  1. AHC: Kill the Fast Food Industry

    Simple: Economic recession. Without the period of economic stability the 1950s had, the fast food boom gets stunted.
  2. "Where Are We Going This Time": The Golden Age of Science Fiction

    It took me a moment to remember where I knew that face from; he was Phoebe's asshole psychiatrist boyfriend from that Friends episode where Joey's dad visited. So, based on that information alone, my guess is that
  3. Man's Best Friend: An Alternate 1990s and Beyond

    Unfortunately, someone else would need to nominate it; I have a different horse in this race.
  4. Man's Best Friend: An Alternate 1990s and Beyond

    Potential "Best Quote" Turtledove Nominee
  5. Smarter Than The Average Studio: An Alternate History of Hanna-Barbera

    It would be very easy here to prevent the Jetsons from getting cancelled after one season ITTL, assuming it still gets made. It apparently only got cancelled because it wasn’t broadcast in color to most TVs.
  6. Man's Best Friend: An Alternate 1990s and Beyond

    Having caught up, and being fully aware that you yourself said you couldn't squeeze all the 1992-related pop culture into the Year in Review post that you wanted, considering we're entering 1993 now, I can't help but be me: is there a chance Quantum Leap doesn't get cancelled ITTL? Or is it...
  7. "Where Are We Going This Time": The Golden Age of Science Fiction

    Okay, I understand how awesome it was to get the massive blowout for Season Five of DS9 after a little over a year of waiting, don't get me wrong, but the literal moment you dropped Detective Nose Gold and Mary Jane the Monkey into my lap, that became the runaway star of the show in my eyes...
  8. "Where Are We Going This Time": The Golden Age of Science Fiction

    Okay, so, shot in the dark for at least one of them:
  9. The Ballad of Sailor Bill: A Timeline of the Tortoise in the White House

    As God as my witness, this will be what wins Best Quote in next year’s Turtledoves.
  10. TLIAW: Gödel's Loophole(s)

    Above all else, the fact that Gödel's final act was to lie about being a Soviet agent just so he could trick everyone into keeping the United States under a dictatorship is the best prank of all time. This was batshit insane.
  11. The Ballad of Sailor Bill: A Timeline of the Tortoise in the White House

    I am away from my computer at the moment, but I now have the urge to open Photoshop and create a “This Machine Bites Nazis” bumper sticker with Sailor Bill on it.
  12. The Ballad of Sailor Bill: A Timeline of the Tortoise in the White House

    Plot twist: Nixon didn’t resign over Watergate ITTL; he resigned the day after that got leaked to the press.
  13. The Ballad of Sailor Bill: A Timeline of the Tortoise in the White House

    Yep, that's Lyndon B. Johnson alright...
  14. The Ballad of Sailor Bill: A Timeline of the Tortoise in the White House

    Okay, for some reason, I thought this post was gonna be about Sailor Bill somehow being involved in the Kennedy Assassination.
  15. When you Wish Upon a Frog (Book II of the Jim Henson at Disney saga)

    Okay, The Afterlife of Toys would have legitimately caused me to see a therapist if I saw that in theaters, dear fucking God.
