Yeah, SciFi was kicking themselves for not having planned a Eureka panel once they saw the ratings. (Lucky for Colin, they had booked extra hotel rooms, so he didn't have to stay out in La Hoya like the 4400 cast did.)
Anya ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Dude, when (and where) do last night's ratings come out? I know they're supposed to come out at noon, but I don't know what timezone.
I thought that they were already out. I saw them somewhere.
(Nevermind - I saw a post in TWOP with a link to yesterday's USA Today.)
La Hoya
La Jolla, which is a very very nice area (though it's not close to the Convention Center).
La Jolla
I am such an idiot. I'd been hearing the name spoken all weekend, and never connected the two. (But yeah, my main point was the 2-hour commute -- even in the back of a limo, that traffic had to be pretty brutal.)
Was it 2 hours due to traffic? It's not that far up the 5 from downtown. It should take about 15 minutes or so to get from La Jolla to downtown SD. Sorry if I'm being annoying - having lived in SD for a few years, I'm just curious.
Oh, don't worry about it. I only heard about it third-hand, but the traffic was BEYOND beyond insane that weekend -- same reason Kevin Smith showed up 6 hours late and missed his Q&A. (They did let him go on after Spidey 3, but I don't know if they announced it to anyone who wasn't already in Hall H at that point.)
Holy shit. That is terrible. I'm so glad that GF and I take the hit and stay close by. We were at the Marriot (not the one next to the con, but one in the Gaslamp about 2 blocks away). We usually stay in the Hilton across the street but we were too late getting a room there. Where did you guys stay?
We were at the Marriot in Mission Valley. Everywhere closer was sold out of the Con-rate rooms within a few hours. (And is it just me, or does SD have roughly twelve bajillion Marriots? They were like Starbucks!)
Yeah, there are like a million Marriots. And you're right about the rooms selling out quickly. Lucky for me GF keeps on top of this and is calling within minutes of the rooms opening up. What was your best item from the con (promo or otherwise)? For us, it was a Love and Rockets page purchased from Gilbert Hernandez for $200!! Score!
