Philadelphia Comic Con Coverage, For Losers Like Me

As many of you may or may not know, this weekend Philadelphia, PA. is host to a ton of Trek & non-Trek stars alike. Another in the series of Comic Cons that seem to be spanning the US this year, the Philly Comic Con is giving us an amazing roster of captains, omnipotent beings, emissaries, & androids.

We were very fortunate to have a friend of the site cover the con for us. Camile, one of our good friends on twitter, lives in Philly and was kind enough to snap several photos for us and even video a Q&A session with none other than Brent Spiner.

The video is segmented into parts 1 & 2 7 parts, and starts after The Shat crashed the panel. Lots of fun and a very special treat for those of us who missed the con.

"I feel that I have left behind a legacy as Picard" Says Patrick Stewart

"I feel that I have left behind a legacy as Picard" Says Patrick Stewart

Even with his $200 photo-ops, Patrick Stewart was particularly popular at this year's Dragon-Con.  That's probably because he doesn't make the convention rounds as much as other Star Trek actors.  Didn't he retire from Conventions 15 or so years ago?  Anyway...
