So I'm nearing the end of the fourth season of Doctor Who on Amazon Prime. And I see there's also a David Tennant Special. And then there are also the Christmas Specials. So, other than watching the regular seasons in order, is there an order to the specials? Like S01, S02,S03, S04, David Tennant...

I'm watching DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and I'm really confused about how the Time Masters perceive time from the perspective of the Vanishing Point. I've finished the first season, so I know that the place exists "outside of time". Given that, why was Rip surprised about Vandal Savage's takeover?...

With the recent introduction of the Lifejacket and Lifeboat badges—and the disappearance of Tumbleweed—it occurred to me today that I ought to post a meta bounty on my own Tumbleweed question. However, when I pulled it up, I found that it had been deleted sub silentio by Community. I would stil...

Wererats are fairly iconic monsters for Dungeons & Dragons, but they are different in a number of ways from the other "lycanthropes" listed in the game rules. It occurred to me recently that when they were introduced by the original Dungeon Masters, Gary Gygax and Rob Kuntz, they might have been...

‘I too once passed the Dimril Gate.’ said Aragorn quietly; ‘but though I also came out again, the memory is very evil. I do not wish to enter Moria a second time.’ (The Lord of the Rings, A Journey in the Dark) Is there any other reference and/or literature to support this story or even te...

In Firefly Episode 9, Ariel, River and Simon take a drug that puts them in a proto-comatose state. Around 17:30, River wakes up, says something, and startles Jayne. Jayne responds "What did you say?" but never gets an answer. What did she say? The subtitles I have just say "[Mutters]". But I ...

Is Jon Snow the only one left who

Other than the obvious first-degree family member, it is also said that the Prime Minister of Britain knows about the wizarding world. Who else can be revealed to magic? Who's the one to decide (some specific entity in the ministry)? Like if a wizard or a witch will date a muggle, how soon is i...

Or are there none other than the name? I do know that

I watched it before 2 years back. It is an English movie. The movie is about a women who got a relic as a gift (if I remember correctly).

At the very end of Philosopher’s Stone we find the following passage: ”Thanks," said Harry, "I'll need something to look forward to." People jostled them as they moved forward toward the gateway back to the Muggle world. Some of them called: ”Bye, Harry!" ”See you, Potter!" ”St...

In Sunshine (2007) movie the spaceships were named Icarus I and Icarus II , but Icarus was the first person who tried to go to Sun and died in the process. Why name a spaceship in such a way which is ill fated .

See this question: Does Iron Man's repulsor technology violate Newton's Third Law of Motion (in-universe)? It has been closed on the grounds that it's asking for real world "scientific solutions or explanations". This is simply not true. I'm asking about how the technology (supposedly) work...

I've read Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn and Stormlight Archive series, and I noticed that there are hardly any (if any) references to sexual activity between characters. I find that the author paints otherwise very gritty, full, and realistic pictures of characters' behavior and psychology—coverin...

I'm trying to remember a title of a paperback book I read over 30 years ago. It was set in a scifi dystopian future where the whole of the earth's society was constantly being moved around the earth. The more of a danger that someone presented to The State the less time they were allowed to stay...

Prologue Fire burned in Yas’s veins as the treatment solution flowed into his arm. His breath caught, and his entire body clenched in pain. Had he been a true cryonics revival patient, he would have still been dead, and he wouldn’t have had to live through this. He supposed feeling envio...

I read this book in middle school it was somewhere in the time span of 1970's to early 2000's.

I hate to question Yoda's integrity, but... Yoda said to Luke: "No! Try not! Do or do not, there is no try.", but as Obi-Wan said to Anakin: "Only a Sith deals in absolutes". So, was Yoda a Sith? Questions that correlate to this: Are there any known Sith from Yoda's species? When & how did Y...
