See this video: In it, at 1:52, there is a clip of a movie with a dragon and a Godzilla-like (maybe Godzilla itself) creature. I have a crazy idea that it might be CGI. I know it’s a movie because of the aspect ratio. What is it? The dragon: The thing that’s...

In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Kirk and crew travel back in time to 1986 to bring some humpback whales to the 23rd Century. Scotty is tasked with building a tank for them, and uses a computer to create a design for a material. After unsuccessfully talking to the computer, he says "a keyboard, ...

During Act 2 of Diablo 2, we learn of Tal Rasha and his fate. It's a major plot point that Tal Rasha's tomb is well hidden and can only be opnened with a Horadric Staff. Once we arrive at the tomb, we see no signs of intrusion - we seem to be the first ones who blast a big hole in the tomb. Yet...

In Battlestar Galactica (2004) it is eventually revealed that the are, in fact, characters in the fleet. However, it seems like an amazing stroke of luck that all five of these characters were spared when the colonies were attacked, especially considering they didn't even know they were cylo...

I just spent the last 5 hours browsing through google, pinterest, and eBay in an attempt to find a beautifully illustrated book I loved as a child. I remember what it is generally about, but I have not the slightest recollection of any names (title, author, illustrator, publisher, characters). I ...

This was a sci-fi novel I read decades ago. Most of the story takes place after a mother and her son have been captured by another tribe and are being transported back to their encampment. I believe one or both die in the end. I believe there are anachronistic things in the world that lead me to...

I watched an animated sci-fi movie during the early 90s, I have flashes in my mind but could not identify it for years and years. Searching around by myself, I found some stuff with a bit similar style but not quite the same: Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage 1973) Time Masters (Le Maitres ...

In Avengers: Endgame, when Tony Stark snaps his fingers, why do only Thanos and his team a.k.a. The Black Order get disappear? I mean how the Infinity Stones know that when Tony snaps, then only Black Order will disappear, not any Avengers?

During Dark Phoenix, the public opinion on mutants (or at least X-Men) shifts back from hard-earned respect to fear and mistrust, after Jean Grey is unable to control what is happening to her and assaults police officers and her fellow X-Men. Obviously people are clueless about what was actually ...

In Avengers: Infinity War, Eitri says to Thor: Three hundred dwarves lived on this ring. I thought if I did what he asked, they'd be safe. I made what he wanted: a device capable of harnessing the power of the stones. And he killed everyone anyway. All except me. From the "on this ring" par...

I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me find the title of a book that I read around 14 years ago. All I can remember about the story is that it was about a boy named Milo, who ends up losing his eye brows and running away from home - the overall plot, from memory, was that he somehow...

I'm looking for a short story about the discovery of God by scientists that makes the newspaper headlines. The story ends a with headline like: God dead; is not able to alter anything. 80s perhaps?

In Neuromancer, Gibson uses the terms Hosaka, Ono-Sendai, and "deck" interchangeably. The Ono-Sendai is a "matrix simulator" and the Hosaka is a computer. The "deck" is slang for one of the items, but which one? Does one use both machines to access the matrix or are they independent of each other?

A young girl plays Scrabble with her family and has to use words related to books she's reading (i.e.: for Jungle Book she could use Mowgli, tiger, India, etc). She's also part of a secret club and it turns out the entity running this club was a "tax collector" from another plane or planet where ...

In the DS9 episode Profit and Loss, Toran confronts Garak and persuades him to kill Natima and the others she came with, Garak seems to agree because he could be rewarded for doing so by Central Command. TORAN: Then I don't suppose you'd be interested in going home again? GARAK: Am I to ...

I have the 2017 Del Rey Books mass market edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Here is the front cover: It features a circular green alien with two arms sticking its tongue out. Looking at other covers, the first American edition also has this character: Who is this supposed to ...

I saw a movie a few years back, I don't remember what it was called, about a man who was put into a computer (I think because of some disease or something) before he died. He was the first person ever to have this happen. After becoming a computer he became super smart (or maybe he already was?) ...

So I've been watching Dr. Stone which just started airing and I was wondering, In the anime the characters are rendered unable to move by an event that transform every life form to stone. They are still conscious in the stone but are severely sensory depraved. Theoretically waiting for 3700 years...

I remember reading a short story at some time in the 1990s which featured a regenerating organism which was used for meat. Workers would carve the meat off of it. They may have sent the meat through a pneumatic tube style system. I recall that one of the characters was in charge of the organis...

Now, I could easily be missing a detail here, but my understanding is that the following steps occurred (obvious spoilers): Peter gets EDITH and "registers" himself using the glasses. Peter 'befriends' Beck and determines he's better suited to use EDITH. Peter transfers full control of EDITH to...

We meet Borgin, but Burkes is only even mentioned once, where is he all the time, what happened to him? He is never stated to be dead, maybe You-Know-Who killed him as a loose end, but that would probably come up. What happened to him?

I'm looking for a fantasy story about a Knight of the Round Table with Impostor Syndrome (they don't call it that). He's scared of being found-out, so he volunteers to do every quest, fight every monster, etc. IIRC, the story ends with Arthur explaining that they're all scared and that the volunt...

It was Rhaegar Targaryen's 'kidnapping' of Lyanna Stark and then King Aerys II's murder of her brother Brandon and father Rickard (who went to see Aerys, asking for the justice) that caused Robert's rebellion and eventually, the end of the Targaryen dyansty. All of these could have avoided if Rh...

In the comics, Thanos has powers like energy manipulation,telepathy,flight and magic. In the MCU he is never seen using or having powers without the stones. Does he have his powers but not use them ( preferring to use the stones ) but if so, why not use them in endgame?

I've been scouring the internet trying to find a science fiction piece I remember reading when I was in elementary school. It was very short and about how humans will evolve into machines leaving our flesh/physical bodies behind. Then, the machines would eventually wear/rust and the intelligence...
