Another fangurl squee from me!
Last year was awesome! On the vid footage of the panel, you can see me, Rosie, Jessi, Gingi and a few others with us. It was a blast. I hope Adam shows this year, even though, to be honest, I'd attend this panel even if he wasn't there.
Last year~ you can see us at :16 and 2:22 (it sweeps across and you can see me, Rosie and Gingi, then Jessi in her "Badger" very fine hat!).

Watched the Chuck panel and was struck at how shy Adam acted in some of it. I know he was trying to play down
some of the fan response to him but he seemed a little too introverted. :)
We only got to walk with AB for maybe five minutes, but he seemed like a very down-to-earth guy.

I agree which is why his persona on the Chuck panel surprised me. His interactions with the Firefly cast seemed to be much more natural
than with the Chuck cast. These seem to be more on the line of people he works with and Firefly seemed to be best buds. He looked great
though and appears to enjoy where he is at this time in his life. :)
He is quite humble and a bit quiet-spoken, except when provoked or egged on, or imbibed the alcohol prolly. :spitdrink:
He is a TALL, stocky guy. I mean next to me, he is like a giant. Maybe he prefers to speak softly and carry a big stick, or come prepared with armed barbs.
I am so grateful some of our FF folks have found steady work. Too bad it can't be FF that's the work, but at least we had it.
/haven't watched panel yet

Were you at Comic Con, or did you watch the panel via video? If you did see a vid, where?
I'm still so exhausted from our trip...

Glad to see you back. I figured you were tired. No, I watched the vid of the panel on the NBC Chuck site. Adam got
a well deserved response from Fans which for some reason seemed to surprise some at the panel. He tried to play
it down a little by acting embarrassed and a bit bashful which made me smile. He knows he is better known than
those up there and it looked like he was trying not to out shine them and of course the fans gave him their usual
warm welcome. :laugh:
I'm used to seeing him on the Firefly panels when he acts like one of the gang and is more gruff and sarcastic and
plays with the others. He was very spiffed up on the Chuck panel in his white shirt and looked good and happy. I
think they said his son was in the audience so maybe that had something to do with it. :)
AB did get teased a lot for being the audience favorite. What I really wanted to do was go up and ask a question with my Fighting Elves shirt and Jayne hat on my head.... then ask a question to Zach and Josh Gomez. Alas, I was chicken.

Oh, you should have. Adam would have gotten a kick out of it. He has met you before hasn't he? Yes, definitely an
audience favorite and I was surprised some on the panel seemed surprised by that. I know Zach is aware of it and
wasn't surprised. I just thought it was amusing that Adam seemed shy about it. It appears that he tries to play down
his fame to the rest of the cast and gets a little embarrassed when it crops up. He knew that it was Firefly fans that
gave him that response and maybe the cast realized that the real draw to Chuck was him from his former fans.
I wanted to do something similar to what Tabin said...lol...cuz that room was FULL of Browncoats! heh.
When we were at the Paley center thingy, I told one of the young creator guys that last year at Comic Con, I did ONLY come for Adam...since I didn't know any of the other actors, and I knew I'd watch the show anyway, there was no reason for me to sit through the panel without him there. *there was talk that he MIGHT show up*. When it was clear he wasn't coming, I got up to leave, only to have the lights go down and have us 'forced' to watch the entire pilot! Oh my! How fun it was to see such a good show....I told this really nice young man, that, even though it was Adam that brought me to the show, it was the combined efforts of ALL of them that kept me watching. I would have liked to have somehow conveyed that to the group.

I agree, the rest of the cast is what is bringing me back too. It has turned out to be a really fun show and I think Adam
realizes to that the rest of the cast deserve just as much recognition so it probably embarrassed him just a little he got
so much attention. Which is nice to see since many actors with healthy egos have a tendency to think that is their due.
I got a kick out of the very surprised look the producers and writer had. Almost like "Hey what do we have here". I thought
to myself, "You mean you honestly didn't know". :laugh:

He has met you before hasn't he?
Yes, but I don't know if he recognizes me. I never really had a lot of face time with him. But on two occassions, he called me "rational". Weird compliment really, but cool because it's from him.
I definitely agree that a lot of fans followed Adam to Chuck - but the show itself and the cast as a whole is what kept people around. You can just tell from watching that the cast is having fun with each other.

I think Adam is probably very good with faces and he definitely remembers you from when you interacted on the
board hence the rational comment. :)
Yes, the fans of Chuck are there now for everyone which I think is why the cast as a whole may have been a little
surprised still for the response Adam got. I watched the vid of the panel on the Chuck site and saw the faces of Ryan
and Sarah who plays Ellie and they both had their mouths open when everyone exploded.
I also watched another vid on that site of Zach doing interviews with the cast after the panel and when Sarah aka Ellie
said that she felt the love in the audience and that they really really love Adam. Zach made the comment that yes
they did, maybe too much. That made me do a hmmm. I hope the others aren't jealous, since Zach is the star of the
show and since the show became popular enough to bring back I'm sure he feels that popularity is mostly due to him
but like Firefly this show is popular because of everyone on it. :)
I was just over at the Chuck board on NBC. Hate those kind of formats. They are awful for discussion groups but I
guess I've been spoiled. Noticed that everytime someone wants to start a thread it has to be run by the moderator.
Really controls things. Universal Firefly board is just the same. Ugh!
I also noticed on the Bones board that they too are very tightly controlled by a moderator. Since Fox boards, I thought,
were more lenient I was surprised by this. I guess the OB was a really special place or maybe other boards are more
tightly controlled because they don't want it to be an OB.
I could see Adam enjoying getting into discussions on a Chuck board but not with the format they have and probably
not with the type of people they have either except of course he would draw the type of people needed.
Just going around to the various boards and reading some of them is sad. We had something very wonderful once upon
a time but all good things come to an end. :(

We could celebrate by having a commemorative Firefly watching party, IN ORDER, but starting on the 6th anniversary of the premiere date. Holy moley, it has been THAT long!
