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!

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

Entertainment Weekly/SyFy Party Photos
I was invited to take part in the exclusive red carpet at Hotel Solamar for Entertainment Weekly's joint party with SyFy. It was quite the event with tons of celebrities wandering by flashing cameras and warmly chatting with myself and a few other online reporters who waved for their attention. I am working on getting the audio together because it was quite loud out there, but I do have some pictures of the celebs that I got to chat with so I thought I'd put them up for you lucky readers!
First up some Battlestar Galactica people! Edward James Olmos stopped by to talk.
Grace Park looked beautiful and was more than happy to chat next to her former co-star….
DVD Review: Darker Than Black Volume 6
The Darker Than Black saga comes to an end in Volume 6, but the story of the Contractors and the Syndicate is left open for more to come. The high drama is clear evidence that the Japanese take their Anime seriously. The imagery and plot stand out and reflect a very eastern mindset and general life philosophy.
DVD Review: Slayers the First Three Seasons
|
Slayers is based on a Light Novel and manga of the same name that premiered way back in 1995. The hand drawn animation is beautifully done and the English voice cast did a great job. An interesting bit of trivia is that almost the entire main cast went on to be in Pokemon when that show was brought over here in '98. Some are more noticeable than others and most of the time I couldn't help but add "Ash" when Gourry Gabriev (the second star of the show) talks. Gourry is voiced by Eric Stuart, who went on to play Brock and James. Manga Review: One Piece Volume 1, Romance Dawn “I’m gonna be the KING of the PIRATES!!!”

Why, it’s right where I left it…It’s yours if you can find it…but you’ll have to search the WHOLE WORLD!”. Now pirates from across the world are searching for the treasure that can make their dreams come true.

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. Comic-Con 2009: Pictures From Around the Booths Part II
More pictures from around the booths at the San Diego Comic-Con 2009. I found this booth particularly amusing, Star Trek themed perfumes. The fragrance Khaaann was exclusive to the Con, but it was the Red Shirt ad that I really loved; Red Shirt Cologne, Because Tomorrow May Never Come!
This display is HUGE! Several people could actually have fit in this cockpit.  SDCC Fringe Panel
Comic-Con 2009: Pictures From Around the Booths Part I
Book Review: The Lord of the Sands of TimeWe 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.
