Cool update! Can't wait to see your TTL take on Batman Forever. What else happened in '95? OH! Does Christopher Reeve still have his horse riding accident?
Sliders, Se7en, Jumanji, and the 1995 revival of The Outer Limit spring immediately to mind.
Also, and this is more of a 1997 thing, I'm kind of interested to know what becomes of Larry & Steve.
I remember that Larry and Steve short, that was really the first prototype of Family Guy
(i see back in 97-00 in CN LATAM) umm maybe with Nick having a sucessful Slice of Life comedy, they would try it? ummm what will ry think about it.Jumanji, if necessary using author appeal, will try to avoid butterfly away(Loved that movie and the tv series.)
The rest..well will be Ry call too, knew little about it(but Seven was awsome).
some other ideas or suggestion? something we've ignored so far.
Well, it's not a 1995 thing, but it's something I brought up in the past which, to my knowledge, wasn't addressed in the timeline itself yet...
Other than that, Goosebumps is something else I'd like to know about... That and "Friends".

Umm, being honest that we didn't knew about it, maybe was like Wacco,something that happened, again, that would be leave what ry think happened(as he was insane, that can end anyplace, is not like McVeigh was planeed).
About Friends...is not still called Imsonia Cafe? depend, maybe Ross or Joey will play with a SNES-CD(and other consoler later) here.
A Minor Bumping, and Happy Birthday to a OTL game(ITTL one too), today
Happy 20th Anniversary Chrono Trigger.
Yeah leave like that, those tends tend to happen, tragedies, but those are somewhere sometimes...unavoidable.
Still that was rare, even when Wacco, Columbine and other were commented, this one was like a footnote in history.
Something else to comment fans?
'95 saw the launch of UPN and Star Trek: Voyager. The biggest butterfly there is the casting of Janeway: if Geneviève Bujold is picked, if she cracks earlier or later under the pressure of filming a television show, who the showrunners pick to replace her. Susan Gibney was apparently a favorite for the recasting, but was declined by Paramount for seeming too young for the role. With the showrunners backing her, it wouldn't be a stretch to get her into Kate Mulgrew's spot if circumstances were somewhat different. (She was later a candidate for Seven of Nine, so the staff seems to have liked her.)
Maybe Bujold leaves a bit further into filming the pilot, meaning too much time/money has been sunk into it for reshoots, so they need to kill "Janeway" and have her Number One or other senior officer take her spot? There was a fun Voyager 'rewrite' fanfic that took something akin to that approach.
Gibney aside, I don't think it'd be too hard to have someone else than Kate Mulgrew in the role. The overall quality of Voyager will probably be on par with OTL — I can't see the staff shaking up TNG's model after the lukewarm reception to DS9's experimentation with it — but a different actress in the captain's chair could lead to a different reception to the Janeway character.
They could also have Bujold play an unrelated previous Captain of Voyager, who gets killed when they are sent into the Delta Quadrant. Janeway would be some poor sap forced into the Captain's chair because she is basically the most senior officer left alive.
I mentioned this in a PM I sent recently, but I figured that since we're talking about Pocahontas in '95, it'd be appropriate to bring it up again.
OTL, Disney was planning to have another animal character in the movie - a turkey - that was going to be voiced by John Candy. Unfortunately, Candy died in 1994 from a heart attack and the script was retooled in light of his passing. Is Candy still alive ITTL (through butterflies) or did he pass on still? I figure that if he survived, then he might do well to pull a Cobain so to speak and tackle his weight. Perhaps a heart attack occurs but isn't fatal, causing him to decide he needs to take care of it?
This is also a more general request for the future, but is there any way you guys might be able to save Mystery Science Theater 3000? I figure that the problems it faced OTL are still going to eventually catch up with it (falling ratings, a stubborn channel management, and the fact that companies will want larger fees to let their movies be mocked) but it'd be nice to have it at least see the new millennium.
As a more general note: will Sega be getting a Nintendo Power equivalent ITTL down the line? I know there were several (unofficial to my knowledge) magazines for their platforms in this period, but it'd be nice to see them get their own mouthpiece.

John Candy still dies ITTL, I don't think there would have been enough butterflies to save him. Pocahontas is pretty much untouched by butterflies so it'll come out with essentially the same plot and dialogue as IOTL.
MST3K might have a better fate but we'll have to address that later on. A Sega magazine sounds intriguing and Kalinske may well go for it, we could see an Official Saturn Magazine appear down the road circa 1996 or so.
This doesn't really have any relation to anything, but I recall posting a DBWI thread on if the Dreamcast was a commerical success. I ended up mentioning the successors to the Dreamcast in that timeline - the Sega Mars, a home console, and the Sega Venus, a handheld.
Is Segata Sanshiro getting a lady friend?

Well, Venus does make logical sense as an alternate name for the Nomad since it was the original codename for it. As for Segata Sanshiro, no lady friend for him but he will be showing up at some point....

MST3K ended at just the right time in OTL, and I say this as someone who loves it. The show was declining in quality (which is not the same as not being funny), the cast was literally completely different, and the non-movie segments were going from "mostly stupid, but often funny" to "mostly stupid, but not often funny".
Having it drag on into a Simpsons-esque stagnation would be worse than letting it go when the time was right.
Thanks for the suggestion about it, being honest never wacthed it, only knew about it as concept.
Interesting the discussion and yeah a Sega Magazine for Saturn would rock(specially as Nintedo Power giving demos to subscriber mean bigger base for it) if they imiated Nintendo CD POWER iniciative.
The Official Playstation Magazine gave out a demo disc with every issue (I have many of them) so yeah, Saturn Magazine would include a demo disc in every issue (in contrast to Nintendo Power which only gives them out every three issues)
And Something Interesting, at start can be Called OSM, as Official Saturn Magazine, just to be morfed later as Official SEGA Magazine. So yeah can work pretty perfectly. That is Nice to use from 1996 onward.
First priority would be the movie. It does come out next year in the narrative of the timeline...
I can't speak for the Saturn but I know OTL there WAS an Official Dreamcast Magazine (ODCM) published in the U.S. (and I think the U.K. as well) from 1999-2001, I know because I still have all my issues, and they came with demo discs every issue (which I want to say was every two months). But yeah, having an actual "SEGA Power" type magazine would be awesome; I'm already thinking of names for one for my pop culture TL.
