Just a quick note here to announce a new gallery we posted showing the random sights of 2009's Comic-Con International.
Check it out and enjoy some shots I took while on the run from event to event -- like the perfect
Mystery Science Theater 3000 Torgo (right) from the Rifftrax panel.

Today is
Star Wars Saturday at
Comic-Con International, and
TV Squad has some special exclusives lined up for the event.
The Clone Wars is the big title for Lucasfilm's TV slate currently, but will George Lucas use this big event as the perfect launching pad to announce a live-action
Star Wars series?
Of course, not everything is from a galaxy far, far away today, as other top shows hold their first panels and press events. I'll be running from interview to press conference to panel as fast as my sore feet will carry me.

It's always daunting to remake a classic. In TV circles, it doesn't get much more "classic" than
The Prisoner.
In a press conference at
Comic-Con International Friday, the cast and creative team from AMC's six-episode remake discussed the rigors of re-envisioning Patrick McGoohan's landmark show.
Series stars Jim Caviezel and Jamie Campbell-Bower joined writer Bill Gallagher to greet the press after presenting a nine-minute trailer for the show to a packed Comic-Con panel.

Fox is
releasing an exclusive, limited-edition Dollhouse DVD set for this July's Comic-Con in San Diego. The full details about the Comic-Con set still haven't leaked, but you can pre-order a similar limited-edition DVD or Blu-ray Season One set from
FoxStore.com starting July 6.
Those sets will only be on sale through July 20. Fox is making 5,000 of the numbered sets, which will include a special Comic-Con faceplate and a "lenticular letter" by show creator Joss Whedon. The sets available at Comic-Con will most likely feature some extra goodies.
If you're a
Dollhouse fan heading to the big show in July, I highly recommend picking one of these up and hanging around the hot dog vendors in the late afternoon. That's where I spotted Mr. Whedon during last year's Comic-Con. The man is very fan-friendly. He was nice enough to chat with me for a bit and even pose for a picture. Unfortunately, I went home without an autograph. I didn't have any copies of his
Buffy or
X-Men comics for him to sign, and I was too timid to ask him to sign my man breast. (Ah, opportunities lost.)
