First off, i apologise if there is already one up. My search engine is not working so merge if necessary.

Now I attended SDCC this year for the full 4 days.

I spent 1 day in ballroom 20 (Thrsday - TV) and 2 days in Hall H (Friday/Saturday - Cinema). Sunday I walked around the exhibition hall.

Thursday

I saw the panels for

Burn Notice - It was attended by Bruce Cambell and Matt Nix. It was quite amusing with a number of laughs. We saw a bit of what the next season will bring as well as a behind the scenes of the TV movie the Fall of Sam Axe.

Psych - All the main cast and showrunners were there. It started off with the showrunner singing the the theme song and playing his guitar. The panel was full with almost all of the main cast and again humour was very present.

Covert Affairs - A very full panel for a show I had never heard of. Some bloopers were shown and sme scenes of the saeason.

Ringer - This will be a new show on the CW starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. It is a serial thriller with no sci fi elements to it. The full cast attended along with the producers. A trailer was shown.

Game of Thrones - This was definetely the highlight of the day for me and most of the crowd. Ballroom 20 was jampacked for this panel. The Pnel was moderated by George R. R. Martin and attended by some of the main cast and the showrunners. The most entartaining person in the panel was Jason Momoa who next to the other actors was quite imposing towering over most of them except for the actor portraying Jason lannister who was a couple inches shorter. They showed some images of the past season.

TV Guide Panel - This was well attended with some humourous banter between Zachary Levi (Chuck) and Jorge Garcia (Lost). One thing to note was that ironically Johnny Galecki almost seemed like he looked down on "Nerds".

Dexter - A well attended panel with very little going on. Most of the questions asked were idiotic.

Shameless USA - A well attedned panel with a very entertaining william H. Macy.

Homeland - A new show or not but again a well attended panel with a few jokes for the crowd.

I left after this panel. Regarding Thursday, the line to get into Ballroom 20 was not so bad, I got into line at 4 am and was able to sit about 5 rows from the front. The ballroon that sat 6,000 was full.

Other days will follow if there is interest for this thread. Let me know.
