Kevin Smith is a True Fan alrighty.


We have more confirmation that Kevin Smith is modding the San Diego Comic Con BSG panel on Saturday. That's the panel that is hopefully all "human/cylon" couples...in which one also hopes the very busy Mr. Eick will attend, since he was missed at The Dome last month completing the Wonder Twin pair of Eick-Moore.

Smith has posted on his myspace page to confirm...and here is a jealous James Hibberd talking it up:

Director Kevin Smith has agreed to moderate Sci Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" panel at Comic-Con. This could push the typically packed venue into fire marshal-shutdown level of geek engagement. Smith beat out several interested candidates for the moderating gig ... including myself (instead, I will moderate a panel for Sci Fi Channel's “Ghost Hunters." So, ahem: "Go 'Ghost Hunters'!"). Smith did a funny-bossy-affable turn as substitute co-host on "Ebert & Roeper" a couple years back so the panel-pairing of Smith and BSG's cast should be lively.

Lively? Oh yes. I can never re-post these vids too often, so please, let me do so again:

KEVIN SMITH MODERATING NEW YORK COMIC CON
BSG PANEL 2007
with James Callis, Tricia Helfer, Adam Stotsky

Part 1:



Part 2 and Part 3. Hilarious.

I hope some of you are getting just an itty bitty bit excited.

Meanwhile I have just discovered that my work duties will not allow me to attend this year's SDCC. *cries quietly in her coffee*

I have never seen these clips, so I guess you're right about not being able to post them too often.

Brilliant (referring to the panel and your site, thanks for updating so much)!

@jd: Glad to have enlightened yet another believer!

@b!x: I know, I know...it was almost worth quitting my decent-paying full-time job over.

But not quite.

at about 6:50 in the first clip you can see the marketing guy sitting next to Tricia Helfer gently pat her on her arm after about the 10th crude f*ck reference from that hideous no-talent slacker Kevin Smith ... no doubt he had warned her what to expect yet she graciously showed up and subjected herself to this crude immature slob

Kevin SMith is a hack that shouldn't be allowed near anything as great as BGS.

Geez, tough room. Guess Smith is a polarizer afterall. Who knew.

And...Um..."BGS"?
