[QUOTE="beta_plus, post: 886546, member: 1497"] I am really enjoying the show - on episode 6 right now. If you like TMITHC, I highly recommend a mockumentary called CSA that was released around 2005 that brilliantly and with dark humor shows a present day world where the South conquers the North during the Civil War. Hopefully if the show succeeds it will lead the entertainment industry to make other alternative histories like TMITHC and CSA. Just 3 that I would love to see: 1. Present day in which the United States lost the Cold War to the Soviet Union sometime in the 90s. You could have a "flipped script" in which the US never recovers from the Vietnam War and Oil Crisis and slowly falls apart economically and militarily like the Soviet Union did in the 80s with the Afghan invasion and decline in oil prices. The Soviet Union is now the world's sole super power and the US has a military and economic status similar to present day Russia's. Instead of most of Europe being under NATO and the EU, it's under the Warsaw Pact and Comecon. Britain holds out in the same way Yugoslavia did during the cold war due to it being an island and having nukes, but just barely and had a massive civil war between England, Scotland, North Ireland, and Wales similar to Yugoslavia's.

Most of the world under Sharia Law. I do not have any ideas on how to make it convincing. 3. Turn Henry Turtledove's "Guns of the South" into a movie or series, where the CSA wins the American Civil War. [/QUOTE]
