Whatever the case may be, personally I'm still stoked to see the rest of the cast. Yeah it blows that she might not be there but things come up. There's still more than 2 weeks until the event so who knows how things might change in the next 15 days. When I look back I remember being sooo bummed that a friend wasn't able to make it to a party yet it was still a blast!!! So again I'm excited to see Nathan, Seamus, Molly, Jon, and the rest of the crew… Not to mention the possibility of finding out who the new Capt will be.

Not an issue as far as I'm concerned.

Last year was cool, with the reading and all, but SK was kinda forced into that.  Doing that, and the whole Q & A, she looked really uncomfortable, just as she did at the Paley thing.  Maybe the whole 'forum' thing is not her type of event so I don't see her contributing much anyway, beyond photo ops for fans.  I would rather have the rest of the cast there and it be a more comfortable vibe for everyone.

Don't get me wrong, one on one, she seems awesome with the fans, but this type of thing, with the rest of the cast and the public, she just looks very uncomfortable to me.  Sort of how Kristen Stewart always looks at her press events.

Very excited to get some details on the new season though, and bummed I couldn't get tickets this year.

I feel like it would be overwhelming for anyone. I mean your in a room filled with like thousands of people and they're all looking at you and its a lot for some people. And while I agree that she looked a little uncomfortable at the Paley event, she still seemed friendly and seemed to get more comfortable as the events went on (both w/ Paley and Comic Con).  I personally would be a little overwhelmed by the whole thing, and to your comment on how you don't see her contributing much during a form, I respectfully disagree. I feel like even though she doesn't speak a lot, when she does, she speaks very eliqauntly when she is asked a question or whatever. That's just my opinion.
