    Scenes We'd Like To See: Alternate Movies, Television & Other Pop Culture Miscellanea

    No Star Wars is a huge change to pop culture and the arts of special effects. I suspect that without Star Wars, Star Trek: The Motion Picture would still happen but would be the prelude to a new series. Maybe if Lucas makes Flash Gordon instead of SW that's the movie that makes bank, but I...

    WI: A Faisal-Ben Gurion Agreement?

    I would like to read a timeline of this, just to see how such a Federation played out, plus how the world would work out without the (ongoing) Palestinian crisis.

    Interesting take on Doctor Who there @Time Enough it certainly went different places than OTL. Am surprised that the Doctors lasted such a short space of time, any particular reason ITTL they leave before approaching Baker's record? I take it there is no Touchwood or K9 spin-off's in this...

    Alternate History General Discussion

    The BBC have just put the 1984 Nuclear War drama Threads on iPlayer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02kgkkg/threads Still remains one of the most horrifying, realistic takes on a nuclear strike I have seen. The Alt History of that world is shocking.

    Peace in the Middle East: A Timeline

    A timeline where Amin al-Husayni died in the 1920’s would be an interesting read.

    Peace in the Middle East: A Timeline

    How the heck did Amin al-Husayni simply not get assassinated by someone? This man is serious trouble.

    The Munich War and Afterwards

    I could see a federal India happening here with the Princey States, 'Pakistan', Punjab, etc as compoent parts under a Govenor/PM situation with a National Parliament, but heavy amounts of self-rule for the various Regions. Civil War can be avoided I think, esp since without the continental war...

    The Munich War and Afterwards

    Churchill or someone in his government should make it clear to India that Dominion status will be theirs at the end of the war in a Federal India system- it’s the only way to prevent a revolt and keep India inside the British Commonwealth and supplying the Home Country with cash. Churchill...

    The Munich War and Afterwards

    Well the expected war in the Pacific has started. Churchill gets his moment, but will he be remembered as well ITL without the Battle of Britain and D-Day? I wonder how easy it would be to sink a few American ships with UK subs and bring the US in? Maybe a few sneak torpedoes into Pearl...

    The Munich War and Afterwards

    Interesting world you have put together here. Lots of butterflies from a short 1938 war. China: I can see sane heads in Japan wanting to pause and consolidate their gains, even come to some sort of deal, maybe brokered by Britain or even the USA. The insane option is to attack American...

    I just read this article at Sealion and it got be wondering: https://www.sealionpress.co.uk/post/popular-culture-without-star-wars Without Star Wars existing could Superman in 1978 have sparked a late 70's superhero movie wave? It was the second highest grossing movie of 1978 at $300.5m OTL...

    Ramifications of an Allied Victory in a 1938 War?

    Very interesting idea - would love to read a full timeline on it. I can see Poland getting invovled in the War alongside Britain, France, Czechoslovakia, and anyone else with an anti-German grunge - Denmark? Netherlands? Wonder how much the German bombing would have hit in Britain and France...

    Westminster with Proportional Representation. Part 1.

    The UK with PR in the post WW1 years? Wow... that would change a lot. Would the Liberal Party die off like it did? Would Labour be able to get the electoral traction to form a majority? Later, if she was still around due to butterflies would Thatcher have survived the 83 election given her...
