Well Well, let's hope the United States isn't starting to go down the road of weaponizing hyper advanced artificial intelligence to manage their economy and military.

Depends if the show as it exists would feel confident enough to tackle the Population reduction. Maybe the white characters aren't racist so much as ignoring the rising tide of the Freedom Party. Or if the show isn't prestige enough it may simply not exist or be a jokey Holodeck type episode.

Well made, easy to understand, and artsy without being painfully awkward.

Well yes that could happen too.

Reddit is still clinging to life, although some subs have started talking about Banning down votes, so you can only upvote. It could revitalize the site, or it could kill it entirely.

The thing is that for genre film to work it has to be "about" something. Like the three Star Trek Movies that are good are about Arms Races, militarism, evolution, sexuality, and of course the transformative power of hope for the future. Now whats The Star Wars about? I guess fight the bad...

MySpace had a huge head start, and anyone could sign up. Plus the guy who started Facebook turned out to be a massive creep. So unless he somehow managed to be successful while also not being a, let's be honest here, quite a bad person, it would be a bad thing.

Maybe a small boy is Jake Featherstons imaginary friend?

For Captain America I've seen people try to account for "America" being divided and The US having a more socialistic culture with him being Sergeant Liberty or Colonel Columbia.

That or a straight up African. Britain leaving India was relatively recent when OTL Star Trek aired, so a Sub-Saharan Superhuman Empire might be the route they go.

The issue with that is tracing what heroes would be like in TL-191. Superman is mentioned in the books but Batman, Wonder Woman, Captain America, and the others are a too difficult to pin down.

That is a good point, but I do still think Anti-American Elements could still be present. Whether they're pro-American or Apathetic during the Korean War really depends on the people who are present when the Nationalists win and how present the American Government was in getting them there.

I dont think Nationalist China would be Pro West. They'd still remember the Half Century of Humiliation and China being carved up into "zones of Influence." They'd most likely be neutral in the Korean war, moderately in the Democratic bloc due to their own Civil War but would most likely stay...

If it instead of becoming more scripted it became more of an actual sport following Greco-Roman competition rather than ridiculous personalities in morality plays it would a least be politically neutral with some athletes being liberal and others being conservative. Probably wouldn't be as...

Removing the specter of Cuba and Korea would go a long way. Without two huge military boondoggles laying heavily on the public conciousness people would probably be more Gung Ho for finding a punching bag. If The US wasn't involved in either conflict or actually managed to win it would probably...

If a victorious union army crushes the rebels and hangs a bunch of secessionists before all the states that would secede have done it they may figure negotiating is a better course of action.

Ah Decker, you were doomed to failure because you were the least psychotic of the bunch.

Serial Procedural: Police Procedural where every crime takes 12-18 episodes to fully solve. Usually 6-10 episodes of investigation and 6-8 episodes of the court case. Unlike Episodic procedurals tends to feature deeper dives into characters motivations and arcs. I made myself a little sad that...

Fun with Jake and Lulu?

I-Punk/Millenial Cyber-Punk A sub genre of cyber punk, generally written after the turn of the Millenium. More like classic cyber-punk than post cyber-punk in tone but visually different. While Classic cyber-punk started with the idea that technology will creat new problems for the world, and...
