I'm hoping to identify an SF story (read it at least 20 years ago, I think), where Earth has set up a base on a distant world, and when the locals see how advanced they are, they quietly give up on themselves, and stop having children. The governor (or similar) from earth has conversations with ...

In the Good Omens television series, when Aziraphale is reading Agnes Nutter's book of prophecies, some flash up on the screen. Some of them are easy to read, and others are very faint. For instance: Some of them are clearly references to events in the series, such as the prophecy about the ...

Assuming that the different species of alien all originated on different worlds around different stars do we know where the "Human" lifeforms that make up the majority of the Star Wars films came from originally?

By the time of the Star Wars films almost every species has access to Space travel and Faster then Light Technology. Has it ever been mentioned where this came from, did a specific species go out and teach other species it came across, did several species discover it at around the same time?

Synopsis: Some people are born with special powers and they are called something in the book. The main character is one of these somethings and their power is essentially super-strength and is the daughter of the king. Therefore, she is forced to basically do his dirty work for him.

Why does the Empire allow its subjects to go around armed? Han Solo openly carries a blaster. Chewbacca carries his bowcaster. In Rogue One, Baze Malbus carried a heavy repeater cannon. How does this not draw attention of the Empire? It seems that if they want to control the universe, disarm...

Captain America served in World War II and Magneto's backstory revolves around his time in a concentration camp. Have Steve Rogers and a young Erik Lehnsherr interacted during WWII? Presumably with would have to be in the comics since the MCU and XCU have been distinct (for now)

My question is should the stones be returned to the same time and space? Ex: Sole ston...

All we know from the 2009 Star Trek film is the date when the star went supernova. However, we aren't actually given the date for the destruction of Romulus, only that the "fastest ship" was outfitted for a mission to inject red matter and form the black hole to contain the explosion. Was there...

Nero knows where and when Spock and the ship will emerge. I get that he's a "particularly troubled Romulan", but was there a reason for why he didn't just take Spock's ship and the red matter, cause the black hole to consume the star before it went supernova, and then deal with the rest of the w...

Observe the following two conversations between Kirk and Scotty. TOS: "The Apple" KIRK: Scotty, you're my Chief Engineer. You know everything about that ship there is to know. More than the men who designed it. If you can't get those warp engines working [Bridge] KIRK [OC]: You're fired. SCO...

I mean, was the pizza and video games that bad for his overall powers? Or was Thanos really that much stronger? Captain Marvel and Scarlet Witch both overpower Thanos during their little 1 on 1s. Why was Odinforce Thor no match for an Infinityless Thanos?

About 20 years ago I read a series of books that had the main character transfer into the body of prisoners on four moons of Jupiter. Would anyone know what the name of the series was? Thanks a lot!

I was watching and I noticed this shady character enjoying what appears to be a nice, freshly prepared lizard on a stick in downbelow. How does a lizard whose destiny is to be cooked over a slumdweller's fire get on a space station? I don't think importation is in this guy's price range, nor ...
