  2. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    I looked it up, turns out I was incorrect: as it happens Total Recall wasn't going to be a sequel to Blade Runner, it was going to receive a sequel... in the form of ! Though it does open up an interesting idea for a pop culture TL where the three movies are a directly linked trilogy.

    ...to pursue it.” “Good, thanks Dean.” Truman said, stuffing the document into a drawer. “Let me know if you hear anything more out of Moscow.” *** On July 7th, 1952, millions of Americans tuned their TV sets to the live broadcast of the Republican National Convention. Over the following...

    Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    Fwiw, John Millius wrote the script for Magnum Force, so there is some dedicated libertarian ideas at work there, maybe a little ACAB. But to me it's so obvious that it was also a very convenient storyline to do, to walk back the low level moral panic the first movie engendered. (Consider: The...
  6. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Yeah I mean the generic idea of power and radiators being on a big ol truss instead of local to each module a la Mir. Although the power tower does have stability issues, nothing insane, it just makes it prone to oscillation. I also get the sense that it's difficult to thrust through the power...

    Yeah this thread here is a good read for better details. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/alltheworldsbattlecruisers/greek-small-battleship-1932-t9005.html
  8. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    So, what's the film that will get the honor of the Canon's 50th film? I'd be happy to see a Mickey Mouse feature to celebrate the occasion. However, I have a different and inventive idea for that sort of project. Mind if I PM you the scenario, even if it doesn't become the 50th animated feature...
  9. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    Plus make sense, like defective or mutated replicants. Plus the debate if Quaid was a replicant or no all along

    Trying to Please Everyone: Or Converting multiple Pop Culture Utopias into a Timeline.

    Oooh we're getting a n c i e n t and m e d i e v a l up in here, those both sound quite good.
  11. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Since when did Stalin think human lives meant anything? He was quite willing to throw millions of lives away for his goals why would it be such a stretch that he would think the same of the French? That they were willing to forget about it just to take down their rivals. It is something that...
  12. It's The North. They're different up there: A British TV TL

    Sorry it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine how the Mersey - Humber corridor is used to define "The North" when it is so far south of the Scottish Border that it's better classed as being in the Midlands. At best it's the very southern edge of The North.

  14. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    I suppose I shall speak for everyone when I say that Kimba looks stunning in the artstyle of The Lion King.
  15. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    One more good hit upside the head from his father could probably make Stalin a little more paranoid

    Of lost monkeys and broken vehicles

    Salamis is the 6x16" gun design, correct? I'm glad Averof still gets her recognition, can't let some fancy BB get in front of the greatest AC of all time! :)
  17. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    Yeah, doing that earlier would have helped.

    Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Saying it's just paranoia is just lazy writing. Stalin would never have come to such a ridiculous conclusion. The French, surrendering to the Germans when they stand a quite good chance of winning? After all the lives lost to win the last war?
  19. Caught between the Bear and the Rooster (Stalin invades Germany 1940)

    Paranoia is a form of insanity. I think it is a very long shot for his paranoia to manifest in this particular way but very long shots happen from time to time. Stalin was not perfectly sane, he was paranoid. If I said it was Khrushchev I would agree with you as Khrushchev was sane.
  20. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    Well, they were both based on Philip K. Dick stories, IIRC.
