Lucy Lawless had a one-woman appearance. She almost filled a large hall with about 2,000 people. I sat next to a costumed Gabrielle with a staff. Lawless worked the enthusiastic crowd very well. She said she would like to "pass on" Xena to a new generation by appearing in a new Xena in which a younger person plays Xena. She did not hold out any specific hope of this happening. She spoke seriously about climate change. When people credited Xena with changing their lives, she said that people who changed their lives deserve the credit, not the TV show, and that many people besides the actors deserve credit for the show. Besides Lawless, I saw Adam Savage of Mythbusters; Ioan Gruffud and David Warner of Hornblower; Malcolm McDowell and Warner again (Time After Time); Eve Myles, John Levene and others for Torchwood. Warner was the best, with dry, acid humor. Gruffud recalled that some American Hornblower fans sent him a ridiculously excessive birthday present; Gruffud wrote them asking them instead to give money to a charity in his name. Warner, who played a villain on Hornblower, remarked dryly, "That's what you get when you play the hero."
