Anyone else catch Survivors ? I thought it was good so far.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's been more than a week since the Bollywood ep. That was the season finale. It comes back in the autumn.

I'm undecided about Survivors. I'm going to give it another hour. It may be more bleakness than I'm willing to partake of. They did have that kicker at the end where there's obviously a core of science civilisation that survived (since they probably caused it), but I need a bit more optimism for the future of the species.

Yeah, the kicker at the end wasn't optimistic. (I'm guessing that the woman who actually survived the virus is going to be key.)

Posting this here because it's the Doctor Who article that I liked best, but a beta of the new 'zine PEP is online here.
The DW piece is about the Time War, and how the various books/audio series and the new TV series are interwoven even when they contradict each other. Perhaps especially then.
It's all evidence that there is one big story. We just can't see it: it's too big. We don't have the perceptions to see all of our own history properly. Likewise we cannot see all of the history of the Time War. All we can see is the way that the stories we do understand are warped and reflected around it.[...]
So the origin of the Time War is the destruction of Gallifrey: it is the beginning, not the end. The battle is to determine whose fractured history leads up to that point; and the prize is who gets the future afterwards.
(Other topics include Grant Morrison, Leonard Cohen, cricket, Scott Walker, how TV makes you sick, The Avengers, & the Lib Dem party.)

I was just skimming that table and then practically did a spit-take when my eyes were caught by "only to female rabbits" and "comical/delicious/tasty snack." My brain was going one direction and then whoosh! suddenly things got yanked totally in another direction.

I don't recall the vampires in Blade being shown to lack reflections... did they?
And I *know* that stakes were specifically not fatal in Dracula, Stoker made a point that decapitation was necessary afterwards.
