Division folk prefer our stations over the big chair. All in all, an amazingly successful event and to be returning April 19-20th!
