While it's likely that the government will prefer a certain size for states, each state admission, territory organization and land ordinance is a different event in the timeline. Each one is a result of what's already happened in the timeline, and each one can cause further events in the...
Okay, in the other thread on the effect of a good prequel, I just said:

To add to this, I can think of a few that might get this done:
You could completely overhaul the style of the film. For example: have the...
Back on subject... I wouldn't see that huge of an impact by a few Sci-Fi movies in the late 90's, early 00's.
My Opinion:
The primary reason that the original Star Wars had the impact it did was because it was sooo different from what was in the theaters at the time. By the time of the...
The WI should really be "William Henry Harrison Doesn't Die Of Pneumonia."
The lack of a coat on inauguration couldn't have had much to do with his getting sick three weeks later -- this isn't the way infections work. He more likely caught a cold or flu the same way most people catch upper...
You mean, other than the Broadway musical and the Disney cartoon? Or, do you mean a BBC produced version? Although, it certainly would be nice to have a closer adaptation. I wonder why no one's ever tried to turn it into a Mini-series. That would be really cool...
I wonder if an extended space race could have brought us more or earlier technology as well. For example, it's my understanding that the military was talking about using satellites to create some sort of global navigation system, all the way back in the early '70's. Heck, for all I know, they...
This is based on a strange dream I had, and it made me curious if there were some parts that were possible.
Essentially, the challenge is this:
A three-way cold war by the end of the 20th century/early 21st century, between
the United States,
Russia and
some sort of unified Middle Eastern...
How about Irwin Allen -- instead of taking up Disaster Films in the 1970's, he decides to try out a fantasy TV Series. Suppose he's given a copy of the Lord of the Rings, or another early fantasy novel, and gets inspired.
And, considering how long it took them to walk from one end of the border to the other, if they were drunk the entire time...I'll leave that image up to you. (Not just walk, but walk a few yards, stop to take measurements, walk a few more yards, repeat)

There was also a huge dispute between Kentucky and Tennessee, due to the surveyors being allegedly drunk while figuring out their border (which from the eastern...
During the almost the entirety of Episode's I-III, Threepio and Artoo do not appear, and no mention is made of them. Instead, Jar Jar's scenes take the place of most of their comic relief. Bear with me, now. To help with this, somewhere during episode II they introduce another comic relief...
In the case of Shadow Wars, which is Lucas's story, Martin's novels might still be happening, maybe he's working on them on the side at the same time. But, since he's busy the first one might come out quite a bit later, with slightly different plot... hopefully for the better rather than the...
Another possibility: Sam Raimi comes out with an adaptation of some popular fantasy series (other than LOTR) in the mid-90's, alongside Hercules and Xena. He did do Legend of the Seeker in 2008-2010.
If he does do one in the '90's, when the syndication business is still good, then he probably...
