Yes. I’m just now getting around to processing the 2010 San Diego Comic Con. It was July 22-25 and was four day fanboy squee-fest, five if you count Preview Night. I love Comic Con because of all of the costumes. While looking at fun masked people, there were other things that caught my attention.
[TV SHOWS]
The announcement that excited me the most is that Ed Quinn would be returning to Eureka. I saw an article on it but other than that, I can’t verify it. It’s not even on his IMDB page. The other Eureka announcement that made me happy was that Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day would be make cameos this season. There was also lots of buzz about the Eureka/ Warehouse 13 crossover episodes featuring Allison Scagliotti and Neil Grayston. It aired last week and was a lot of fun. I am also always amused that Syfy sets up Eureka‘s Cafe Diem at Comic-Con every year. EUREKA GOT A FIFTH SEASON BY THE WAY! …and we will be getting Christmas specials from both Eureka and Warehouse 13.
The next best TV announcement was that AMC is doing a WALKING DEAD TV show! I saw footage from the booth at Comic Con and I think this will be one of the best new shows on TV. I’ve been aching for something exciting and different since we can’t get anything like Star Trek on TV anymore. It’s extremely exciting that we will get zombies EVERY WEEK! The Walking Dead premieres in October this year.
The creators of Burn Notice will be making a prequel movie starring Bruce Campbell. I’m not sure how this came to be but I’ll watch it. It’s Bruce Campbell. Check out Bruce taking about it at Comic Con.
I tried to avoid the spoiler that Linda Hamilton will be Chuck’s mom this season. The news was everywhere so I gave up. I still don’t think that this was any reason to kill of Scott Bakula as Chuck’s mom. On a sexy note, the Isaiah “Old Spice Guy” Mustafah will be making an appearance on Chuck this season. With him and Brandon Routh, I’m gonna be happy girl EVERY Monday night. Chuck premieres Monday, September 20th.
There were also a lot of Dexter teasers and trailers. All of them can be seen on the Showtime website. This trailer is the most telling. I can’t wait for this season to start because I want to know how they are going to handle the fall out from last season. It looks like it could be the end of the road for our serial killer hero. Dexter premieres Sunday, September 26th.
[MOVIES]
Tron gets everyone excited. A new trailer was released at Comic Con. If you haven’t seen it, it is below. We got to see more of the world and more of the HOT costumes!
I wasn’t excited about the Thor movie until I saw the trailer. I saw a really long high quality trailer that I’ll share with you here. It’s hard to believe that Chris Hemsworth played Kirk’s daddy just a year ago. The Infinity Gaunlet was revealed in a case at Comic Con and will be seen in the Thor movie. I’m a little excited because The Infinity Gauntlet is the first comic books that I’ve ever read! I still have a six book set.
Twitter exploded when Joss Whedon announced that he will be writing and directing The Avengers movie. Ryan Reynolds got major geek cred for being able to recite The Green Lantern Oath on demand. I have to admit, it was kinda sexy. I’ve always liked him…. even in Blade: Trinity.
I believe I am the only person on the planet that’s excited about the new Resident Evil movie. There was not really squeeing going on about that. Resident Evil: Afterlife will open on September 10th and I’m looking forward to look at some serious ass-kicking. It’s going to be in 3D and IMAX!
