I made it into the Friday afternoon panel for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, the new Joss Whedon project, available exclusively on the Internet.  The stars of the project, Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day were all in attendance, as well as the creative team, led by Whedon himself.

Anyone attending Comic-Con has seen this hat, dozens of times on dozens of different heads.  This humble, hand-made, and homely piece of headgear may seem like an odd fashion choice to anyone not familiar with Joss Whedon’s Firefly.

I'm not a comic book guy anymore. I used to be. Now I'm on the floor for swag, toys, t-shirts, and people watching. I go to the panels for TV shows and movies.  I've scoured the panel schedule and this is what I've come up with for the television panels that should not be missed this year:

1.    Lost.  Too obvious? Too bad. Lost is probably the best show on television. The modern day Gilligan's Island, except with a plane crash. Bring on season 5.  Panel: Sat 12pm, Hall H

2.    Fringe J.J. Abrams showed the pilot of Lost at Comic-Con four years ago and it was awesome. I'm not going to miss the chance to see his newest TV show.  This one starts with a plane landing in Boston... but everyone on board has died some sort of gruesome death. It sounds like the introductory mystery alerting our cast that the world is weirder than we thought... do I smell a Lost crossover? (Maybe he'll have a Star Trek clip too.) Pilot Screening: Wed 6pm and 7:30pm, Ballroom 20 Panel: Sat 4:45, Ballroom 20

I just discovered that today is the last day to watch Joss Whedon's hilarious mini web series Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog for free!  After today, you'll have to buy it on iTunes or DVD.  The series is in three acts and it's funny, goofy, heartfelt, action-packed, and downright inventive.  Neil Patrick Harris plays the incompetent and love-lorn "superhero" Dr. Horrible and it's an inspired performance. Nathan Fillion plays Dr. Horrible's nemesis Captain Hammer, a beefy, jock-like character with "good hair." Really, take some time out of your Sunday to watch this.  If you miss it... Comic-Con comes to the rescue.

Joss Whedon will talk about and screen the series at Comic-Con on Friday (the screening of the entire series is at 10:45pm in 6B, and the panel with Whedon is earlier in the day at 1:30pm in Ballroom 20). I've even heard rumors that Dr. Horrible could turn into a Broadway production - maybe we'll find out at the Con!
