SPOILER WARNING!!! Some of the posts below contain mild to moderate spoilers based on the trailer shown at the San Diego Comic Convention!

OK, so there's really nothing to report yet other than I had set my alarm for 5am but woke at 4:30 because how could I sleep? I'm gonna see the BDHs today!!! I'm @ SFO now waiting for my flight to leave and I just wanted to log on and see if I can post from this fancy Palm handheld computer-type-thingy. Someone respond to this so I know if it worked...

And for those of you around the world, its now about 10:00 AM EasternTime, that's 7:00 AM PacificTime in SanDiego, on July 25th 2004.

Met up with DVDGuy Jeremy near the front of the line to get into the room, after having plastered the popular freebies table with 11th Hour's great flyers. Grumpy's Jayne hat and the Serenity patches (from Gwen) soon attracted a modest group of fellow browncoats. We made it into the center/front (3-5 rows back) and are now sitting through a 'riding the bullet' panel. It says something of my fellow browncoats' dedication that they are all willing to sit through 2 and 1/2 hours of stuff like The Seed of Chucky just to have a good seat when our BDHs show up.

More soon...

Just a quick update:
ROOM WAS PACKED! (other panels 1/4 full - 1/3 max)
Not much real news but it was great to see the crew all in one place
TRAILER WAS AWESOME! (they showed it twice once @ the beginning, once @ the end)
| was SECOND in line for the right hand Q&A microphone, then they announced they would ONLY use the LEFT hand Q&A microphone!!! By the time we got across to the other side of the hall I was far enough back that when Q&A ended I WAS ONE PERSON AWAY FROM THE MIC!!! =(
The autograph line was full by 11am so MOH and I are watching the unaired (and unleaked) Wonderfall eps. =)

I JUST got back from the San Diego Comic Con, where Joss and the whole cast of Firefly showed us the very first look at the new movie.

WOW and OH MY GOD are the words that come to mind!!

I have a million things to say, so I KNOW I'm going to miss or mess up some stuff. Any fellow brown coats that where there, please add to this or correct anything I goof up.

This review contains SPOILERS of the movie, so please read at your own risk.

1) I remember the crew robbing a bank. They walk in, and Mal says something like I don’t want to see any guns, or there will be some violence. The next scene and older man comes out from behind a desk (I think) with a shotgun, and Mal spins around and pulls his gun on him. There is a part where Zoë shoots out a TV camera, and when Mal and Zoë open the safe, Zoë makes a comment on how they can retire from all the crime stuff now. (I think she was being funny, there wasn't a lot of money there)

2) A scene where River is screaming, some gizmo on her head (She looks to have been caught by the alliance. (Like we didn’t know that was going to happen!)

3) A gun fight scene where a Reaver (I belive...moved a little fast) looks to grab at someone, and Mal shoots it.

4) A case outside on the hovercraft, guns being fired

5) River up on a ceiling, hold on with 1 hand to a something (knife maybe) while here legs and other arm support her up there. VERY cool looking pose as she looks to be out of breath and was bleeding from her head

6) a shot of Serenity flying from right to left , pink lasers firing at her, and then the unfocused zoom moves to the right to see a ship firing again.

7) Several quick shots of Inra in a building (the academy perhaps) a black gentleman walks up to her. If they where talking, it wasn’t in the trailer

8) A man shots at river, a scene where she falls down. I'm not sure if she was hit, I didn't see any blood.

9) A shot while rivers on the ground, arms spread out. She looks scared and she says "REAVERS!"

10) a scene where a ships rises into view, followed by a shot of what looked to me Simon and river coming out of a vent, or window.

11) a shot of wash on the bridge, saying something like this might be a bumpy ride, or this is going to be a bumpy ride,..something like that. I notice something different about the Bridge, but can't put a finger on it. The shot went by fast. I THINK it was the extra monitors Alan talked about in a interview a week or to back.

