SDCC'07: G4's coverage of the show.

And this should be the last San Diego post for this year.

I had a chance to see some of G4's coverage of the Comic Con. I have to say I was impressed by some of what I saw, not so much by other stuff I saw.

Both hosts appeared to be knowledgeable about comics. Whether this is because of personal knowledge or well-written patter by someone else who knows comics is unknown to me.

But they had to put digs in at comic fans. Yeah, I have been at a convention where some attendees did not shower as often as they should. I usually beat thme with a garden hose and then hose them down with it. But not all comic fans have the hygene habits of Jabba the Hut. So stop it with the jokes.

And Olivia Munn's interview with Neil Gaiman was painful. I was looking forward to it through most of the 2-hour show. She seemed like she was a small bunny trying to cross busy six-lane highway. She would ask Neil a question. Neil would answer the question with thought and in a somewhat slow manner. When they switched to a two-shot of her and Neil, she was almost bouncing up and down in her chair. You could almost read her mind: "Why is he taking so much time answering question A! I have question B to ask! Then question C! Oh, I wish he'd hurry up! If he's not done soon, I'm jumping in and asking question B anyway!"

I could be misinterpreting her body language. She might have been nervous interviewing Gaiman because she is a big fan of his. But it seemed the other way.

But I have to say one thing, it is good to see a network devote some much time and money to covering the convention.
