Apocalypse How/Class Z: Difference between revisions

 

 

* In ''[[Dogma]]'', if the [[Word of God]] is to be proven wrong all of creation will cease to exist.

* This is the goal of the ''[[Warlock (film)|Warlock]]'', and he comes [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Damned]] close.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* In "[[The Keys to The Kingdom]]" series by Garth Nix, if the House is destroyed by Nothing, reality will cease to exist (including all the Secondary Realms). {{spoiler|This does end up happening, but [[Unexplained Recovery|it gets better]], since Arthur is able to recreate the Realms from the Atlas.}}

* It's hinted that [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] has the power to do this (but not the mental sickness required to, at least not yet).

 

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

** The {{spoiler|TARDIS explosion from series 5 is listed under Class X-5, but comes damn close. It comes within a ''single planet'' and a few minutes of being Class Z.}}

** The {{spoiler|denial of a fixed point in history at the end of series six creates a temporal explosion threatening to collapse and kill all of reality, spreading outward from the point that was broken}}. This is soon approaching a Z-2.

** In ''The Big Bang'' it reaches Class Z-3 - all realities never existed. Creation never existed. Nothing ever existed. The above statements ignore Earth and the moon and sun.

*** Note it's easy to miss that it's a Z-3 and not a Z-2, since its status is only confirmed in a single, blink and you miss it line of dialogue from a {{spoiler|Cyberman}} in the previous episode. "All universes will be [[Catch Phrase|deleted]]."

** It should be noted that only ''Doctor Who'' ever produced examples which can even remotely qualify for '''[[Up to Eleven|above vanilla Class Z]].'''

 

== [[Music]] ==

* The threat of such an event was believed to be a major plot point in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'', in that {{spoiler|breaking all of the gates would presumably bring about the unraveling of the world, eventually}}. However, it's been revealed that this has happened before with the gods surviving, so the threat is Class X-4, not Class Z.
