A couple of interesting little vignettes at the beginning for sure.
The Russians pulling out of Afghanistan to focus on the space race seems logical.
John Lennon and Pope JP2 reversal of fate, along with Prince Phillip's choice of bride all seemed funny - perhaps showing an alternate universe rather than a butterfly effect.
The really cool one was the Chernobyl meltdown didn’t happen due to tech from jamestown. Puts a little bow on Ivan’s suspicious look after Ed left the moon
It is always interesting to speculate how even the smallest things would change by different course of events.
For one thing, pop culture seemed to have progressed in the same timeline as our current world (the movies and music were the same). I think in reality, given how much culture is shaped by the events around us, this would see the sharpest divergence. For example, the early addition of women to the space program would have surely changed the views of women in pop culture.
Not criticizing, just an interesting discussion.
Also, thanks for the thread Troutman, I probably wouldnt have seen this show if i hadnt stumbled across this thread!
