Mankind uses nuclear weapons to finally breach the force field and discover that a signal eas activated to aliens. Our ability to breach the force field told aliens we were advanced enough to come back check on! I read this in college and can't find it again!

I don't remember much, but I am sure about some aspects of the movie that might help. First of all, it's a cartoon, or an "animated movie", however you prefer. The style was pretty weird, and ugly, in a way. The main character was a dark haired boy in yellow jumpsuit named Philip. He was a space ...

This is a short story I read during the late 1980s, probably in an anthology book. Earth has been invaded by aliens, who have proven to be unstoppable - governments and countries are rapidly conquered and only a guerrilla style resistance force is left. The aliens landed in one place, and they ...

I don't remember how long Phillip K. Dick wrote the androids had been on Earth, I think they had merely arrived, but if that's the case, then, how can they have important jobs like Inspector Garland (that everyone at his fake office knew, including a human bounty hunter) or the singer Luba Luft (...

At the beginning of Runaways season 2, the parents are called by the police, who have supposedly found their kids. Of course, it's the wrong group. However, this other group of children is extremely similar to the Runaways in appearance: a Latino girl who looks vaguely like Molly with a very si...

I’m trying to identify a short story my dad read to me as a child. He said it was from a compilation of short-stories around the theme apocalypse and time-travel The plot line is something about scientists that find a way to send things back and forth between the present and the future. The story...

Last I recalled, it is Yoda's quote: Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. It has been mentioned lots of times in the canon that attachment is forbidden for a Jedi. While newbies were little bit "flexible" in this regard, how could Yoda, the grandmaster and the most power...

Okay, so when I was maybe 7 or 8 (so in 2005 or 2006) there was this show/movie I came across on Scifi. I don't remember a WHOLE lot about it clearly, but I remember there were two little girls, sisters, and they were running around together gleefully through the woods. They ran into a witch, a...

Could you talk some more about what the Garfenafuten Tuten-Juten Exiobalexis sort of does, cause it's stumped a few of us.

I have been reading some Interstellar facts and came across one which caught my attention. It is not really a fact though - more like assumption. Here it is: Although Doyle is presumed drowned after being struck by the tidal wave on Miller’s planet, his suit appears intact when the Ranger ...

Brandon Stark's uncle Benjamin told him that undead couldn't get past the wall because it was also fortified by magic. If that's the case, how did an undead ranger of Castle Black (who was tracked by John Snow's direwolf at night to Lord Commander's chamber) get past the wall? If he wasn't undea...

Who wrote this story and what was the name of the film? The generations of people "on board" think it's a planet. The stars have always been moving, no-one questions this. They have a leader - a special messiah type person who is chosen by each generation. The Leader is the only one with access ...

Many years ago I read a story about a time-traveler who was rescuing works of art which had not survived a nuclear war; it ended with his machine being destroyed and causing the nuclear war. Anyone have a clue what this story is, or the author?

We know from Warbreaker that people with large amounts of Breath make colors richer around them, and that to achieve Perfect Pitch one needs enough Breath to reach the second Heightening. In Words of Radiance, Wit is tuning an instrument and says "perfect pitch makes this so much easier than it u...

At the end of tale of the three brothers, it says: But though Death searched for the third brother for many years, he was never able to find him. It was only when he had attained a great age that the youngest brother finally took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. From th...

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets chapter 12, Harry Potter has a meeting with the most powerful wizard Headmaster Dumbledore, the one who everyone either respects or fears. In the meeting, but when Professor Dumbledore isn't present, Harry meets his pet bird. The bird looks ill and eve...

Trying to remember a book. I read it as a tween in the late 80s. Here’s what I got so far: A boy has to go on some kind of quest in another dimension (kind of like Narnia in that it was right there, but in a different universe that he got to by some normal way). He is on the quest for someon...
