    For All Mankind (AH Tv series at Apple TV)

    There's an economy to storytelling. You can only convey so much in a given volume of time. You need to establish characters, their traits, relationships, their environments and the situations they are in. This is leaving aside the cash economics of production. This is really overt in FAM Season...

    Draka Hond Tanks

    Here we have the three principle models of tanks produced by the Domination of the Draka designed between the Great War and the Eurasian War, which were given the common designation of "Hond" after African hunting dogs. Hond-I: Developed in the aftermath of WWI, the Hond-I (at the time simply...

    Hypothetical: A new series is announced and Dominates the AH fandom's attention

    In this scenario, you go online and notice a link to a video from a major streaming service. You look at the title and are surprised by this and click it. The video shows big budget production and is set in 1942. It starts with two Italian soldiers (we'll call them Stefano and Michele) sitting...

    Honestly, the one they went for is far better. Rather than being brazen, bombastic and heroic, the FAM theme is quiet and meditative and builds on the wonder of spaceflight and the show's humanistic ideals of science and technology, even born of national rivalry and military drive, bringing us...

    The Second Exodites: a Jewish North America

    In 1290 in England there was a bookish young Jewish man named Mordecai, who due to the Act of Expulsion lost his family in an antisemetic attack. Left with nothing but a single three year old little sister, he was taken in by a family and in France turned himself into Torahic and Talmudic study...

    In the case of Russia it's a distinction between an Authoritarian Socialist regime vs an Authoritarian Capitalist regime in OTL. Zor

    In general, I'd think Israel would be doing reasonably well here. Unlike Iraq or Saudi Arabia it's economy is not based on Oil but on it's high tech sectors. I could see Israeli firms doing good work for NASA and the ESA. If Israelis can make the desert bloom their skills and ideas would be...

    The Middle Eastern scenario by the 21st century is entirely different than OTL. Remember that Saudi Arabia (which has been a toxic influence on the Middle East since it's foundation) is dead and whatever arose in it's place will not have the revenue stream that oil provided. As for North Korea...

    CCCS is some pretty solid glue, especially given the trillions of dollars from Godilocks alone. Zor

    Which does not really change my point. W:TNO was announced about a year before it was released, had been in development for years beforehand and it was a big name game which got a lot of media attention. I won't say that The Man in the High Castle was a response to the New Order, but I would say...

    That rather goes against the hopeful tone the show's going for. Zor

    We're out of a political landscape which directly correlates with OTL. Arguably this was the case in Season 3 as the Soviet Union was still going strong in the 1990s even if international tensions had diffused from the extremes of the 80s, but it's really pronounced in the 2000s. No Fukuyama...

    I'd argue that the waters were first tested by Wolfenstein: The New Order and The New Colossus. It's a different medium and it is using the "Nazi Victory" PoD and it leans into the fanciful, but it was A: was well made and B: accessible to a general audience. Zor

    One thing I will say about For All Mankind is that it's means that Alternate History (and especially Alternate History beyond "what if the Nazis won WWII") has gone fairly mainstream. Especially if we're getting a Season 5. Zor
