  1. Look to the West Volume VII: The Eye Against the Prism

    Is it bad that I kind of want this to be the actual outcome, and the tail end of this story is about how the THANDE Institute teams come to terms with a society so deep in paranoia about an alternate ideology that they construct an entirely fictional history of the world, and an entirely...
  2. Look to the West Volume V: To Dream Again

    Some quick Google fu gives me the following two links: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/look-to-the-west-volume-v-to-dream-again.354968/page-90#post-15868019 https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/look-to-the-west-volume-v-to-dream-again.354968/page-93#post-16238368 These...
  3. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    You could always swap him out for Bill Maher. In a situation like the one we've seen, I expect he'd go down pretty much that exact path.
  4. Rumsfeldia: Fear and Loathing in the Decade of Tears

    It took me a while, but it was about the time that Avery Brooks walked in that I put Smith, Jeff, and Philadelphia together, and realized just who the prosecutor was. Guess the playground's not where he spends most of his days now. Well played.
  5. WI: Nixon nominated Reagan to replace Agnew

    Not that Wikipedia's anything resembling a concrete source on this, but there's a note on the 1968 election page indicating that while Nixon was registered as being from New York in 1968, he re-established residency in California during his first term. If this is correct, he would, IIRC...
  6. TLIAFD: The Doctor Is Who?

    Maybe Cameron decides to complete Avatar (which he had started conceptualizing in 1994), rather than postpone it due to the immaturity of CGI during that time frame, and Titanic doesn't happen until well down the line?
  7. TLIAFD: The Doctor Is Who?

    I like the way you think. Dean Stockwell's a great choice; he'd be a real throwback to the Hartnell era, giving off some of the same vibes Capaldi does OTL. The drawback to that second idea is Heavy described our potential 9 as "the guy" in a comment, but otherwise, that would be a heck of a...
  8. TLIAFD: The Doctor Is Who?

    Well, if you can't find a picture of your first choice after that date, you almost certainly aren't going for the American I most want to see as the Doctor: John de Lancie. (Maybe down the line, with Wil Wheaton as a regenerated Master?) If not, I'm very much looking forward to seeing who ends...
  9. TLIAFD: The Doctor Is Who?

    I'm tempted to suggest Adam West for symmetry's sake, but perhaps the pilot does better, and Jeffrey Hunter remains as Captain Pike?
  10. Cool Brees and Chill: A Miami Dolphins TL

    Two quick comments: 1) If the NFL's going to Europe, it would make the most sense, to me, to establish a full division out there (London, Berlin, Frankfurt, and I dunno, maybe Dublin?) so that divisional games, at least, are on a tighter schedule, and you could arrange divisional swings for...
  11. Best PM/President Combinations

    I imagine Gordon Brown would have gotten on very well with John Kerry.
  12. TLIAPOT: Blinded by the Light

    I vote for Crosland, if only so we can get the inevitable TV series where he's played by Stephen Fry.
  13. Cool Brees and Chill: A Miami Dolphins TL

    From the bottom of my cold, black Philadelphian heart, thank you for that. Washington Football Franchise running through a humiliation conga and an NFC Championship Game appearance for the Green and White: not bad at all. Two suggestions for DC: One, at one point in the past, Chief Runs Without...
