San Diego Comic-Con: Part 3

Today I'm gonna talk a little bit about the panels at Con because really, isn't that what Con's all about?


Well, no, actually it's all about this...


But I have a lot of Panel pics I need to burn through so let's get on with it.

So this year all the panels started off with something new - a warning from the Bush administration saying that all of our questions to any panel would be screened! Check the bottom point on the screen here:


What the hell?? Con wouldn't be Con without autistics getting to the mic and asking William Shatner to sign their birth certificates. Well it must have worked, because there weren't any weird question-askers this year.

Um...except this guy...

This is the producer of Heroes, threatening to show us the season premier unless we could avoid yelling "woo!" when Hayden Panettiere came out:

He made us watch it. It sucked.

These are the Lost producers with Matthew Fox making fun of the Heroes people.


This panel created more questions than it answered, killed off a few of the participants, then took a six month break before coming back to confound us some more. I couldn't stop watching.

This is me outside, in line for the Battlestar panel. Outside because the line snaked around the top floor of the convention center, out onto the balcony and up some power lines.It didn't work out.

This is the Watchmen panel, which rocked.

That's Jackie-Earle Haley thanking Zack Snyder for giving him the opportunity to be known for something besides child molesting. Insane psychopath is a bit of a step up, really.


This is the line for the Oprah panel:

Zing!

And on that note, I'm going to sign off. Be sure to tune in for Part 4!



The Apes command you!
