Comic-Con 2008

Yes…the Slayerette I mentioned.

Oh man am I jealous. I haven’t gone in four years because the crowd and the expense wore me down.

You have pics of the Supernatural brothers on a panel. Please tell me they are going to do 47 more seasons. Please.

Anyway what did the Supernatural brothers talk about? Was even a panel about Supernatural?

EDIT: Also I have that same Green Lantern shirt as your wife.

Yes! We were walking the floor when one of my friends called to say she’d just met Felicia Day. I grinned and thanked her. Couple minutes later, I randomly bumped into her. She was incredibly nice. I told her I hoped she’d get re-animated in the next installment of Dr. Horrible, and her eyes lit up and she says “ohmigod I hope so too!” After getting the picture with her, she turns to me with a concerned look and says, “The flash didn’t go off. Check and make sure it came out all right.”

I mean, how awesome is that? She really loved meeting fans.

Yes, there was a Supernatural panel with them, the creator, and two writers. Fun, although it was clear that Jared Padalecki was pretty overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of people. (I think he missed the panel last year). Jensen Ackles was super-nice. I bumped into him on the way out of his signing, and even though it was clear he wanted to keep moving and avoid being mobbed, he still stopped for a quick handshake and a word. No time for a pic, though.

Kripke, the creator, said he plans to do five seasons and end it. It sounds like he has a definite ending in mind, and doesn’t want to fade into redundancy and mediocrity.

To further fuel your jealousy, they showed the first five minutes of the premiere of season 4. I won’t go into too much detail, but I will tell you this: Shirtless. That’s all. :slight_smile:

Kevin was awesome. Sad that I never had a chance to meet him. It’s funny, for all his self-deprecations about how he “isn’t an actor”, his panel appearances are just the best. His off-the-cuff stories are amazing. Compare to Zack Snyder, who shared a panel with him. Snyder is a terrific director, but he was dull and boring as a panel commentator. He stuttered a lot, gave very short, vague responses, and generally seemed like he really want to leave. Felt like Kevin was content to sit up there all afternoon and talk story.