I know I've missed some stuff, please anyone that was there add to this! These scenes are out of order. I just typed them as I remembered them.

yes, the shot where Wash said something like "this is going to be a bumpy ride, the Bridge looked a LITTLE different. The shot went by fast, so I couldn't tell you what. Maybe it was the 3 extra monitors he said where installed in one of his interviews. Other then that, I didn't get to see a whole lot of it. (not that I noticed anyway)

SHINY

Monday, July 26, 2004 4:19 AM

Sorry, I tried to post this earlier but got some wierd Microsoft OLE DB or some other technicaly goobledygook error. I did post this on the OB, but I'll repeat it here:

Just sitting in the airport waiting for my plane to board and thought I'd jot down a few things that stuck in my brain:

TRAILER:

Select to view spoiler:

• River stretched out bracing herself against both walls at the ceiling of a hallway(?) a la Jackie Chan
• River w/ a big metal uncomfortable-looking syringe-like brain probe stuck in her forehead
• LASER BEAMS! (I think it was only the ship following Serenity that shot a laser, but others thought they saw Serenity return fire w/ a laser
• A Companion Yoga Class?
• Trailer moved to quickly to distinguish any differences either int or ext to Serenity

PANEL:
• HUGE, ENORMOUS, MINUTES-LONG STANDING OVATION for Joss when he walked on stage. He seemed genuinely touched as well as surprised by the size of the audience, as did many of the cast. A few, including Adam and I think Nathan, took some pictures of the audience.
• Almost all of the Q's directed to Joss, 1 hr was WAY too short (I don't even think it was quite 1 hr)
• Joss is very clearly focused on the possibility of movie sequels as opposed to a return to TV
• Nate called Adam Stinky Pants or something similar (in reference to some kind of Burritto incident)
• Adam makes Morena cry and storm off stage. Joss reprimands Adam.
• Joss is Adam's hero
• Adam was wearing Lux's T-shirt
• The thing Summer likes best about playing River is that she can go barefoot so often. (apparently Summer doesn't like to wear shoes)
• Sean tells Summer he loves her
• 'The Flying Tams' (Sean's joke)
• Lisa Lasek (the editor) and Loni (from Zoic, who do the CGI) were nowhere to be found. Don't know why.
• Joss said the movie would not delve into the Blue Sun mystery, but there would as mentioned elsewhere be Reavers.
• Universal execs were in the audience; I think I saw some of them being escorted in from behind the curtains in the front left of the hall. I can only imagine that the amazing explosive reaction of the PACKED room to Joss and the cast and the trailer must have helped convince them what a valuable franchise they have on their hands. Can you say trilogy? :)

Regarding the WONDERFALLS PANEL:
• It sounded like the Wonderfalls DVD is a done deal, or close to it. Not sure if this is news, since I haven't followed this closely but I thought I'd share it in case it was.
• Tim (or someone else on his panel) said the main reason Wonderfalls was cancelled was that the president of Fox decided to try making Fox more 'mainstream'.

Finally, by far the funniest thing of the day was when during a question about Charisma Carpenter, Joss said (I think he already mentioned this before somewhere) that Jayne could be considered something of a "Cordy"-like character. Just as Joss is about to ask for the next fan question, Adam turns to Nathan and says, "who is Charisma Carpenter?". Nate leans conspiratorially into Adam and makes the curvy-hourglass-shape in the air with his hands, then after the audience laughter subides, he leans back into Adam and mimes opening a playboy centerfold for him to see. The entire audience (and Joss!) just about died laughing.

"I left my heart in Seren-ity Val-ley..." <-- the farthest I've ever gotten in writing filk. ;)

SHINY

Monday, July 26, 2004 4:21 AM

Oh, and just so no one gets worried, Morena was just pretending to cry and storm off. Earlier, when Joss asked each of the cast members to say what they liked the best about their character, Morena said it was cool how smart Inara was, how she could do anything, and how every day she learned more things Inara could do that she (Morena) couldn't. I think someone else may have later made a joke about Inara being much smarter than Morena.
Then one of the fans praised Adam for doing such a good job playing a "dumb" character (Jayne) with some depth, without it being a caricature (sp?) -- Adam said something like it's easier to be smart and play dumb than be dumb and play smart. That's when the rest of the cast looked and laughed at Morena, and she pretended to cry and storm off. It's not entirely clear if Adam actually intended to make fun of Morena there, he certainly claimed he was just talking about his own intelligence with that comment when Joss came over to 'yell' at him.

