A recent episode of Arrow ended with a flashback- Emiko is watching the news as it reports the yacht Queen's Gambit lost in a storm; shortly afterward she is seen burning some paper blueprints of the Queen's Gambit. Is it safe to assume she somehow sabotaged the yacht?
In S08E02 of Game of Thrones we see that Arya has two vertical scars on the side of her abdomen.
Was there an event portrayed in the series that shows how she got these scars?
On the Spanish Wiki page, we have this quote about the Daemon Lord Doombreed, attributed to Richter Kless:
Un antiguo Príncipe de Khorne llamado Doombreed empujará a los mejores y más puros de la Humanidad hasta el borde de la destrucción. Pocos caerán, en comparación con otras invasiones, pe...

Do Skeptics questions really need to be this thorough?
In Star Trek: Discovery, the only reason Burnham was going to have one way trip because time crystal was going to burn out after opening wormhole.
But, in the season 2 finale, we saw that
How was she able to do that?
I got thinking as to why muggle tools can't work with magic, In the books they just gave us a half-ass story of how there's "Too much Magic in the air", But what if that's not it at all, What if the real reason as to why muggle tools don't work with magic is because Magic is a form of PURE ENERGY...
The main assumption in recent episodes of Star Trek: Discovery is that
But, I see two flaws in the plan:
The Control will eventually get to the future by waiting out because it can't age and die. Why didn't they plan to send USS Discovery back in the past?
The Control can build an Angel Suit...
In which case the close reason shouldn't be telling the questioner to look for other Stack Exchange sites that deal with scientific questions – no Stack Exchange sites allow posts that aren't questions.
To me, it definitely looks like it might have been translated from English, because it aligns so well. That's part of why I think the wiki writer might not just have made it up.
I read The Hobbit in 1963 after reading a large format children's illustrated anthology which had a Tove Jansson Moomintroll story or chapter and the first chapter of The Hobbit along with other stories I don't remember.
Thus this anthology would have been published in 1963 or earlier.

We know that Bilbo was fond of maps and lettering "even though his own writing was rather thin and spidery", but did Bilbo make his own maps or illustrate his adventures in the red book or 'There and Back Again'?
The pitch for the Netflix adaptation looks promising for those disappointed in the film bombing, yet what they missed out is that it is not enough to reboot the franchise as we intended.
It doesn't look like this has happened this time, it could be impossible due to the fact that the series take...
I know when Peter Jackson said if Mortal Engines performs well enough to make a sequel, there will definitely be a videogame to follow, I believed a videogame based on that film or books would be an open world game.
It doesn't look like this has happened, but it would take the form of an action ...
I'm looking for the title of a book in which programming code or snippets of code have amassed on board spaceships. This process took a long long time.
The story uses these ancient code snippets to let the main character escape by 'hacking' the ship.
Read it a long time ago, but haven't been a...
Benjen was stabbed by a White Walker with an ice sword and left "to turn" but was saved with dragongalss by the Children of the Forest.

I saw a Terminator film or episode where on one day the machines turned on people. At the end two teenagers were locked in a blast room and Arnie did not make it.
Not to be unwelcoming but there are 4 Terminator movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm surprised you wouldn't find that information in good faith. — Jenayah1 min ago
A friend of mine saw a movie some time ago on the TV, but he can't recall the name. Here is the description he gives:
Japanese or Chinese movie, in the end, there was a Tesla coil (or some device for wireless transfer of electricity) in a skyscraper in Tokyo, which somebody wanted to use to d...
Rest assured, my question is entirely Endgame spoiler-free unless you hover over the hidden quotes. Probably best not to read on.
Background:
My inquiry:
At the end of season 7, Jon Snow refused to commit to staying in the north and not taking up arms against the Throne. Everyone in Daenerys' party thought that his integrity was too costly under the circumstances because it gave Cersei a reason to back out of an armistice.
Given the the discov...
Wow, Finnish is a tough language to understand when looking for a story-ID... I can't recognize a single word in any of the results on Google so I have to click on each of them then translate every single page
Like I can't tell if I've found a dictionary of neologisms or an article about a book written by immigrants (both come up when searching for "wealth" "alien" "book" in Finnish)
There was a mild mannered guy who didn't drink, smoke, or swear. His boss's new girlfriend drove him crazy so he visited her, smoke, drank, ranted, and then she told his boss who didn't believe her. The boss dumped her and the mild mannered guy was happy.
@Adamant Hmm. Depending on your source language it still seems to have problems with contractions. I'm getting "do not speak" a lot more than "don't speak." So I'm going to provisionally rule that out. :)
(This is basically a roundabout way of saying "your English is very good." But I understand that if it's not your first language you'd have trouble coming up with similar-sounding pairs of synonyms for common concepts.)
A long time ago, when I was a wee child I read some of the Drizzt Do'Urden books, they really captured my imagination. I'd like to continue reading, but I've lost track of which books contain him, and indeed what order they should be read in.
I'm specifically interested in the chronological ord...
It doesn't but chronological order is an acceptable answer to a SO question, it's just that CO is solely about chronological order whereas SO is broader
@Jenayah Actually is, ours actually covers the "what not to ask about" help page as well which isn't great
@Jenayah Yeah, but is it worth the effort fixing them? I doubt most people read them. In fact I'm pretty sure I only started using the help centre to quote it to others when linking rather than to actually learn from it haha
Oh it probably should be updated and I think it does need updating but for those that will actually read it might not be worth the effort is all I'm saying haha

In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter refused being an Avenger at the end of the movie, yet in Avengers: Infinity War, he acted excited when Iron Man told him he was now officially an Avenger.
Why would he be so excited to be an Avenger in Infinity War if he declined being an Avenger in Spider-Man: H...
In The Colour of Magic, on page 46 of my copy, Twoflower says this word:
“Reflected-sound-of-underground-spirits?”
It seems to be like “in-sewer-ants-policy”, i.e. a term that they don’t have a word for in the language (“insurance policy”), but I can’t figure out what it’d be.
I asked two ...
Out of my 632 favorites, probably 75% are "threads that contains stuff I want to fix" and the remaining 25% are "stuff I think I can answer some day given some time"
@Jenayah Blame it on mobile UI. Sometimes "responsive design" means "on mobile, hide everything that makes it a website" :-P Not that I'm grumpy about it or anything.
I read this book maybe five or six years ago and recently remembered the strange story in it and I can't remember the title or author to find it again. Here's what I remember of the story: this old guy is tasked with finding the fountain of youth and to do so must sail up the Nile to the Mountain...
Looping back to a discussion from a couple of days ago about the "Enlightened" badge; it took a few hours after I nominally qualified for it to be awarded. (In the meantime I got "Good Answer" and the +15 bonus, so things were obviously being tracked.)
Winter may be several years long, which is effectively a natural siege in itself. Why not simply wait a year or two for the people of Westeros south of the Wall to be starving and worn down, versus attacking relatively soon after winter begins?
