Comic-Con 2011: Doc and Dan get totally 'Lost' with Damon and Carlton

Lost might have ended one year ago, but not all’s, well, lost. Not only did EW team-up with Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof for Comic-Con’s Lost: One Year Later panel, but the duo stopped by EW’s VIP lounge to talk about the dearly departed series and the “deleted” scene they premiered during the panel. As for their Twitter feud? Says Lindelof, “We do loathe each other, but the Twitter feud was a joke.” Click the jump to hear Lindelof and Cuse talk with EW’s Dan Snierson and Doc Jensen about their Comic-Con experience, whether they’ll be back from more Lost-centered panels in the future, and what we can expect from a Lost: Turn Off the Island musical.

Comic-Con 2011: 'True Blood' cast on wild fans, wild season, geeky interests

So far, the cast of True Blood has been having a bloody good time at Comic-Con. So when they stopped by EW’s VIP lounge, Kristin Bauer van Straten, Alexander Skarsgard, Alan Ball, Kevin Alejandro, and Nelsan Ellis talked about the weirdest things they’ve done for fans, and what geeky interests they have bitten into at the convention. (One cast member is obsessed with The Vampire Diaries. You may be surprised to learn which one!) And those True Blood fans might want to bite into the second part of EW’s two-part interview, during which the second half of the cast — Ryan Kwanten, Stephen Moyer, Deborah Ann Woll, Anna Paquin, and Rutina Wesley — discuss whether Bill and Sookie will ever happen, cage-fighting, and male nudity.

'True Blood': See the Comic-Con teaser here!

And here are the highlights from the True Blood panel at Comic-Con (moderated by EW’s own Tim Stack):

  • Alexander Skarsgard got a massive, Beatles-like reception from the crowd in Ballroom 20, even though the panel featured other hotties like Stephen Moyer, Kevin Alejandro, Nelsan Ellis and Ryan Kwanten (where’s the love, gals?). But where was Alcide and Sam? Joe Manganiello was off rehearsing a movie in Atlanta while Sam Trammel was in a hospital somewhere because he’s about to become a father.
  • Wondering how Eric made Pam? We’ll finally see how it all happened in season 5. READ FULL STORY »

Gratitude for choosing this blog post to find out about the Spartacus panel at Comic-Con, moderated by EW’s Adam B. Vary. We heard from the show’s cast, producers and even got to see a trailer (below).

– Okay, they start the panel by showing the Vengeance trailer. Honestly? It gives The Walking Dead trailer posted earlier today a run for its money. The show looks bigger and more… (I’m trying to avoid the word “epic” since EW readers have started hating the media’s overuse of that word but…) …more epic than ever before. (Riding horses? In a show shot entirely indoors on green screen? Impressive!)

– “It’s a great privily, a great honor, it’s a great responsibility,” says Liam McIntyre, about taking over the title role of Spartacus after Andy Whitfield dropped out to resume treatment for cancer. “I was a fan. I would have been sitting down there [in the audience]. All of a sudden, I find myself sitting up here. Everyone can agree Andy was amazing. The best thing I can do is bust my ass and honor that legacy trying to make season 2 as amazingly as exciting as season 1. And that’s all I can do.”

– Showrunner Steven S. DeKnight on Andy’s health: “He’s doing very well. He’s very private about his health. We have joked with each other about working together again — and then he says [he wants to do] something where he doesn’t take his clothes off.” READ FULL STORY »

Jack Harkness) and Myles (Gwen Cooper) remembered to stop and thank the fans for keeping the franchise alive and well in the U.S.

“It’s so easy to slip into Cooper’s leathers, they are so warm and sexy,” Myles told the crowd. “She is a wonderful character that I fond difficult to let go. To come back to her is a dream.” READ FULL STORY »

USA boss talks at Comic-Con about a possible seventh season of 'Psych'

Psych‘s season 6 doesn’t even have a solid premiere date yet (ETA: October), but at today’s Comic-Con panel in San Diego, the stars and production team had a positive outlook on the future of TV’s most spoof-friendly series, especially when creator Steve Franks spoke about the show’s plans for a musical episode.

“I’m a big liar because I promised [the fans] that the episode that shoots Monday was going to be the musical, but then I realized that you can’t write a musical in three weeks,” he told the crowd. “So it’s going to be the first episode of season 7.”

Exciting — except the show hasn’t been picked up for a seventh season. But that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be, according to USA Network co-president Jeff Wachtel, who spoke to EW after the panel. READ FULL STORY »

As usual, the cast and writers of Dexter were generous with teasers for the next season, which returns Oct. 2. Here’s what they spilled during their Comic-Con panel today in San Diego. (Check out the trailer with the awesome use of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” song after the jump):

  • Dexter (Michael C. Hall) begins the season with worries that the apple won’t fall far from the tree when it comes to his son, Harrison. Will the little guy be a killer, too? “That’s a fundamental fear that Dexter has, that’s where he’s at,” Hall told the crowd. “He knows he doesn’t want his son to show those traits and he doesn’t want to encourage them. That’s a constant fear and consideration.”  That’s where religion comes in! “His son is only going to get older and more in need of guidance, and Dexter feels ill-equipped to provide that. As a result he is motivated to find ways to do that, including giving him spiritual grounding .. something that Dexter hasn’t cared about.” Executive Producer Sara Colleton would like to add to that. “Dexter knows what he doesn’t want to pass on to Harrison, so he starts this journey that snowballs into a huge evolved plot for the season. It’s initiated by his desire to define faith … which is by it very nature, undefinable. It’s done in true Dexter style so it’s a lot of fun.” READ FULL STORY »

'Star Wars: The Clone Wars': See Admiral Ackbar fight in season 4 premiere's epic underwater battle -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

It’s a trap!

Okay, not really, but we have to say that every time Admiral Ackbar’s around. The lovable, on-the-nose-dialogue shouting, future Rebel Alliance leader is set to make his Clone Wars debut this fall on the season four premiere. In Return of the Jedi, we only got to see the fishy wonder leading his forces from the bridge of a starship. Two decades before the events of the original trilogy, Ackbar gets into the fray himself, leading his fellow squid-headed militants into an underwater battle on his aquatic homeworld of Mon Calamari. Check out this Comic-Con video of a blaster-wielding Ackbar, at this time just a captain, and answer for me this question: When did sushi become badass? READ FULL STORY »
