winter_elfD'oh! Total fail there! Sorry! I got distracted in trying (and failing) to get caught up on email and FLists that I totally spaced the last day of Comic Con's report! Whoops! So... uhm... here's Sunday – with lots of pictures from the Supernatural panel – though all from the jumbotron (my seat sucked and was way, way, way at the back of the room).
And ... the final day of con is here. Today is the day of the Supernatural panel – so I needed to get to the con as early as I could. As it turned out – even though I =tried= to get to the con by 8am ... the trolley was running slow – so I didn't make it there till 8:30. Which put me WAY back in line for the panel room line. But, as the room was empty and large, I knew my position would get me in anyway. I was just hoping for a little closer. The line moved quickly, and I made it into the room at 10am – in time for the 1st panel – which was Smallville. A lot of the actors were there – including Tom Welling (man, is he HOT). I didn't take any photos – as I had a seat way, way, way in the back. Tom Welling is very interesting. He was asked a lot of questions, and gave careful, and short answers. He's definitely NOT one to give anything away and carefully thinks about what he's telling fans. He's producing a new series now, I can imagine he's going to be super busy this last year of Smallville doing two different jobs at the same time.
Then, the Supernatural panel. I didn't try fighting for a new seat, though maybe I should have, considering who was there *sigh*. They did not announce the actors who would be appearing, so it was a guessing game – and actually – more than in previous years! Both Jenson & Jared, as well as Jim Beaver and Misha Collins! Kripke (who could NOT stop taking and answering everything), new show runner Sera Gamble and writer Ben Edlund.
I don't think they talked about any major news. I don't follow the SPN spoilers, so I have no idea. Kripke did answer one question about what he changed from his original idea in the finale. He said that he had about 80% of what he originally imagined as the end. What was different... well... There would have been less people surviving it.
They gave NO info on what/how Sam gets 'back' on the show. *bummer* Though time does pass. Jensen directed the 3rd episode (filmed first) about Bobby and that pesky soul question. They showed a short clip from it. Looks to be lots of fun.
After the panel, I headed downstairs for some final dealers room crawling for last minute swag and deals and the like. A few places I was hoping to find deals (the anime book sellers) didn't have any. :( Oh well. I hung out in the booksellers area a lot of the time trying to get the give away books. I did score a few. There are a number of publishing companies (Random House, Penguin, Del Rey, etc.) that have booths, but are not selling anything. Just have books for 'display'. What I call 'evil tempting'. They sometimes have a few advance copies of some of them they might give to some people. The rest are 'ads'. At the end of the con, they often will give all that they have away. You just gotta be in the right place at the right time - and you might score.
And that's the con. *sniff* Done for another year.
Swag: 3 sharpies w/ lanyards, 4 swag bags, 1 comic, 1 graphic novel, 3 t-shirts, 8 books, several chapter books, handful of postcards/bookmarks, 2 buttons
Supernatural panel members
Supernatural signing on the WB Jumbotron in the dealers room (as close as I could get) *sigh* It was an insane madhouse, and even though I tried, several times to work my way around the booth to the back, I kept being shoved away by security and could never find where/when the line started/ended.
