True Blood at SDCC
The arrival of the "True Blood" cast to Ballroom 20 was met with loud applause and many fangirl screams, especially thanks to the fan favorite actor Alexander Skasgard being there. Also in attendance was Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Rutina Wesley, Michelle Forbes, Nelsan Ellis, Sam Trammell, Deborah Ann Woll, Alan Ball, and the writer of the original series Charlaine Harris. It was great to see such a full panel, but it also meant that not every actor could be as fully addressed as we'd like. There was so much to ask and very little time to do it in!

This is the decision that Coraline Jones has to make in Coraline, now available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight

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.
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.

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.
Interview and Movie Review for The Collector
Friday night was an event filled evening with a special screening of The Collector and preceded by an interview with Writer Patrick Melton, writer/director Marcus Dunstan, both involved with Feast and Saw IV, V VI, and the films star Josh Stewart.
I have to admit, as I did to them, that my agenda was to meet the men who put Henry Rollins in pink sweats (Feast). Patrick and Marcus admitted that this was actually a concession to the rating, as the script originally called for his pants to be torn off by the creatures and to be nude. Twice. They talked about his intensity and work ethic, how he showed up on time and prepared.
