Joss Whedon Speaks: We Listen With Fascination
Written by Alice Jester
Day three at the New York Comic con, attending Joss Whedon’s panel for Dollhouse was quite the surreal experience. As the husband and I stood in the line at the Starbucks kiosk earlier that morning, ready to go to the Chuck panel, people were already lining up for their primo spots to catch this legendary entertainment genius. Considering Joss’ panel wasn’t due to start for three more hours, I knew the day would be all about the Whedon fans.
I was right too. By the time we worked our way to the very large Ign Theatre, with a half hour to spare, it was full. There were two seats available in the back, just in front of the view-obstructing concrete post. Those behind us ended up having to watch the panel on the big screen. There was a certain electricity in the theatre I hadn’t seen with any of the other panels thus far. It felt like we were waiting for the world’s biggest rock star to come out.

What's New On Chuck?: Spoilers from the NY Comic Con
Written by Alice Jester
First panel on Sunday morning was an hour long panel for Chuck, attended by creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak, and the very beautiful Yvonne Strahovski. We got there early enough where just like the day before, we got great seats. That is except for the fathead in front of me that could never keep his head from bobbing back and forth the entire panel. From my point of view, Yvonne could only be seen at one angle, but he tried for more.
The moderator was Alan Sepinwall, TV critic of The Star Ledger. He did a fantastic job with the questions, but I did wonder who was in charge of audience control, for there wasn’t much. The cons were no rules were stated up front, so much of the Q&A was wasted with too many fans at the mic pandering for autographs and photos from Yvonne as well as offering gifts and requests for appearances. Sadly, once she accepted the first request, she opened the Pandora’s box and fans didn’t stop. Luckily Josh Schwartz said no to the first request made of him.
