Can't recall the author or name of this story, though it the idea and literary part would suggest Jack Williamson I can't find mention of it specifically. A self-aware robot, designed to work in the conditions on Venus, refuses to do that work and becomes a contributor to artsy poetry and "lit-cr...
Beginning with Season 2 of "Stargate: Atlantis", Colonel Steven Caldwell begins aggressively campaigning to replace Major Sheppard as head of Atlantis' military forces. Elizabeth Weir refuses and that refusal results in Sheppard being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. Afterwards, however, Caldwell ...
In Transformers: The Last Knight NON-Review, The Nostalgia Critic proposes that the Transformers movies have become so predictable that he can review The Last Knight without even watching it.
How accurate were the Nostalgia Critic's predictions about Transformer...
Spoilers for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes below.
Kubo is able to blame the destruction of the ape settlement and the apparent death of Cesar on the humans, wiling up the other apes and setting himself up as their new leader. However, the other apes only began following Kubo because they believ...
I've seen this picture on social media and was wondering why there are 2 Spiderman (Spidermen?). What's the storyline of this issue?
I had a still from a 50s sci-fi alien invasion film, the still long since lost, that showed an indoor area [room, shed, etc] where several townsfolk, including a policeman, were in a row in a kind of suspended animation in a standing position - but their feet were not touching the ground. Their e...
Given that the city is space-worthy, we have to assume that the windows in Atlantis are more than simple glass. And I'm pretty sure there were instances on the show where bullets ricocheted off the interior windows without harming them. However, when infected with the Iratus Bug virus, Sheppard s...
When Ronon Dex first started working with the Atlantis teams, he could often be seen with a large sword that had a bone handle (probably a Wraith femur or something). In later seasons, though, the sword disappeared and he only used his plasma pistol. I don't remember him losing it on a mission or...
In the 2009 live-action version of Watchmen, the intro shows - among other things - the original Nite Owl saving Thomas & Martha Wayne from the mugger on that fateful night. In the background, you can clearly see posters advertising what appears to be Batman No. 1, which was published in 1940. Th...
I remember sitting hours in front of Mos Eisley and I used to love chatting in it. And then, Shog9 nuked it. Fine. Not a big deal. People are still same. This is what I thought.
But, no. I don't enjoy our new chatroom "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe". I can't sit here even for 5 minut...
In Nature there is the phenomenon of a double rainbow:
While a single rainbow is a bridge to Asgard in Marvel's Thor, what is a double rainbow?
Dune is a little bit of an oddball in that it doesn't contain the textbook definition of intelligent aliens. That said, it seems odd that if there were non-intelligent aliens (Shai Hulud), there would be intelligent aliens, so I find myself asking, were the sandworms evolved from a terrestrial cr...
In APM and the Clone Wars series, among other media, there are frequent instances where Republic credits are not accepted. These are typically places outside of the Republic and especially in the criminal underworld, Republic or otherwise.
If Anakin wants to pay Hondo to deliver some missiles il...
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the Starkiller is demonstrated. However, just as quickly as Kylo Ren and company gives the order, 3-4 planets.
The Starkiller appears to defy the theory of relativity and the laws of physics. How is this possible? If we were to ever have a weapon of this magnitud...
So ive been trying to remember this book series for the last couple of months and have had no luck. I cant remember any character names or locations but ill list everything i know! I read it in high school so anywhere between 1990 to 2014 were the publication dates, but it probably wasnt released...
Given that we're a few Movie Nights in (to the point where I've stopped numbering them), I think it's time we nail some things down.
Do not talk to me about Fight Club: Seriously, I've heard it all.
Movie Night will always take place on a weekend: This is only something that came up for the las...
In Harry Potter, werewolves are people that turn into wolves at full moon, and go around biting people, turning them into werewolves. Examples include Remus Lupin and Fenrir Greyback, both of which are humans until the moon changes.
Tom Riddle claims that Hagrid kept werewolf cubs under his bed:...
Looking for the title of a novel where the Earth turns out to be a spaceship. I seem to recall the cover has maybe a gigantoid rocket motor firing off? Premise is that some sort of catastrophe occurs, and these rocket motors are activated, booting the Earth into space. Might've been published ...
I was asked to split these up, so I've made them into a series.
I know it has been off the air for several decades, but I recently started watching QL again and have a slew of questions:
What six (or is it seven?) doctorates does Sam hold? Are they ever listed in full? And shouldn't a suppo...
I have only a few vague memories of this animation, but would like help identifying it:
From 80's or earlier (watched when I was a child during late 80's or early 90's
A person (human?) in the animation is travelling with a companion - the companion may be an animal with more than 4 legs (sapie...
I read this book about 3 years ago about a thief.
Here's what I can remember about it:
He was in the middle of sneaking away after he stole something then a person called The Monk appeared to him and tried to convince him to come with him, but he snuck away while he wasn't looking. The Monk app...
I remember watching an animated movie (part of, because it was incomplete) on a videotape in the 90's. It was a full-length movie, not likely a series. Please help to identify.
The movie was French (with English subtitles)
The protagonist is a little boy lost on a jungle planet. His parents hav...

“Harry, I’d like you to meet Eldred Worple, an old student of
mine, author of Blood Brothers: My Life Amongst the Vampires —
and, of course, his friend Sanguini.”
"Sanguini, stay here!” a...
Clearly, Tom Riddle was already assembling his future-DEs clique back in Hogwarts (as we saw in Slughorn's pensieve memory).
However, Severus Snape wasn't in it yet (probably age difference?).
Do we know at which point Voldemort became interested in having Severus Snape join his cause?
Why doesn't exist a MMO game set in Harry Potter universe yet?
I think that a multiplayer game in Hogwarts is a good idea, with classes, different years, charms and other things in Harry Potter universe.
Do vampires exist in the Harry Potter universe? Characters mention them at a few places, but we never meet an actual vampire, and I'm starting to think they are only a legend even in that universe.
We've had lots of opportunities for vampires to turn up, even for just an insignificant role, d...
The Will of Stanley Brooke is a Cthulhu Mythos short story by Ramsey Campbell. In it:
The rest of this question contains spoilers for both that story and H.P. Lovecraft's The Festival which I won't hide, as it would render the whole question blank. You have been warned.
Late in the story Broo...
