I'm pretty tired, having just got home from Comic Con. The good thing? I managed to get in to see the main panel I wanted to see today. The bad thing? I had to leave early to get my plane. *sigh* Oh well, I am now safe at home.
- Got up at 4:45 to get on line for Hall H. I had to check out of the hotel and pack everything to go since I was leaving directly for the airport right after the Dr Who panel. BTW, dragging rolling luggage over grass? NOT fun.
- Because I was on line so early, though, I got in to see everything this morning!
- Glee. Saw some excerpts from the upcoming Glee 3D movie before the panel came out. They were all very fun and pretty overwhelmed at the screaming welcome they got. :)
- Supernatural. You know, I have never watched that show, but I may have to start. From what I can see, the main stars (Jared and Jensen?) have some awesome chemistry. They were clearly playing to their fans. Lots of flirting and touching going on up on the stage. Oh, and they played a blooper reel that was HYSTERICAL. *g* Apparently there is an anime coming, too? We got to see excerpts of that as well. :)
- DR WHO! Eeeeeee! Karen and Matt were SOOOO CUUUTE. And they were clearly totally blown away by the loud and enthusiastic welcome. OMG, we saw a preview of the upcoming season as well a snippet of an episode and I cannot WAIT! *bounces*
There were some awesome cosplayers at the panel, too (I have pics but I'm too tired to figure out how to post tonight - maybe tomorrow), all in all it was fab. I was so sad I had to leave before people finished asking questions.
- Plane ride home was uneventful (which is always good).
Am off to bed, all. *waves* Will be catching up with Flists (and hopefully writing) tomorrow.

Date: 2011-07-25 07:52 pm (UTC)YEESSS!!! SUPERNATURAL!!! I'm so jealous and thrilled that you got to see the Supernatural panel. Jared and Jensen have INSANELY AMAZING chemistry on and off screen, and the show is truly wonderful. Angsty and dramatic and so freaking hilarious at times. I love it like crack. It's mostly pulled me away from Harry Potter, which I still adore, but I only have so much (or little, really) time to spend on fandom, so Supernatural gets most of my attention (though I do still read HP fic).
One thing that's different about Supernatural from other fandoms is the huge amount of RPS that people write. It stems from Jared and Jensen's SUPER BFF relationship and the chemistry between them. So people write fic about the characters AND the actors, and it's all together in one fandom.
Even if you don't join the fandom, I'd definitely recommend watching the show. The first half or so of the first season is a little rocky, but towards the end of Season 1 you can tell that there's a shift from focusing on telling a story about the monster of the week to using the monster of the week to further the story about the relationship between the Winchester brothers. It's their relationship that is the driving force for the entire show, and they develop these intricate myth-arcs that span whole seasons.
There is an anime series that's out now, and it's essentially a re-telling of the first two seasons of the show, with some new anime-only stories thrown in. I have it all downloaded, but I haven't watched it yet. You can get it English-dubbed (Jared does Sam for all of the episodes, but Jensen only does Dean for the last 2 or 3) or with subtitles.
Anyway, SPN gushing aside, I'm thrilled that you got to go to Comic Con and had such a fun time! I'd love to do that myself someday.
