Season 4 Highlights from Vikings – San Diego Comic Con 2

With my covering Vikings for the past four years, its evident the cast enjoys their annual visit to Comic Con. Their appearances have become one of my most anticipated events during the busy convention, and the entire cast takes the time to show their appreciation to their fans. This year, there wasn’t a formal press room but I had the opportunity to attend the panel. Here are my key highlights, and the session was so much fun that I nearly felt as if I was attending a celebration in Kattegat’s great hall.

Video: <i>iZombie</i> – SDCC Press Room Interviews with EPs and the Cast 6

Going into this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, iZombie had already aired its first season finale, leaving fans wondering how things will play out in the upcoming second season. Normally, talking to executive producers is either informative and fun or painstakingly brutal. I absolutely adore Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggerio-Wright, both of whom are also writers on iZombie. Their fun chemistry and collaborative friendship lend to the smart, sarcastic, and entertaining dialogue the cast of the show gets to act out each week.

The CBS press room at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con could easily be described as a bit of a zoo; perhaps it’s a simple coincidence that Zoo is also the name of one of CBS’ new summer series. I don’t think I’ve ever been inside a press room that included so many different shows—Limitless, Under the Dome, Zoo, Scorpion, and Extant. While I didn’t get to talk to each show’s actors or even the executive producers, there were several interviews I did get that really impressed me, as follows.

After a seemingly failed attempt to destroy The Master (Robert Maillet) in the season one finale, “The Master,” our intrepid vampire hunters led by the elderly but wise Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley) must figure out other ways to destroy these creatures, aka “Strigoi,” in order to stop The Master once and for all. As season two begins, the tone seems more desperate and angst ridden as CDC doctors Eph Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro) try to use their skills to develop either a vaccine or cure for the disease plaguing New York. Meanwhile, our favorite Ukrainian exterminator, Vasiliy Fet (Kevin Durand), is ready to take his beloved city back, building by building if need be.
