Happy Saturday Night

Things are going well at Comic-Con, at least for me. That guy that got stabbed in the face with a pen in Hall H during the Captain America panel is probably not in agreement. I wasn’t there but I talked to a few people that were and apparently it was all over an arguement that started before the panel and escalated in a brawl over a seat. Seriously, people. That hall seats 6500, there were other seats to be had and now that guy will spend the rest of the con in the slammer. Not a smart move.
I do have lots and lots of photos but I’m honestly too tired to post any tonight. I’m hoping I’ll have sometime tomorrow, er, make that tonight as its after midnight when I’m writing this.
I will drop some info on you though. ***SPOILER ALERT ***
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
USA Executive Jeff Wachtel announced there will be a Burn Notice prequel starring and produced by Bruce Campbell detailing Sam Axe’s last mission and explaining how he came to be in Miami.
Psych will have a ton of great guest stars this season including Freddie Prinze, Jr., Adam Rodriguez, William DeVane, Carl Weathers, Nestor Carbonell, Chi McBride, Franco Potente, and C. Thomas Howell. During the panel Curt Smith from Tears For Fears sang “Shout” with Dulé Hill and James Roday.
The best overall panel (so far) has been The Big Bang Theory, hands down. Wil Wheaton led a sing-along of the show’s theme song with performers Bare Naked Ladies. Lots of things were discovered during the panel, like Kaley Cuoco being the “geekiest cast member” according to Wheaton, that Chuck Lorre co-wrote the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song, and that there won’t be a Comic-Con episode because the show is “an indoor cat” according to Chuck Lorre.
One of the biggest announcements was who will be playing Chuck Bartowski’s mom next season: none-other than Linda Hamilton. Nothing makes a geek happier to find out that Sarah Conner is playing your mom and Zach Levi (and the rest of the cast and crew) seemed stoked.
James Callis is sticking around for the rest of the season of Eureka. I’m happy about that! The show runners emphasized that they don’t want to change the world back, which personally I’m glad. I love the changes except one. It appears from the clip we saw that Zane is not only not with Jo but he’s now dating Zoe! Sort of creepy. We’ll have to see how that goes.
Major changes for Human Target. They have a new show runner borrowed from Chuck: Matthew Miller. Indira Varma (you may know her from HBO’s Rome) will be joining the cast as a series regular who buys the organization and becomes the boss. One other note of interest Chi McBride does a hilarious impersonation of William Shatner.
The premier of Nikita starring Maggie Q and Shane West was surprising good. I will definitely be watching that show!
Oh, and during dinner my friend Rani and I saw Neil Grayston of Eureka walk by. About 20 minutes later Josh Gates of Destination Truth and Colin Ferguson of Eureka came walking the other way. Colin was nice enough to say “Hi” to us which was a moment of geek happiness for me (and Rani too!)
Those are just some of the highlights, but seriously, I need to go to bed. I have to get up in the morning and do it all over again. The Smallville and Supernatural panels are tomorrow and I can’t miss that!
