First Zawe Ashton, and now Faye Marsey? I like where this is leading.

Probably the reason you don't remember anything is because there's no actual plot. It's all premise and incidence. It's damn good, but I'd be hard-pressed to describe anything about it besides the scenario.

The problem with all that is that the point of divergence is in 1933, six years before the war proper. The assassination of Roosevelt during the Depression alters the entire economic, political, and military landscape of the United States, and by consequence the European and Pacific theaters.

Another point of divergence is that after Roosevelt's assassination the United States never recovered from the Great Depression. If I remember correctly, it's effectively bankrupt by the time the war started. So in a way Germany already has the technological advantage, simply because they can afford to spent money on…

I would love to see them add some more Dick into the mix.

The Nazis pretty much wiped out all of Russia, actually. There were a few Slavs riding Yaks on reservations, but not much else.

I'm still irritated they got rid of Howard Brenton. He was one of the best writers for Spooks, which treads very similar ground.

The only major Japanese characters I recall were Tagomi and the couple Robert Childan befriends. The rest were either Americans or Germans.

Mercerism was fairly central to Androids Dream, and yet Scott chucked that right out.

You can't not read that in a Karl Pilkington voice.

It goes into quite a lot of detail about how the war happened.

That's pretty much what happens. The southeastern US allies itself with Germany so they can reinstate slavery and conquer the north.

It involves most of the Pacific Fleet being at Pearl Harbor, which is wiped out by the Japanese, who then steamroll across the Pacific and take over the Pacific coast.

I'm pretty sure it's Callus, because Spooks taught me how to love David Oyelowo's dulcet liquid velvet man tones, digital distortion be damned.

"If people thought it was about the mystery of the Island and the answers to that mystery, then it's because the show spent A LOT OF FUCKING TIME dwelling on that mystery and the implied importance of those answers."

HTML tags.

The most baffling thing was that it was advertised as a relatively self-contained run of episodes, and yet it ends on a massive cliffhanger, whereas the end of episode seven would have brought the perfect amount of closure to ride out three whole months of nothing.

"What did you all think of the finale or the church scene? I loved it actually; I was crying and it was really emotional. But I heard a lot of people didn't like it."

I think how half-hearted it feels is perfectly in keeping with the character. He's deeply conflicted with both his self-loathing and his desire to have other people depend on him.

Hey!
