This is what I do remember about this manga. I read it i would say about a year ago. The Main character I believe is transported to another world. He goes and registers as an adventurer and meet a woman (I believe he helps her). For his kindness she takes him to a restaurant, and she orders food ...

I read this book some time ago and can't seem to find or remember the name of it. It's about a girl who gets powers from an alien boy, I think he tried to save her from an enemy alien race that emitted darkness where he emits light. I remember the government being onto it and controlling the alie...

I was just thinking about the Data-derived androids in Picard being used for physical labor on Mars, which is further in the future than when copies of the Voyager doctor were being used to scrub the widgets. They seem to highlight the androids' strength as their most striking contribution, while...

I am not sure this was in SF&F, but it's about a researcher who is training a mouse to be more intelligent. He makes great gains, as documented in his weekly typed reports; he is able to communicate with the mouse. In his penultimate report, he tells how the mouse saved his life. The narrator ...

I know of the version which was the condemned human convict but this is not what I am looking for. I mean a human with a human brain but it is nonetheless loyal to or under the control of Skynet. Perhaps pure human flesh would be too frail vs metal cyborgs but it would also be undetectable. In an...

I know they use dogs which is plausible and dogs are mobile but would not a pressure plate at the entrance be another approach with the advantage being avoidance of the dog making noise when it does detect a Terminator, this precipitates a battle immediately. A pressure plate could relay info to ...

So it's basically a comic book where a girl with pinkish hair was up late at night and was getting a snack from her fridge door. Once she opened the door it was a unreal universe/dimension. The girl fell though and had to gain help to get back to the door which it was still floating in the air. T...

I have seen all the movies and read all the books and quite familiar with the fact that all Death Eaters have Dark Mark on their forearm. Severus Snape was a prominent Death Eater and Voldemort's one of the most trusted one. But I never got an impression that he had a Dark Mark too neither in the...

In the English novel American Gods, Neil Gaiman uses a neat linguistic 'trick' that affects several significant story points: I'm curious how translations in other languages handle this. Examples are welcome. Note: I did not see the TV show yet

In the film The Flash (2023), Bruce Wayne states: If a person is stupid enough to mess with time... what you eventually end up with is this. The multiverse. Assuming the Flash is the first time-traveler, does this mean the Flash created the multiverse? Note: I am only interested in the context ...

In the film The Flash (2023), Bruce Wayne states: When you go back and change the past you create a fulcrum. You put yourself on a whole nother strand of spaghetti. The Flash moves along the timeline, stops at some point, and then a fulcrum/timeline is created. Thus, something new. Doesn't this...

a man and a woman are want to buy a planet . the woman opens a box and the salesman shouts: " don't open it, it's a black hole" and they all fall into it.

I once read that in one of the Discworld novels, Granny Weatherwax is playing cards against Death over the life of a small child, and Death deliberately let her win. If I recall correctly she says: "I have 4 kings" and he replies "Oh, I have only 4 ones" referring to Aces which beat kings, but he...

In Star Trek VI, after the assassination of Chancellor Gorkon, the Enterprise crew begin an investigation seeking clues aboard the ship in order to exonerate Kirk and McCoy. As a co-conspirator, Lieutenant Valeris should want to slow their progress and misdirect as much as possible. Indeed, as a ...

Several science fiction and fantasy franchises have different approaches to what is or isn't considered 'canon' to the body of work. As an example Star Wars used to use a tiered system of determining what is and isn't canon, developed by Leland Chee, to cope with having multiple writers contribut...

Preface: I have done some diligence on this network of exchanges, as well as on other sites. The best attempt at an answer was in Quora, but I consider that almost as worthy a reference as Urban Dictionary. According to Quora, there are some seatbelts shown used when Ben and Luke take their firs...

This is what I remember from the manga. The manga starts out with our main character getting kicked out of the party he is in (I think it is the hero's party) for being to weak. It turn out that he has given each member of the party some of his power over the 3 to 5 years he has been with them. W...
