    Pop-culture in TL-191

    I was thinking about a sitcom based upon the character Nellie Semproch and her coffee shop during the occupation. Think of a cross between Beverly Hill Billies and Hogan's Heroes in which Nellie's daughters constantly use their feminine wiles to coax secrets out of the Confederate military...

    The Man in the High Castle somewhat misses the mark

    Not to beat an already dead horse, but I just finished watching the final episode of Man in the High Castle, and now as a result, my respect for the show has just cratered. If I had to guess, I'd say that a bunch of studio executives must have busted into the writer's room and hijacked the...

    The Man in the High Castle somewhat misses the mark

    I guess I cannot argue with that, but would have it really been that difficult for the GGI animators to create a Japanese aircraft carrier roughly equivalent to the USS Enterprise or the USS John F. Kennedy in our timeline?

    The Man in the High Castle somewhat misses the mark

    There are a few awesome things within the Man in the High Castle, such as when the Japanese fleet is shown steaming in and out of San Francisco Bay, or when the Capitol Mall is depicted several years after a nuclear attack, but for the most part, there are too many plot holes to make it possible...

    Timeline 191 - Random Events Post Second Great War

    Well, I was imagining that the European Confederation and the People's Republic of China would drift into a closer and closer alliance, while at the same time, The United States and its allies would be drawn into a closer relationship with Russia. A sort of second Cold War might exist between...

    Timeline 191 - Random Events Post Second Great War

    Pretty cool. I especially like the map. But wouldn't it be great if there just one or two paragraphs describing the Federal Republic of Canada in brief detail? You know, a member of the North American Treaty Organization, key industries, and famous people?

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    I don't know. But once the war is over, would US authorities really want to rub salt into the wounds of the defeated CS populace? Maybe, maybe not.

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    Just a guess, but most likely there would be some sort of a holiday to commemorate the liberation of camps Humble and Determination. Would there be something like Kwanzaa? Maybe, but there doesn't really seem to be enough information to say for certain. I imagine that the US government would...

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    Well, I think that the music would be moderately conservative, but that the people themselves would be somewhat self-contained in their actions.

    Pop-culture in TL-191

    Just how swinging would the swinging 1960s of the 191 universe be? Well, I think that the below music video might be a good indication of what commercial pop music might be like. Remember, I'm describing things as they might be within my own continuation story in which the US successfully...

    TL-191: After the End

    I guess that I really don't know enough about TLAE191 to say. However, if you tried to support 120 million people in such a small area, you'd have to import a lot of rice from other parts of Asia.

    TL-191: After the End

    By 2022, there isn’t legal discrimination in the Philippines against citizens of Japanese descent, even if prejudice remains in some quarters. Well, I guess that would depend upon how cruel the Japanese were in the 191 universe, versus what sort of improvements they managed to bring to the...

    Trying to remember the title of a book

    I'm probably way off, but it sounds a little by like the Star Trek episode known as the Omega Glory.

    What if TL-191 was actually real? What's beyond 1945?

    But if you stop and really think about it, the situation in which an independent Confederacy existed alongside an independent United States was a highly unstable configuration, and in the end, only one of them could survive. Now, if an independent Confederacy were allowed to exist beyond the...

    What if TL-191 was actually real? What's beyond 1945?

    This is fiction, and only Harry Turtledove himself can say what may or may not happen.

    What if TL-191 was actually real? What's beyond 1945?

    If their number one goal is to prevent the Confederacy from every regaining its independence, then why wouldn't they consider such an option, if they felt they had no other choice? In our own timeline the Allies once considered using radioactive isotopes to contaminate German farms. Such a...

    What if TL-191 was actually real? What's beyond 1945?

    Maybe something far worse than even the Nazis could imagine.

    What if TL-191 was actually real? What's beyond 1945?

    I agree, and the US would probably have more diabolical means up their sleeves besides just mere brainwashing. Also, if the US gets Texas to rejoin the fold fairly quickly, by promising Texans that they will get their lost territories back, then that would open the gates to the other former...

    What if TL-191 was actually real? What's beyond 1945?

    I agree. By the end of the Second Great War all of the great empires of the previous century have outlived their usefulness, and their governments would have to be reformed, or face internal revolution.

    What if TL-191 was actually real? What's beyond 1945?

    I think that your posts regarding the Mormon migration into Oceania are plausible, entertaining, and they supply fertile breeding ground for future stories.
