When Spock was chasing, and beating Khan, over a transport in San Francisco, Uhura says to beaming both back to the Enterprise, while Chekov says something like:
Its impossible, they are moving!
But in the first movie, was the same Chekov that transported back to Kirk and Sulu, avoiding hi...
In the 1977 Marvel Star Wars #4 comic, which was part of an adaptation of A New Hope, there is an additional scene after the trash compactor stops where Luke tells C-3PO the unit number so that he can open the hatch.
I find it interesting that attention is given to this detail that is glossed ...
As we know, an early scene in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier was shot in Yosemite Valley.
Kirk is supposed to be climbing El Capitan. (See
). I don't imagine for one second that Shatner was actually on the face of el Cap, although el Cap is in the shot.
At ...
This story involves a doctor and a girl, as well as his family. The doctor gives a drug to the girl to treat her, as she has been falsely claimed not to be allergic to it. She dies, and her impoverished family is paid for her death.
So, I read this book in the mid-nineties (no idea if it was new or not). I can't recall the title (obviously), but relevant plot points:
It starts off like the Narnia series, where a young (tween) sister and brother are sent to live with relatives in a country estate.
If I recall correctly, ...
We know that the One Ring would have corrupted any mortal (humans, dwarves, hobbits, etc) or Elf who claimed it. Only Gandalf or another Maia (Saruman, say, or Radagast) could even have tried to wrest control of the Ring from Sauron—but even they would not have been immune to its corruption, mere...
Nardole is a cybernetic companion of River Song and The Doctor, first introduced in the Christmas special "The Husbands of River Song". The Doctor later "rebuilds" him, prior to the events of the Christmas special "The Return of Doctor Mysterio"; suggesting Nardole is primarily robotic, as such a...
In The Guardians Of The Galaxy, Vol. 2, there is a scene in which
How is Nebula able to accomplish this? And how does she survive?
It was a series of books, each with a collection of stories. I used to check these out at the library one at a time and scare myself silly:
One story was of a young man who kept seeing an older ghost staring at him through his window. The old ghost appear each night, would say "old wine in new...
Neil Gaiman's The Sandman ran for 75 issues; there was one "special" issue which told Orpheus' story, but it's not numbered. According to Neil Gaiman in The Sandman Companion, he was intending to end the series at some point, but it's not clear whether he intended the series to run for exactly 75...

I'm putting a new fence in my backyard. Some of the new posts will not be in the old holes. While digging a new hole, I came upon a pipe which is in the way. I don't know what it is for and I'm unsure if it's safe to put a post next to it.
I can see some hairline cracks in it, which may have been...
I'm working to create a fantasy/sci-phy world for my own nefarious purposes where swords can power star ships. However I have this vague recollection of having encountered a system like that previously in a book or game.
Does anyone have any thoughts or clues as to something like this?
No, they are not vulnerable to The One Ring
I'll approach this answer from 2 sides.
Why they wouldn't be tempted by the Ring
Why the Ring would never be in question
Finally, I'll clear up some misconceptions in other answers, just to be clear.
Why would the Valar not be tempted by the Ring?...
The Valar have such vast power that the Ring, containing a portion of the power of a Maia would be nothing to them and so they would have no reason to wear it. The visions of power the Ring can project into the mind of someone to corrupt them is a joke to the power they already hold. They partici...
