#QuestionOfTheDay what's an alternate universe involving some relatively trivial pop cultural change (what if the SNES CD happened? what if The Beatles never broke up? what if Sean Connery accepted the role of Gandalf? etc etc etc) you would love to live in or visit?
(Bonus Points if you want to include what knock-on butterfly effects you'd be specifically interested in)

@ami_angelwings Would have loved to see Star Trek Phase II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Phase_II
@lunarobverse i own the book about that which includes the original scripts! i found it for $2 in a library used book bin
@ami_angelwings I’m jealous! Is it still in print? I need to find a copy.
@lunarobverse https://booko.info/9780671568399/Star-Trek-Phase-II looks like you can get it used at AbeBooks and some other places
@ami_angelwings You’re the bestest, Ami
@lunarobverse @ami_angelwings - I have several reproductions of the production scripts (7 of the 13 hours planned for Season 1). They're have a more "Strange New Worlds" feel to them in that their still TOS episodes, but a little more mature in subject matter.
They make Xon a LITTLE too powerful, though, giving him psychic powers that Vulcans didn't seem to have in TOS.
(Not pictured, the "In Thy Image" script, from the Phase II book above!)
@lunarobverse @ami_angelwings - I also have a website that chronicles the changes from Draft 1 of In Thy Image all the way up to the final Director's Edition of TMP: https://dolari.net/startrek/tmp/index.html
