SDCC The Lost Panel


When we first arrived on Saturday, we thought there was no absolute way we'd get into the LOST panel. In the past few years people have camped out the night before, and we saw these unfortunate souls on the way home on Friday. However, upon coming up to Hall H, it was actually not nearly as long as we feared so we got in line. Everyone was very excited, as you can see.

Matt and Kroze had a very particular reason to be happy, as we found out later on in the panel.

Then we all took turns making ugly Jackfaces.

SDCC Pictures from the Balcony

We got onto the interview balcony and saw a few stars come in and out for pictures. First up are a series of pictures from the Tron Legacy stars, including Olivia Wilde, Jeff Bridges, and Garrett Hedlund.

Next is director of Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, Lauren Montgomery.

Voice of Labella in Green Lantern and former Buffy the Vampire guest star, Juliet Landau!

SDCC Fringe Panel


Fringe had quite a fanbase at San Diego Comic Con this year, because not only was the line very long and the room completely full, but the fans were very much a part of the panel itself. The Fringe crew thought it would be fun to have a trivia game running, so that for every question a fan asked them, they asked a question of the audience. They seemed remarkably surprised every time a very enthusiastic fan screamed out the answer, faster than they had time to recognize it! The questions got progressively more difficult and detailed, yet the fans came through every time. That speaks more to the loyalty of their viewers than anything else at the panel, and the Fringe cast seemed very pleased.

Reviews

Book Review: The Lord of the Sands of Time

We go from the future and the past, one time stream to another, but the real issue is the continuation of humanity. Issui Ogawa has done a lovely job of addressing the ultimate destruction of humanity and the knowledge that the only way to stop it is by going back in time to change time. There is also the use of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to do the job for you.

DVD Review: The Middleman: The Complete Series

I have been surrounded by comics all of my life. My grandfather was a cartoonist during World War II. My family went to Comic-Con number zero. This has been a part of our lives. We read the western comics, the sci-fi comics, but most of all the superhero comics. So when I found out that The Middleman would be a series on ABC Famiily, I jumped at the chance to watch it. It turned out to be the best new series when it premiered, and I watched every show. It was everything that I wanted a modern superhero show to be, funny, Smart, heroic. All with a sense of self, and that which came before it. This was the new hero show.

CC09: Amanda Palmer at The Women’s Club


I am probably the worst person to write a show review as I get too lost in the music and the experience to bother writing down set lists or remembering specifics. But if any show doesn’t warrant a typical show review, this would be it.

CC09: Highly Anticipated MMORPG Aion

The upcoming and highly anticipated MMORPG from NCSoft is available for play at CC09, satisfying the curiosity of many addictive gamers attending the convention. I was able to fight my way through a crowd of antsy gamers and get my hands on a computer station to try the game out for myself. With just the half hour I was able to play around the graphically appeasing world of Aion, I was able to gather several details about its gameplay that many of us MMORPG fanatics have been dying to find out.
