Motor City Comic Con 08 Experience

Last weekend was another great time at the annual Motor City Comic Con. As always, there were a lot of great media guests, eccentric fans dressed as random characters (most were cringe-worthy), loads of comic artists and creators, and vendors packed together like sardines.

My first stop at the media guest tables this year was Cliff Simon, who plays the character “Ba’al” on Stargate: SG-1. He was very friendly and sweet. My crush on him definitely grew after that experience. His South African accent aided that too. Cliff also talked to us a bit about the upcoming Stargate: Continuum movie. He wouldn’t tell us what happens to his character. But when I asked about the clones, he did say that there wouldn’t be any others left by the end of the movie. He seemed excited about the premise, where his character travels back in time to stop the Stargate program from ever happening.
