Show of Hands

Yes, I do. The Man in the High Tower is such a tv show. It posits that Japan conquered the western US and Nazis conquered the eastern US, and middle America was no man’s land, where blacks, Christians, and Jews had to flee to.

I also enjoyed 11.22.63, which is a tv show about a guy going back in time, trying to prevent the assassination of Kennedy.

What if the passengers had overtaken the terrorists on Flight 93?

What if the flight 93 passengers took control of the plane and landed the aircraft? That would have been awesome.

Oh god. Lighten up. We’re having fun here.

Wait! YOU watched Man in the High Castle?!?!? 🤯

No. SOH is more than enough for me with its radical unsubstantiated conjectures and willful ignorance of precedent.

Yes, they definitely could have done it. The hardest part of the scenario was getting control of the cockpit back.

Sometimes.

In some cases, the forward thinking is pretty flawed/far-fetched.

I’ll have to look that up. It sounds fascinating. I love history.

It’s possible. I had only flown small Cessna planes when a friend got me into the simulator in the Denver united training center to fly the 767. I did three landings without a lot of coaching. They might have done it.

Or using a strap like a seatbelt to quickly strangle the terrorists to death while someone takes someone control of the aircraft. The big obstacle was the cockpit door.

What if Rome didn’t fall? Maybe we now colonize Alpha Centauri if that were true?

It surprises me because you frequently proclaim that you avoid non-religious media, and that you really haven’t watched a commercial movie in years. And this is a commercial miniseries that is certainly not religious, but is also very violent and has a lot of profanity and sex.

Yes. Why would that surprise you? I even tried to read the book afterwards, and I can tell you that whoever wrote that screenplay is a GENIUS. The book is BORING, one of less than a handful of books I haven’t finished reading in my lifetime. I read at least 1 book a week.

Castle, not Tower! 😂 I knew that looked wrong.

Right. Unfortunately they rolled the plane inverted. That’s not recoverable from that altitude. Maybe for a fighter pilot willing to push negative G’s.

If maybe they could of found something to stab the terrorists in the neck or broken their neck to kill them quick?

I think they used broken wine bottles and fire extinguishers. But no knives.

I’ve never said I avoid non-religious media. I said that I’m glad that we now have some coming out. There are very few shows that portray the lifestyles of all the people I know.

I’ve also not said I haven’t watched a commercial movie in years. I’ve said that I’ve only been to religious movies in the theater, and if I have the option of watching them in my home, that’s what I prefer, because our theater doesn’t have CC, which I have to have to understand what they’re saying.

The Man in the High Castle DID have religious tones. It showed how Christians and Jews were having to live in no man’s land so that they wouldn’t be killed by either government.

I don’t care about violence, as long as it shows the good guys winning. We watch all the FBIs all the NCIS, all the Criminal Minds, all the CSIs, etc. I just don’t believe those types of shows should be shown to children.

Life has a lot of profanity in it. I grew up in a home in which both parents cussed so much that I was SHOCKED at the lack of that in hubby’s family!

I don’t remember sex in it, but it’s been probably over 9 years since I saw it. I’m pretty sure it was before I came to SoH.

In that second sentence, I meant that I’m glad that we now have CHRISTIAN shows coming out. Those are our first choice, and why we pay for Frndly, Up Faith and Family, and watch RedeemTV, The Chosen, Angel Studios, etc.

Yep. I don’t think they ever got them out of the pilot seats.

Kennedy was not a good president.

Givstrom, who are you responding to here? I don’t see anything about Kennedy.

“I also enjoyed 11.22.63, which is a tv show about a guy going back in time, trying to prevent the assassination of Kennedy.”

Did you refer to another show involving Kennedy? That’s what I read.

Oh, ok. So you were just saying you didn’t think he was a good president? You’re not making a statement about what would have happened if he had not been assassinated?

Possibly. Who knows. It did fall, that’s the reality. Reality has one outcome. With possibilities, there are countless potential outcomes.
