How did the QC universe get so different from ours?

--- Quote from: Doug S. Machina on 17 Mar 2008, 18:35 ---Agreed, but the superhero thing is fun, so that why I went with it. The ineffectual cops were just funny too, I think. Or it could be that they're superceded by the superheroes, and so their standards are falling.
As for the domed city, now we're just being silly. But isn't that (partly) the point of this thread?
Also, Faye was right. Hannelore is Penelope's time-travelling daughter from the future.
Deeper analysis when it occurs to me. Probably.

Only... we've met Hannelore's mother. So is Penelope also time travelling from the past? :P

--- Quote from: Doug S. Machina on 10 Apr 2008, 13:49 ---Apparently we've had a very close relationship with the Dutch. I just read that they invaded Britain with a fleet five times larger than the Spanish Armada to depose hated King ...James? ...

James VII and II Stuart (of Scotland and England) fled England without a struggle in 1688 (the fact that most of his army went over to the invader helped persuade him to flee) when William of Orange [what is now the Netherlands] invaded. William then became king of England, Scotland and Ireland because his wife Mary was James's eldest daughter.
A few battles took place later in Ireland between James (with French backing) and William of Orange. William won, hence the Orange parades, marching seasons, and Orange Orders in northern Ireland and Canada.
Perhaps Hannelore's psychic clone baby is the most recent attempt of the Stuart dynasty to take over Britain. Let the Windsors watch out!

You know, I think I pinpointed what exactly about this whole alternate history thing bugs me.
It removes the characters too much from our world. I think it begins to affect their relatibility (sp).

Hanners grew up in Low Earth Orbit.

True, but then, I hate Hannelore. :wink:
