  1. Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

    Probably just a nasty lawsuit (similar to the ones the Asylum gets hit with but obviously a bit more serious) a big bill, the entire board and whoever commissioned the film fired and a "Don't do it again or else!" Maybe Universal gets to buy the Spider-Man rights while Columbia is sorting itself...

  2. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    Sadly unlikely to happen immediately alot of Americans want the war to continue and changing that attitude will take a long time.

  3. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    That as well. Which ought to be interesting as (at the time) he was one of the few with the comedy chops to keep up with Ramis and both Blues brothers.

  4. Blue Skies in Camelot (Continued): An Alternate 80s and Beyond

    Which incidentally features Belushi very much alive in 1984 so it's pointless to keep bringing it up as it's a done deal anyway.

  5. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Exactly and like i said the only result of trying to hold would have been the exact inverse. What else do you give up to hold a few worthless islands? What could have been handled better was the decision. For instance the German's should have been told the British were bugging out and also a...

  6. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Five and they got them because we decided not to defend them and kept them because at the end of the day we had bigger fish to fry for the entire war. We probably could have held them but at the cost of having to leave a large force tied down and under siege for the whole time from the fall of...

  7. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Malta really is the only one we gave up anyway. Everything else that small stayed as they simply can't function on their own (or in the case of the Falklands would very quickly go take over half of Argentina if we weren't around).

  8. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    TBF Malta's been under non Italian control pretty much forever by this point and the culture's have diverged. Also given independence will probably come up at around the time when Italy is a defeated power in a war and probably being sat on it unlikely they'd want to give them a "reward" like...

  9. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VII (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Very, it's well known that the war is unwinnable by the south by that point (probably always was even if they get lucky) and even McClellan is going to be demanding the obvious concession to let the south back in. Even if they wanted to come back as without the US army sitting on it and no...

  10. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    Which is why they won't get it, unless it's to independence there is no way Britain gives up it's control of any of the naval choke points world Certainly not to a power that wants to turn the Med into an Italian lake.

  11. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    By the way, while heavily pushed by the Nazis (and so easily discredited by big tobacco ) the first German evidence for lung cancer being caused by cigarettes is from 1929. Maybe without the Nazi's smoking begins it's long decline earlier this time?

  12. Robert Falcon Scott survives returning from the South Pole

    Also he only turned south after Peary made his claim and south is much harder anyway (its three clicks up for one thing). Nothing happened OTL and it probably won't here as the best man won and at most maybe an annoyed Scott happens to notice somethings about Peary's claim don't add up and...

  13. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    I'd be shocked if the Monarchy didn't endure, but given Edward was a traitor OTL, I could see a scene where George VI visit's him in a cell at the end of a war and asks him if it was really worth it?

  14. 8mm to the Left: If Hitler Died in 1923

    That guy is an idiot, but then ITTL "we've hired him," never happened so it's probably inevitable someone else would make the same fatal error.

  15. Robert Falcon Scott survives returning from the South Pole

    Which given how cavalry worked out during WW1 was more accurate than anybody suspected...

  16. Robert Falcon Scott survives returning from the South Pole

    Scott must have been cursed or something, should have asked for a straight battleship, but I guess Dreadnought's weren't as cool?

  17. Robert Falcon Scott survives returning from the South Pole

    Thanks for that. Also what should be remembered is this was literally the third attempt on the pole. We're talking the 1911 equivalent of an Apollo mission and it's kind of inevitable things could go wrong, did go wrong and Scott did the best he could. It's just Amundsen knew more about...

  18. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Especially as a fair portion of the mess was the Byzantines fault. After taking the west the Goth's mostly maintained the Roman culture, civilisation and infrastructure (excepting in Britain which had imploded generations before). They just accepted they couldn't hold an entity that big together...

  19. Robert Falcon Scott survives returning from the South Pole

    Sometimes people do the impossible. Not to mention the man was very much the determinator and wouldn't let his men give up either.

  20. Robert Falcon Scott survives returning from the South Pole

    ...bleeding edge of what was possible at the time and things happen. If he'd got back there would probably be some recriminations and a few "You bast**d," comments about Amundsen turning around and going south but just as usually happened in exploration circles it would be ; well the best man...
