It would certainly be right up his alley! Hah! I can just hear us when the real episode airs in the fall ...... we'll be like, "Oh! Really? Ok. Yeah, that works too!" Yes, and it also sounds very angsty, which is right up my alley! I think William is going to have to defend science and this engineer against an angry mob! Possibly against sensationalized pictures of roasted people: he might even know someone who was on that train. If this is his honeymoon - will these events set him at odds with Julia? Steam vs. Electricity. Would William have any reason to defend steam? Or would he just be against throwing away a whole technology over one accident? There are also electricity accidents, too. Is it better to be fried instead of boiled in steam? |

"Is it better to be fried instead of boiled in steam?" Fried by electricity - faster! Can't believe I actually thought about that for a minute!! |

Fried by electricity - faster! Can't believe I actually thought about that for a minute!! How can I be deprived sooooo long?  Regarding William being set at odds with Julia: I'm still running at reasons why Georgina might have been crying over the script (as if boiling bodies might not be enough). I was wondering whether Julia might take the opposite side as William over his defense of this Engineer guy and the reasons for the train wreck? By the way, the people of New York voted with you on the fried vs. boiled! |

They voted on it? ? OMG!!! I mean they did ban steam trains in favor of electric. Not sure if that involved popular voting: the State legislature probably had to vote on it, though. I doubt the Governor could do that by fiat, considering the expense involved, and the economic/trade implications of throwing aside a technology with so much invested in it already. It would be as if the State of California banned dual rail technology in favor of the monorail. |

That would have been pretty strange even for New York city! |
