Though I wasn't there (work and like no money and stuff), the Internet is there to fill in the details of what's to come on my favorite TV Shows (both rest of the summer, and returning in the fall), plus a few good movies (well one I find myself really excited about).
First, Thursday had the
Ringer panel, which marked Sarah Michelle Gellar's second trip to the Con ever.
The CW released an extended look trailer:
Series premieres, September 13th, 2011 at 9/8c PM (Mark it on your calendars)
Friday was the day of the
Big Bang Theory panel, and the tidbits I saw from
G4's Coverage is wedding planning and the aftermath of Penny/Raj drunken night.
True Blood , now there's a panel I would love to see. Nearly all the major players present, and Alan Ball of course, and like always, a look at what's to come the remainder of this season (steamy, action-packed, wonderfulness):
VIDEO It's a lot to take in, spoilery, sure, but most of the time once we get to those episodes, whatever we may have took from it, ends up a little different. But, it is looking to be an awesome season, and I look forward to more seasons of those fantastic series.
Saturday saw a big bulk of shows,
Chuck 's final panel as the upcoming 5th season is it's last, and that of course meaning a video release as coming into it, Morgan is now the intersect so enter the Rocky themed workout video:
Oh, and this is
Chuck , so no
Chuck season will be complete with a guest star or two. One confirmed actor: Mark Hamill.
The
Fringe panel started, sans Joshua Jackson (who plays Peter Bishop, which, if you've yet to catch up on your DVR, then avert your eyes, ... seemed to have been wiped from existence), and a video of Peter auditions went out with some familiar faces (Greg Grunberg, Zachary Quinto, Jorge Garcia, to name a few), before showing Peter as an...Observer. Then back to the panel, Jackson appears to take a seat at the panel with rest of cast.

Vampire Diaries : We know Stefan has a bloodlust now, we haven't seen the last of Elijah, Tyler and Caroline are just friends, and Damon shirtless and soapy (seriously, that's a headline for a few articles, such as from
Entertainment Weekly )
And as we knew,
Supernatural , of all the Warner Bros. shows returning, is the lowest rated as well, but it's strong core fanbase means, this little show, got Hall H (the largest at the Con, usually held for movie panels), and packed it. What we know, first ep of season 7 will pick up RIGHT AFTER the end of the 6th. Crowley will be back (yay!). They showed some video from the 3rd ep (which Jensen Ackles directed, and Jewel Staite (
Firefly ) guest stars in). Sam and Dean no longer have a friend is Castiel. And Ben Edlund has eyes set for a ninja story (as there are throwing stars in the trunk of the Impala, would be nice to see them used). (
Entertainment Weekly )
And, also a Hall H panel,
Doctor Who returns to BBC America on August 27 at 9/8c PM. Video was released for what's to come in the 2nd half of the 6th season, including that the Doctor may have accidentally saved Hitler's life and Cybermen:
VIDEO We also learned Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor) is a
True Blood fan. (
FEARnet ).
The CW shows don't have much towards videos, at least not online yet, as I could find. All that is available online are clips of the previous season to essentially pump us all up for the upcoming seasons.
And the movie, aside from there being the 4th
Underworld film (
Awakening ), which I'm extremely looking forward to as I am firm on it being the best Vampire/Werewolf (Lycan) franchise ever, there is a different movie to talk about:
Knights of Badassdom . First, the title: Awesome. Second: it's got Summer Glau (
Firefly ,
Sarah Connor Chronicles ), super Awesome. Third: also stars Ryan Kwanten (
True Blood ) & Peter Dinklage (
Game of Thrones ), Fourth: innocent LARPing becomes real, a bit interesting (okay, hilarious). Check out
