I've watched the episode ending several times and have not been able to figure out how this scene could maintain continuity. In the scene Rei answers "I told her it was because they gave me life," when Kovacs asks her why she However, moments later Kovacs says, "The only reason you wouldn't...

I remember reading it about a decade ago in school, I seem to recall the giant robot maybe being angry that he couldn't make 2 numbers add up to each other.

I'm looking for a short story I've read long ago, and my memory is fuzzy. It's an odd* story in first person, about researchers testing the local alien intelligence; said aliens appear peaceful, shy, live in a green (foresty?) planet (IIRC solar but not Mars), and love eating some herb or gre...

Looking for an elusive horror anthology published sometime before 1990. Included a story I believe to be titled “ Three in a Bed” about a woman who finds something other than her husband lying next to her. Cover has a purple border and I believe a creepy chair on the front.

Characters and they found each other along the way they found the golden monkey last and there was a forest girl. And the villain I think was like a samurai guy. And this show used to come on tv. If you know what this is called please tell me

I read this story some time around 2000. It wasn't brand new when I read it, but I think it was close. It was in a collection of sci fi short stories, and it was by a relative unknown; the central conceit of the book was that it was vaguely educational in that you could learn a bit about the craf...

The first six Star Wars movies were financed, distributed, and marketed by the studio 20th Century Fox. In return, Fox earned the net profits of the films. After the production company Lucasfilm was sold to Disney in 2012, future films are now financed, distributed, and marketed by Disney. The...

This is a question on Gone World. At one point, Shannon gets back in time without the formal channel (i.e. getting on her ship and heading back over a period of 3 months). She actually uses the time-space anomaly created by the Libra to get back to her time. Once she gets back, she is found by h...

I owned this book but it got lost in one of several moves. Dying to find title or author so i can buy it again. Book is likely from 60's or 70's. Paperback science fiction. Here is plot. (Spoilers) Set in 2000's but they still use type-writers. Journalist is embedded with diplomat on verge of wo...

This was a book I read in uk early nineties (question inspired by this one:- Apocalyptic fantasy novel set in San Francisco) On a future planet, or maybe an engineered hollow world, is a community of artists, sculptors and suchlike. The iron fist authority from elsewhere takes over so the arty ...

And the person has no ambition except to survive -- he does not plan on using his knowledge of the future to become rich, does not intend to tell people of the past of the future, just wants to fit in? (I think this is different than The Man Who Came Early where he does try to change things, some...

I've noticed many similarities for example: the lion symbol on the suits of armor looks exactly the same as Harry Potters Gryffindor lion there are 7 books in the Narnia and Harry Potter septuplegies the main characters are part Muggle or full Muggles I'm sure there is more I haven't listed, ...

I was re-reading the books and came across these passages: Once, Aunt Petunia, tired of Harry coming back from the barber’s looking as though he hadn’t been at all, had taken a pair of kitchen scissors and cut his hair so short he was almost bald except for his fringe, which she left ‘to hide...

I read this around 15 years ago in English as a Second Language class in a summer class I was attending in Poughkeepsie. We were reading short stories from a book (a collection of short stories by different authors) and I unfortunately can recall only this particular one as it had struck me with...

Excluding Julian Bashir and the products of the human Eugenic Wars... do we ever encounter any species in Star Trek that have engaged in significant genetic self-modification or eugenics? Basically are any other member species of the federation ever shown or said to have engaged in self genetic...

Hands down one of my favorite episodes, if not THE favorite of all time, I am trying to figure out what the name of the planet 'House' was from. I name all of my devices after Whovian planetary guidance, but for the life of me, cannot find any reference to a planet here. Any thoughts? Or was ther...

I read it several years ago then lost it. Had a purple cover and was pretty old (I think published in the 60s or 70s but not sure). It was about a girl who went to stay in a remote cabin for a summer with her dad, who was a researcher on the subject of psychic abilities. She wasn't happy about i...

I remember a very short portion of this show where there was a young man (possibly a prince?) and there were two young women (possibly one of which was a princess or some other kind of noble, and the other was lower born). The guy's mother pretended to be sick so that the son promised her he woul...

Hogwarts is a school full of hormone-infused teenagers who spend a decent amount of time "snogging". It stands to reason that there is plenty of...extra-snoggular...activity going on. How is unwanted pregnancy handled/prevented at Hogwarts? Are there any examples of pregnancies occuring at Hogwa...

Albert Finney (1936–2019) Although not especially known for his science fiction or fantasy work, Finney did play a cryogenically frozen head (of his character from the earlier fantastical serial Karaoke) in the 1996 British television serial Cold Lazarus. He was, in any event, an excellent ...

I read this book when I was a boy but it wasn't a children's book. The opening chapters deal with the discovery of an Earth-like planet. A team of explorers is sent to investigate and they discover a race of humanoid aliens. My biggest takeaway from this novel was the aliens elongated arms. I a...

So me and my friend are arguing that there's a good side and a bad side. he says that everyone is bad. They're both sides protecting their own business. Jedis being neutral should not even chose a side. So, What are you thoughts about this? Is there a good and a bad side?

I'm wondering if there's any Star Trek episode which could have been set in any pretty much any other (non-futuristic) setting without modification, even if the appearance of the technology is incidental. For the purpose of this question I'm going to assume that the following are roughly achiev...

In the recently launched episode S02E04 of Star Trek: Discovery, we learned that Have we seen such Starfleet officers in Star Trek before?

This was a short story that I would have read in a big collection during the mid-to-late 1980s. I'm pretty sure that the main plot involves two people (a man and a woman?) who find themselves unexpectedly in the far future. I think they were placed (by themselves or someone else) in suspended an...

This is a long shot, but my cousin had a VHS movie that we used to watch over and over when we were young...during the 2000's. I think her mom had gotten it as a gift or probably as a donation. It was about two Indian girls (a nice one and a bad one)... and one day the wind, (which was portrayed ...

In the Marvel movies Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D. are opposed by the evil society HYDRA. Whenever a HYDRA agent is defeated or captured, they (almost) without fail chomp a suicide pill and utter the words 'Hail HYDRA!' Why are HYDRA agents, both in WW2 and the present day, so uniquely commit...

I'm looking for a book trilogy I started reading over 15 years ago where the main character was a ~15yr old boy that hadn't found his magic yet (magic was prevalent throughout the world), but he was getting by with mimicing the effects of magic via technology which was a banned school of magic (I...
