Quote: For that matter, what would the BGC version of "We Didn't Start The Fire" do? We know it has different lyrics, and I think its safe to assume that it has identical music, or close enough to the variant on Doug's homeworld.I think I'll have to decide where the knowledge for the song effect comes from in the first place before I can answer that. Given the hundreds of points of view that Lisa was subject to, it's obviously not strictly Doug, but I'm also not sure that the song was just slurping them right out of the local Akashic Records or something -- especially since he was able to transmit his homeworld's history in another timeline. It might be that the song has no effect until Doug has immersed himself for sufficient time in that timeline, at which point the song can produce the same effect for its world's history.
