When it comes to Comic Con, visuals are often better than words. So with that in mind, I headed to Comic Con 2012 with a camera determined to bring the experience of True Blood at Comic Con to all of you who couldn’t be there with me. Saturday at the convention required me to spend the day in Ballroom 20. Being a fan of television in general, I was more than happy to oblige given the range of television panels I had the privilege of watching.
True Blood was the last panel of the day which was about hour 7 for me. Thanks to my camera I was able to get stage and screen shots which is not easy considering I was in a room with 5,012 people. I was relatively close, sitting in the last row of the first section on the left side. However, I still had to deal with the obstacles that stuck with me all of Comic Con, getting past everyone’s heads and arms while trying to get good video and photos and trying not to obstruct the view of people behind me.
I won’t give you a blow by blow of the panel since you can watch it below. But some of the highlights for me included:
* The sheer energy of fellow True Blood fans as they welcomed the main cast and creator Alan Ball to the stage.
* Alexander Skarsgård (Eric Northman) coming on stage with Kristin Bauer van Straten (Pamela Sywnford de Beaufort) on his arm only to have Kristin run back off stage when she realized she hadn’t been introduced yet.
* Joe Manganiello (Alcide Herveaux) teasing fans by almost taking off his shirt and later walking upstage to throw money all over Alan Ball after he did a body roll.
*Ryan Kwanten (Jason Stackhouse) doing a hand stand across the stage
* The entirety of Ballroom 20 giving Alan Ball a standing ovation at the end of the panel as he marked the end of his time as True Blood showrunner.
So with that I will let you watch the videos below and view the photos. I’m aware that the videos can be hard to watch since I spent time alternating between the screen and the stage and because I’m not the best videographer in the world. If anyone feels the need to comment on this, please don’t. I’m very much aware of the issue. Enjoy!
