In the Game of Thrones Season 8 finale before leaving for Jon apologises to Bran and says: I am sorry I wasn't there when you needed me. To which Bran replies" You were exactly where you were supposed to be. What is Jon apologising for and what does Bran mean exactly?

A Discovery of Witches episode 1, Diana Bishop is giving a lecture on the history of science. In the audience, sitting next to Gillian (herself an unlikely person to show up for a lecture on alchemy, as Diana later remarks), there's a lady who looks suspiciously like Deborah Harkness. Did the aut...

Currently rewatching and in Iron Man 3, Stark first meets this woman (Brandt) who was an Extremis soldier in a bar. He was able to kill her with an explosion. However, in an earlier scene, another Extremis soldier (Savin) who was also caught up in another explosion, survived. Furthermore, he was...

Aliens with antennae threaten humans when their ship breaks down on another planet so the humans try to escape. Some or one of the aliens help the humans escape

as far as I know, Arya didn't see the night king before, So how she identifies night king in season 8 episode 3: The Long Night

When Bran got his Three Eyed Raven Powers, it is reasonable to see Bran's company (Meera, Hodor, etc.) believe that he has these visions because they can actually see even the Children of the Forest. But how did Tyrion and many others easily believe to what Bran says? Personally, I think it shou...

What does the Soul stone do? Why is it so important? Are the Mind and Soul Stone the same thing? In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos has to sacrifice his own daughter to get the Soul Stone when the Soul Stone seems useless.

He could killed Jhon Snow if he wanted to... I mean he just was told that king must decide and that the king would be chosen by lords and ladies and he agreed... Why on Earth would he do that?... I don't think that he was afraid of battle or war...

Why didn't Jon just tell that she flew away with her dragon? He could say that, escape from the unsullied and then tell the truth. I understand that there was blood and melted throne, but he could come up with something.

In the final episode of Game of Thrones, Drogon is taking Daenerys And flying away. Is it mentioned anywhere in the show or in the books where they're headed and what Drogon plans to do with her?

At the seasons finale we learn that ! The North remains an independent kingdom and that the Seven Kingdoms get renamed to the Six Kingdoms. ! The wall is the northern border of the North. And following the above it is not in the Six Kingdoms anymore. So the king of the Six Kingdoms has n...

In the Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, when Harry used the Cruciatus curse on Bellatrix after she killed Sirius Black, is there any specific reason why she remained almost completely unaffected by it?

To me it makes sense, I'm not sure if I missed something along the way. It also backs the point Dany would do no good for the world as queen of Westeros Thanks

In the Game of Thrones finale, S08E06 The Iron Throne we can see Bran the Broken being chosen as King of the 7 Kingdoms, but Sansa claims for the North to be independent hence making the realm of 6 Kingdoms. We could expect the other Lords to step for their own realms and also asking for indepen...

He is a man of honor. When he killed her, he even didn't escape but told the truth. But than why did he kill her with a backstab? Not literally, but he kissed her and she didn't know that he has a weapon. I understand that maybe, he couldn't kill her other way, but that's not very honorable anyway

In the GoT finale, Sansa said that Bran couldn't father a child. And then, this fact was used by Tyrion Lannister to persuade Grey Worm that My question is: How could anyone know that Bran was infertile? Nobody had access to advanced technology to determine that and Westeros would definitely h...

In the GoT finale, when Jon killed nobody was there to see it. Even the body was nowhere to be found because Drogon took it. How did Grey Worm and the Unsullied learn that and Jon was behind this murder?

What is the episode with a scene where Data has to choose between three different time anomalies with him in each? Data asks which one is the correct time frame in the scene and having chosen the right one the crisis is resolved.

When Tyrion nominates Bran to become King of the Six Kingdoms, Bran replies with a cheeky "Why do you think I came all this way?" response. This implies on some level that he had already known beforehand that the events leading up to the final battle would result in him being at least chosen or n...

This has been bothering me since I was a child. In the 1997 game Final Fantasy 7, there's a point in the second disk where: This fight is unique in the game, however, because it's a slap-fight with added dialogue. However this seems very out of character. Tifa is known to be a skilled martial...

