Title: Re-imagined Histories and Alternate Universes
Post by: davekill on October 20, 2010, 09:06:10 PM
Mixing up technology and history has been the subject of books and film and always fascinated me.

Bread and Circuses is a favorite TOS episode for that reason as well as the movie Jesus Christ Superstar.

The movie "The Final Countdown examined the prospect of defending the attack on Pearl Harbor with a modern navy. That book was part of a trilogy of similar stories.

Imagine if the American Indians had machine guns. :tealc

a few awesome examples...

With all your posts lately about the Final Countdown, you have really sparked my interest to seek out this movie and watch it again. I really liked it when I saw it years ago, like you said, great idea for a movie and I liked how they mixed in modern day at the time with WW2 era.
