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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
