Honestly, those panels are a nightmare when no one sets ground rules. I've seen moderators just let fans yell over each other about whether Naruto should have ended after Pain. My advice? Check if the panel description mentions a Q&A format or if they have a proven moderator. The good ones usually have someone who cuts off rants and keeps things moving. Otherwise, you're just watching a Twitter fight happen in real life. Why do we even go to these things if they're just echo chambers?

Schedules are more like suggestions anyway...
