  1. I was on the fence about going until I saw this, I would love to meet a Doctor! Finally making the con more worth it!

  2. I love Doctor Who but given that he played a rapist in Jessica Jones, is it really appropriate to have David Tennant as a guest at Comic Con? Especially with the #MeToo movement and that too many perves use comic con as an excuse to grope or harass women it feels distasteful.

  3. I regret spending $150 to meet Peter Capaldi when I could have meet David Tennent at SV Comic Con. Oh well I’m still coming to meet him.

  4. My friend and I went to SV Comic Con and signed up at a table there to view a free screening of the movie Bad Samaritan starring David Tennant. He showed up at the theatre and came up on the stage to talk to the audience before the screening. When the movie started to play, my friend got up to buy candy in the lobby and David Tennant was there. She had a conversation with him and he was super friendly and nice. We got some swag from the film at the screening. It was a great Con and seeing David Tennant was the best part.
