The Question The actual question is as follows: The scheduling system for elective classes at Hogwarts, as presented in the books (particularly Prisoner of Azkaban) does not seem to make sense. I am seeking an explanation as to how it can actually make sense. The rest of this post will consist o...

I'll be opening this to community wiki

In the Turkish Netflix series The Protector, the titular character and his predecessors have a magical shirt that grants invincibility. As we see from when Hakan first puts the shirt on, it merges with his body and appears in the form of a raised brand or perhaps a tattoo. As such, there would se...

In the series The Protector, Kemal, Zeynep, and Hakan quickly conclude that Mazhar is the Immortal. However, how did they reach this conclusion? Obviously, he's been involved in suspicious actions related to the Loyal Ones. But then,this only suggests that he's working for or with the Immortal, ...

It was my understanding that, in general, there was a community agreement not to edit too many older posts in a short period of time, to avoid cluttering the front page with too many older questions at once. However, particularly on Meta, but also on the main site, I've noticed an increased rate ...

The space stone in the Tesseract, reality stone in Aether, which is fluid-like, e.g. I assume the Avengers broke all the stones' containers when they assembled their gauntlet. Some people said Cap learns how to use the time stone to reverse time on the stones back to their previous state in thei...

What stone would he destroy last? Or could he use two stones at the same time and have them destroy one another?

i was in like 4th or 5th grade and i remember reading these books, they were like scary stories and each book had 2 or three plots. one was about this boy that stole an apple from his neighbors backyard and turned into a tree. another where this girls friends were throwing rocks at this old lady’...

I read a book back in the 90's most likely from a school library. The main character was some lost prince who travels to an ice planet for some reason. The cover had him on the ice planet with some alien rifle. I believe he may have looked like an elf with his facial features.

Bran told Theon he'd be going then warged into a few crows. What did he accomplish as the crow? It didn't look like he posed any threat to the Night's King. And if it was reconnaissance he didn't debrief with anyone about what he saw. What was the strategy there?

In Game of Thrones S08E04, we see the aftereffect of the Battle of Winterfell. The fallen heroes are laid to rest, then a big feast to celebrate life, then the battle plan to defeat Cersei & then they depart from Winterfell. Exactly how many days have elapsed since the battle till the time Da...

It's obvious that could have killed with the Are there any legitimate in-universe reasons why she didn't? Seems like the writers just don't care anymore to me.

I think he was sending a report home or communicating with another alien, and I'm pretty sure it was a short story. The leaves falling from trees etc convinced him the Earth was dying. Likely written before 2000.

and gorilla like aliens with one strong muscular arm and one weak arm??? Help?

In Game of Thrones S08E04 The Last of the Starks, Euron When Dany agrees to a parlay with Cersei, she demands Dany's surrender in exchange for Upon refusal, she decides to Missandei says Dracarys. Dany has uttered it many times & I am assuming it means "Breath Fire". But why ...

I found first two hours a bit boring, So I Just wanted to know How many people think the same

I read these books in the late 1980s, no earlier than 1987 and no later than 1988. The setting of the books is the modern world, but with a ghostly or hidden world intermingled with it - in a similar vein to the wizarding world in Harry Potter and London Below in Neil Gaimans Neverwhere, the hid...

The protagonist was working on an alien world where the natives lived only a matter of days, but despite the inevitable tragedy she allowed herself to enter into a relationship with one. Likely a short story written before 2000.

Gendry was born in the Crownlands and should therefore be referred to as Gendry Waters. However, he refers to himself as Gendry Rivers. Did showrunners forget or is Gendry retarded?

In Game of Thrones S08E04 The Last of the Starks, Gendry is When Gendry finds Arya, he tells him that his earlier name was Gendry Rivers. As far as I know, Gendry was born in Kings Landing. Bastards of Kings Landing are named Waters. Bastards of Riverrun are named Rivers & Bastard...

When Cersei leaned in for the talk Missandei could have easily thrown her off the platform to her death. Instead she decided to be dramatic and feed into Daenerys's worst impulses. There were no restraints on her arm or legs. She was not even kneeling. It was the easiest thing to do but she did...

