Been There, Done That - Which Media Series Gets Time Travel Right?   (1 Hour - Expert Panel - Rating: G)
Jessica Bunn, Tom Lee, Jonathan Fesmire, Mike Suess. Time travel. Every Star Trek series has dealt with it at least a handful of times. It's been a part of Stargate, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Charmed, Babylon 5, and countless others. Even Star Wars has characters who can see the future. So why does mainstream television and movie sci-fi dip into the time-travel well so often, even with premises that don't seem conducive toward it? Which series do it right, and which do it wrong? Is time travel so popular with series creators because it makes good stories, because fans love it, or because it's easy?
