Basically what the title says. I'm fairly certain pianos aren't canon in the Star Wars universe, but has there ever been an instance (in the EU, Disney canon, or non-canon works like LEGO Star Wars) where a piano has existed?

I have a scene in my head, but I don't remember the movie it is from. The scene features a woman and a man having enthusiastic sex in a laboratory observation room, while being observed by researchers or law enforcement types. As best I can recall, the context is that the woman is either a humano...

In Dead Space, the zombies created by Markers are called Necromorphs. Supposedly, the Marker manipulates cells to turn them into monsters. However, this results in the Necromorphs having long limbs and even claws. The question is, if Necromorphs are just mutated dead cells, how do they grow an ex...

Before I get into it, I have to say I've only seen this once, and not all of it. As the title says, it was in the late 90's/early 2000's. What I do remember of it is that it involved some alien(?) criminal who had committed a very large amount of crimes having been finally caught and his sentence...

In David Brin's The Practice Effect (published 1984), the main character references a science-fiction story he had once read in which a minute change in electrical conductivity resulted in a tenfold increase in human intelligence. The story is not named, however. Is this referencing a real stor...

This girl with no magic is at a magic academy. She fights another girl. A guy arrives. There was a balcony scene. He somehow gives her magic. She gains magic and fights again (i think) this time I think there was more people fighting with or against her. There was a library scene. The I remember ...

How'd the fire nation justify its war? Was there some kind of propaganda that the other nations' leaders were corrupt or something? Or did they just say, what, 'we can rule better than they can'? The only parts of the series I remember that talk about the fire nation's justification are in S03E06...

I've been searching for tens of minutes for this quote from ender's Game series of books by Orson Scott card but can't find it. The son of the family Ender befriends is mentioned by the elders to be mature. There is a vignette which describes the way the son has a knack with few words to make the...

Clearly "The Good Doctor" is from Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", "The Count" from Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and the "The Great Detective" from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's works. "Jack" is a reference to Jack the Ripper. What about: Crazy Jill Rastov Morris and McCab Owen The vicar Larry In the book'...

Imagine some civilization living scarcity free, under the care of some automated system. Now, imagine the machine requires some maintenance for the first time in several generations, but the population, enfeebled by luxury, is unable to perform this maintenance. Civilization collapses. This plot ...

The story takes place in a small village that has banned technology and musical instruments. We only hear a bit about the outside world when he eavesdrops on his parents. The protagonist also hears that he's not his parents' son; he's a clone of "dad's" former colleague, an outstanding scientist,...

A female main character was transported to another world. I'm not sure if it was the game itself where she was transported. She had a black hair and got her own character as her body. It started when she was playing the game, talking with her friends and supposed to meet the "newbie." She even bo...

The Shrek franchise is loosely based on a picture book by William Steig called Shrek!. In said book, there is a fortune teller who foretells Shrek's happy ending. This witch was the inspiration for Dama Fortuna in the Shrek alternate opening, "Fiona's Prologue," who went on to become the Fairy Go...

I am looking for the book title (perhaps it was a short novel, my memory here is cloudy) in which the main hero was wanted by law enforcement and there have been flying police robots who scanned the city. In the same book, there was a story about a high-caste of people who have been creating new ...

The book series takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, I don't know how the world ended up like that. The first book is about the main character that lives in a village where all use of technology is prohibited. He is kind of an outsider since he is always curios and the village elders don't li...

I’m trying to find a book I read, possibly during 2018 or 2019. It’s a young adult book with a collection of short stories about bioengineering and genetic modification. The most memorable story is about a person made up of other people, created using one person’s heart, another’s brain, and so o...

I'm looking for a short story in a compilation that I read in the 70s/early 80s at the latest in which a couple of astronauts visit a village where everyone carries a "blob" attached that disfigures them but makes them part of a happy collective mind. The woman decides to join first, the man hesi...

At the end of the episode, the transporter patterns stored in the holosuite me...

Trying to find a story I remember reading many years ago, likely in the early to mid-1990s. Not certain about the length or publication date - it's possible I read it in one of the anthologies of scifi short stories/novelettes collected by my grandmother (mostly from the 1950s/60s), but I'm not s...

So on the wiki it says that the bifrost draws its power from the center of Asgard. Does that mean the palace or the very very center of the floating rock that is Asgard?

This is a story from an Anthology, I cannot recall the author but I may have first read it in the 1960's or 1970's. The title actually refers to the protaganists superior, who charges him with solving the technical problem of a strange new weapon that enemy aliens are using against us. The aliens...

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a title and author for a vintage book (early 1980s) in which a bunch of astronauts are onboard a space station when World War III happens. I think in one part they attempt to land on Earth with a space shuttle, there's discussion of repopulation, and ...
