I have returned--exhausted--from another year of Pi-Con, an intimate scifi/gaming con that's held in Enfield, CT. I might get to a more general round-up of events, but promised the attendees of The Year in Great Speculative Fiction panel that I'd put up the great books, television shows, movies, and other miscellania that was recommended.
So, here ya go...
Panelists: 2012 Guest-of-Awesome Shira Lipkin, Pi-Con staff member Erin Whittey, Renaissance Man George Claxton, and I moderated.
I took "Moderator's Privilege" and decided to include items from roughly the past year and a half. Because I have That Kind of Power.
Below is the list by category. I've chosen not to list authors, because these items should be pretty easy to find by name. But if you need clarification on an item, want to correct something or vehemently agree or disagree, please leave a comment. I also invite my fellow panelists to tell me where I've erred.
Items in blue are those I found while researching this panel, but may not have made it into the actual discussion. I tried to keep track during the panel, but there are limits to my powers--even with the scepter. Items in red are those I recall our panelists being particularly enthusiastic about.
In no particular order...

| See my scepter? I really *do* have that kind of power. |
