Comic-Con candids!

SAN DIEGO (LN.COM)—Star Trek itself did not plant a big footprint at Comic-Con, but Treklanders were all over...

Like David Goodman, his Enterprise writing stint over not long before he became Seth McFarlane’s head honcho for Family Guy—a Comic*Con favorite of the big rooms, of course—and these pages, too....













..or the big room crowd Rod Roddenberry (fourth from right) and Co. had for the debut of the Days Missing comic with Archaia Comics













… Or the Trek vets who are swelling the ranks of the writing staff of fantasyland on Legend of the Seeker, like head writer Ken Biller (on the big screen)…
… plus fan2pro Mike Sussman, here (second from left) with fellow Seeker writers—but absent former science advisor-turned-scripter Andre Bormanis, who just came aboard for Seeker’s Season 2.

Star Trek itself? There was the Paramount Home Entertainment booth—always busy this year. Here, Wrangler Joyce heads up a line of over 100 (!!) patient fans on preview night: with her souvenire foam Vulcan hand in, uh, hand, she’s about to take them in small groups from the back wall staging area over to the PHE booth 8 yards away, where …

..they stand in line for a seat in the Kirk Prime chair—before the Kirk Sub-Prime bridge backdrop?—a pic with more Orion slave girls, and a shot at more freebies!

We missed the pics, but Saturday morning also featured a twin bill: Ron D. Moore and the next generation of Galactica via Caprica, as Brannon Braga meanwhile helped preview his new series Flash Forward (with John Cho). And all those other Trekland actors? They were everywhere.


UPDATE: ... including Robbie McNeill, part of our big Trek2Chuck connection … and that lucky duck, er, doc, Bob Picardo
