Franklin Mainstream Zombies: the Walking Dead Panel with David Clink, Stephanie Bedwell-Grime, and Adam Blendick
The television
adaptation of The Walking Dead is arguably the most mainstream zombies have
ever been – and they don’t even call them zombies! Whether the show
measures up when compared to the classic image of the zombie, or even to its
own source material, is the meat of the debate in this panel. Also on the slab
will be what makes zombies so popular, and just how original this story truly
is.

What if the Vikings had successfully settled Atlantic
Canada? What if Louis XV had kept Quebec
in the Treaty of Paris in 1763? What if the war of 1812 had a different
outcome? Or if the Red River Rebellion had resulted in an independent republic of Assiniboia? What would our country look
like today? This panel examines the options.
Saturday 11
am Ellsemere East Creating a Successful Alternate History with Derek Kunsken, Stephen Hunt, Neil Jamison-Williams and Ed
Greenwood.
When we talk about alternate histories, Steampunk is an
obvious standout, but there are countless ways of using the principles of
alternate timelines in fantasy and science fiction. By combining thorough
research with a few basic rules of thumb, we can re-examine our present by
rewriting our past.
