comic-con 2009 round-up


its pretty hard to decipher from the above picture, but ABC have confirmed the above as:
Faraday, Boone, Miles, Michael, Ana Lucia, Charlotte, Shannon, Desmond, Eko, Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Locke, Ben, Sayid, Libby, Sun, Jin, Claire, Hurley, Juliet, Charlie, Frank, Richard, Bernard and Rose
I am so fucking excited. Round up of Lost, Heroes, Fringe, Doctor Who and Torchwood's panels below...

LOST
Beginning with the best, the Lost panel was pretty revelatory.
In short (from DarkUfo):
1) Parallel with S1 and S6 - DL confirms many characters from season one!
CC: Says there is a way of discovery that they will have in play in S6
2) Faraday confirmed for S6!!
3) Will we see flashbacks to characters' childhood? CC says S6 will be different. CC won't describe what that point of difference is.
4) Richard Alpert's backstory is "involved"
5) DL: Juliet WILL be in final season.
6) Q: Is Man in Black's name "Esau?" Emerson: Might be too literal--but I like the way your mind works.
7) Food drop in S2 finale might be covered... DL: "Something we'll try to address."
8) We won't see much DHARMA in S6
9) Jacob has NOT appeared as another character on the show.
10) Dominic Monaghan appeared on the panel!!!!
Read Doc jensens write up here

The major talking point was of course the virtual confirmation that Charlie (and I suspect all the characters in the above poster) will be in Season 6. I am so excited to see how this is going to work and how major their roles will be. I think Season 6 is going to be epic beyond all proportions.
Emerson, Garcia and Holloway were all at the Panel, and from the clips I've seen, were all on top form. Emerson even read a fake script from Heroes and declared "what the fuck is this?". Legend.
Here is the death reel that preceded Monaghans appearnce:


Heroes

In comparison, the Heroes panel was pretty dull...
here is a promo for season 5, Redemption:

looks like they are going ti create some new mythology again with the stupid compass thing. Gurnberg and Qinto are far too good for this show! I hope Sylar breaks out of Nathans body early on so I dont have to watch Adrian Pasdar "act" for too long.

Fringe
What we learned:
  • Kirk Avecedo (Charlie Francis) will be on season 2 extensively
  • Leonard Nimoy will return in the premiere to play William Bell
  • Pinkner virtually admitted the original plan to make the show very accessible to all audiences was now out the window. :D
That's pretty much it!!

Doctor Who
  • John Simm will return as the master in the Christmas special(s)
  • Donna and Wilf will also return!
  • River Song will return next season, in some of Matt Smiths first few episodes.
  • New Waters of Mars preview clip! watch here


Torchwood

Nothing much, just general talks about CofE's excellent reviews/reaction both UK and USA. I reckon the fact they're even having a panel suggests there will be another season.

matt smith=the new doctor

Good luck to him. Bit of a surprise, as no-ones really heard of him...very inexperienced but shouldnt be judged until hes actually been in a few episodes.

Who is Matt Smith...even the BBC doesnt know...

doctor who and torchwood


Torchwood
The finale was on on friday, and it was a great episode. Captain John came back to cause havoc for Jack and the team, but it turned out Gray (Jacks long lost brother) was behind it. Believable? hmmm. Anyway the story was good, and surprisingly enough 2 of the team died! Owen (for good this time) and Tosh were killed off. the best 2 to kill, if they were gonna kill any. The only thing Tosh seemed to do was pine after Owen, and the only thing Owen seemed to do was moan about being dead. Looking forward to series 3, which will take a bigger role next year, as Dr Who is not on. I may try and watch series 1 in between times.

Doctor Who
Much more importantly, Dr Who is back!! I thought it was a quality episode, much better than the chrimbo special. Catherine Tate was really good as Donna, much less annoying than she was in the christmas special 2006, she is actually a pretty good actress, and its going to be good having a companion who isnt pining after the Doctor all the time! and, to pretty much everyones surprise, Rose appeared! it was widely known she was coming back this series, but it was thought it would only be later on. We last saw her in a parallel universe, so what is she doing on normal earth. hmmm. its very exciting. I am such a dr Who geek, but i dont care, it is quality.

Both Dr Who and torchwood can be seen on the iplayer still
