Deep Space 2 members attended to the FACTS Fall 2019 Convention. Most went on Saterday, some went on Sunday, some went the entire weekend.
F.A.C.T.S. is the biggest science fiction, fantasy, anime & comics convention in the Benelux, since 2016 two times a year.
- a crowd favorite: the cosplay competition

- there were large screen screenings, Q&A sessions, chill out zones, grime sessions, and so much more
- artists workshops, cosplay workshops, tech workshops
Q&A
General remark about the Q&As: During this FACTS Con it was forbidden during all Q&As to take pictures or film. People who did, had a visit by security almost within a few seconds.
At conventions all actors talk about their work in the past, current and future. It is understandable they cannot speak about some future projects.
That is the reason we do not put all questions and answers here in this report. We respect the privacy of the actors/directors/producers who come to talk about their work.
We did not go to all Q&As. These are (very short) the ones we went to.
Q&A Christopher Lloyd
Christopher Lloyd talked about his work, most of all in "Back to the Future" and the "Adams Family".
At the end of his Q&A he did a "Great Scott" for us.
Q&A Christopher Lambert
Christopher Lambert talked about his work and future projects. He reminded us that living forever also means losing loved ones.
Q&A Kristofer Hivju
Kristofer Hivju talked about how he got his role in "Game of Thrones", what it was like to work in -30 degrees, and about his costume which weights 18 kilograms.
The next Comiccon in Belgium is in Brussels, February 22-23, 2020, Tour & Taxis, Brussels
