You know, it's weird to be checking the news, reading that Bob Newhart has died, and recognise the name only because I watched this video an hour prior.
I love that when Chuck talks about science in this TV show like the proton radiation - he's talking about actual science (and takes a moment to explain it) instead of the technobabble that Star Trek used all the time!
0:54 I think the supplemental material released before S2 premiered showed that Kennedy did run again and lost to Reagan, but it wasn't a landslide victory for Reagan like in our timeline. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't seem to have those mini-episodes up anymore so I can't check. I think they also revealed that NASA put a Pathfinder-like rover on Mars two decades before they did in our timeline, that John Lennon was shot outside his studio rather than his apartment and had someone with him who stopped the gunman from killing him outright, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind won Best Picture at the 1978 Academy Awards instead of Annie Hall.
Huh, getting political in comment about the very much political story despite art having been political for thousands of years didn't sit will with something.