Ever since we learned Jon Snow was I have been waiting to see if he can get burned, or if he's immune like Daenerys. Every time it seemed like this theory is about to be tested, it wasn't. When he was facing the dead dragon in S08E03, Is there any part in the show that would suggest if he's...

About twenty minutes into the DW Season 2 premiere, not long after she's possessed by Cassandra, Rose's jacket just disappears. What gives?

So in the council in Game of Thrones S08E06 where the new King is elected in we see 15 (if I counted correctly) remaining Lords and Ladies representing various areas/houses. I can easily see: Sansa, Bran and Arya for Stark/Winterfell/The North Gendry for house Baratheon and presumably the Storm...

In Alistair Reynold's House of Suns, there is the concept of creating a stardam to prevent unstable stars from destroying nearby systems when they blow up. It says: A stardam would be erected around the supergiant. When the star blew up, its energies would be contained within the dam, trapp...

In Star Trek TOS Episode The Menagerie, we see on a visit to Talos IV, singing plants. This was produced in 1966. On reading John Astor's A Journey in Other Worlds, we also read of singing plants on another planet. This was published in 1894. My question is: Are the musical plants in Star Tr...

I'm looking for a short story of a person whose conversations all ran alphabetically. I think it's a rather known short story (I read it initially in German, but don't know, in which language it was originally written). The first part is of the man reminiscing about a visit at a bar, where he t...

A picture is worth a thousand words but I must type 30 characters to find out the answer

As we saw in Game of Thrones S08E05 the queen went on a rampage killing everyone, but is it really possible for a dragon to break the walls like piles of wood? I am quite amazed, if they can do it so easily then they could have been better used against the White Walkers in S08E03. My question i...

Earlier in the season Jaime tells us: Tormund: I'm no king. But if I were, I'd knight you 10 times over. Jaime: You don't need a king. Any knight can make another knight. Game of Thrones, Season 8 Episode 2, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" He then proceeds to knight Brienne. In t...

In The Hero of Ages, there is a scene where However, it doesn't seem to try to get it until quite a while later, after many troops have moved there, and keeps doing what it had been far away. In other scenes, Elend was avoiding talking because it could hear conversations. Why couldn't it hear ...

Trying to find this old movie I saw when I was like 12. I believe it was set in a small town, there was a shapeshifting alien that could take the farm of anyone. I think a special ops team comes to take it out but they can, the alien didn't only shapeshifter it could like rapidly heal itself to. ...

In The Hero of Ages, it is revealed that So, if they were trying to do this, were they only affecting Allomancers, or were they indiscriminately doing this to random people?

In S1:E13 Karma Chameleon of Timeless, only Rufus and Wyatt go back in time in an attempt to stop Wyatt's wife's killer from being born. In earlier episodes, most clearly in S1:E1 (Pilot) and S1:E4 (Party at Castle Varlar), we have seen that the people who don't travel in time remember only the ...

In Avengers: Infinity War, we see that after Thanos snaps his fingers, he appears in a scene where he is in an orange space (the soul stone?) with a child version of Gamora. However, in Avengers: Endgame, we see that both Hulk and Iron Man snap, and nothing extra happens. Is there some reason...

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the ministry of magic was infiltrated by Voldemort and Death Eaters so that Voldemort and Death Eaters could take control of the ministry. However, Order of the Phoenix was also another resistance force against Voldemort and Death Eaters. Why didnt Volde...

I originally read this in the 1980s or 1990s; the author was considered up-and-coming at the time, but not really well-known. The two main characters were a 'courier' and a wealthy student; the 'courier' wasn't a messenger so much as an escort into the 'hidden worlds'. The hidden worlds were only...

In a bookstore in the 1980s, I read the first pages of a hard science fiction novel that began with the memorable description of some creature or ship or intelligence that was like a shark swimming through space with the singular goal of turning anything it encountered into "shark shit". For som...

In Game of Thrones, several dialogues mention the lengthy winters and the fears they impose on people. We know that the weather system in Westeros is quite different from our world, and each season may last for ages. From the beginning of the first season, the Starks' motto was winter is coming, ...

There is still one person left on the Is it possible that Ilyn Payne is still alive after In other word, where is he and could Arya kill him ?

