  1. Bush Jr Daughters Join the Military

    It could get extra milage in that regard if one of them came back wounded. or with a medal or something. Otherwise four years in a USAF logistics center is not newsworthy.
  2. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    Stay closer to canon? Batgirl is not Alfred's neice. Introduce Barbara Gordon as Commissioner Gordon's daughter (or at least relative) in the movie before. Don't go For the kitsch, the camp, go for what the movies before went for. For almost all of the movies suggested, be invested in the story...
  3. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Oh, about political generals, out of the big names like Logan, Sickles, McClerland, and possibly Carl Schurz, which ones have the best potential political futures awaiting them ITTL? I'd imagine after the Month of Blood, a great deal of the more conservative political appointees are a bit...
  4. For Want of a Word – Stolypin endures

    Yes, it seems that (if circumstances required) both of them could be flexible. Witte made more than one remarks to the effect that Stolypin managed to combine the utter ruthlessness with a liberal demagoguery and one liberal member of the State Council wrote that Witte also was flexible in...
  5. AHC/WI: WWII Axis Commando Raids in the Western Hemisphere?

    I don't see this as implausible. The Germans did land spy teams from two submarines on the US east coast. they also had the option of smuggling agents out of Europe on neutral merchant ships. If its going to have any chance of even small success the planning, preparation and execution needs...
  6. WI: Henry Fitzroy had had a son?

    Henry Fitzroy jr would be 16 and half at Edward’s death. If he had married Elizabeth as soon he was 14 years old is not impossible who little Edward would be already born at the death of his uncle
  7. Bush Jr Daughters Join the Military

    It might tone down some of the "Fortunate Son" rhetoric of antiwar opinion, the idea that W. was a spoiled-brat draft-dodger sending other peoples' kids off to die just for laughs. I don't think that would have much impact in extending public support for the war past its best-before date, though.

    Have Triumph Motors continue to be a viable company up to the present day.

    Perhaps so, but by the time of BL Rover had been reduced to one car and that car was getting long in the tooth, and while Rover's reputation was still very good, it didn't hold much promise for long-term growth at the time. Most of Triumph's bloodline in sedans got sacrificed for the SD1, and we...
  9. AHC: Save a notorious flop

    And And And Which means we probably need to define what Woke is, in context of movies, or at least find or concoct a checklist for what makes a Woke movie. Or, even better: that a new, different thread over to the Chat forums be opened so that this may be discussed or: we can take it to...
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Most likely, though it would require actors' likeliness to be used and accounted for.
  11. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I think Highlander should be distributed by New Line.
  12. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Does that mean installing temporary/seasonal animatronic Ghostbusters in the ride?
  13. SEAD without anti radiation missiles [ 1970 to 1991]

    The British and French had the MARTel, an ARM with a primarily anti-ship role but the French used them as a SEAD weapon in the 80s and the British developed the ALARM in the 80s and fired some 130 during PGW in 1991. The fact of the matter is that few countries faced a SEAD battle during the...
  14. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Another thing I just realised: The Haunted Mansion, at least for part of the year, could get a Ghostbusters-themed event. Like the Ghostbusters are called in to catch some of the rowdier ghosts, all while either being totally oblivious or ignoring the people who hired them are also ghosts.

    WI: Henry Fitzroy had had a son?

    That was my idea too. If Edward wanted a French match in OTL, I don't see why Fitzroy wouldn't try and get one for his son. Especially if the son is born in the early 1550s.
  16. Bush Jr Daughters Join the Military

    Jenna & Barbara were of age when OIF went down. If they had joined the US military what are the likely results? I recall both being disparaged at the time as college party girls and being a example of rich girl syndrome. Conversely the evidence held up of this was small and thin stuff...
  17. What if Harold Godwinson kept his promise and supported William the Conqueror to the English throne?

    What if instead of playing with fire and dying by taking the throne, he invited the Norman duke and they defeat Harald Hardrada together? In this instance, Harold becomes the power behind the throne and William cannot just cast him aside since if he tries to do that, the native English lords...
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    The Naval Mounting is somewhat smaller (since it can actually be reloaded in use), once you strip away all the extraneous equipment:

    Demographics of a world without the Great War megathread

    Wasn't Ireland already resolved by 1914, Ulster being excluded from Irish home rule. It is also a rather a pointless issue, the loyalists didn't know what powers the Irish assembly would be given, so they might have not been negatively affected (redistribution of taxes, different market). Had...
