  1. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    I gonna throw a bone that Turtledove had saw the James Cameron movie (which he also mentioned in that time-viewer story) and concluded that it was over-dramatic and overdone, so he decided not to touch on the ship in any of his stories ever.

  2. TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    It is strange from trying to find it on the Turtledove wiki is that the sinking still happened in all of his works. Or that maybe the Titanic was never made. I see this as a big miss opportunity for Turtledove to make something out from the Titanic.

  3. Days of Infamy: Invasion, Occupation, and Liberation of Hawaii (1941-1943)

    I was speaking on the topic of every Japanese-American that could be severely affected by the stigma from the Hawaii occupation. I can be certain that the US military will not embrace the idea of recruiting Japanese-Americans (both in Hawaii and on the mainland) because of how bad the PR coming...

  4. Days of Infamy: Invasion, Occupation, and Liberation of Hawaii (1941-1943)

    I have no doubts that Japanese-Americans who originally enlisted in the US Army in our history will never get that chance here. I fear that the 442nd Infantry Regiment will never be conceived. I can also imagine that George Takei of Star Trek fame will be more bitter growing up, and might never...

  5. Autumn in America: A TL-191 Continuation

    I guess they would have until Featherstone’s crimes were made public. The Union feared of the massive PR repercussions if they did follow what the Nazi red necks did. I believe HT would have made the Union more authoritarian (under the very puritanical Christian Presbyterian neat-freak Gordon...

  6. Autumn in America: A TL-191 Continuation

    Mainly because of TD making them Al-Qaeda knock-offs and “people-bombing” by the numbers. Honestly I have issues with how the Mormons practice in real life, but TD wanting to find another parallel to Japanese kamikazes in 191 by making the Mormons (of all people) as their replacement is...

  7. Autumn in America: A TL-191 Continuation

    Since you said that black people in the books are now very bitter and cynical for good reason, is it likely possible that a version of the Nation of Islam or some black-centric religious institution with very militant feelings towards racist whites, or at least a secular organization with...

  8. Autumn in America: A TL-191 Continuation

    I am going to get the impression that Evangelical Christianity (the real nutty kind that reads Tim LaHaye’s “Left Behind” as part of their gospel) won’t become popular in this timeline?

  9. What is the most dystopian AH work ever created?

    Anyone remember “Christian Nation” by Frederic C. Rich? It was written to be a big jab at John McCain’s decision to pick Sarah Palin as his Vice President and how having an ultra-evangelical Christian in the White House to be a very bad idea. In this story McCain became President but died...

  10. Days of Infamy: Invasion, Occupation, and Liberation of Hawaii (1941-1943)

    I agree it would be very likely as they were widely use in Asia and Japan during the war and it wouldn’t be any different in Hawaii.

  11. Days of Infamy: Invasion, Occupation, and Liberation of Hawaii (1941-1943)

    Really? I can imagine the IJA did that out of spite because how much they hated their IJN rivals. Still Genda had to bike when his fleet were annihilated and fuel were prepared for the counter-invasion. I’m trying to remember if rickshaws were used in the books.

  12. Days of Infamy: Invasion, Occupation, and Liberation of Hawaii (1941-1943)

    They did. It is shown in the book that Genda of all people had to use a bicycle than being escorted in a personal government car. This is one of many signs how utterly screwed the Japanese were.

  13. Code Geass Lorebuilding

    Australia I can find a reason for it is based on a Deviant Art CG fanfic story/history. Two words: Rum Rebellion. In this fanfic: because of the British losses with the Isles to Napoleon, British supply ships stopped reaching to the New South Wales colony and instead have been mainly focus on...

  14. An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    The Corsica post gives a nostalgic feel from Gulliver’s Travels. I am now interested into seeing more strange nations, and I recommend reading works like Gulliver’s and Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities.

  15. An Examination of Extra-Universal Systems of Government

    I am still getting vibes from Bioshock which is no surprise here. I think that Guatemala Inc is more preferable, reasonable and pragmatic than "anarchist-capitalists". It feels so odd to call a bunch of greedy assholes "anarchists". When I hear "anarchists" I imagine them as the "bomb throwing...

  16. Alternate history stories with superheroes

    I read Royals and summing it up: Every king and queen and etc have superpowers. Throughout history they led their nations in wars as first line generals until the 18th century when their influence start to diminish especially when democratic revolutions happen. Sure the royals have superpowers...

  17. Black America

    I think this show might work in a fanfic crossover with the Boondocks. I mean the Boondocks did have a one-time "What If" episode with Martin Luther King surviving his assasination and Oprah becoming President of the US. Hell, it would be even more awesome and hilarious to have Catcher...

  18. The Great Martian War

    Admittedly that is one of the downsides of the books along with a largely American-focus. It can be forgiven because it is still a alien invasion story and the US military should have their side of the story told in contrast to Wells' original story which is more from the POV of a average man...

  19. The Great Martian War

    I say skip the 2005 movie reference because Tom Cruise (for being a terrible husband and parent), the modern plot and characters sucks in my retrospective. Try reading Scarlet Traces or watch animated movie Goliath. Or read Global Dispatches. They at least provide some interesting examples of a...

  20. The Great Martian War

    So far two books in the series, The Great Martian War written by Scott Washburn is, like Scarlet Traces and Global Dispatches, is a fan sequel to HG Wells' The War of the Worlds. The story begins in 1908, eight years after the failed Martian invasion of Southern England depicted in Well's book...
