Gored! - A Collaborative TL

Superstar is kinda similar to the OTL, just with Xander instead of Jonathan. IOTL S1, S2, and S3 all had "very special episodes" centering around Xander (The Pack, Bewitched, and The Zeppo). This kinda takes the theme of those and some of Superstar. Basically thinking everyone starts treating Xander like he's the best guy at the Initiative but because of character development he's able to see through it.
As for Restless, I'm sure we can find some space for it in alt-S5.
Thought I might give this thread a little bump.
October 31st, 2000: Singapore Airlines Flight 006 nearly collides with construction equipment in the Chiang Kai Shek International Airport. Other than a few scratches and a few injuries amongst the passengers and crew, everybody onboard lives.
November 11th, 2000: A funicular fire in an Alpine tunnel kills 25 skiers and snowboarders, but many manage to escape and live.
December 25th, 2000: A fire at a Luoyang Shopping Mall is detected early by staff, with a large evacuation begging soon afterward. As a result, casualties are reduced by the hundreds, with only 7 people, all of them workers, occurring as a result.

"I, Albert Gore Jr, do solemnly swear..."
"I, Albert Gore Jr, do solemnly swear..."
"...that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States..."
"...and to the best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States...."
...so help me God."
As the cannons blasted into the air and the trumpets sounded "Hail to the Chief," Al Gore became the 43rd President of the United States. It had not been an easy road to the White House: after a failed 1988 run, the near death of his son, and eight quiet years as Bill Clinton's Vice-President, Gore was a seasoned public servant and he was determined to make the best of his four - hopefully eight - years in office.
Gore opened his inaugural address with that same awkward smile that he carried on the campaign trail, "My fellow citizens, today we stand together united not in adulation of party or platform but in celebration of the tried and true Constitutional system that we all cherish." From there, Gore made overtures to bipartisanship in Washington and promised to take advantage of America's economic prosperity to solve the nation's most pressing problems. Famously, Gore declared that, "the 21st Century is an era that we do not fully understand. But it is an opportunity. An opportunity to either squander our blessings on pettiness and narrow visions of the future, or utilize our vast resources to make this new century the greatest that mankind has ever seen."
The vast crowd attending the ceremony loudly applauded the new President; as Gore wrapped up his speech he turned around to see a jubilant Bill Clinton smiling approvingly. As live coverage of the inauguration broadcasted the ceremony to the whole nation, media figures who once dismissed Gore as an out of touch elitist admitted that even they were impressed by their new Commander in Chief.
For now, the American people are on Gore's side. But soon President Gore will have to make good on his soaring rhetoric, and the Republicans in Congress are hell bent on making sure that doesn't happen...
