What did we chat about at the Open Programming Meeting?
We had a second open programming meeting a while back to discuss what people would like to see in the program in 2019.
Here’s some of the things that came up in the wide ranging discussion.
How does the new series of Lost in Space compare to the original series and the feature film?
Imagining how some of our favourite character’s stories continued, what if several creative people put forward their thoughts on what happened to Counselor Troi, what were the further adventures of Nyssa, what happened to Heath on The Walking Dead?
What are our favourite reboots?
Roseanne is back, Will and Grace is back, Full House is back, Picard is coming back - who else what we like to return?
It would be great to have an old school paranormal romance panel.
A competition where you write a short story to match a picture.
Dave Cake’s Cyber Crime presentation was great, more things like this.
The program should be locked off much sooner - weeks before the convention is on.
What is the Road to Lovecraft?
Storytelling is getting faster - how fast will it get.
April 19th 2019 will be the 10th anniversary of the death of JG Ballard.
Panel idea - looking back on 1999
Panel idea - Does classic TV hold up?
Panel idea - TV series that were set in a future that is now in the past
Panel idea - 81 years of Superman
We’d like to get more regular communication from Swancon
