What if 1990 nuclear war happened?

On August 21st, 1990, the leaders of the Middle East develop a super computer virus which infects the entire cyberspace. The United States general accidentally launched all of the US nuclear bombs at all the countries of the world by mistake instead of getting rid of the virus, a day later. All of the world's major cities destroyed in that day.
That won't work, the missiles are not connected to cyberspace, to launch them you would need to physically push the launch button or install something in the launch controls

The general's hand slipped, and pressed the launch all missiles button by accident.

I hate your ideas and I have come to hate you by association. I am going to compile all of your posts in this thread into a text document and print them out so I may have the exquisite pleasure of physically destroying your words.

What will happen to media, television, movies, comic books, video games, music, etc. during and/or after the nuclear war in 1990?

Given that we're talking about the loss of millions of lives, probable collapse of several governments, and permanently wrecking the ecosystem, the fate of the next season of Star Trek is staggeringly irrelevant.

There are some people whose incoherent posts have a humor of their own, but sometimes, there's just plain stupid and nothing else.

I'm smelling a distinctive whiff of odor, akin to that of unwashed socks. Maybe it's an indication that there would not be much of an entertainment industry in the aftermath of a global thermonuclear exchange.
 
Los Angeles was destroyed in the incident while they are shooting the TNG episode, "Legacy"

All the footage of TNG season 4 was lost, along with the footage with the seasons of 1990-1991 seasons of the remaining shows and the new shows are gone. Major American movie and television productions are cancelled until 2000 after the destruction of Hollywood and New York City.

In that day, President George Bush said, "Nuclear war is inevitable," similar akin to the words of OTL's Arnold Schwartzenager's Terminator in Terminator 3.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The meticulous detail to what appears to be diligent research deserves our grudging respect, but... my goodness. What can I say?
 
Actually i.m.h.o. and in order of craziness/likeliness to start a nuclear war:

North Korea -> South Korea
Israel -> Iran
Pakistan -> India
Pakistan -> US
India -> Pakistan
US -> Iran
US -> North Korea
Russia -> US
China -> US
US -> China

Any other combination, including nuclear powers like the UK and France is too highly unlikely to be considered.
 
In November 30th, 2001 - American Pictures released, "Star Trek: Enterprise," the sixth Star Trek movie, and the first one after the 1990 nuclear war, starring Scott Bakula as Captain Jonathan Archer in command of the Soviereign class starship, U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E, with Alan Ruck as first officer John Harriman and Patrick Stewart (who survived the 1990 nuclear war) as Locutus of Borg, it is the huge box office success.

It'd be relevant to us 'Trekkers, since a nuclear war in the 1990s would move OTL into 'Trek canon, something which is long overdue IMO! :p

Okay. You use two accounts to praise each other in a spammy to begin with thread.

What to do? Ah... Kick both accounts in a rare double troll take-down.

Kicked for a week.
what if in August 22, 1990, a United States general initiates the nuclear war against the world accidentally, but it was too late to stop the nuclear war?

1991-1995 - People start to feel sad, all feel hopeless for the future.

1995-2002 - Humanity start to recover from the 1990 nuclear war. The United States is reborn.

2002 - The new era of humanity begins.

Media:
Television doesn't recover until 2000.
Star Trek died after the fifth movie, The Final Frontier and TNG episode: "The Best of the Both Worlds, Part I," due to the nuclear war. Picard remained Locutus.

On August 21st, 1990, the leaders of the Middle East develop a super computer virus which infects the entire cyberspace. The United States general accidentally launched all of the US nuclear bombs at all the countries of the world by mistake instead of getting rid of the virus, a day later.