The great snow wall was destroyed by the white walker dragon in season 7. Now in season 8 in last episode they are showing the wall again, how is that possible? And white walkers are dead, why jon snow and his army is there ? from whom they are protecting?

How is it even remotely plausible that the Dothraki and the Unsullied, who have pledged unconditional loyalty to Dany, do absolutely nothing when Jon kills her? They live for her. It is absolutely not believable that they sit idly by, and are merely content with "imprisoning" Jon, or having hi...

This certain seems like a duplicate of Why aren't MCU movies featuring Coulson after Avengers? However that question is a little more general and all the answers are from the Avengers: Age of Ultron timeframe. I haven't watched Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., but it seems like, given the all encompas...

I'm talking about superheroes chilling out, maybe in a bar, going for a walk, discussing their lives, exchanging stories, ideology, philosophies.......kind of like "My dinner with Andre", "Before sunrise/sunset/midnight" kind of stuff. Like in Age of Ultron- the party scene, or the talk between ...

The question stands as in the title. Has Ursula L. Guin ever admitted that she was influenced by the Kibbutz system writing the dispossessed? If she has, to what extend she accepted the influence?

Question in Spoiler tag below Thanks

Most of the people listen and respect Charles(who has great power). I can understand this. Also, Magneto also has similar abilities(age, experience, power). But his ideologies are different. compare these two please? Same case for Superman(power, his saint-like nature), although The Justice leag...

When Tony Stark was captured by Killian in Iron Man 3 (2013), Killian quoted the following as something that his grandfather used to say: The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. But why did Killian mention this? Is it somehow significant to the events in the movi...

In Off to be the Wizard the shell program that does all the magic for the wizards is programmed so that it only listens to the spells if the wizard is holding his staff (or wand). But why would they restrict themselves so much - wouldn't it make sense to have at least some "emergency" spells read...

Tags like daenerys-targaryen or jon-snow, for example, would surely have more than enough questions to be justified, and I personally would consider them very useful. So I'm just curious why they don't exist, was there ever a conscious decision to not create any character tags for Game of Thrones?

Grey Worm acts like a genocidal maniac on the battlefield just because his queen decided to start burning buildings. Why does he not kill her murderer?

In Era 1 of the Mistborn series, some Allomancers wear mistcloaks. Vin, Kelsier, and Zane all wear them at times and they seem to have a consistent design. Did they exist before the Lord Ruler?

Towards the end of the final episode of Game of Thrones Jon is talking with the remaining Starks and says to Bran "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you" but what does he mean? The only time Jon could have done anything to protect Bran was the 'Hold the door' moment and being pushed out if the tower w...

In the Legend of Korra we find out that Toph moved to the swamp alone and has been there for some time. Is there any explanation, definitively or implied, as to why she moved there?

Can Tyrion, as the most senior successor to be ruler of Casterly Rock, still be head of House Lannister as well as being Hand of the King?

The show has shown us all manner of fates. Is there ever a mention of this group of Lannister soldiers outside of Arya's only interaction?

This is a kids movie about kids; what I can remember from this pretty old movie is vague. A boy reads a book, in that book is a scene where a man or a boy is riding a horse to a fountain. They try to drink from it but it affects them, freezing the 2. The boy who reads this book tries to skip a ...

Paperback from the 70s or 80s. It might have been part of an Adult themed series. (much like the Longarm western series) But I am not sure. Couple on a planet in a field (maybe newlyweds fooling around) A slaver spaceship lands to abducts them. (The man might have fought back, and gets killed so...

Read in the 1990s. I don't think it was by any of the famous SF authors. The setting is contemporary or near-future for the 1990s. A man, I think a farmer from Eastern Europe, had an accident. When he woke up he was speaking in tongues and suddenly super-intelligent. He started some kind of cult...

In S08E06, Daenerys gave a speech to her Unsullied and Dothraki troops where she said Other than the troops, who of the listeners would have understood what she was saying?

I asked this question: What is Agent Coulson's status as of the end of Endgame? which multiple people insisted is a dupe of Why aren't MCU movies featuring Coulson after Avengers? The particularly important context here is that Endgame is somewhat unique due to its pervasive cameos of nearly eve...
