Comic-Con Video: The Science Behind Science Fiction Panel »

SciNoFi Comic-Con Roundup

eureka2.jpgIndependent observers confirm that our panel was “awesome.” Many, many thanks to Jaime Paglia (Eureka), Kevin Grazier (BSG) and our very own Phil Plait for making the magic happen.

We also went out for dinner with the Eureka writing crew, including Jaime Paglia and Eric Wallace. For the record, any time you want to go out for a few bottles of Sangiovese and a couple hours of talking about Doctor Who, Torchwood, Veronica Mars, the OC and Friday Night Lights, you can count me in. For the complete inside dope from Eric (including their potentially disastrous Comic Con A/V snafu), go to Eureka Unscripted.

More personal Comic Con highlights after the jump.

Next year’s Quantum Quest movie – the Cassini probe gets deeply weird.

Elsewhere in weird NASA news, an Apollo astronaut claims there has been a massive alien cover-up conspiracy and gets the smackdown from the Bad Astronomer.

Standout t-shirt trend from attractive female Con attendees: “Joss Whedon is my master.”

I may have said this before, but John Barrowman is the proverbial (immortal, polysexual) man. And he also sings.

    • About Science Not Fiction

      Sometime in the future, a group of renegade scientists and technologists will take a time machine to now. They're spilling the secrets of tomorrow here at Discover's Science Not Fiction blog.

      ▪ Malcolm MacIver is a bioengineer at Northwestern University who studies the neural and biomechanical basis of animal intelligence. He consults for sci-fi films (Tron Legacy, Joss Whedon's The Avengers), and was the science advisor for Caprica. He covers AI and robotics for Science Not Fiction.

      ▪ Kyle Munkittrick (Web, Twitter) is program director at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies. He covers transhumanism.
