PIE SPOILERS!!!

Now that we have a prospective time for the Dollhouse panel at Comic-Con (thanks for the link love, Watch with Kristin), it behooves us all to try to piece together what shows are grouped together by room.

Typically speaking (although there are exceptions), panels are one-hour long with a fifteen-minute gap between them. So, if the “noonish” reported for the Lost panel actually is 12:00 PM, then figuring this out becomes tricky. However, if “noonish” turns out to mean 11:45 AM, we could end up with a partial Saturday schedule that looks something like this.

Begin Speculation

• 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
• 12:45 PM to 1:45 PM: The Office
• 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM: TBA
• 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM: Pushing Daisies
• 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM: either Fringe or Eureka (see below)

• 11:45 AM to 12:45 PM: Lost
• 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM: Dollhouse
• 2:15 PM to 3:15 PM: Battlestar Galactica
• 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM: Chuck
• 4:45 PM to 5:45 PM: either Fringe or Eureka (see below)

End Speculation

You can see the open questions here. For one thing, the Heroes panels is slated for 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM, and that doesn’t fit either of these possible schedules, given the premise of a one-hour panel and a fifteen-minute gap. There’s something fishy as well about this potential split leaving an empty space from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM without any apparent show to drop into such a slot. In addition, I suspect that either Fringe or Eureka will turn out to be not at 4:45 PM but at 4:30 PM and therefore go in that first grouping.

Obviously, some of this speculation isn’t based merely upon the typical one-hour/fifteen-minute pattern but on something approximating an ideal schedule for, well, me.

If the Saturday schedule turns out to put Lost, Dollhouse, Battlestar Galactica, Chuck, and (say) Fringe all in the same room together — well, my bladder might not be particularly happy with me when it’s all over with, but it would certainly justify my expense in going to Comic-Con at all.

Update: Watch with Kristin now has slotted the Lost panel into 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM, rather than the earlier “noonish”. This would mean it can’t be in the same room as the Dollhouse panel, since that reportedly starts at 1:00 PM.
