With the Twilight fans out in full force, you would have thought there would be at least a modicum of spill over into the Vampire Diaries panel but it didn’t seem like that was true. The majority of people I met in line were there for the Mythbusters panel that was to follow and I’m here to tell you, it’s simply not the same audience.

The panel began with an airing of the pilot. I wish they’d show only an abbreviated version at these things because it really ate into the Q&A time with the panel after the fact. I felt bad for them, actually, because quite a few people groaned when they thought the pilot was over and it wasn’t. Really, folks, I get that you’re not interested in this panel, but you don’t have to be rude about it.

Last night on Warehouse 13, Artie met his match in a teenage whiz kid named Claudia. She’s smart, tenacious, and she’s desperate to find a place where she really fits in. Me thinks she may have found it. Allison Scagliotti joins the cast of the new Syfy series and she sat down with me to talk about it.

Claudia’s quite the mixed bag, isn’t she? How would you describe her?

Allison: Claudia’s a complex chiquita. She’s smart and sassy and kind of a child prodigy with IT.  She was orphaned at a young age with her brother and twelve years ago he was lost in a freak teleportation accident that involved an artifact.

But thanks to Claudia’s determination and Artie’s know how, he’s been rescued from that “neither here nor there” world.

Allison: Shooting that episode, while it was a major challenge time wise and with all the effects, was seemingly effortless because Saul Rubinek and I clicked immediately. It was like we’d been working together for thirty years and the writing — I just connected with it. I thought it was fantastic; it was not a difficult task to settle in. And Claudia is, witty, but she’s also; she’s passionate, she’ll go after her goals with 100% commitment. As you saw, she didn’t rest for twelve years trying to get her brother back, that’s actually a bit of a crisis that goes on after the episode-so small spoiler, Claudia trying to figure out what to do with her life.

The writers had said that they tried to take from something from the actors to put into the stories. Is there anything of you in Claudia?

Ghost Hunters International:

Skeleton In The Closet

Air Date: July 29 at 9 p.m. on Syfy

Ghost Hunters International (GHI) continue on their paranormal worldly ventures – this time to the Czech Republic as they visit Castle Krumlov.  The castle has a long list of ghost stories associated with it, my favorite being the tale of a young woman who murdered herself on stage when she found out that her leading man didn’t love her.

Then it’s off to Ireland for a visit to a once occupied royal home said to still be haunted by the original lord of the manor. GHI will debunk truth from fiction as they try to communicate directly with him.

Joss Whedon and the cast of Dollhouse made a big splash at Comic Con with the airing of the mysterious Epitaph One episode. But what I really want to know about is that postcard that FOX handed out at their booth. It’s called Virtual Echo and it says that if you aim a webcam at the design on the back, you’ll unlock an app that “takes Echo out of the Dollhouse and brings her to your computer.”

I don’t have a webcam (believe it or not) so I can’t test it. Has anyone tried it? I’d love to know if it’s as cool as it sounds. Meanwhile, here are some great photos courtesy of Fox.