Does anyone know what happened to the horn? Since if I remember correctly it was shown in the tv show, found by Sam and I think he took it with him when he left south, or Idk if it was just in the books that he took the horn south, especially since from my understanding it should have been import...

Why did Starchy kill a grass lard to remove princess bubblegums tracker? Then leave it to suffer for thousands of years

Am I going insane or did someone really leave a coffee cup in a scene?

When Kemal tells the story about the origins of the Protector, he implies that there have been seven immortals since the time that the Protector was made, hundreds of years previously. One of the other Immortals even says that "an ordinary mortal" has never joined them before. But why not? We c...

In the long night episode the night king is killed, does this mean all 3 twists has been revealed?

The latest episode of Game of Thrones Season 8, episode 4 has been named "The Last of the Starks". Why was it named so? I couldn't fathom the reason behind this intriguing episode title.

I think it's safe to assume (although probably well known to everyone except me) that the DS2 construction was started long before the DS1 was blown up. As it took nearly 20 years for the DS1 to be completed, when did the construction of DS2 begin?

In the final battle of Avengers: Endgame, Tony Stark manages to steal the Infinity Stones from Thanos’s gauntlet and insert them in his own glove. We don’t see how he pries them loose from Thanos’s gauntlet, but it was done so smoothly that Thanos himself does not see or feel it happening. We th...

Interstellar explorers have discovered what looks like a very suitable planet for human colonization. The climate is good, there are no pathogens, and a beautiful forest grows abundantly. A charming aspect of the flora is that leaves can detach themselves and fly off like flocks of multicolored b...

I watched a cartoon show last year and i can not remember it, it has been bugging me. It's about a teenage girl and her friends, i think part of a team. I remember something about team A or team B, daily combating magic and fantasy/magical creatures. If i remember correctly she is studying magic...

In S8E4 of Game of Thrones, Doesn't that indirectly mean that outside of having the best claim for Storm's End, he also has right now the best claim for the Iron Throne since he is now the legitimate heir of Robert who was the last king, and could create a lot more problems than solve, so in t...

In episode 8.04 (The Last of the Starks) of Games of Thrones, the story continues to march along with the characters continuing to prepare for the future by playing 'The Game of Thrones', But Bran mentions to Tyrion that he But if this was really the case, then why is Bran Besides ...

In S08E04 we see a face-off between Cersei and Dany. She could have could Dany during the first meet before the great war also but possibly didn't because she was terrified of dragons. But now as we know she has a weapon to kill the dragons also she has the backing of people of the kings landing...

I read this book years ago, and it was about a girl who is taken through a portal I think, she is holding onto her dad's hand but she lets go for a second and gets taken away, and I think she can shapeshift into anything. She is being trained for something but I can't remember, and at one point s...

It seems as if technological advancements in the GOT is unduly slow if it occurs at all. Humans appear to have the same level of weapon and transportation technology etc. in the current timeline (Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryean as King of the North) as they did prior to the original Long Night which o...

In Game of Thrones S08E04 Gendry was named the Lord of Storm's End. Where is this place? In Westeros? In the northen part or the southern part? Does this place have any history behind it? I don't think I have seen this place on the opening credits or in the show.

How does the timestamp of future Nebula in Avengers: Endgame can come into past Nebula? How is this possible? Why does past Nebula get visions of it? It makes completely no sense to me. How are the two Nebula's connected?

In Endgame, Captain America gets Hank Pym out of his lab by pretending to be a delivery man. He mentions that the package is glowing, prompting Hank to ask if anybody had opened it, and then to rush off when he finds out that someone supposedly had opened it. Was there any specific reference, or...

In Avengers Infinity War, Thanos snaps his fingers and causes the Snapocalypse. Next scene is Thanos and a young Gamora within an odd place, devoid of many features beyond an asian style gazebo or similar. What is the significance of this scene? Much speculation before Endgame was that this ...

Endgame spoiler Dr Strange seeing the one winning scenario, meant he kept looking into the future for 5 years after the snap where nothing was happening, until a rat presses the button to get Ant-Man out. Where is the logic in that? The chances of that is way smaller than 1 in 14m. Also, doing t...
