Trigger warning: question mentions death, depression, abuse of animals. I haven't been able to find this short story. I don't recall if I heard it as part of a podcast or read it online. The story features a bear whose mother dies. The bear reacts by seeking sympathy from the forest community ins...

Gene Rodenberry’s farsighted rule of zero melodrama for Star Trek, that was was actually strictly followed at least for the first few seasons of TNG, was quite unique in retrospect. Though I imagine some others must have experimented as well, however, I can’t think of any examples from cinema, TV...

It was a rather short novel or a long story, where a couple or a man travels to an unknown rural area in England for some work with high pay, where the master of that place is trying to reach the frequency of God by complicated sound experiments. I can't remember the name.

Obi-Wan says to Anakin: Obi-Wan: The only reason the council has approved your appointment is because the Chancellor trusts you. Why does Jedi even need appointment to meet council?

OK so the anime is about these girls that fly cold war era jets fighting against aliens that have stolen all of the world's advanced tech. It was only the pilot episode put out but for the life of me I can't remember what it is called and when I try googling it I find things like Yukikaze, and Gi...

In the book From a Certain Point of View, there's a story titled "Of MSE-6 and Men." In this story, a stormtrooper has a brief affair with an unnamed Imperial officer. It doesn't say specifically who this is, but I've seen people claiming that this officer is Tarkin. Wookieepedia doesn't list ...

In A Quiet Place, I saw a device like earbud in the girl's (the sister of the kids) ear on day 472. Later, her father gives her a new device which she refused at first, but later wore it on her head and ear. To test it, she made sound with her fingers but apparently she didn't hear anything I won...

In the very end of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Darth Vader went to the crash site of Ahsoka (he even picked her lightsaber). It almost seemed so touching to me (he cared after all that), but then I recalled that he had killed younglings at Jedi Temple and almost ch...

I remember the plot quite clearly but can't really find the short story title, hence my question to you. It's about a world where the main entertainment is "world-building", but more like "world-growing" really, since one does actually create the physical world - with people almost like real ones...

But AFAIK Batroc was captured and taken off the field in Captain America: Winter Soldier before Sam even got involved. What would Batroc’s beef be?

She kept hassling Harry about it, why didn't she try?

Story or book I read at least 10 years ago in which a girl is imprisoned in a black hole or black hole-like structure. She encounters longer-imprisoned, monstrously spaghettified cellmates. I feel it was a "battle between good and evil" story akin to A wrinkle in time.
