So this has been bugging me for years - but I remember a show that aired in the UK in the 90s (it could be British, maybe BBC - it also may not be) about aliens trying to track down humans (who may also have been aliens taking refuge on earth).
I'm looking for a short story about the end of the world, perhaps even the end of the universe. The story follows the mundane nighttime routine of, iirc, a couple. They put the kids to bed, do the dishes, put on the radio, and wait for the end of the world. There might be something up going upsta...
This is one of those childhood memories that have stuck to me through the years. I would have watched it between the mid-1980s and the late 1990s. Someone on a college campus, either a student or a teacher, develops an alter-ego device that turns them from nerd to college sensation. The scene whi...
I remember that she dies and gets reincarnated as a baby. There's also a scene where she sees all the element spirits in front of her and I think she was in a crib?? They go to visit their father's brother or friend and she goes to the training grounds with her brother and there's a kid there.
Some worlds in the original Might&Magic universe are named "nacelle":
(VARN) Vehicular Astropod Research Nacelle
(CRON) Central Research Observation Nacelle
(XEEN) Xylonite Experimental Environment Nacelle

I fail to see point in Dr. Meninx he is so short 'with us' and beside being a bigot doesn't contribute anything to the book apart from knowledge that there are people who are against existence of Machine People. Is he there just to be killed off to cast doubt on other character. And more importan...

The books themselves weren't incredibly long. There were three books in the series when I read them. I had read them in early 2000's/2010's - I remember they had something to do with the "shadows" as the kids called them.
The story is told from the perspective of multiple people (two were the ma...
From the book, Cress (2014), by Marissa Meyer:
Wolf rubbed his temple. “Let’s hope you never have to face off against the
queen’s real soldiers. I think we stand a chance going up against her
thaumaturges and special operatives, but the advanced soldiers are different.

At least 30 years ago, I read a short SF story about friendship between different planets.
In order to maintain good relationships between planets, it was the rule that one person from a planet would be send to another planet, with which this planet had a friendly relationship. This person was su...
Peter Parker is hired (sometimes in a freelance, sometimes in a full-time capacity) by J. Jonah Jameson's paper, The Daily Bugle, to take pictures of Spider-Man because he is the only one who can get clear pictures of him. Of course, the only reason that is true is because
Consequently, most sto...
