In her on going post-coverage of Vegas Con 2009, Nathalie Caron from Inside Trekker recaps the Leonard Nimoy & William Shatner panel from the last day of the convention.  Revealed, among other things, was The Shat's agreement to finally see Star Trek XI if his old buddy Nimoy 'brings the popcorn and holds his hand'.

While others toil away at their hum-drum jobs, heroes are out there doing what needs to be done for the rest of us.  Well, maybe that was a bit over dramatic.

Thanks to contributor A.J. Gonzalez for taking some photos while he traverses the perils of Comic-Con.  We salute you sir!

Are you missing Comic-Con and basically ever other convention this year, just like me? Duh-d-d-daaah! The internet to the rescue! We've found a great resource for all your Comic-Con photo needs. Yes, we know the con just started, but we like crying in our cereal really early in the morning

MovieWeb has a fantastic Photo Gallery here. We've post a few samples below.

Star Trek writers Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore (Star Trek Vanguard Series, Starfleet Corp of Engineers Series, + Many others) headed down to Oklahoma over the weekend for the 20th anniversary Trek Expo in Tulsa.  Dayton recently posted his Trek Expo re-cap on his blog and since we didn't get to go we thought it a good idea to share the post with all the rest of you that missed out.

I'm a bit late getting this posted, but here we go:
