Adrianne Palicki SpaceConSA 2026

Other than a tire blowout on I10, the drive to San Antonio was uneventful.  The Wife and I found a safe space to pull over (a few miles down the road) and had the joy of changing a tire in the heat and humidity of San Antonio. I thought I changed my last tire decades ago. Teach me to think.

Friday morning, The Wife went to Discount Tire and got that taken care of while I worked SpaceCon.

My first autograph was Adrianne Palicki. I usually think of Marvel Agents of Shield and Supernatural when her name is discussed. I think most people associate her The Orville.

She had a very pretty light blue pen I liked. I asked for it to be used in the sky but after she signed, I should have asked her to sign in the sand. My bad.

After she signed, I mentioned SDCC. Yes, I am bad about name dropping those adventures. I told her I was a lucky winner of a secret lottery at SDCC. She didn’t know what I was talking about. And I’m sure she didn’t. She had people taking her place to place at SDCC. It was all back corridors that the crowds never walked. None of the celebrities knows what happens on the floor.

I continued and mentioned I had a winning ticket to the signing for the movie, Legion. Yes, a long time again. She smiled.  I still have my signed poster with Bettany and Gibson, and her autographs.

She said she loved working with Paul Bettany. she had a few more accolades about Paul. Which is great to hear as I like his movies too.

A Kaylon, a super big gulp, and a Pornstache walk onto the Bridge – Orville DragonCon 2019

DragonCon had three crew members from The Orville in the Walk of Fame (autograph area).

First up was Peter Macon. Yes, he looked very different out of make-up.  He was nice and he laughed as I picked up the photo of him wearing the pornstache. Peter said there was nothing more to say after seeing that. It makes a statement if not being iconic.

J Lee was next to Peter. I mentioned how I loved the first episode and that he brought large drink to the bridge.  Then asked if it was okay. We all have drinks at our desk at work. Of course crew members on a ship would want a cup of coffee or a soda nearby.  He said he forgot about that and needed to try to work that back into the show. We’ll see.

Mark Jackson was on the other side of room. He was quiet but friendly. He added the quote on his own.  He mentioned that originally, Isaac was supposed to have red eyes. Everyone agreed it was too scary. Blue was friendlier. Which worked out well when the Orville visited Kaylon and the true reason Isaac was gathering information was revealed.
