Season 7 made it to Netflix, and I prefer the more gritty and modern atmosphere.
At the beginning of each episode, a tower is shown. It's not the tower that Rapunzel was trapped in. It is a modern tower, presumably in the Hyperion neighbourhood. What is that tower? Is it completely fictional...
I recall a book about some saber tooth tigers that were trapped in a cave in the U.S.A. and either were frozen or just kept living generation after generation until modern times, but I can't remember the name of the book or the author.
A little help please?
It was hosted on it's own page and was written much like a documentary about the rise and fall of the human race from the perspective of an alien narrator. There were plenty of illustrations to show the various creatures and 'sub-humans'.
Humans advanced and eventually colonized Mars (and other ...
Clearly not all of the Jedi had command over the Clone Troopers. What position did a Jedi have to attain within the Order to be able to command Clone Troopers?
Somewhere around 8-10 years ago (around 2008-2010), I downloaded a number of Japanese games and tried to get them working on my machine. One of them, which came to mind recently, I never got working, but it had a number of videos in the game folder that I could read in my video player. All of the...
For sites that have the new responsive theme enabled, where the "Ask Question" button is in line with the question title on question pages, the word word wrap on long titles is not working correctly. It will break a word across two lines. Here is an example from Personal Finance and Money:

I have discussed this before but it was a little broad and came with no proper conclusion. So I am bringing the major part of it back as a new question, so it's not really a dupe.
Generic character tags we have right now:

character-motivation
character-development

I saw this on Twitter and I was curious where it came from. It doesn't match any movie footage I know of. It may be from the Holiday Special.
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Barty Crouch Jr. killed Barty Crouch Senior and transfigured him into a bone and buried the bone. But a bone can be eaten by dog or other animals. Also Professor McGonagall once took a test in transfiguration in which she practised transforming a mouse ...
I asked John Varley about this directly, but he says he forgot.
in his 1986 short "the Unprocessed Word", he cites three other authors whose work in longhand and/or typewrite proves that you don't need a word processor. These are: SK in Maine, SR in Halifax, and DT in Oakland.
SK is Stephen Kin...
I've been seeing this image of Morpheus - the main character of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman - quite frequently:
Slight variation here and here
It appears in multiple articles about the [now bust] The Sandman film; everywhere, of course, without attribution.
I set out to find the author, but rev...
Let’s get rid of it
The vast majority of the questions listed are standard story-identification questions. Sure, the querents don’t know who wrote the story, but that’s because they don’t know the story. As long as we have this tag, it seems, people will continue putting in on such questions.

How can we hear Tyrion's pee when he is pissing off of the Wall?
It is way, way down and there is no way we could hear this. What is the explanation?
Has there been any official (from the studio or owners) reason why we haven't seen a new Star Trek show set years after Voyager?
So far every new Star Trek show or movie is around the original series or close to an already established show:

I read a story when I was about 14 in 1968ish possibly in the John Carnell series "New Writings in SF" in which, as I remember, there were a man and a woman, one of them strung out on speed and the other on barbiturate. The woman painted herself with luminous/fluorescent paint, I think.

The alien tells the story. Actually, perhaps the astronauts are the aliens, since I think it takes place on another planet. I think the narrator is injured, or somehow gets "taken in" ...
This poor creature is taken aboard the spaceship and the humans do not know that it is intelligent. The alien can repeat what it hears, e,g, "pass the sugar". It is able to escape at night and it communicates messages to its fellow aliens. It directs that they turn up the heat of the atmospher...
I remember very few details about this. As the title mentioned, it featured who I think is the protagonist being able to take command of a huge 'monster' or 'robot' (unsure of what type of thing it was that, if I recall correctly, was orange and transparent / see-through, seemingly made of energy...
In Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part 2,Why did Voldemort choose Narcissa to verify that Harry was dead? I read this scene in the book, but there was no explanation.
I was checking over the requirements for the "Yearling" badge after I earned it on the main science fiction site. It says "active member for a year with at least 200 reputation. If someone has only 190 reputation when their anniversary comes up and then they ahieve ten more reputation a year late...
At the end of The Giver, Jonas and Gabe head down through the snow to a place where there is music.
Downward, downward, faster and faster. Suddenly he was aware with certainty and joy that below, ahead, they were waiting for him; and they were waiting, too, for the baby. For the first time, ...
While reading the description of the film, I noticed one thing: they didn't write just Avengers, they wrote Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. I wonder if Guardians are part of Avengers.
I’m asking, because I edited the Turquoise Fairy’s Shrek Wiki page since she appears in a Shrek video game and I put her occupation down as a Fairy Godmother and I put Pinocchio down as her godchild.
However, someone got rid of that.
Wonder Woman makes an appearance in Batman v Superman.
During World War I, she is active.
She may or may not have been active in events between these two events, like World War II or Cold War.
But why was she not active in fighting General Zod ?
Why did she not help, while so much was happe...
Story about how an alien race kinda helps humans expand but then war breaks out with the central races and humans beat the biggest army by sending wave on waves of soldiers. The original race is surprised and confused that the humans keep sharing everything with then. Best I can remember but woul...
In the first Fantastic Beasts film, the entire city if New York is obliviated with a rain storm to wipe the memories of all Muggles who were witness to the events that nearly destroyed the city.

In the movie, many of the scenes on the Klingon bird of prey jump between Klingon and English in the same scene, with no non-klingon characters in the scene.
Is there any explanation either in canon or from the director/crew as to why this happens?
