Last month we got an email from the Sci Fi publicity folks and, had it not been for the email address, I may have thought it was a joke. We were being invited to tour the sets of some of the most popular shows on the Sci Fi Channel, along with an unknown number of other digital press representatives, sort of out of the blue and on somewhat short notice. Thousands of miles and weeks later, I think I'm still in shock that it really happened.

I want to give you what I think will be a different perspective on the trip, one that's less about the "scoop" everyone hopes to hear and more about what it's like to be a fan of these shows and have such a unique opportunity like this; the sights, the sounds and hell, even the smells. "For television fans, by television fans," that's what TV Squad has been about all along.
