Nice to see him getting amongst it. Marina Sirtis came to at least one of our Conquests in Brisbane in the nineties. Minor nitpick - it's LeVar Burton. The opening credits of ST:TNG went to upper and lower case from about the fourth season, so that LeVar Burton's name could be written that way.

And whilst I can see how it could have been Lindelof's rewrites that were responsible for the distracting maiming, I'm not entirely convinced since he goes on to say that his research involved decidedly nonscientific speculation about what is, at most, a curious mystery. Anyhow, the panel sounds like it was good fun; hopefully a video can find its way onto the web.