When I saw the serenity trailer today at Comic-Con I teared-up. Is it normal for a 28 year old male to have hot flashes? It seems silly to me that I have invested so much emotion in a TV show, but seeing the trailer and the cast today was a truly awesome experience.
I know I can't do a great job describing the trailer, but I will mention a few things that stand out. First off, it was amazing, the movie isn't even finished, and it was just something they "threw together" for the convention, but it was incredible and made me even more fired up for the movie than I already was. In brief glimpses of Serenity I noticed the "wider hallways to accomidate better acting" that I think Alan mentioned in an interview. River was featured heavily in the trailer and it looks like she will have a very active role in the movie(yay!).
Seeing all the crew together was awesome. I must mention, I was really struck by just how gorram attractive these people(ladies and gents both) are in person, Serenity definitely has the best looking crew in the 'verse. During the question and answer all of the cast were very funny and charismatic, and I ended up loving them all even more than I already did. I felt a little bad for Morena who was taking more than her share of ribbing, but Joss was quick to prevent her from storming off the stage.
Though seeing the trailer and the crew was amazing for me, being surrounded by other fans really took the experience to a whole new level for me. It was so great to be in a room packed full of people who were as excited as I was, it was a truly special moment. So let me say thanks to all the Browncoats who came out today, and thanks to everyone who fell in love with the show and has been fighting from the beginning to keep Serenity flying, you are the reason I will be in the theater next April weeping tears of joy as I watch the Big Damn Movie.

Hey Shiny, I was wondering - I didnt know that Zoe's real life husband is Lawrence Fishburn, and I could have sworn that it was him walking up the stairs to Inara during the trailer. Did anyone else think that?
Would be a cool cameo if so. :)

Monday, July 26, 2004 5:36 AM

a little story of today from my point of view, for those who couldn't be in attendance... Ahh what a great time, to see all 9 castmembers and Joss on stage together. Absolutely thrilling. There were a couple people towards my right in the auditorium that had yellow and orange wool caps like Jayne's. Also saw a few people in Firefly gear, and also a Blue Sun logo t-shirt.

I was really disappointed that we couldn't get in the autograph line right after the panel (the panel was 1-2, and autos were set for 2-3pm). Seems that if we wanted autos, we actually had to be in line for the autos *INSTEAD* of being in the auditorium listening to the gang on stage. Oh well, I hung around until after the autograph panel ended and caught the gang as they left, had a quick exchange with Nathan Fillion (I said, "good luck with the movie, guys! and Nathan turned around, grinned widely and nodded at me in a 'thank you' way as he was leaving). Also Alan Tudyk, after leaving, had to come by me to collect his bag that he had left at the autograph tables. I walked 'near' the cast & security down to another meeting room, their "green room" I guess, but was not able to really get any pics or have any convo's during this time. Was a thrill though! Was really hoping to get all 10 sigs on my DVDs though. That woulda been very very shiny. Oh well, I've got my digital pics and video from teh event :) Keep flyin', Serenity!!

EMBASSY

Monday, July 26, 2004 5:43 AM

I was there too, with Mrs. Embassy and LEEH and particular friend Russ and two of my kids. Great seats, packed hall, that's all been said.

I have some impressions for what it's worth.

Far too many of the questions from audience members were Buffy and Angel related. I love the Buffyverse as much as the next fan, but i was there for Firefly. Joss actually had to ask the more interesting questions of the cast himself. Maybe it's like this normally but the LA Comic Thing in December was, in my view, much more fun.

Autograph line was largely taken up by fans who actually skipped the panel for spots in the queue.

The BDM appears to feature River in a much more 'active' role. We're not talking waiflike victim river here. We're talking competent Objects in Space and then some River. River is part of the crew, was the vibe I got.

The costumes were fantastic. Really amazing stuff. Shawna Trpcic' work on the series was great, but whether she's doing it or someone else at Universal, it's at a whole new level.

The mule is a hovercrafty thing like the doofer in Heart of Gold now. Guess they needed a new one after War Stories.

The teaser was cut by marketing people at Universal, especially for this event.

Most excellent in every way.

MRSEMBASSY

Monday, July 26, 2004 6:55 AM

OK, I've gotta say, this was not nearly as much fun as the LA con in December ... the presentation was much too short (50 minutes) and the cast members hardly had a chance to say anything! It was great to see the clips from the movie, though. They showed the short trailer twice, and it looked even better the second time. The costumes are awesome and the ship looks great! River looks like she plays a major role in the film.

I was sorry that I didn't check the boards to meet up with more Browncoats at the con - It seemed to us that much of the audience had never heard of Firefly, and they lined up to ask questions of Joss Whedon that had nothing to do with the show or movie (which left the 9 cast members sitting there twiddling thumbs while Joss talked).

