It's that Most Wonderful Time of the Year on the geek calendar! Yes, San Diego Comic-Con was in full swing this weekend and there was PLENTY of goodness on display from panels to announcements to trailers and all manner of fannish shenanigans! While the Fangirls were not in attendance in San Diego, we still found lots to talk about and squee over from what we did get to see online. We all had our favorite things - what were some of yours? (leave us a comment!)
Also - general not-SDCC related news, including other convention announcements and Doctor Who news (which, DW was not at SDCC, instead gearing up for their Worldwide Whirlwind Tour).
Non-SDCC News:
- Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill special event at Fan Expo Canada

- First official promo image of Elsa and Kristoff in Once
- "Weird" Al Yankovic's Mandatory Fun hits #1 on Billboard charts
- Pirates of the Caribbean 5 gets a release date for July 2017
- Doctor Who, Series 8 premiere "Deep Breath" to be shown in movie theaters around the world
- Hobbit director Peter Jackson still in consideration for directing an episode of Doctor Who
