  1. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    Okay, not paranoia. Overplayed his hand in his myopic pursuit to crush the Woodvilles
  2. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    The Ghibli stuff here reminds me of this rough idea for a direct collaboration between Henson and Miyazaki for a unique version of Spirited Away. First of all, rather than being completely animated, it would be a mix of live-action, animation, and puppetry all beautifully meshed together. And...
  3. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    On site storage is, putting it mildly, utterly insane. The requirements will either make the construction and operation of the plant prohibitively expensive or force the reactors to be placed where some sort of safe storage is economically possible which will put the plants so far away from...

    Have Pontiac Motor Company continue to be a viable company up to the present

    As everyone says, you'd need to either get GM to restructuring way before they had to or find a buyer for it. Unique models is an absolute must and dovetails with the need to leverage their history of fun cars. The Aztek, as much as people think the styling is awful the idea is very smart, the...
  5. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    Blockbuster is already being sold to Miami businessman Wayne Huizenga. I can assure you Orion will not be the Trump analogue. Miramax does seem to be headed that way with News Corp using it as a platform for Murdoch's brand of male chauvinism. But it is likely that Jordan Belfort ends up being...
  6. U.S. has more successful nuclear power with waste stored on site, and therefore no transport and reduced NIMBY.

    And this is precisely why transporting the stuff is a total non-issue. What you just described is the US standard nuclear transport canister. The tests have hit them with trains and set them on fire for hours at a stretch: no breaches. Also, the US government needs to grow a pair, tell Nevada...

    Have Blake's 7 be even more successful and mainstream like Star Trek

    Good spot that . . . never realized it until you mentioned it.

    Map Thread XX

    Any context to this? I'm a bit alarmed by what seem to be nuclear strikes in Algeria

    Warships that survived World War Two and should have been museums!

    A museum ship's take on the subject:

    Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    What about the car chase though? Surely he couldn't drive one of these pea shooter Muzzies? They'd have to make it in 1979 at the earliest so they's use one of these Muzzies. Trouble is, would Stevie Q's health allow this?
  11. Crazy sequels that never happened: what if they did?

    All four sequels were a mistake, IMO, given the ending of the first one. However, the proposed sequel with (IIRC) Fred Williamson as the Calahan character... :cool:
  12. Have Blake's 7 be even more successful and mainstream like Star Trek

    Its definitely a subversion of Star Trek's Federation. The logo is the same, but turned on its side. I guess Blake's 7 is the Maquis POV of the Feds. If you think about it, they are fundamentally the same. An alleged galactic federation that's really a human dominated government, and despite...

    American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    I was thinking about public perception.

    AHC/WI: Earlier environmentalism

    By the mid-18th century, nobody has seen what mass industry can do to an environment, nor can they particularly understand the scope of the changes. By the late-19th century, people have seen quite a lot of it affecting their home cities and will usually object to it on humanitarian and...
  15. Was it surprising Argentina didn't become a decent size power or at least a dominant economy?

    That suggests to me the approach taken by, frex, postwar Japan would be the right one: build cheap, but high-quality, electronics (TVs, computers, so forth), weapons systems (AAMs), & so forth. The low value of the peso would actually be a selling point, much as it was for Mexico selling into...
  16. As Dreamers Do: American Magic Redux

    I hope Orion isn't TTL's Trump Manhattan analogue. I was hoping that Bill Cosby, Jordan Belfort, or Harvey Weinstein would start the Trump Manhattan analogue. Don't do that to Warren Buffett, he deserves better. He's the son of a Senator who acts like a blue-collar guy and there's just something...
