Q: Why hunt replicants?

Jorge CórdobaThere’s been at least 4 or 5 years since I saw the movie so it may be there and I don’t remember but I don’t understand the whole purpose of hunting Replicants. For the most part they seem to be hiding and living normal lives, not wanting to be found. They seem to want to be left alone anyway. Th...

Q: Does the watcher reside in a different Universe in episode 8 of What-If...?

BradeSomething I have been wondering is whether or not the Watcher in What-If...? is in a different Universe or just in a separate dimension. The reason behind this is because of Ultron and the Infinity Stones. In the comics, one of the major plot points with the Infinity Stones is that the only work ...

Q: Story Identification: Teen boy going into some virtual reality place (christian novel, late 90s')

My recollection was that the main character, a boy, around 13.. his father had some shiny device, that w...

The linked article says: Since Alice Krige returned to voice the Borg Queen in Star Trek: Lower Decks, Trekkers may wonder why the cyborg monarch was recast with Annie Wersching in Star Trek: Picard....

Q: First Sci-fi or Fantasy Story to Break the Fourth Wall to Make the Reader a Protagonist in Its Story

Silly but TrueI was recently re-reading Grant Morrison’s The Multiversity series, and it dawned on me that one of his books was an almost page-by-page ripoff of something I had read years earlier, like when I was maybe five. The Multiversity is a nine-part comic event published by DC Comics comprised of a two-...

Q: Why can't Harry Potter see the threstrals in the books before the 5th?

CrazyCodingIn the Harry Potter books, you can only see a threstral if you've seen someone die? In the 4rd book, Harry sees 'horseless carriages', but after seeing Cedric's death, in the 5th book he can see the threstrals. Why couldn't he see them in the first place, as he saw his parents die?

Q: Maths for Describing Reactionless Drives?

Christopher WSo I am trying to describe and understand the limitations of a reactionless drive, with maths. The main issue is that they don't exist (and violate the laws of motion). Fortunately, this is science fiction. Assuming they did exist, what equations would be useful in describing it's motion and the ...

Q: What was the first TV show or movie where the viewer could hear a character's thoughts?

jinkevinI was watching How to Get Away with Murder and in the final episode, Annalise has a brief mental debate on what to wear to the trial. This got me wondering what the first TV show or movie to do this was. Posting on Sci-Fi because hearing a character's thoughts is clearly impossible in real life, ...

Q: Does the Defiant have flares?

EmpressSvetlanaI was watching this clip from Behind Enemy Lines, where the jet drops flares to evade 2 missiles. A little research shows that both a standard runabout and the Defiant don't contain flares. It's possible that because they were never used, Memory Alpha doesn't contain any information about it. Do ...
