This story was in Omni magazine. It concerns a convict given the death penalty. Before he dies, his soul is transferred to a different body, which is also killed, etc.

This is officially my new favourite website. You helped me find an obscure TV show based on half remembered babies in Biker gear in under 5 minutes! Truly fantastic. Here is another puzzler, now in the fantasy genre. Here's the list of remembered elements: It was a live action miniseries fr...

We know from New Who that the TARDIS was a "museum piece" when the Doctor stole (erm ,I mean "borrowed") her, which suggests that she may predate the Doctor himself. But are there any canonical statements of her actual age, and are there any canonical records of her history from before she met th...

So I just finished reading the one shot Onslaught Marvel Universe which can be seen as the climax in the whole Onslaught event: Shamelessly copied from the summary on marvel.wikia But what I don't understand is why:

So, many years ago, I read a book about an alien invasion (possibly). The details I recall are these: Someone discovers a new star (or shiny thingy). It turns out to be an alien fleet which has their engines turned towards Earth because they are decelerating. The fleet is pretty massive. Earth g...

We can gather from Attack of the Clones that Padme wanted kids: PADMÉ: Popular rule is not democracy, Annie. It gives the people what they want, not what they need. And, truthfully, I was relieved when my two terms were up. So were my parents. They worried about me during the blockade a...

When Snape learned that Lily Potter was in danger, he approached Dumbledore. In exchange for protecting Lily, Dumbledore asked for loyalty of Snape. But then, Dumbledore failed to protect Lily. It doesn't matter if it was Dumbledore's mistake or not, Lily was dead. Why would then Snape remain l...

During their fight on the Death Star in A New Hope, Obi-Wan refers to Darth Vader as "Darth" a couple of times. "Only a master of evil, Darth" "You can't win Darth" In their previous encounter on Mustafar, Obi-Wan repeatedly refers to him as "Anakin", even up to the very end. While it'...

Is Jyn Erso based on Bria Tharen? Because the final parts of the movie seem similar to Bria Tharen fate.

Can you help me identify a novel I read in about 2000. A girl is taken with her family to an alien planet, I think to escape a polluted Earth, and find a simpler way of life. The planet has a "wild west" feel to it. The native inhabitants are apparently only a remnant of an advanced culture. T...

So I was rewatching the sage lately and had certain question which I needed answers to from the scene where Luke surrenders to Vader in Return of the Jedi. The dialogue goes as follows (I'll put numbers beside the dialogues/actions to which I have the queries) . . . Vader: I see you have cons...

List of comics in which batman became a murderer or a psychopath? That is someone else had to stop batman.

Watchmen, the 1986 comic written by Alan Moore and drawn/lettered by Dave Gibbons, is recogniseable (among other features) for the schematic of its comic pages - they all use the 9-panel grid: Image source Sometimes the pages don't have exactly 9 panels, but the geometry remains the same: ...

So now that we have a teaser trailer, is there any indication that these uniforms are simply upgraded Enterprise uniforms, or is this pure "Abrams reboot"? They seem to bear little resemblance to the TOS or reboot uniforms If the above is blocked, you can watch ...

I'm trying to figure out the title to a book I read and never got to finish a couple of years ago. It's about a kid from another planet who's been hidden on earth as a normal boy by his "protectors" until he breaks a football record at his highschool and is then found by what I would call bounty ...

Snape truly loved Lily and his Patronus used to take form of Doe (the same Patronus of Lily). When Tonks started to feel for Lupin, her Patronus changed (which was described as rare incident) and started to take form of wolf (the same Patronus of Lupin). Although this looks emotional without a...

In the Sorcerer's Stone, Voldemort, acting through Quirrell, gets Hagrid drunk and "loses" a dragon's egg to him in order to find out how to get past Fluffy. That seems like incredible overkill. Surely Voldemort can teach Quirrell a sleeping spell, or just have Quirrell kill the dog outright. Not...

Even with extreme cold temperatures, a block of material loses its integrity over time because of quantum tunneling, radiation and halflife of elements. They have seen dinosaurs and humanity. Thats nearly one hundred million years. What is keeping them away from losing DNA information? What i...

This was the mid 90's. It revolved around a group of scientists who had the technology to enter a sleeping person's mind. When interacting in the sleeper's dreams they sometimes solved mysteries or helped the sleeper resolve issues the dreams were about - the first episode was about a Gulf War ve...

Okay, so I remember buying and reading this book in around 2000ish at a secondhand/used bookstore near my house. But, I unfortunately don't remember the name and the author of this novel. I want to basically read the book again and finish it this time. Since, back then I couldn't complete the las...
