Pictures from "All American WW2", aka "Storm Front".

Instead of an interesting WW2 what-if, it actually seems more likely to be a very silly way to move the entire WW2 to New York, and make it a nice americocentric war.

SFX has the most idiotic headlines I've ever read. And I'm guessing that, more often than not, the cover photo is positioned like the one they have featured now, so that it looks like the title of the magazine is "SEX"

So Archer spends some time in a Nazi-ized New York and romances a black Edith Keeler type. Ok.

You got it in one, Alan. I used to read it until about 2001 when it became plain that the whole magazine was turning into one big Buffy fanzine.

This is part of the Vast American Conspiracy to Dehumanize and Humiliate the Proud Peoples of Germany, of course.

(Also, "what happens to the Vulcans now?" would seem to be a question answered way back on page one of this thread.)

No, it's clearly a cost-cutting measure - just using the New York back-lot set on the Paramount Lot again.

How many times in Trek ALONE has it been?

City on the Edge of Forever (I'm not too sure about TOS - if it was built then and if so if it was redressed a number of times - like for "Miri" or "Return of the Archons".

There was at least "Emergence" [TNG] and "Past Tense part 1 and 2" [DS9], "Far Beyond The Stars" [DS9] any others that have used the New York set on the Paramount Lot?

GOT IT THE FIRST TIME. NO FUNNIER THE SECOND TIME AROUND.

Archer was from upstate New York, so maybe he spent a lot of time in NYC and they wanted to use his knowledge of the city as a plot point somehow.

You're a sassy brat, and apparently don't know my methods, or the breadth of my genius.

I'm fairly certain the last time we engaged Alien Nazis(tm) the New York backlot was used, albeit redressed as random French town saved by TEH USA!!1! TEH USA!1!!. (Alternately, I suppose they could have borrowed some other studio's more cobblestoney backlot. But alternate theories displease me.)

Bernd's review of this coming premiere will be one for the ages. I anticipate those dirty racist Americans being put in their place once and for all.

Indeed. The shame will be sufficient to compel Dubya to withdraw from the election.

I think he's refering to the fact that Hollywood appears to believe that the US won WW2 alone with no help whatsoever (except possibly a couple of ludicrously upper class incompetant Brits), and the attendant impression that many Americans seem to believe the same thing. So not exactly 60 years.

Well, it'll be something to look forward to at any rate...

Not only that, but also the fact that Hollywood usually thinks it's easier to simply feed those misconceptions (need I mention U-571?) instead of telling more truthful stories.

What bitterness? Where? What?

--------------------
Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.
