Crash Facepalm's Galactic Gaffes

Welcome, fellow space cadets and intergalactic enthusiasts! It's your favorite astronaut reporter, Crash Facepalm, reporting live from the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Convention. I'm here to bring you the latest news, gossip, and my own personal blunders from this epic event.

#NebulaNoNos

First off, let's talk about some of the biggest no-nos at the Nebula Awards ceremony last night. I don't know who thought it was a good idea to give Neil Gaiman a microphone after he won Best Novel, but he went on a 20-minute rant about his cats. Don't get me wrong, I love felines as much as the next guy, but come on Neil, we're here to celebrate sci-fi, not your kitty litter.

And then there was that awkward moment when George R.R. Martin tried to give a shout-out to all his fans, but accidentally said "Thanks to all my fiends" instead. We all know he's been working on The Winds of Winter for approximately 57 years, but maybe he needs to take a break and work on his enunciation.

#CosplayCraziness

The cosplay this year has been out of this world. I saw a group dressed up as the entire cast of Firefly, complete with a life-size Serenity spaceship. And then there was the guy who was dressed as a Dalek from Doctor Who, but accidentally walked into a wall and got stuck. It took three people to pry him loose.

But my personal favorite was the woman who came as Princess Leia from Star Wars, but had her hair done in the shape of a giant croissant. She called it the "Leia au Pain." I applaud her creativity and her pun game.

#PanelProblems

I attended a panel on time travel this afternoon, and things got a little weird. One of the panelists kept insisting that he was actually a time traveler himself, and that he had come back to this era to warn us about the dangers of rogue robots. Needless to say, the other panelists were a bit skeptical.

And then there was the moment when someone asked the panelists which fictional universe they would most like to visit. One person said Hogwarts, another said Middle
