It's been a while since people are talking about the Avengers going back in time, in End Game, and would collect all the infinity stones and undo the "Snap", there by saving the day for all "half of the population of the Universe". But let's think for a moment, is it really possible? I have few...

I read this as a paperback in the 1990s in Ashland, KY. I think the cover had the eponymous castle with various characters seen in it. I think I later learned it was the second book in the series. The viewpoint character was a female from Earth, or a place very like it, who accidentally transport...

During the climax of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Tina briefly duels with Graves and their wands appear to lock with each other (see picture). I believe this also happens some other times in the later Harry Potter films other than Harry and Voldemort's duel in the graveyard during Gob...

Remember reading a book in elementary school in the 90's about a kid who was on a different planet with his father (a colonizer I think) and I think they must have had a school for the children and he meets a girl. They explore the planet together and that's about all I remember. I think maybe th...

It was a stand alone sci fi book, and in it there were helmets..? that stored information. I'm pretty sure it was set in a post apocalyptic future and it had old technology like hover crafts. There are are group of “heroes” looking for a lost helmet and they’re racing to find it before another gr...

In the "Dune Genesis" essay originally published in the July 1980 issue of Omni Magazine* Frank Herbert wrote: "I now believe that evolution, or deevolution[sic], never ends short of death, that no society has ever achieved an absolute pinnacle, that all humans are not created equal. In f...

I am looking for a short story that involves a plane crash. However, aliens intervene; while they can’t save the crash victims, they have technology that lets them say goodbye to their loved ones.

In Lost season 3, when Desmond tells Charlie about another vision where Charlie drowns, So did Desmond lie to him in order to fulfill something else he actually saw there and wanted to happen? I currently am watching season 4, so if that is explained later (which I doubt because of the last ...

Obviously I know that doing magic in front of muggles is against the wizard laws. But let’s say you have a wizard who is married to a muggle. The muggle is aware that magic exists due to having a Muggle-Born wizard in their family. Is the wizard aloud to use magic?

When Sauron is finally defeated near the end of Return of the King, why does his tower collapse? Is the collapse of the tower what triggers the ground collapse that (conveniently) consumes only his army, or is it the collapsing ground that levels the tower?

When I was in kindergarten I watched a British kids TV show about an alien girl who landed on Earth and was helped by 3 local kids to find the 3 keys she needed to save her dad on her planet. The girl could only eat these orange pills she carried in a funny box, and she was also chased all along ...

At the beginning of Best of Both Worlds, an away team beams down to the New Providence colony and is surprised to find that it is not there. The colony has been removed from the surface in a manner similar to what happened to the Federation and Romulan outposts in The Neutral Zone as well as the ...

Especially in the 5th book why does Harry Potter yell? His friends did nothing wrong but I get that the Dark lords return and all but why does it anger him? Why does he take it out to his friends?

Science and Science fiction is not clear to me. For example: When technology exist to travel to Mars but because we have not done it yet is it still science fiction? Building a city out of balloons can be done but since it hasn't been done does that make it science fiction? I'm not asking for a d...

In Warbreaker, people who die noble or brave deaths become Returned not surprisingly they return to the world and are considered gods. The Returned can choose to give up his life with their Divine Breath to help a particular person or problem. My question is, suppose a Returned would give his Di...

In order to give away one's Breath, one must say the correct Command with the intent to give away the Breath. This is in keeping with Endowment's Intent, which is to give things. Brandon has also said that Breath would be difficult to steal with Hemalurgy. In that sense, Breath must be given away...

I mean, one Odyssey article called “Evil Queens are the princesses that were never saved,” it says that Evil Queens are the women that “end up marrying the WIDOWED King.” But in earlier versions of the Snow White fairytale, the King WASN’T widowed coz his first wife was alive and was the Evil Que...

I think this book has something to do with D&D, but the basic set up is that the Hadron Collider malfunctioned and all of the infinite universes (multiverse theory) converged and combined to create an apocalyptic world where all of these universes overlap. The main girl has nanobots that can eat ...
