The gigantic, internationally-known event has wrapped up, with thousands of people having attended, and the whole world’s talking about the big reveals and celebrity appearances. That’s right, GalaxyCon 2024 in Raleigh North Carolina was a blast.
In all seriousness, while the East Coast branch of Binary System Podcast was going to GalaxyCon, the West Coast branch of BSP was attending San Diego Comic-Con. We’ve got lots of photos of fabulous cosplay, tips for a fun convention experience (the “Activations” are not worth it, you have been warned), some concerns about the latest MCU casting (Kathryn is worried that Robert Downey Jr. may secretly be sick of yet another MCU acting job; Elizabeth shares the concern, but also feels that since he’s getting a dump truck full of cash for the gig he’s probably fine), some hopes for the future of the multiverse franchise (maybe we could get another Loki appearance? Maybe there’s a universe where Clintasha is actually a thing??!!), and a few feel-good stories about how awesome everyone was at both conventions.
In more surprising news, we actually found some time during all this convention madness to watch a few more episodes of Poker Face and Mayor of Kingstown. Elizabeth also finally finished watching the entire Star Trek: Discovery series, and she’s got an in-depth review. It was fine.