Our high point came 15 minutes before the panel, when two of my kids and I ran into Joss coming off the escalator. We just said hi and told him he was the reason we were there today, and that we were really looking forward to seeing the footage. He was very nice (and really laid back, and seemed relieved that we didn't ask him for an autograph - got that last time!)

Best lines: Someone asked each cast member what they liked most about their characters -

Gina said "My gun. It's a very sexy gun." Oh, and she really likes her pants because they're spandex and they let her MOVE! LOL

Alan said, "I like the fact that Wash - well, and the Shepherd, too - is the voice against violence. He's the one that'll say 'Hey, do we really have to shoot people here?'" and Gina put her arm around him and said, "That's because you have me to protect you, dear."

Sean said it was NOT his pants - they are not spandex and they're very tight and uncomfortable. Someone yelled out "Dr. Tightpants!" Then he said what he really liked about Simon was how devoted he was to his sister. (Everyone said "Awwwwww!!!") then he turned to Summer and said "I love you, Summer!" (in a very melodramatic tone).

Sean also mentioned at one point that he and Summer were considering a job in the circus as "The Flying Tams".

Summer said she loved the fact that River got to go barefoot because she hates wearing shoes.

Nathan gave a long and moving speech that went something like - "I love that the one thing you can rely on about Malcolm Reynolds, is that in whatever situation, however dangerous it is, whatever he has to risk, or whenever he has to fight, to stand up for his people, you know that he'll always have the legs of a dancer." It was SO FUNNY - people were just screaming. He really is a cut up.

Someone asked Joss if it was hard to write lines for Jayne - and asked Adam if it was hard to play him - because he was so stupid. HA! Adam grabbed the mike and said "Well, it's harder to be stupid and play smart than the other way." And gazed meaningfully at the other cast members, especially Morena (who feigned crying and walked offstage). Joss walked over and stood right over Adam glaring at him. It was really hilarious!

Unfortunately the autograph line was way too long to wait in, so we just did a quick visit to the dealer's room and then headed home. Definitely worth the 3.5 hour drive, though!

Hope to see more of you at another shindig soon!

-Mrs. Embassy

I was. Up close. It was all in fun. If you have any doubts, take a look at JUSTDAVID's pictures he just posted. Pictures 27-30 are Morena just after she "stormed off" and was "consoled" by Joss. Off camera, Joss is standing over Adam and glaring at him.

I arrived at the Comic-Con on Thursday, the only firefly-related thing that happenned between Thursday and Sunday was the very cool appearance of my favorite actor Jonathan Woodward (Tracey in "The Message") He is the coolest person ever!! He was there on Thursday and Friday, so I saw him both days, he was amazing!
Now lets skip to Sunday (Firefly day!)
I woke up at 10:00 because my brother had a panel he wanted to attend, I waited for a couple of hours and headed straight to Room 20 (where the panel was being held) and got two great places (for me and my brother) I went through other panels (Chucky, Shaun of the Dead) but it was worth the wait!! They announced Joss Whedon (the room was packed) and he came out and said "I've got something to show you" the lights went off and suddenly a SERENITY TRAILER appears on the screens!!!!! I was about to have a heart attack!! (Read description on previous posts) then after the trailer he announced the cast! and all our BDHs came out! there was a little question session where you could stand up and ask your question out loud, and right now I dont remember what people asked (But surely someone will post a transcript) but what I do remember is that the cast was joking around A LOT, there was this hilarious joke that made Joss hug Morena, it was about stupid actors playing smart characters and viceversa, and I cant find a way to tell it to you so that you'll fully get it, but if a transcript comes up, you'll get it! Anyway, the panel ended with another screening of the SPECTACULAR trailer, what can I say about the trailer?....well the characters look so cool (Mal has this new hairdo going on) it definetely looks higher-quality than the series (I dont know how to describe this, but its colorful and BIG, so weird!) and I noticed that there was A LOT of River in the trailer! It was so cool!
After the panel there was a signing, but it was full (since before the panel...I guess) and there were a lot of Browncoats that just didnt get the chance to meet and greet our BDHs (One of them being me) but the smart ones (once again..one of them being me..hehehe) took pictures and waved from far away, and the REALLY REALLY smart ones (a few of us...including me..hehehehe) waited in the terrace for their departure! So I'll tell you my version of what happenned, I went out to the terrace were they were supposed to come out and suddenly I see Loni and George (from Zoic Studios, the visual effects) so I said hi to them, I didnt have a marker so I didnt ask for autographs, suddenly they open the doors and Nathan comes out I wave to him and say hi, three seconds after Nathan, Summer, Jewel and Sean came out I said hi, took pictures etc. and after them comes Adam, Alan, Ron and Joss, the same with them, I followed them and found than Alan was all the way at the back (IN FRONT OF ME!!!) so I gave Alan a picture that I was saving for him to autograph, but the security guards told me "NO AUTOGRAPHS!" so I told him to keep it since it was a very cool picture (the one that Adam took where he has the sunglasses on) He was happy! Finally I yelled "Goodbye!" and I saw Adam taking some pictures with fans (How cool is THAT) and well that was it! The only ones I missed were Morena and Gina but I had seen them when they were signing and Gina had smiled back at me. So I am very very happy that I was there! The only thing I'd like to add is that Joss or someone gave out some Alliance money (like some giant dollars) to some of the fans that were in the signing!! Did anyone get these? If so...share some scans, pleaaaseeee!
Also I saw a lot of browncoats there! and gave out some of my home-made buttons (did anyone here get some??)

