Did you notice:

In an old TV series called Odyseey 5, a group of people on a space station witnessed the Earth explode (or actually, implode). The abruptness of it reminded me of the fate of Earth in VOR.

That impression is later confirmed in 1 of the episodes, where in a bookstore scene, 1 of the main characters is seen flipping through a novel. It was a VOR novel! (the characters travelled back in time, thats why theres still a book store even after the end of the world).

Another example, more recent and even more directly ripped (not only feeling like VOR, but pretty much IS):

Doctor Who Season 4 ep. 12 Spoiler warnings!

Witness the idea lifted off of VOR.

You know VOR is cool when even freaking a DOCTOR WHO season finale written by Russel T Davis himself borrows from VOR.

Thats very interesting.

Does anyone have links to video clips or screengrabs of this stuff?

I don't know if this is the Odyssey 5 that he is talking about but here is one YouTube clip.

Interesting, I never heard of this show before. Any guesses as to what season or episode the vor book was spotted?

you wouldnt happen to remember if you saw it in the premier or or a later episode would you?

The premier being the only episode I ever saw, I'm fairly certain I would have recognized it if I'd seen it.

it is in 1 of the later episodes. I think there has only been 1 season. I cant quite remember which episode it was, I remember it was the bearded guy in the show who held that book in the episdoe, though.

Anyone saw the Doctor Who episode yet?
