I finally spewed out my own Comic Con report to add to the masses that have been written. Some merchandise info, a few pics, the panels, yadda... read it here.

I'm at Comic Con, my first time. I don't think my feet will ever recover. Tonight SciFi sponsored airings of the new SG-1 and Atlantis eps in a ballroom that holds a thousand people, and it was packed! I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it in a crowd but...
