Has it evolved since the original Star Trek?Friday 7:00pm - Challenges For New WritersInterruptions, interruptions, interruptions -- how can new writers stay focussed? Are websites, blogs, and newsgroups helping or hindering new writers? What about writers workshops? When do you know you're established and no longer new?Saturday 2:00pm - Military vs. Civil Authority: Do You Trust Adama or Roslyn?

The panel examines this conflict, a key element in the new Battlestar Galactica.Sunday 11:00am - Is Lost SF or Paranoid Realism?(Warning: spoilers) Is Lost speculative or just a paranoid delusion?

Where are we going -- and is it anywhere other than down?
