In *Words of Radiance *, chapter 55, after Shallan hugs Wit (aka Hoid), Adolin jealously tells Wit: Stick to women your own age. To which Wit cryptically replies: Well, that might be a little harder. I think there's only one of those around these parts, and she and I never did get along. A...

I thought it was a Ray Bradbury, but I can't seem to find it. There's something going on where the world (or that town) is getting hotter and hotter, and there's three kids who have bikes. I think they go into this tunnel or something? And it gets hotter and hotter. I don't really remember, but...

I read this one two+ decades ago, I think in Omni magazine. It was a story told from the father's perspective--he's the CEO of a company that finds alien technology and is studying it, then his daughter for some reason (accident? sickness?) has to undergo an experimental treatment using their te...

In season two of Stargate there is an episode called "The Fifth Race" where Jack is implanted with Ancient knowledge that leads him to the Aguards. During this episode Captain Carter leads SG1 to a planet where they dial in to SGC to say a second, closer and hotter sun has risen and they will die...

This might be a duplicate or debatable. But as far as the releases of the books & TV series. Who should be ruling Westeros as per the laws of that continent? Ignore usurpers. Is it Daenerys Targaryen or Jon Snow(Targaryen)?

Whilst reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stome, I noticed mild differences between it and the British version. (Sherbet lemons became lemon drops. Moterbike became motercycle etc) Of course, this was done to make it more accessible to Americans, but it got me wondering if they regionized it...

The school Harry Potter attends is called Hogwarts. I noticed that it contains the names of its four houses/founders in a well-organized manner: Hufflepuff O Gryffindor W A Ravenclaw T Slytherin Is this a mere coincidence or was this intentional from the author? Edit: I am open for both...

'Have you got it here?' [Bilbo] asked in a whisper. 'I can't help feeling curious, you know, after all I've heard. I should very much like just to peep at it again.' (...) When he had dressed, Frodo found that while he slept the Ring had been hung about his neck on a new chain, light...

In the now classic TV show Doctor Who, all the enemies of the Doctor are scared only by hearing his name, everyone in the show says he's invincible and technically he always wins. But in the end, as much as I love the show, I still feel he's just a really smart character with a sonic screwdriver...

We know Galadriel tempted the members of the Fellowship, did she tempt Boromir with visions of taking the ring and saving Gondor? In the books, Boromir willingly accepts the judgement of the council that the Ring should be destroyed, but after the meeting with Celeborn and Galadriel his personal...

Lady Stoneheart storytelling did not appeared in the show whereas she's present in the recent novels of A song of Ice and Fire. Did the author or the producers of the show justified this choice in any way ?

once again I have a half remembered show that is bugging me. The show was a mystery of the week kind of show sort of like X files but with a more comedic tone. The show also featured a computer that was powered by the Rosetta stone, and a comic relief character who happened to be a pig human hybr...

Many big Sci-Fi and Fantasy works, such as Harry Potter and Star Wars, have so much material spanning multiple media types that they have to be pruned every now and again and redefine different levels of canonicity. For example, before Disney came along, there were (I believe) 5 different types o...

During the series, we learn that Jessica's parents and brother were killed in a car accident that she somehow survived. During her hospital visit, Trish and her mom visit her at the hospital and tell her that she's going to go live with them. As far as I am aware, they aren't relatives at all. ...

We know Pluto (Hades) as the Lord of the Underworld and Riches. He has a rather bitter personality and I find him rather "pessimistic", seeing the darker side of everything. Nico di Angelo appears to have inherited this personality trait from him. However, we see Hazel as very cheerful, not so ...

I've been trying to identify this for years: I remember reading a DC comic book at some point in the late '90s where an alien race invades and occupies Earth. The aliens occupy Earth for several years, and the superheroes are driven underground. The various DC heroes (Superman, Batman, Flash, ...

In aSoS, Catelyn VII, Catelyn begs Walder Frey to let her injured son go and keep her and Edmure as hostages in his stead. Robb refuses: "No." Robb's voice was whisper faint. "Mother, no..." "Yes. Robb, get up. Get up and walk out, please, please. Save yourself... if not for me, for Jeyn...

In a fragment from Tolkien's incomplete revisions to The Lay of Leithan, the following appears: Southward he turned, and south away/his long and lonely journey lay,/while ever loomed before his path/the dreadful peaks of Gorgorath. Beren and Lúthien p. 272 (American edition) This passa...
