Q: A universe not quite like ours

Andre DuvalOkay this is a story someone else was telling me about. I wanted to read it but he didn't remember the title. This was in the mid-eighties; the story itself must be at least that old. The protagonist invents a machine he believes will allow him to travel to parallel universes and steps through i...

Q: What are some examples of recycling of narration in science fiction?

MartinThe first one I recognized was while watching the original broadcast of The City at the Edge of Forever in Star Trek TOS. The narrator intoned, "Time is like a river." I thought, "Hey, I've heard that before." The same introductory line was used in Demon with a Glass Hand, an episode of Outer Li...

Q: How far does this chain of literary allusions extend?

MartinIn his collection Other Inquisitions, JL Borges has a short essay titled The Flower of Coleridge. He notes that the famous ST Coleridge quote about waking from a dream-like journey with a flower in one's hand as proof is similar to a key scene in HG Wells' Time Machine.

Q: Why did the Galactic Senate grant emergency powers to Chanceller Palpatine but would not vote to create a Republic army?

Neel DayalIsn't it almost the same thing? Didn't they know Palpatine's leanings on the military bill and that he would likely form an army. And why didn't the same senators feel dissapointed when Palpatine announced that an army would be created if many of them would not vote for the same? Did they regret ...

Q: Short story: post-climate-change, mega-rich underwater retreat

RaiganI'm trying to find a short story from a pretty recent collection (sometime in the past 5-10 years). The plot involves 2 people in a sub (some sort of male consultant/operative/spy, and a female pilot), in a world where climate change means really hot temperatures and permanent typhoons everywher...

Q: What was the actual legal or political process by which the Emperor dissolved the Senate?

Robert ColumbiaIn Episode IV, word spreads that the Emperor has just disbanded the Imperial Senate and that power would pass to regional governors. It seems a done deal at this point, as if the Emperor just had to wave his hand and poof, the Senate was automatically disbanded as a matter of law. On the other ha...

KronoXTapionI'm looking for a TV show that I watched when I was a kid (2000s). It's not Sliders, Parallax, Spellbinder, or Stormworld. It's about a boy who travels in a group with a girl and an old man (maybe a doctor or scientist), looking for some crystals-ish to fix a machine. They travel with a companio...

IuniaThis is based on the fact that Riddle diary was 16 and the Chamber of Secrets had been opened 50 years previously. That makes Voldy 66 in book 2 and ~70 in book 6. Bella was supposed to be the same age as him.

For those who don't know, Kirk and his landing party end up on an alternate Enterprise belonging, ironically, to an Empire. I am aware of an alternate ending for the Revenge of the Sith vi...
