    Why I Edited... Allo Americana

    It's an interesting point about US folklore being different from that seen elsewhere due to being a 'newer' country. Creating a folklore as they go along might explain some things like the emergence of modern folklore like urban legends.

    Tales From Development Hell: Jurassic Park IV

    If there wasn't a contemporary animated series to tie in a la Godzilla: The Series there would surely have been one by now.

    Tales From Development Hell: Jurassic Park IV

    There's a notion! Like the Star Wars prequels and JPIII (don't know if Spider-Man III has also gone through this), JPIV might be vindicated by what came later being much worse.

    Tales From Development Hell: Jurassic Park IV

    I remember having a vigorous debate with someone after seeing Fallen Kingdom that introducing wasn't a ridiculous leap into science fiction that they made it out to be, in this film series about cloning dinosaurs from DNA fragments contained in mosquitoes fossilised in amber. One wonders if...

    WI: FDR Managed To Expand The Supreme Court?

    I wouldn't, energy better spent elsewhere.

    Tales From Development Hell: Jurassic Park IV

    Thanks, one thing this second batch of Development Hell articles has shown is a few films that had different ideas which were never filmed, then when that sequel did eventually arrive it was predicated wholly on nostalgia. This and Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian. I was thinking more action figures...

    Vignette: When the Iron Curtain Turns to Rust

    It's an intriguing setting and the story doesn't lose sight of its main focus of a very human, personal story.

    Review: The Climax

    Aaron Burr is a solid recurring character of the early Republic who'd turn up once or twice a season with some new shenanigan and written with far more complexity than any of the main characters like Jefferson. As a main character himself however... Sure, might bring forward some debate on...

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

    Been thinking about that lacklustre* HBO TV movie adaptation of Fatherland. Did not know it was Mike Nicholls who had originally purchased the rights and it only got sold as a TV movie after every studio passed for a theatrical release. *it's not even the best HBO alternate history TV movie...

    Things that look like alternate history but aren't

    Henry George's grave in Brooklyn remains free to visit. As a bonus there are also numerous mobsters buried there, some even with headstones.

    Could The British Car Industry Be Saved?

    Think of the implications for the Alien franchise alone!

    Gygax buys Games Workshop

    It is the major factor and there's maybe two outcomes: Livingstone & Jackson sell their third of the business and open up a competitor, which becomes home to the non-D&D products including WarHammer. Games Workshop (or whatever they call themselves) remain the only player in town and...

    Could The British Car Industry Be Saved?

    Even with the one-two punch of a UK company taking over Wolfsburg and De Gaulle being uncharacteristically Not-A-Prick there might be a controversy over how much automobiles produced in Germany by continental workers and largely selling to the continental markets can be considered saving the...

    Tales From Development Hell: Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiin

    I get a discount on transdimensional spectral apparation if it's to get married! The popular image of the Alien franchise owes so much more to Aliens than Alien. Goldfinger was more the standard setter for the Bond franchise than Dr. No. 28 Days Later introduced the rage zombies which were...
