SDCC: Science to host Firefly panel

Science (the channel, not the discipline) will be hosting one fantastic sounding panel centered on the late, great sic-fi epic- Firefly. There's a bunch more too, but come on- you know this is the one you want to hear about.

Friday, July 13th at 12:30pm. Be in attendance in room 20.
For the first time ever, SCIENCE will bring together the cast from the beloved but short-lived series, FIREFLY.  Captain Mal and his team will descend upon San Diego 10 years after the sci-fi western first hit airwaves and triggered a fanatical following.  Since making its debut on SCIENCE in 2011, FIREFLY has become an audience favorite, attracting an army of both new and veteran Browncoats to the network.  Join creator, executive producer and writer Joss Whedon, alongside fellow executive producer and writer Tim Minear, and cast members Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin,Sean Maher, Michael Fairman and the rest of the crew of Serenity for one of this year’s the most anticipated panels on Friday, July 13, at 12:30 PM (PT). 
Okay so other than that, what is there to see at Science? Plenty actually, including a Dark Matters panel with none other than John Noble of Fringe fame. Fun fact- Fringe will be dimensional shifting its way to the Science channel this November, marking its cable TV debut.