Bye and Keep Flyin'

great reports everyone. just out of curiosity when people have said serenity was havinglazers shot at her, did anyone notice whether or not there were acompanying sound effects or is it still silent in space?

Monday, July 26, 2004 1:24 PM

i dont recall any "space" shots at all. the only shot of serenity was when she was being chased and fired on by a rather BIG ship. That looked to take place in the atmoshpere of a moon, or planet.(cant tell which)

Zoe in SPANDEX? Oh, MY! - I'll be in my bunk...

I do hope she wears the leather top from the series, though. Very hot...

Perhaps Summer and the reaction to shoes comes from her dancing; ballet is hard on feet, I understand. I'd a whole lot rather see her barefoot than wearing the mongo-huge boondockers she wears dancing before the kidnap scene.

Yes, these reports do make up for the fact that many of us couldn't be there. Maybe some day the BDHs will come visit the East Coast? Pleeeease? We don't bite -- much -- and we kin be right friendly-like and accomodatin'. Even in New York City!

Also, after reading that Universal suits were (maybe) there, I plan to support advertisers and anything else Universal-related as much as possible. Rah, rah, Universal! We heart you! Their forward-thinking vision is making the BDM happen.

Personally - I'd much rather see a dress with big-ass boots then hip-huggers and lingerie tops. Just cannot like that combo - glad to see River with a jacket on, though!

Huge crowd! Hall 20 can hold 4300 people and I think it was almost completely full by the time Joss and crew came on stage. A fair number of browncoats from one board or another were all in line by 9:30am although the Serenity panel wasn't until 1:00pm. As soon as they opened the hall we rushed in and grabbed the best seats we could. Cathy and I were in row six, with quite a few browncoats in front of us.
I basically sat there all morning saving seats while my wife wandered in and out. Some of those panels I had to sit through were just horrid. But I won't name names...

Now for the good stuff. Joss walked on and the hall erupted into applause, whistles and cheers, including a standing ovation. It took him a minute or so to regain his composure and for us to quiet down.

The first thing he did was show us the TRAILER! Awesome stuff, but I'm not even going to try to talk about it since it was basically all spoilers. Then our BDH's came on stage to another huge ovation. I couldn't take it all in, but at least Sean and Summer seemed fairly overwhelmed by the response.

The rest of the panel was a Q&A, most of which I can't remember but there was one section where Joss asked each cast member to explain what they liked the most about their character. He also asked them each to tell what they liked the least about Jewel

Here is what I wrote down, at the time about each one. Any errors in these quotes are strictly mine.

Gina: I like my gun. It's a very sexy gun. She also liked the fact that her pants had spandex in them.

Alan: He gets to be the one who says 'Lets put the guns down and try to avoid violence' (most of the time )

Adam: "What is life without work." Bottom line kind of guy, cut the bull. He started to say 'bullshit', but stopped halfway and asked if he could say that. The crowd responded 'YES'.

Nathan: Even in the thick of battle you knew you could always turn to the Captain and know that he has the legs of a dancer. (Honest! That's what he said!)

