A horde of 500+ fans packed the premiere of the second season of Legend of Neil Saturday night at Comic-Con. Braving the crowd and lines was well worth it. Creator Sandeep Parikh brought his star studded cast of web- celebs (including Tony Janning (Neil/Link), Felicia Day (fairy), Mike Rose (Old Man/Old Man), and Scott Chernoff (Gannon) to answer questions and be “ducking hilarious”.

Those lucky enough to attend were treated to the first three episodes of the new season (the first of which you can see here), including the rumored “musical” episode (fans have nick-named Gannon’s sing-a-long blog).

After an amusing intro in which cast members joked that the event was actually an intervention designed to slow Parikh’s alleged Comic-Con drinking binge, the Q and A following the screening moved quickly, with audience members and moderator Chris Albrecht (NewTeeVee.com) expertly quizzing the stars on their web hit.

Party Down with the Creator (Sandeep) and Mike Rose (the Old Man)

Nuggets of knowledge:

•    Chernoff hinted that the shadowy Gannon will have a full reveal later in the season, and noted that it was about time

•    The series is about 70 percent scripted, 30 percent improv by the talented cast

•    The script was hatched in a hotel room by Sandeep and Tony during a weekend in Palm Springs

•    Janning’s shoulder tattoo is a nod to his late grandfather

•    The musical episode (#9, coming to Atom in August), was a fun way to get Neil through multiple “levels” of the game quickly

•    Mike Rose channeled his inner “grumpy old man” to play his Old Man character

The highlight of the session came when one fan acknowledged a deaf fan and his translator, noting that it was probably the only time sign language had been used to translate the term “finger cuffs” (a lyric from Day’s raunchy segment in the musical episode 9 (preview here).

So after a year’s hiatus between seasons, Episode 7 is now available on our Legend of Neil channel. Check it out, and let us know what you think on the comment boards and in the LON forum.
