Joel McHale, Nathan Fillion, And Matt Smith, Together At Last On A Single Comic-Con Panel


There are two ways of thinking about TV Guide‘s Fan Favorites panel at Comic-Con:

1. Yay for Joel McHale, Nathan Fillion, Matt Smith, Jasika Nicole, and Liam McIntyre being included.

2. HOW IS LORI FROM THE WALKING DEAD CONSIDERED A FAN FAVORITE???

The actress who plays the laundry-fretting mother of Carl, Sarah Wayne Callies, seems like an awesome, chill, and funny person, which are three words I would never use to describe Lori. Because she’s terrible. Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest: the aforementioned actors and actresses, as well as Maggie Q (Nikita), Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf), and David Biuntoli (Grimm) came together in the Indigo Ballroom to discuss…nothing in particular, actually. The panel was intentionally set up to bring together some (mostly) cool people who would otherwise never interact with another, which was fine with everyone who attended. McHale and Fillion stole the show, because they’re McHale and Fillion, while Smith said he’s up for appearing on Community and Nicole pitched herself a role on Homeland as a “sassy black lady.”

Everyone on the panel also revealed their favorite “geek out” show and something that no one knows about them. It was very issue-of-Cosmo, but hey, any excuse to hear Joel McHale talk about Spartacus is a good one.
