6:00-7:00 Babylon 5: The Lost Tales-Created by J. Michael Straczynski in 1993, Babylon 5 became an sf cult fan favorite and a top rated show. Now in 2007, you are being taken to 2271 A.D. for Babylon 5: The Lost Tales, a made-for-video movie. See footage from the movie with a panel to follow. Panelists include writer/director/executive producer J.

12:00-1:00 The 4400-Get a sneak peek of upcoming scenes from The 4400, CBS Paramount Network Television's hit sci-fi series for USA Network, during a panel discussion led by TV Guide West Coast editor Craig Tomashoff with series stars Billy Campbell (Jordan Collier), Chad Faust (Kyle Baldwin), Megalyn Echikunwoke (Isabelle Tyler), Jenni Baird (Megan Doyle), and executive producer Ira Steven Behr (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and supervising producer Craig Sweeny (Medium). In season four of The 4400, widespread distribution of the drug promicin has created a dangerous new world, a world in which special abilities are no longer the exclusive province of the 4400. Fifty percent of those who take the shot pay the price with their lives, while those who survive are now ostracized by a government determined to rid the world of promicin forever.

2:30-4:00 Starship SmackdownTM Ultimate Episode 4: The Final Showdown-A Comic-Con favorite returns with ships, aliens, computers, robots, oh my!

Watch as the Enterprise battles Gort, Robby the Robot goes mano e mano with Hal 9000 and Death Star does the Klingon Empire. It's the ultimate conflagration for the supereme winner of Starship Smackdown. Be there as we celebrate our tenth year at ComiCon. This time it's war with our expert panel of spaceship-ologists including Robert Meyer Burnett (director, Free Enterprise); Chris Gossett (creator, The Red Star); Steve Melching (writer, Star Wars: Clone Wars, X-Men Animated, The Batman); Daren Dochterman (Hollywood conceptual designer on Get Smart, X2, Master & Commander); Jeff Bond (editor, Geek Monthly); and the Richard Dawson of the stars, moderator Mark A. Altman (producer, DOA: Dead Or Alive). It's Starship Smackdown, Robot Rumble, Alien Armageddon and Computer Crashdown all in one 90-minute panel! Our prediction for the fight ... pain! Room

Installments? Plural? | Report this post to moderator

I am also in San Diego, so please... all you stormtrooper wannabes with your limited visibility helmets? Look out for the trolleys! They are bright red in color and still you guys seem to almost get nailed every year, hehe

Anyway, did the article above imply there were installment(s) of the Indiana Jones movie.. plural? They do realize Harrison Ford is 65 years-old right? Gosh, getting him in an Indy movie a few years from now would be as disasterous as propping 76 year-old, 275 pound William Shatner in front of cameras to play Kirk again! Oh wait.. some people love that idea...

Wow. I've always wanted to visit San Diego. This sounds like it would be a pretty good excuse. : )

There once was a man named Scorned,

whose posts were more offensive than porn.

He posted one too many,

got kicked out on his fanny,

and all the while he had been warned.
