great reports everyone. just out of curiosity when people have said serenity was havinglazers shot at her, did anyone notice whether or not there were acompanying sound effects or is it still silent in space?

i dont recall any "space" shots at all. the only shot of serenity was when she was being chased and fired on by a rather BIG ship. That looked to take place in the atmoshpere of a moon, or planet.(cant tell which)

Zoe in SPANDEX? Oh, MY! - I'll be in my bunk...
I do hope she wears the leather top from the series, though. Very hot...
Perhaps Summer and the reaction to shoes comes from her dancing; ballet is hard on feet, I understand. I'd a whole lot rather see her barefoot than wearing the mongo-huge boondockers she wears dancing before the kidnap scene. (Am I the only person in the world that thinks women in skirts with ugly boots is just a horrible look?)

...they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sew our skins into their
clothing - and if we're very, very lucky, they'll do it in that order.

Thanks for all the shiny reports (& spoiler warnings) everyone! Thanks for the quick reports Shiny and SpaceMonkey. This helps make up for the fact that I could not be there in person.

Yes, these reports do make up for the fact that many of us couldn't be there. Maybe some day the BDHs will come visit the East Coast? Pleeeease? We don't bite -- much -- and we kin be right friendly-like and accomodatin'. Even in New York City!
Also, after reading that Universal suits were (maybe) there, I plan to support advertisers and anything else Universal-related as much as possible. Rah, rah, Universal! We heart you! Their forward-thinking vision is making the BDM happen.

Personally - I'd much rather see a dress with big-ass boots then hip-huggers and lingerie tops. Just cannot like that combo - glad to see River with a jacket on, though!
edit - Um, oops - I meant Summer!!

Huge crowd! Hall 20 can hold 4300 people and I think it was almost completely full by the time Joss and crew came on stage. A fair number of browncoats from one board or another were all in line by 9:30am although the Serenity panel wasn't until 1:00pm. As soon as they opened the hall we rushed in and grabbed the best seats we could. Cathy and I were in row six, with quite a few browncoats in front of us.
I basically sat there all morning saving seats while my wife wandered in and out. Some of those panels I had to sit through were just horrid. But I won't name names...
Now for the good stuff. Joss walked on and the hall erupted into applause, whistles and cheers, including a standing ovation. It took him a minute or so to regain his composure and for us to quiet down.
The first thing he did was show us the TRAILER! Awesome stuff, but I'm not even going to try to talk about it since it was basically all spoilers. Then our BDH's came on stage to another huge ovation. I couldn't take it all in, but at least Sean and Summer seemed fairly overwhelmed by the response.
The rest of the panel was a Q&A, most of which I can't remember but there was one section where Joss asked each cast member to explain what they liked the most about their character. He also asked them each to tell what they liked the least about Jewel
Here is what I wrote down, at the time about each one. Any errors in these quotes are strictly mine.
Gina: I like my gun. It's a very sexy gun. She also liked the fact that her pants had spandex in them.
Alan: He gets to be the one who says 'Lets put the guns down and try to avoid violence' (most of the time )
Adam: "What is life without work." Bottom line kind of guy, cut the bull. He started to say 'bullshit', but stopped halfway and asked if he could say that. The crowd responded 'YES'.
Nathan: Even in the thick of battle you knew you could always turn to the Captain and know that he has the legs of a dancer. (Honest! That's what he said!)
Jewel: Warmth. No beef with anybody on the ship. Relationship with the Captain. Can give him shit without him blowing up at her.
Morena: (Sorry I didn't write anything coherent.)
Summer: River can do anything. Summer mentioned early in the series how she wanted River to have a gun, then by episode 10 she has one. She is shooting for the captaincy.
Sean: Dislikes his tight pants. Love for his sister. "I love you Summer!"
Ron: Humor, conviction, unpredictability. Least like about Jewel: her frequent absence.
There was one time where Joss said something like "I didn't tell Adam this from the beginning but Jayne is Firefly's Cordelia". First Adam said, 'Yeah I can see that now", then he said "Who is Cordelia?", so he and Nathan started this long and Hi-larious pantomime where Nathan does the hour-glass outline, then mimes opening a centerfold, at which point Adam say "Oh! Now I remember!" Much laughter in the audience.
There was a lot of joking about everyone calling Morena stupid until finally Adam said something about it being easier for a smart actor to act like a dumb person than a stupid actor act like a smart person. At which point Morena stood up and started to walk away but Joss intercepted her and gave her a hug, and escorted her back to her seat. Then he went over to Adam and gave him an inaudible speech. All was done in a spirit of fun! Morena was smiling the whole time.
When they were each talking about what plans they had for the future, Gina started with "First I'm going to finish Serenity...." When it was Nathan's turn he said "I'm not leaving Serenity, I'm going to live there." Then he joked about spin-off's he was going to start. Mal's Browncoat Brigade (or something like that), or Mal the Early Years. Most of them mentioned looking for work!
I have pictures that I'll go through and see if I have anything that hasn't already been posted. I also have ten short video clips, but they are small and grainy. Not sure if they are worth posting or not.

Thanks for the reports, pix, general fan obsessiveness. I'm wallowing.
