I would like to know if holodeck technology is a common amenity that is used on most planets in the Star Trek Universe. For example, are there large buildings that house large rooms with holodeck technology in which the general public can pay to have access to, or perhaps there are some wealthy p...

In the MCU movie Thor, Odin says that Thor's hammer "has no equal as a weapon to destroy, or as a tool to build." We see it used as a weapon plenty of times throughout the MCU's run, but I don't think I've ever seen it used as "a tool to build." Has it ever been employed as a tool, in the movie...

I remember reading this book as a kid. It was a hard-cover book with a picture of an alien jumping up and down or dancing in the bottom right-hand corner of the cover. It was definitely geared toward young adults or children. A chapter book. The protagonist is a boy who travels beyond the walls o...

SCORPIUS, ALBUS and DELPHI go to the tri wizard maze in HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD. Mad Eye Moody ( Barty Crouch JR ) was patrolling outside the maze. His magical eye could see through the hedges. Didn't he notice two boys and a young woman there ? He might have done so because CEDRIC ...

I read the novella about 5-6 years ago, but I do not know how old it is. I am also not sure, if it was written in German or English. In any case, it was quite short, maybe 150 pages and I had to order it directly from the publisher instead of Amazon e.g. The story was about a boy who worked on a...

As the title implies ; Do students wear any clothes under their robes ? ( like trousers for example ) . If yes, then on the hogwarts express they take off the clothes they are wearing and put on the robes ? This sounds weird as the trio often change robes in the same compartment. In the fifth ...

All I know about it is that it was written in the 2000s, its a Fantasy YA, with a woman as the protag and one of her love interests is a human half-breed with purple eyes. Its not a lot to go on but a guy with purple eyes cant be that common can it?

I have a memory from my childhood about an animation that starts in a utopian culture. The protagonists and the female supporting character discover their society is managed by mutated humans doing all the labor. This fact was hidden from the rest of the community. They rebel with the mutant bu...

At the end of the movie Kiki's delivery service there is a scene where reporter shouts: "Is it a bird? No, no it is a girl. A witch!" That greatly reminded me this scene from Superman: But it seems like a very unlikely reference in japanese animated movie. Is it...

I have been looking at some of the questions on the site about Warp collisions with stationary or non-warp speed particles, but is there any example (canon or otherwise) that discusses a battle taking place at warp in Star Trek? I'm not aware of any but wonder if anyone has looked at this before....

This phrase is taken from the fellowship of the rings ,book II, chapter 1(page261): it became part of the throbbing air about him, and it drenched and drowned him. What does "the throbbing air about him" mean?

Is there a name of the type of narrative used in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter novels, where the events are written about in third person but exclusively follows the perspective of Harry Potter? Only events that Harry experiences (or is told about) are written in the story. Even down to feelings a...
