Quick summary: http://kalichan.livejournal.com/147785.html

Off the top of my head:

- Usual stuff about how Gwen and Jack love each other but Gwen really needs someone like Rhys and Jack respects that followed by stuff about how Jack and Ianto's relationship is mostly physical -- although this was paired with earlier remarks about how into Jack, Ianto is so it seemed like a tonal quality issue as opposed to a "is it just sex?" issue.

- Someone asked what Ianto would do if Jack broke his heart. GDL said that it might be teh last straw considering "what happened with his last girlfriend."

- When asked about why people didn't film stuff in Cardiff until recently, GDL reminds us ther was nothing in Cardiff until recently.

- Adam kept coming up. He loves dark!Ianto and feels that Adam didn't just make that stuff up but that everyone has that sort of darkness in him and Adam was just playing on that.

- Hilarious story came up from the guy who was Tommy in To the Last Man -- that episode and Adam were shot at the same time. Which means Tosh's two bedroom scenes with men were done back to back, and there was much hi-fiving and sleezy jokes about it at the time.

- In the middle of telling some story or other GDL made this awful face and then explained that his ass had twinged. Hilarity ensued. He tried to explain but it all started sounding more and more obscene as he searched desperately for the word "sciatica" -- eventually all of that became clear and he said, "All right, none of you run to the Internet and post Gareth is totally Barrowman's bitch."

- On and on about how "Into the lift, eye candy" is his favorite line in TW ever -- he does a very good imitation of Marsters on that, and it's a little eerie.

- He was ridiculously gracious in the face of a lot of stuff that was either tacky and horrible (a rant on bad fan behavior later) or very moving and sort of overwhelming for the size of the panel.

- He looked great. I don't want to hear anything about pies. He looked really buff and not skinny and not like a starving actor kid and it was good.

- Apparently Countrycide was even creepy to film than to watch and Naoko Mori and GDL wound up acidentally headbutting each other at one point.

- Dude fro TtLM talked about working with Simm when he was 12 or 13 and about what a fucking maniac the guy was and how it was totally awesome. The audience was sort of desperately silent in a way that seemed to agree.

Much more later including my complete tirade about a very small subset of fan behavior at this one that I thought was ENTIRELY egregious.
