Let me start by saying, I got there late. OK, I know. It didn’t even start until 4pm. So sue me. Anyway,…

ALDIS HODGE (Jake Talley) PANEL

I arrived just in time to miss the first few minutes of Aldis Hodge’s panel, but boy, was that a great panel to start the weekend off with! (No offense to the panels that came before, but, you know,… I missed ’em.) Aldis was a last minute addition to the line up and it was his first convention, but he handled himself like a pro.

April 15 has never been spent doing something so antithetical to taxes, at least for this fan.  Instead of stressing about my return, I, along with hundreds of other fans, were treated to a wonder panel on Dollhouse as part of the 26th William S. Paley Festival.

Even with Dollhouse facing the threat of cancellation, Joss Whedon scored his second straight sellout with his panel on the show, moderated by Matt Roush of TV Guide. That living doll, Eliza Dushku, was there, along with fellow dolls Miracle Laurie and Dichen Lachman, along with Fran Kranz aka Topher, and writers Sarah Fain and Liz Craft, who wrote two episodes. We were not allowed to bring digital recorders, and that included real internet reporters. So this report is mostly  paraphasing, but a fairly good account.
