No Big Bang Theory Cast

[YouThinkMeMad]

Will the Big Bang Theory cast attend? | Sadly, no. CBS’ reigning geek squad will be MIA for the first time since the show’s launch. According to sources, scheduling was a contributing factor. Several of the show’s stars - including Jim Parsons - are off doing movies. (Parsons is in New York shooting Ryan Murphy’s Normal Heart). But SDCC won’t be completely Bazinga-free. A Q&A featuring the hit sitcom’s writers will be held Friday at 10 am in Ballroom 20.

Interesting. I'm sure this contributed to their move out of Hall H and back into B20.

Is it evil of me as a non-BBT fan to hope the cast doesn't come so I have an easier time getting into the Korra panel... Or am I just naive, and will BBT fans still come out in droves to see the writers?

 

PS - I realize BR20 is still gonna be packed to start the day with people waiting to see Shield, Bones, etc...

I think the fans might still show up thinking that there might be a surprise or 2...

I'm sure they will.  It is BBT after all.  Didn't Sheldon Cooper video conference in for last year's panel?  I recall hearing something like that happening.

One can dream that the lack of stars will at least make it a smidge easier to get in for Korra though.  If I line up at say... 7am.

I'd expect some sort of maybe pre-recorded "Sorry we're not there!" video.

Could also see them planted in the question line to mess w/ the writers...

That would be Great!

When do you guys think we need to line up for BBT in B20?

You're up against Korra, Agents of Shield and everything else in the room.  6am or bust.

This could be a good thing. Maybe we don't have to sit all day in the panel room to see the Big Bang Theory panel.

Hope I'll find the line on my first day then..

Don't worry the line is not hard to find. Before they open the doors there is just one line to get in the building(besides the Hall H line which is separate). Once you are in follow the crowd up the escalator and go toward the back of the building there are doors to go out and the Ballroom 20 line forms out there. They have people to direct you and if you meet people in line that are going there and have done it, just follow them.
Last year was my first year and I was worried about it too but it worked out fine and wasn't as difficult as I imagined. We lined up one night at 3 am and were 15th in line for Ballroom 20 but the next night we were lined up behind the Firefly crowd at 2 am but still got into the room. Good luck!

Just noticed/remembered its on Friday not Thursday. Stupid me. Thanks for the details about the line up! If someone is interested in having a line buddy for this day in BR20, let me know!
