The dragonriders were able to combat Thread by searing it midair with their dragons' fiery breath. However, records ...

My daughter stumbled on a show; I want to say it was on Netflix, but maybe it was Hulu. The anime centered around a kid and his friend(s) who had access to hi-tech cars. I want to say one of the kids dad/grandpa/uncle built them in his garage. It was circa 2020. She started watching Tobot and it’...

"Color of suit" "Names of parts"

I saw this movie along time ago when I was a kid. It’s a scary movie about a stone you can put the stones together and the father will turn into a monster or you could break the stone and the dad would turned into a monster, I can’t remember.

C-3PO states that he is fluent in over 6 million forms of communication, and it is assumed that Jesus is able to communicate with anyone on earth, no matter their native tongue. We also know that C-3PO was blasted and disassembled (died) and was restored (rose again). Are there any other parallel...

In POTC3, how old was Lord Cutler Beckett when he died aboard the Endeavour?

In the story there is a robot with a positronic brain damaged by having to listen to crew members tapping morse code messages to each other as they die in a crashed space ship. What is the name of this story, and what is the name of the book it appeared in?

I can't seem to remember the name or find it, but from what I can remember, the first few chapters feature the main character (MC) escaping a government facility using martial arts he learned. Afterwards, when he escapes, the MC gets picked up by two other supervillains who propose to team up. So...

About thirty years ago I read a book about a Welsh boy orphaned on a high gravity world of pirates. He grew up to become one of them, a d later in the story visited Wales to explore his origins. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

The son, now a baby, also came back in time but he hates his mom, the FL because he thought she abandoned him when in reality she died which he later finds o...

I really don’t remember much I was quite little (7-8) when I watched this film. I remember it giving me Star Wars vibes. The main male character (teen) has like a mentor or something, and after a fight the kid is left blind and has to carry on his mission or something… he had a bandana on his eye...

Sorry, that title is terrible but this is hard story to sum up. I read this short story sometime in the 80s, likely out of my dad’s extensive library of SF. What I can remember: I believe the setting is Earth. Humans have evolved into a telepathic society. The story focuses on a woman who was b...

As far as I remember, a couple of astronauts were visiting (repairing?) a satellite or some sort of space ship. There was a security system to deter intruders, maybe a robot, but it went haywire and just tried to kill the astronauts. They were trapped unless they could find a way to outwit the gu...

I remember watching an animated show on netflix in 2014 or 2015 about these rich british children? i dont remember many details about it except one specific scene where the girl comes in the house from the garden and gets up on a chair in order to sneak some of these green candies out of a box in...

What if in the book "Flowers for Algernon" the experiment dramatically increased Charlie's emotional intelligence (EQ) rather than his IQ? How would then his behaviour and the plot be different? What would have become of him?

I am trying to recall a short story from around 40 or so years ago. It involves two astronauts walking on the surface of the Moon and they are effectively blinded when their helmets become covered in moondust. If I recall, they try to rub it off but some sort of static electrical effect makes the...

In book 7 of The Expanse and those after, a series of events happen : They are described, the first time it happens and is witnessed on a global scale as a nonlocal event, as a way of explaining how it affected the entire solar system at once, disregarding the speed of light. However, each of t...
