447 Papercraft Workshop Hancock (2W)
k A piece of paper and some instruction are all you need to create
creatures interesting to our younger fans. Origami swans and
such are still a lot of fun to make, but there have been a lot of
additions to the art of crafting creatures and characters out of
paper. For instance, Minecraft aficionados can get into creating
their favorite Minecraft characters using Papercraft from http://
minecraftpapercraft.com/. Are there any other paper crafts that
would appeal to the younger audience? Guillermo Zeballos

“Whose Line Is It Anyway?”, we’ll play, pretend, and get random
together. You’ll be surprised by how fast you can think and how
creative you can be. No acting experience required, only the willingness
to be silly. Emily Simon (m), Lorelei Erisis
450 In Which the Author Has Run Out of F!?ks to Give Marina 1 (2E)
Often, over the course of a long series, it becomes clear that
the author has run completely out of f!?ks and is spinning their
wheels. You can almost see the departure of the last f!?k the
author had to give. Let’s discuss series that continue way past
the exhaustion of inspiration. Shira Lipkin (m), Victoria Janssen,
Daniel Miller, Meredith Schwartz, Eric Zuckerman

452 Doctor Who: State of the Doctor 2016 Marina 3 (2E)
After a shaky start, Peter Capaldi has proven himself an eminently
capable Doctor, and Michele Gomez an excellent Master.
But Steven Moffat is still an incredibly inconsistent showrunner,
and is losing castmember Jenna Coleman. Is Doctor Who back on
an upswing? Did we really need the return of River Song? Where
do we feel the show is headed. Join us for one of our most popular
recurring panels, a look at the state of the BBC’s most famous
genre show. Hildy Silverman (m), Phillip Hallam-Baker, Andy
Hicks, Santiago Rivas, Dan Toland
453 Holy Golden Anniversary, Batman! 50 Campy Years Marina 4 (2E)
2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the Batman TV series, a
campy show that’s indelibly imprinted on many producers of
pop culture today. Some critics (including NPR’s Glen Weldon)
suggest all modern Batman interpretations (in the comics and on
the screen) are still reacting to this show, but its influence clearly
goes beyond just the Batman mythos. We’ll talk about the first
great superhero TV show, including everything we loved about it,
and all the things that make us cringe. Keith R. A. DeCandido (m),
Michael A. Burstein, Ed Fuqua, Craig Shaw Gardner, Abby Hafer,
Mercy E Van Vlack
