Room 634
Saturday:
The Middleman: This Panel Is Sheer Elegance in Its Simplicity
It passes the Bechdel Test (two female characters, who have a conversation not about men). It passes the Morales Test (non–stereotypical portrayal of Latinos). It's got everything from gun–toting gorillas to intergalactic boy–bands to Kevin Sorbo in a smoking jacket. And it's fun. Come talk about what makes The Middleman such a gosh–darn geektastic show and whether there's a hope in heck of getting it renewed for another season.
Location 623
Schedule Sat 10:00 - 11:15AM
Panelists M: Bill "whump" Humphries, Jeanne Mealy, Larry Sanderson, Naamen Gobert Tilahun
Reno in 2011 Party
Room 634
Sunday:
Battlestar Galactica: Our Sine Qua Non
Track(s) Reading, Viewing, and Critiquing Science Fiction
Now that our beloved show is over, let's talk about what worked, what didn't, what we were disappointed in, what we loved. The last half of season 4 had more twists than a labyrinth; let's try to work out the kinks a bit! Do you think the Cylons are, if not the bad guys, at least moral equals to the Colonials? Audience participation strongly encouraged.
Location Capitol A
Schedule Sun 1:00 - 2:15PM
Panelists M: J J Pionke, Britt Flokstra, Candra K. Gill, Anne Harris, Larry Sanderson
