So this is another victim of COVID, an animated movie delayed from theaters until they finally just gave to NetFlix. Among its producers are Miller and Lord, the fellows behind at least one of the Lego movies and "Into the Spider-Verse", and this movie is very much in the spirit of that o...

Re: 'Firefly' what if...?

I had an idea for a 'Firefly' fanfic in which the Independent Planets (Browncoats) triumph over the Alliance, due to a third party's intervention- in short, if the Alliance was Ukraine, the Browncoats were Donbas, kept "independent" thanks to support from a third party that is the Russia ...

So hypothetically if WW1 had not happened then the Germany could possibly have achieved the OP hypothetical order of battle but wartime priorities and events severely curtailed this outcome.

There is an interesting combination of imagination and lack of imagination involved in "Part V." On the one hand, the idea of decentralizing the country (not very practical since it guts the peacetime economy) and the idea of fortified centers for launching a nuclear retaliation... But at...
