Guests immersed themselves into the world of The Last Ship—TNT’s hit new post-apocalyptic series about the crew of a Navy destroyer searching for the cure to a global pandemic. Guests ventured through the similarly themed Science Lab, where footage from the show was viewed, practiced their laser-tag skills in the Laser Maze targeting intruders who threaten the cure. For a select group, refuge was taken in the TNT-hosted VIP Hangar Bay Lounge. If you covered the event as press, you were granted quick access to the party. Others had to wait in a long line.
Celebrities in attendance included Nina Dobrev (Vampire Diaries), Paul Wesley (Vampire Diaries), Shane West (Salem), Nathan Fillion (Castle), Skrillex (musician), Travis Van Winkle (The Last Ship), Julie Benz (Defiance), Grant Bowler (Defiance), Lucas Till (X-Men), Charles Michael David (The Originals), Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob), Luke Barnett (The Amityville Haunting),, Phoebe Tonkin (The Originals), Keahu Kahuaniui (Teen Wolf), Maitland Ward (Girl Meets World), Genesis Rodriguez (Man on a Ledge), and many more
