In "Descent," Data wishes to explore emotions by fighting Borg Drones on the holodeck. With Geordi watching, he asks the computer to increase Borg strength by 30%. The computer refuses, stating that two senior officers are necessary to effect such a change. Geordi doesn't really want to help, bu...

When Spock was chasing, and beating Khan, over a transport in San Francisco, Uhura says to beaming both back to the Enterprise, while Chekov says something like: Its impossible, they are moving! But in the first movie, was the same Chekov that transported back to Kirk and Sulu, avoiding hi...

In the 1977 Marvel Star Wars #4 comic, which was part of an adaptation of A New Hope, there is an additional scene after the trash compactor stops where Luke tells C-3PO the unit number so that he can open the hatch. I find it interesting that attention is given to this detail that is glossed ...

As we know, an early scene in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was shot in Yosemite Valley. Kirk is supposed to be climbing El Capitan. (See ). I don't imagine for one second that Shatner was actually on the face of el Cap, although el Cap is in the shot. At ...

This story involves a doctor and a girl, as well as his family. The doctor gives a drug to the girl to treat her, as she has been falsely claimed not to be allergic to it. She dies, and her impoverished family is paid for her death.

So, I read this book in the mid-nineties (no idea if it was new or not). I can't recall the title (obviously), but relevant plot points: It starts off like the Narnia series, where a young (tween) sister and brother are sent to live with relatives in a country estate. If I recall correctly, ...

We know that the One Ring would have corrupted any mortal (humans, dwarves, hobbits, etc) or Elf who claimed it. Only Gandalf or another Maia (Saruman, say, or Radagast) could even have tried to wrest control of the Ring from Sauron—but even they would not have been immune to its corruption, mere...

Nardole is a cybernetic companion of River Song and The Doctor, first introduced in the Christmas special "The Husbands of River Song". The Doctor later "rebuilds" him, prior to the events of the Christmas special "The Return of Doctor Mysterio"; suggesting Nardole is primarily robotic, as such a...

In The Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2, there is a scene in which How is Nebula able to accomplish this? And how does she survive?

It was a series of books, each with a collection of stories. I used to check these out at the library one at a time and scare myself silly: One story was of a young man who kept seeing an older ghost staring at him through his window. The old ghost appear each night, would say "old wine in new...

One recurring motif of the Culture novels of Iain M Banks is the amusing names that the Ships bestore upon themselves. There are too many such for my feeble mind to encompass, but I wonder if they have been catalogued against the novel(s) / novella they appear in and if any Ship appears in more t...

Neil Gaiman's The Sandman ran for 75 issues; there was one "special" issue which told Orpheus' story, but it's not numbered. According to Neil Gaiman in The Sandman Companion, he was intending to end the series at some point, but it's not clear whether he intended the series to run for exactly 75...

I only have an extremely vague memory All I really recall is a man broadcasting on radio equipment after some form of apocalypse, it was live action and I believe made within the last decade Something had happened to most of the population I think it was some kind of alien hive mind taking them...

I read that fanfiction years ago on fanfiction.net. (Kaname xZero) The council visits the academy and cross says to yuki that she should take care of zero because he is only an ex-human. Yuki runs into a member of the council and gets bitten. Zero saves her but gets raped and bitten. Yuki runs ...

I've been browsing through comic-related Wikipedia and Wikias, laughing at their inaccuracies and all, and noticed that Lucifer, as in the Morningstar, makes an appearance in the New 52 DC comics. Here's what Wikipedia has to say: The New 52 reinterpretation of Lucifer is much more influenced...

I remember watching a movie/CGI animated film, years ago but sadly I do not remember the name. All I remember is, that it is set in space/sky (can't say for sure which one, all I can remember is they were flying). There were some space pirates or something, and some weird bugs attacked them (ma...

I'm working to create a fantasy/sci-phy world for my own nefarious purposes where swords can power star ships. However I have this vague recollection of having encountered a system like that previously in a book or game. Does anyone have any thoughts or clues as to something like this?

In 1991 or 1992 I saw a two-part (probably made for) TV US movie. It is about an alien starship crash landing on planet Earth (in the USA). An attractive 100% human-looking woman (I believe the only survivor) interacts with our male lead so that they can solve a problem at hand (like communicatin...

I am trying to find a book that I read a long time ago but I can't remember the author or title. Time travel was like an elevator and the main characters (man and girlfriend) travel to the distant future and distant past. I remember the extreme future mankind has gone but I remember the planet w...

In the Framework, after Jemma confronts Coulson and leaves, he takes out a folder that contains, among other things, a postcard from Tahiti, and a page filled with "It's a magical place" repeatedly written on it. That's pretty clearly about Coulson's resurrection. But I'm not very clear about the...
