Our local sci-fi and comic convention is going on hiatus this year, so Baboon Girl and I are trying to decide where to go. There are two Doctor-centric conventions nearby. Timegate in Atlanta and Con Kastaborous in Huntsville, AL. Timegate is going to have the actress who plays Missy and Kaye Manning who played the third Doctor's COmpanion, Jo Grant. Con Kastaborous is going to have Paul McGann, the 8th Doctor from the 90s movie and Eric ROberts, the Master from that movie.
WHich one do we go to? Baboon Girl and I are already getting out 12th Doctor and Clara costumes reaady!

My personal choice, I'd love to meet Paul McGann -- don't give a damn about Roberts. After that little short with McGann that leads to the eventual turn into the War Doctor...yeah, I'd rater meet him than that chick who's playing Missy.

That's what my daughter is leaning towards, too. She wants to meet the 8th Doctor. When I first told her about Missy, though, she was like "Aaaagh!! I can't decide!"
If I met Eric Roberts, I'd want to try and get him to say, "Charliiiieee!!! Theyy took my thuuuumbb!!!!"

i'd wouldn't mind getting a gander at mcgann. he strikes me as an impressive guy. eric roberts is the reason i didn't watch the dr. who movie when it aired! for me, the quality of anything he is paid to appear in is highly suspect. well, except for 'best of the best', which is a masterpiece

In an interview, Eric Roberts said that when he was nominated for an Academy Award for the Runaway Train and lost it to Don Amiche, it told him that quantity was more important than quality. So he basically does anything that crosses his desk. He's done over 100 movies!

I liked the 8th Doctor's movie. The Master was silly but I blame it on the writers and the costume designer, not on Eric Roberts. I had a crush on Chang until I found out that he's supposed to be a guy.
I like Missy, but all the extra stuff they do (interviews while she's in character, extra clips on youtube) tend to go overboard and she starts coming off as a caricature. I still prefer Simms' version cuz he shoots lasers from his hands (artron energy, they say, but whatevs.)

He was basically burning up his life force when he was shooting blasts and jumping around like the Hulk.
Some fans say they aren't too crazy about the psycho Masters they've had in nu-who and miss the evil mastermind of times past.
