- Some of the GREATEST questions in geekdom will be settled in the return of SYFY WIRE’s The Great Debate, pitting proud celebrity nerds against each other for hilariously epic debates. Who is cooler, Wolverine or Han Solo? Were the Smurfs delightful, or kinda terrifying? Would you rather have a Green Lantern ring or a Wizard Wand? We give you a paddle, YOU vote on the winners. So, judge wisely and remember…with great paddle comes great responsibility! (Plus it works as a pretty sweet fan for when things heat up.) And bring your own hot topics to present to the panel, so they can fight ‘em out. Let’s settle this inside!
SYFY and IDW Entertainment’s WYNONNA EARP
Saturday, October 5 (6-7PM, Hammerstein Ballroom)
- Don’t stop Earping! SYFY’s hit series and the 2018 People’s Choice Award Winner for Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Show is back and better than ever. Join show creator Emily Andras, with cast members Melanie Scrofano, Dominique Provost-Chalkley and Katherine Barrell as they look back at favorite moments in the series and discuss the upcoming fourth season. Hell yeah, Earpers!
Personally, it’s nice to see Wynonna Earp come back. Fans were extremely worried when production on season four was stalled due to improper funding on IDW’s part. That and the recent cancellation of Krypton, arguably one of the better-received shows on SYFY, made fans scared that Wynonna Earp wouldn’t be coming back. After plenty of campaigning, Wynonna Earp is back and making its way to NYCC 2019!
A girl with too many fandoms to count.
