== Live Action TV ==

* The Q Continuum from the ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' franchise, home of the ([[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|supposedly]]) omnipotent and omniscient species known as the Q (and also sometimes used as a name for the species itself). When we saw it on-screen in two Voyager episodes, it appeared first as a [[California Doubling|gas station on a desert highway]] and then as a battlefield from the American Civil War (when the Q were fighting their own civil war). This was probably done due to the show's budget constraints, and was justified by explaining that the Continuum [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form|cannot be perceived by a humanoid as it truly exists]], and thus it will appear as an analogue from the viewer's culture. In one TNG novel, the android Lt. Commander Data is taken to the Continuum and forced to perceive it in its true form. This causes him to shut down as the result of the sensory overload.

* The Black Lodge from ''[[Twin Peaks]]''. A world where people speak backwards, little people dance to jazz music and {{spoiler|cream corn is used as a form of currency. The lodge itself is really just a series of identical rooms with red curtains and a zig-zag patterned floor. Or it could be that it is just the same room repeated over and over.}}

* Heaven in ''[[Supernatural (TV)|Supernatural]]''. Every heaven is basically just the best moment of your life over and over again.
