Spoilers DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 3

Neal McDonough upped to series regular, Arthur Darvill and Wentworth Miller to recur : http://tvline.com/2017/07/22/legend...r-darvill-recurring-wentworth-miller-returns/

So the garbage villain is a regular (the actor is good, but the character he plays makes Vandal savage look like Thrawne when comparing quality), and the two of the three best regular cast members are staying "recurring" characters (Dominic Purcell is the other best cast member in my opinion, and if he ever leaves the show I'll probably drop it) while the worst cast member (Vixen) is probably sticking around. So, mostly bad news from comic con. I'm not really shocked.

During the hiatus, Brandon Routh apparently forgot which part he plays on the show ;)
 
we only have one data point

There's the one in Doctor Who, there was also a mockbuster from The Asylum called Titanic II... that's three already, and I think if you were to check other popular media, every ship ever named Titanic has sunk ;)
 
How many luxury liners like her have sunk?
Same class and in general?
In reality?

There 3 in the Olympic Class. Titanic hit an iceberg, Britannic was torpedoed in WWI and Olympic was withdrawn from service in 1935 and scrapped. Though there was also the conspiracy theory the was ship swap and that Titanic was actually Olympic which had construction issues.

In fiction?

Probably dozens.

But the question for assessing safety by statistical means isn't "How many ships have sunk?" but "How long did the average ship last before sinking?" or "How many individual voyages ended safely?"

Given that Olympic completed 257 round-trip Atlantic voyages with few mishaps, and that Britannic fell victim to a mine (not a torpedo) during wartime rather than to any design flaw, I think the Titanic incident has kind of skewed perceptions about how safe that class of ship was. Although it is hard to draw any firm statistical conclusions with so few ships to compare.
 
In the trailer, we got a glimpse of Kuasa, Mari McCabe's sister from Vixen, showing up in live-action form this season. In the animated show, Anika Noni Rose voiced Kuasa, but in LoT, she's being played by Tracy Ifeachor:

A bit disappointing that they couldn't get the original actress -- the policy seems to be to cast voice actors who could play the roles in live action. But I'd say Ifeachor looks pretty similar to Rose. From comparing the shot in the trailer to photos online, I'd half-convinced myself she was Rose.

Of course, this means Amaya will be encountering her granddaughter, though not the one we'd expected. And Kuasa being alive suggests some more timeline shenanigans.

As it happens, Ifeachor appeared in Doctor Who: "The End of Time" with two other future Arrowverse stars, David Harewood (whose daughter she played) and John Barrowman.

There was also a spaceship Titanic in Futurama.
I am disappointed to hear about Darvil and Miller only being recurring characters, but I am glad to hear that McDonough and the new teams members from last season are sticking around.
Do we know yet if Isis will be a regular or recurring?
