Reading a good book is like eating a good meal -- don't rush! I'm enjoying 11.22.63 quite a bit. I'm in the final days, headed quickly toward the BIG day. So, of course, all the answers are near by, I hope!
Remember the guy who used to hang around Ed Wood named Criswell ? He was famous for saying, "I PREDICT!" And he would say crazy things. Well, I have a few to offer. and if you don't know who I mean, google Criswell. No, I don't mean the pastor of 1st Baptist Church of Dallas!
It is worth writing down some suspicions I have at this point, before I know the outcome. So. . . here are some not so educated guesses! Those of you who have read the whole thing, don't correct me!
So. . .
1. I suspect this will turn out to be a dry run. That is, our friend is going to reset history again once he sees the outcome of his efforts.
2. I suspect Sadie will help George carry out his mission.
3. I suspect on his second trip, George will protect Sadie better. the best face lift would be a reset in the timeline.
4. And if he does do this all again, I think he should do a LOT more study before heading into the past. George jumped too quick! He needed to spend some time with his friend google and wiki.
5. I suspect saving Kennedy will do nothing to save MLK.
6. And for the changes that would happen if Kennedy did live:
--Without LBJ, I suspect the civil rights movement might take more time.7. I know the yellow-card man will be back. He is always lurking near by. But what kind of wrench he will throw in the mission, I don't know.
--I do think Vietnam would be avoided all together if Kennedy lived.
--With no Vietnam, I am left wondering about other wars. Gulf Wars and various police actions. No idea on those! I hope King deals with them.
So there you go. Notes from a guy who actually knows nothing!
It ends with Captain Kirk kidnapping everyone and making them all help him save a whale.
ReplyDeleteBest ending ever!
HA! That is very funny. But why would Kirk kidnap anyone. I'm not sure this makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI think. . . since I know nothing, and will follow your star trek scenero:
*George travels back in time to save Kennedy.
*Kingons go back to the 1960's to destroy kirks ancestors.
*HOwever, every time the Kingons carry out their plan, george unkowingly re-sets the time line; confusing the Kingons.
*To get rid of George, the Klingons go after Stephen King.
*Pennywise kills the klingons.
*No one saves the whales, and thus earth will perish when a rogue probe wants to have a chat.

ReplyDeleteKirk would kidnap them because he has to, David. For the whales; for the future. Kirk WILL get it done!
*Klingons go back in time to destroy Kirk's ancestors, but are annihilated by Terminators, who have decided to go back in time and kill Sarah Connor's mother, Dolores Connor.
*Jake attempts to reset the time line yet again, but is apprehended by Federation authorities and sent to Rura Penthe, the prison planet.
*The Klingons next go after Stephen King, but are murdered in about five seconds by Eddie, who recognizes them immediately.
*Pennywise is revealed to be a rogue member of the Q Continuum. Picard fixes HIS little red wagon, but not for hundreds of years yet. However, due to disruptions to the timeline, one of Pennywise's future victims is young Wesley Crusher. Awww.....
*Kirk, having saved the whales and Earth's future, tries to seduce Sadie, and is totally successful, what with Jake being on the Klingon prison planet. Jake decides to teach English-language classes for inmates, and is murdered after attempting to stage a variety show.

ReplyDeleteWell, Reverend, I'm delighted to see a new journal entry. I didn't mean you had to start right away however, still it's nice to have another entry like I say.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to here final summation once you reach the finish line.
Here's a question, if you were offered the opportunity, would you do the same as the protagonist?
