2022 review
A little late but there it is! The 2022 review. The year was full with conventions, very little fanmail returns (not because lack of trying though) Lots of new shows discovered. But lets start with the conventions. What a thrill it was. After the Covid lockdowns 2022 was finally convention year! 2022 was my convention record.
CONVENTIONS
Dutch Comic Con Spring Meeting Colin O'Donoghue again was absolutely amazing after so many years! This time in my own country and not Paris.
German Comic Con Spring This may or may not be my favorite of the year. Its a hard pick between this 1 and the Winter edition. The Vikings cast is always the best and the sweetest. They are all just so, so nice! Also an amazing opportunity for me to meet some of The Witcher cast and Alyssa Milano (who was my teenage idol)
Magic Con The most disappointing con of the year. I was suppose to meet Miranda Otto and Aidan Turner (long time con dreams/wishes of mine) but both cancelled. But I had a lot of fun with friends and I got to meet some of The Rings of Powers cast.
German Vikings Con What a blast! The sweetest cast of all time together at 1 convention and meeting George Blagden after being on my wishlist for such a long time wow!
Dutch Comic Con Winter Only met Stephen Amell and Jenna Coleman at this convention. Stephen Amell was awesome. Did a sweet hug photo and his panel was fun. Jenna was nice and seemed more relaxed then at other cons.
German Comic Con Winter Again the Vikings making my convention for me. Especially Clive Standen en Jordan Patrick Smith.. they are so, so lovely! Leo Suter from Vikings: Valhalla was pretty amazing as well and since Vikings: Valhalla is my current obsession show it was again an amazing opportunity.
These are just the actors I named but I had so many great meetings in 2022. In 2023 I sadly can’t do as many cons as I would like to.
FANMAIL
2022 was a disaster year for fanmail. The worst of all time. But I got a few nice returns: Henry Cavill (pre-signed The Witcher photo), Carrie Coon, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Xander Berkeley, Leo Suter, Charlie Vickers and Taylor Hickson.
BEST TV OF 2022
• The Rings of Power, sorry for all the haters out there. No it wasn’t even close to the master of piece of The Lord of The Rings. But I really loved the show and for sure much better then The Hobbit. • Vikings: Valhalla, I’m kinda obsessed with this show. I love the cast, the music, the story.. just everything about it. • The Handmaids Tale Season 5, I love every season of the show. It just always amazed me. The acting, the story. • 1899, Kinda sad it got cancelled. It had me intrigued for sure. Bummer that I will never know the end of it. • The Sandman, love this weird, dark fantasy show. Very happy it’s renewed.
