Moving on to cons that actually happened *this* year, here's the first three days of San Diego Comic-Con 2009 in excruciating detail.

( You've been warned. Cheerleaders, Big Bang Theory, Bones, and the return of Indiana and Henry Jones, Sr! )

WHEE Emmy noms are out! A lot of the same stuff as always, but some new things that I am EEEE! about:

( Choreography, Comedy Series, Comedy Actor, Reality Host, etc: )

The Comic-Con programming schedule is starting to be posted (they've got an awesome search/filter feature this year) and EEEEEE. My Friday is looking *ridiculous* and that's not even taking into account the SW stuff if I have to work for Mary that day. Pretty much, if left to my own devices, I would sit in B20 all day, because they moved most of the big TV panels there (instead of 6CDEF, so hopefully there won't be too much line-standing involved, THANK YOU Comic-Con!) and there is BONES and BIG BANG THEORY and other stuff I don't mind sitting through to get to them!!! And of course Aaron's FOTJ panel is sandwiched right between Big Bang Theory and Bones, argh! Well, I haven't read Omen yet and probably won't have time before con, so maybe it's for the best.

Also there is a GLEE panel and screening on Saturday! (!!!!!!!!!!) And a Dr. Horrible/Commentary screening on Thursday night! (It does not say if the audience is allowed to sing too...)

But there is no Castle. Why no Castle panel, Comic-Con? WE WANTS IT.

ETA: Okay, I was just looking at the room maps, and did they flip the orientation of B20 around or am I just crazy? I swear the stage is on the opposite side.

Okay so YOU GUYS. Earlier this week, I read this article/photo gallery from EW about this week's NCIS episode, which they're setting up to spin off a new series...

...which will star LL COOL J and CHRIS O'DONNELL. You heard me.

So of course I had to watch it. And OMG, they *have* to pick this show up, you guys. They *have* to. Because it is golden. (I really can't imagine that they won't, since NCIS gets ridiculous ratings, and CBS looooves their procedurals. Hey, as long as they keep renewing HIMYM and BBT*, I'm happy.)

ANYWAY. Reasons why this show is awesome and must therefore be properly spun off:

1. Chris O'Donnell totally stole the "Reinventing Yourself as a Badass Crazyperson for Early 90s Heartthrobs" handbook from Brian Austin Green, and I am 100% on board with that. See? His character is supposed to be this ~amazing~ undercover guy who can become anyone, and who is so ~mysterious~ that he doesn't even know his own first name. YES. Hilarity potential = incalculable.

2. LL Cool J spends the entire show with this SUPER-INTENSE look on his face, even when all he was doing was manipulating their secret-agent version of the CNN Magic Wall, which of course is filled with video footage of bad guys instead of electoral maps. Picture, if you will, LL Cool J making his intense face while engaged in the SRS BSNS of...stabbing the screen with his fingers and *swooshing* videos from one monitor to another. Again, YES.

And there was some other stuff too, but I wasn't paying all that much attention. DEAR CBS, PLEASE PICK THIS SHOW UP. It will be EPIC.

* Yeah, I finally started watching BBT. It's annakovsky's fault; I dare you to read The Failure of Einstein's Universe and not fall in love with a) the show, and b) the pairing. I am but one of many who have now seen the light.