Jewel: Warmth. No beef with anybody on the ship. Relationship with the Captain. Can give him shit without him blowing up at her.

Morena: (Sorry I didn't write anything coherent.)

Summer: River can do anything. Summer mentioned early in the series how she wanted River to have a gun, then by episode 10 she has one. She is shooting for the captaincy.

Sean: Dislikes his tight pants. Love for his sister. "I love you Summer!"

Ron: Humor, conviction, unpredictability. Least like about Jewel: her frequent absence.

There was one time where Joss said something like "I didn't tell Adam this from the beginning but Jayne is Firefly's Cordelia". First Adam said, 'Yeah I can see that now", then he said "Who is Cordelia?", so he and Nathan started this long and Hi-larious pantomime where Nathan does the hour-glass outline, then mimes opening a centerfold, at which point Adam say "Oh! Now I remember!" Much laughter in the audience.

There was a lot of joking about everyone calling Morena stupid until finally Adam said something about it being easier for a smart actor to act like a dumb person than a stupid actor act like a smart person. At which point Morena stood up and started to walk away but Joss intercepted her and gave her a hug, and escorted her back to her seat. Then he went over to Adam and gave him an inaudible speech. All was done in a spirit of fun! Morena was smiling the whole time.

When they were each talking about what plans they had for the future, Gina started with "First I'm going to finish Serenity...." When it was Nathan's turn he said "I'm not leaving Serenity, I'm going to live there." Then he joked about spin-off's he was going to start. Mal's Browncoat Brigade (or something like that), or Mal the Early Years. Most of them mentioned looking for work!

I have pictures that I'll go through and see if I have anything that hasn't already been posted. I also have ten short video clips, but they are small and grainy. Not sure if they are worth posting or not.

Monday, July 26, 2004 5:38 PM

Okay, here's my report, from the "other" side.

I got there about 10:00 and went to get in line for room 20. Obviously hundreds of other people had the same idea, because the line was already down the hall and around the corner. But I knew where to go from previous panels that weekend, and ended up in the first row behind the VIP seats.

Around 11:30, I pulled out the daily newsletter, and saw that they had the Serenity signing listed as being from 11 - 12! Oh no, that could't be right!! So I gave up my seat and ran to the autograph room. I was wearing my Firefly shirt, so as I ran around looking for anything to tell me what was going on, I heard people yelling "Hey you...you want to be over here!" Yep, that was the line for the signing. It didn't really start until 2:00, after the panel was over, but it was obvious I would have to make a choice. And since I had attended the Firefly panel in L.A. back in December, but hadn't been able to get their autographs that time, I chose the autograph line.

When they finally let us move up to the autograph line, many hours later, the initially cut the line off two people behind me. They eventually let more people in, but I am pretty sure that all of the people who were in the autograph line once they capped it didn't get in. And if they missed both the panel and getting autographs, well, that really sucks!

Anyway, I was up in the front line when the cast came in. First I saw Gina and then the rest of them filtered in behind, and they all looked so beautiful! Last through was Nathan in his sunglasses, and my god, I nearly turned into a screaming teenager. We all applauded and cheered as they came in, and it was great.

We were allowed to take as many pictures as we wanted from within the line, and the line wound around a few times, so at one point we were directly in front of all of them and could take all the pictures we wanted. And I took close to an entire roll! Once we got up to the table we weren't allowed to take their pictures, but there was a guy who worked there who would walk up and take pictures for you with your camera, so he took some for me as well.

The actual table was pretty chaotic. You were only allowed to have the Serenity poster they brought with them signed, nothing else. First stop was Adam, Nathan and Sean, who were funny and flirty and constantly making jokes amongst themselves. I was stuck in that area for awhile as the line wasn't moving. Someone told Nathan they liked him in Buffy, and he said people most often described him as creepy, and then they riffed for awhile on his Caleb hair and how it covered his face. Then, the girl in front of me told Sean he was gorgeous and looked like her old roommate, which caused Nathan to ask if she had ever kissed her roommate. She said yes, which started Nathan off on the morals of kissing ones roomate.

Then it was down to Ron, Kaylee, Summer and Morena, who signed quickly and didn't really say much. Gina was gregarious, saying hello to everyone and saying how happy she was to be there. Then it was on to Alan and finally Joss. They all looked so happy to be there!

