So, I am now getting hooked on this show called Supernatural. Basically it's about two brothers who hunt monsters, ghosts, demons, etc. Now, I am watching an episode from season six that seems to take on AH.
Basically, a rogue Angel has gone back in time to prevent the sinking of the Titanic. This POD of course butterflies history (in fact, one of the main character actually says "You just butterfly effected history!"). Now, there are over 50,000 people alive in this world who wouldn't be in OTL (Or at least the shows OTL). Most are descendants of Titanic survivors, but others are people who would have died or never been born had it not been for said descendants. Only now, the Spirit of Fate is literally hunting down all of these people to kill them.
Now, here are some butterflies/AH as mentioned in the episode:
And they even throw in some Show specific butterflies in the episode as well:
Now, I am glad to see some AH in mainstream media (They even use terms like Our timeline, that timeline, Butterfly, etc.), but they did mess some stuff up.
They seemed to go with the "It's exactly like OTL, except for a FEW minor small details". And from an entertainment standpoint...I like that. From an AH Fan...not really. You know like, "Despite there being so many butterflies over the last LITERAL century, Barack Obama is still President."
If anyone else saw the episode or watches the series, what do you think of this?

- The HMS Titanic does not sink.
- Celine Dion is a bar singer in Quebec.
- James Cameron never made Titanic.
And they even throw in some Show specific butterflies in the episode as well:
- Two characters killed off season before are alive.
- One of said characters is married to another character they weren't OTL.
- The characters drive a mustang instead of an impala (which is like as symbolic to Supernatural as the TARDIS is to Doctor Who)
- Heaven's army is now much larger, due to the "Surplus" of souls created by this ATL.
