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.

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.

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

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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
