Notes

The Great Desolatrix bears a remarkable similarity to the Flux, the omnipotent threat of series 13 of Doctor Who, which premiered in 2021. However, no evidence suggests that the Flux is based on the Great Desolation, or if they're the same storm.

Continuity

The gladiators include a Rutan and a Nimon. (TV: Horror of Fang Rock, The Horns of Nimon)
