Q: Was Delphi (and her plot twist) Foreshadowed In Previous Harry Potter Books?

Cursed Child Is WeirdI have finally just got to reading Cursed Child. It was revealed that Delphini, or Delphi, is the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix. Was this ever implied in the books? Wouldn't there have been something? I actually spent the greater part of the week trying to figure out if J.K. Rowling implied...

Q: Werewolves in Tolkien: why this name?

releseabeThey lack the main characteristic of werewolves elsewhere, namely, changing between men and wolves. The closest thing werewolf-like about them is possessing human intelligence. So is there any reason that Tolkien chose to call them that?

Q: Fantasy novel (series?) involving hibernating dragons who are harvested and a woman in a loveless marriage because her husband is secretly gay

FuzzyBootsI read this about two years ago, I think. I think the novel opens with the scene where the dragons are sinking into swamp to hibernate until it's time (until the magic returns, maybe?). Some time later, there's a woman who wants to study the dragons and their lore, but her father is forcing her i...

Q: First appearance of the shtick of mutants who are shunned?

Ben CrowellI just finished reading The Chrysalids, a 1955 book by John Wyndham about a world after a nuclear apocalypse in which people superstitiously kill or exile mutants. The idea of ionizing radiation causing scary or weird mutations is obviously one of the most commonly occurring SFnal ideas of the 19...

Q: Why didn't the Imperial fleet detect the Millennium Falcon on the back of the star destroyer?

LincolnManHan Solo fools the Imperial Navy by clamping onto the back of one of the star destroyers just when they thought the Millennium Falcon jumped to hyperspeed. Why didn't the Imperial Navy detect a ship clamped on the back?

Q: Should Dwarves be depicted as bearded and hairy?

ObscureOracleIn some fantasy stories, Dwarves just live underground because that's what they do. But in some, it's said that Dwarves were created or born underground and made their way to the surface somehow. In a story such as this, should Dwarves be depicted as men and/or women with gigantic beards? Because...

Q: Short story called "Daddy needs shorts", baby unconsciously saves his father from electrocution

user133785The story is seen from the point of view of a baby who only vaguely understands what is happening, but who saves his father from electrocution by creating a 'short' in the electricity. The lead-up, from a statement by the father that he needs a new pair of shorts, to the ending, takes many steps.

Q: Has Peter ever shared his secret web formula with the other Spiders?

ShreedharI'd assume that Spider-Girl (or sometimes also called as Spider-Woman and is the daughter of Peter and MJ Parker) may have received the formula from her dad. However, speaking of the other spiders (Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy etc.), did Peter share his secret formula with anyone else? This could be...

Q: How did Korra defeat Unavatu anyway?

user4951Korra lost raava. That means she is just a regular bender, not even an avatar anymore. Then a bunch of things start not making sense. Unalag becomes "big" and want to bring "darkness". I think south park parody this in one of their episode. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha-Streisand What's the...

... I was going to post that in the Screening Room, but you weren't pingable there (!)
Never thought I'd see the day that you're pingable in SFF and Lit chats but not in M&TV chat :-P
 
@Randal'Thor Don't you know? All the cool people hang out here.
 
Even the cool M&TV people hang out here!
Speaking of which, haven't seen @steeler for a long time.
 
Exactly!

@Randal'Thor It's okay. It's appreciated you did so in a calm and constructive manner. Fortunately messages can be moved.

Q: How are people recognizing this person from the end of The Mandalorian Episode 9?

MachavitySome minor spoilers ahead. Fair warning. Episode 9 (S2E1) saw our hero return to Tattooine looking for another Mandalorian. Instead we find someone in some familiar green armor trying to pretend to be one (which makes Mando none too happy). Anyways, they strike a compromise to fight a Krayt Drago...

Q: Book featuring an encounter with a mind-reading centaur

Allie HibI read this book many years ago, it has been plaguing me for like 12+ years. It was definitely about a group of kids on a weird planet - for sure a girl and a boy. They definitely had some sort of magic stone or gemstone, and maybe they were trying to get more? The only part I specifically rememb...

The body makes it clear that's not the one though.

Q: Short story (Asimov?) involving incorporeal beings working on how to manipulate matter

Kara PottsLooking for a short story where two incorporeal beings meet, and one shows the other something they've been working on: the ability to manipulate matter. At the end of the story, I thought this one was an Asimov, but my searching has proven fruitless so it's probably a completely different author.
