Can Sauron be considered a god? If not, why? I do not know how to answer this friend's question. Any help?

In The Next Generation episode "Sins of the Father", Duras says to Worf, "Yet you come here in a child's uniform and you bring outsiders to our great halls." What was Worf wearing that Duras called a child's uniform? Something he wore as a child at Khitomer? According to Memory Alpha, Wo...

Deltora Quest and its sequels and the Rowan of Rin series are both works by Emily Rodda (a.k.a Jennifer Rowe). Although it had been established previously that Deltora and the continent that Rin was on were in the same world, the Star of Deltora series situates them as within sailing distance of...

My dad read a book series that he recommended to me last year. Now that I am ready to start it, neither of us can recall the title. He said there were several in the series but he can't recall how many. The book is about traveling to a new planet, presumably with the goal of colonizing it. The c...

In The Book of the New Sun, there are many variations of humans and other life forms. There are regular humans, ape-men and Zoanthrops, and probably some other variations. However while the Autochthons are vaguely described as tribal and primitive, they are not necessarily described as human or...

I scarcely remember this animated series. The gist of it is in the title: Earth vanishes (I can't remember the reason now but it was probably explained) and the only surviving humans were two astronauts on an interstellar spaceship. They decide to explore space and meet up with different aliens,...

I read the book in the 90s. I don't have a clear recollection of how old it may have been at the time, but I think it was relatively new. I think that there were a young man and a young woman in the story. The young man was the protagonist. I believe he first encountered the other dimensions thro...

Been looking for this forever, it was part of an anthology I think and used such generic names that it seems impossible for me to find without knowing the book name. It's about a shape shifting machine wandering the surface of a planet sized space ship. At the end it’s accidentally killed by peo...

In the series A Song of Ice and Fire, we know the phrases 'valar morghulis' and 'valar dohaeris' mean 'all men must die' and 'all men must serve', respectively. It immediately follows that 'valar' means 'all men' and seems to be a nod towards Tolkien's Valar and looks/sounds similar to the Old No...

If someone was to take Tonks's hair, as she is a Metamorphmagus, does that mean that they can change their appearance just like her, as the Polyjuice Potion copies all of the attributes of the person you are transforming into, or would they only be able to turn into Tonks?

I am searching for a book that I first read back in elementary school, in the 1970s. The book was illustrated, and around 100 pages. It concerned astronauts in a war with these aliens that were skeletons, or Bone Men if I remember correctly. The bone men had uniforms, but didn't need air to liv...

I read a short story in an anthology about pilots of a craft that regularly crosses through the Earth to the other side (commercial travel), the engine of the ship was called Rausch or Rorsch or something like that. In the story the birth of a child on board the craft breaks the engine and the p...

In the ending of the movie Reign of the Supermen 2019 we see Clark Kent and Lois Lane together in a coffee shop and at the same time (the scene on YouTube). We can also see the live TV stream with Clark Kent and Superman. I am wondering, who is the person dressed as Clark Kent in a coffee shop...

Gollum was once a normal hobbit like Frodo and Bilbo- yet after acquiring the Ring he became completely different. Why didn't this happen to Bilbo or Frodo? Yes, they were changed in some way, but it was not such a huge difference as in Gollum. His physical and mental state were drastically chang...

Unusual story of two robot like creatures named Rok and Mog who lived on a dark, metallic planet, lots of clinks, clanks, and spires. Had a sort of Arthurian plot where one of them scales a spire to save a female type robot/machine? I pictured them as metal spider creatures. There was also a hu...

I'm looking for an old image seen in the 80s. It looks like it could have been drawn by Boris Vallejo or Julie Bell, but as far as I know they are not the authors. Since they've drawn countless heroic fantasy pics and covers, etc you can imagine the style. It did depict a kid (a girl I think) i...
