The survey gathered a lot of interesting remarks about
the B&B series, the fandom, and this website, BatBland.
Besides the bare results that you can find at the above
link, and which may be a little raw to read, we are
planning to post some general comments, stay tuned!

For now, as a lovely summary of what was shared,
here are the replies to the question
"B&B in five words for you".
A nice and poetic general picture of our show.

Enjoy, and thank you, everyone!
