What if we lost WWII?

[scpanther22]

Always been a fan of historical fiction apparently the pilot for this has been out since January . Amazon released a trailer for the entire season last month. Will have to check it out and get the book.

This new Amazon show called "The Man in the High Castle" explores what would have happened if the Allies had lost World War II. It's based on a Philip K. Dick novel from 1962.

The hour-long drama stars Alexa Davalos ("Mob City"), Luke Kleintank ("Pretty Little Liars"), Rupert Evans ("The Village"), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa ("Mortal Kombat Legacy"), and Rufus Sewell  ("Eleventh Hour"). Ridley Scott is executive producer.

It streams on Amazon Prime this fall.

Sounds cool, I'll have to check it out!

I read all the WorldWar books, where aliens show up to colonize Earth in 1942 and hilarity/chaos ensues. Love that stuff.

Harry Turtledove is a great alternative history writer.

I highly recommend reading the book. There was suppose to be a follow up book for the series but there never was. There really is no true ending to the book, nothing is resolved, so I look forward to seeing how it plays out. I've been waiting for Amazon to put this series out ever since it aired during Pilot season.

We'd be the Carolina Panzers.

With all the Jews dead who's going to write all the sitcoms?

I watched the pilot episode a few months ago when Amazon tested the waters on like seven or eight new shows. It was pretty good, but the production quality was clearly lacking. Hopefully they've got a bigger budget behind it now that they're producing a full season. I'm going to keep an eye out for it.

I love turtledove, especially the Videssos cycle, but I have to admit I wasn't a fan of that particular series.  Stopped after the first book.  Although the idea of aliens getting addicted to a Chinese spice was amusing.

the first few books are pretty good - one of the problems is that there are soooo many subplots, so a lot of the book is reviewing prior events and people to help keep everything straight. I am a big WWII history buff  and it was great to see a story that showed the events unfolding all over the world at a particular time.

Dammit.  The pilot for this show is already on Amazon and I was interested so I watched it.  Really good and very interesting.  Then I finad out that the rest of the show does not come out until November and now I have to wait.  Thanks a lot =)

I watched the first episode this weekend. I really enjoyed it, but can't wait till November 20th to watch the next episode. :(

The second episode is up now.  I am even more hooked.  I know what I am doing on the 20th

I hope I end up liking this as much as I want to like it.

This and Into The Badlands have me excited for some new type of shows/storylines.
