catecumenDid you ever get the feeling that the reality we're living in right now is an alternate universe created by someone's wishes? Let's look at just the fannish wishes we might have made, and which might have sounded totally impossible, if things had happened differently.
A world in which ....
Christian Slater and Robert Downey, Jr., are alive and well and starring in new projects;
A recast "Star Trek" movie was a huge success, after multiple theatrical movies and four spinoffs, one of which starred Kate Mulgrew of "Ryan's Hope" as a starship captain;
"Smallville" is in its ninth season;
Madonna did get to play "Evita" in the movie version, and there are musical versions of "Wicked" and "Legally Blonde," and a stage adaptation of "Xanadu";
Joss Whedon wrote an "X-Men" title, and the "X-Men" comics have become a successful movie franchise (although the Dark Phoenix storyline had to be changed to allow one of the stars to defect to "Superman Returns");
After a successful "Battlestar Galactica" remake, there is now a major-network remake of "V" .....
I could go on and on about the fannish improbabilities which have happened.
What improbable realities sometimes make YOU feel as if THIS is an alternate reality?