Also, while I was waiting in line, I was pulled out by the dvd crew to do an interview for the Serenity DVD. So I was interviewed on why I was there, and what kept me wanting more after the show ended and if I was a fan of Joss, stuff like that. I know the DVD crew filmed some of the autograph session as well, and I would be they filmed the panel too. So look for it (and me!) on the Serenity DVD!

RIJPE

Monday, July 26, 2004 6:29 PM

I was there too! I drove down from Orange County (1.5 hours to get there, 2.5 hours to get back) just to go to that panel. I got there about 1/2 hour before, so got some of the Shaun of the Dead panel. I got a great seat! I saw the Jayne hats to my right and about four people behind me sang the theme song loudly while we were waiting for Joss to show up. I would have waited any amount of time to get autographs, but it was pretty clear that there was no way anyone who went to the panel was far enough in the line to get autographs.

Most of what I would have reported has already been said. Was Jayne's nickname "Mulligan stinky pants?" I can't remember the first word. He apparently got that name after "burrito day" on set.

I loved the BDM preview, but I also loved the fact that I thought it would go over well with a typical audience with no previous knowledge of Firefly. It looked awesome! I wish they hadn't had the part about opening the safe in it though. Seems to give too much away.

I honestly don't remember seeing Book one single time in the whole trailer. That doesn't mean a lot, because they are not done filming yet, but it makes you wonder.

PEARLAT32

Monday, July 26, 2004 6:29 PM

Gosh, it sucks that you had to make a decision of panel vs. signing, but I'm so glad you made the right choice. Because I would have been in the frikkin' panel room. (Didn't get to go though, live on east coast)

But what you left out was what *you* said to the guys, especially Nathan... I can't say I wouldn't be speechless myself, looking at all of their blue eyes. ("Look at all the pretties!")

I have posted before, preferring to just read everyone's comments, but I had to share my Comic Con moment. During the signing, the gentleman in front of me told Joss that he was Hollywood's must underappreciated talent.

With a HUGE grin Joss responded, "I don't feel that way today."

It was a great moment that shows how much he was truly touched by the fan reaction during the panel.

Thanks for your report, Mal's Gal! That's so shiny that you got to get all those autographs, talk to some of the BDHs when the line slowed down, and even get interviewed for the DVD!!! It (almost) makes up for the fact that I missed my chance to ask Joss my question...grumble grumble...stupid microphone lady... (not that I'm bitter or anything... Oh, by the way, that reminds me. Tim? A little bitter!)

That was me! I didn't know anyone heard me. That was pretty much the only intelligible thing I was able to get out during that autograph signing. I had something planned to say to each one of the castmembers + Joss, but they moved us through the line so fast I wasn't able to talk to everyone and I forgot what I had planned to say to most of them. I ended up sounding like an idiot, but I guess that's expected when meeting our BDH's.

Apart from everything else, will this now cause all the naysayers to sit on their hands till the movie comes out - they let them use the funky unfocused SFX; surely the first thing a studio would have got rid of if they were looking to interfere.

Sorry for the delayed response; I just noticed your question. I currently use a Zodiac (PalmOS-based handheld gaming console) connected via bluetooth to my Ericsson T68, although I am considering switching to the next version of the Treo if it has a hi-res (320x320) screen (needed for reading Firefly scripts in a comfortable font), because one device would be more convenient.

The other is an attempt to show a view of the crowd just before Joss came out. But it still doesn't really capture how far back the room goes. I'd really like to see some of the pics the cast took. Oh, well.

Thank you!!! My tape recorder crapped out 15 minutes in and I was all pouty because of it, but now I don't have to be!!

And since nobody else has mentioned it, it was hilarious when, after half the hall had left to follow Joss & Co., to the signing area, Tim Minear began the Wonderfalls panel by grimacing and calling Joss a Traitor for taking everybody with him, saying something like "How many episodes of Buffy? How many episodes of Angel and Firefly? And this is the thanks I get?!"

Plus, the two episodes they screened were way cool and had Jewel Staite in them. Given that there was no way in hell I was gonna get into the signing line on time, it was a primo way to spend the last hours of the con--watching t.v. with other fans. And Minear, Holland, and Fuller were cool enough to run over time and then hang around so we could get autographs and pics.

We were blown away!

The execs in attendance were all abuzz too.

This will help our boat soar within the halls of power and that's always a good thing.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm!

We heard you loud and clear!

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.
