There is such a ginormous volume of stuff coming from Comic-Con that I have stopped trying to keep track of it all. (I haven’t even watched all the Twilight footage, nor do I think I want to.)
I’m not even sure I would’ve wanted to be at the Twilight panel because as I’ve stated before, I have a real problem with the weird fandom it seems to attract and I’m sure I would’ve run out of Advil halfway through from the migraine-inducing shrieking that seemed to drown out every other syllable, from the little footage I’ve seen.
However, I *would’ve* liked to see Joss. And Dr. Horrible, which for some reason, I haven’t even downloaded yet. (What is with me lately?) And the JJ Abrams/Fringe panel.
And, of course, the showrunners panel, which consisted of Josh Schwartz, Bryan Fuller, Josh Friedman, Carlton Cuse, and one of my major crushes, Damon Lindelof.
From Kristin Dos Santos:
Welcome to a very special Comic-Con Concert with Darlton and the Pips!
That “Pip” thing was Josh Friedman’s joke, not mine, and came out of the fact that the large majority of the fans attending the showrunners panel—starring Josh Schwartz (Chuck, Gossip Girl), Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies), Friedman (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (both of Lost)—spent a heck of a lot of time asking about that teleporting island we hold so dear.
Newsflash: People who watch Lost have a few, um, questions.
Still, there was much love for the other shows (despite Schwartz’s assertion that “I feel Gossip Girl is verboten here” even that series got some raucous cheers), and even a little scoop. Click in for the goods…

Ditto the Other Chuck: “The second season premiere is a pilot for us,” says Schwartz. “We are treating this season as if the show were off the air for years.” He says the new season will start off where season one left off, with Chuck Bartowski being dangled off the roof, and telling the story of how he got there.
Chuck Bartowski Knows Lost Secrets: Remember when Chuck (Zachary Levi) flashed on the location of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815? Well, Schwartz recalls that, “[Damon and Carlton] sent me a box of cookies that said ‘If you give away any more of our secrets we’ll kill you.” Funny, I got the same cookies one time from ABC after revealing a Lost death but they were laced with arsenic. (Yum!) Meanwhile, Carlton had a question for Josh about the whereabouts of the crash: “Wait, where is it?”

Wait a Minute, Yvonne Strahovski Was Almost Bionic? Okay, perhaps Schwartz was kidding around, but he made it sound as though Chuck’s resident butt-kicking hottie could have ended up the leading lady on NBC’s now-dead remake. “We saw Yvonne on a tape from Australia, and our casting director was literally waiting for her at the airport and snatched her up before Bionic Woman could take her away,” says Schwartz. I’m moderating the Chuck panel tomorrow and you can be sure I’m gonna follow up on that. If you have any more questions for the Chuck crew, be a peach and post them below, will ya? I wanna know what you wanna know.
