I'm looking for a Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic strip/cartoon about aliens where the aliens say the world is a reality TV show where they adjust human hormones to see the effect it has on their relationship.
Anyone know which one it is?
Sorcerer's Stone:
About twenty ghosts had just
streamed through the back wall. Pearly-white and slightly transparent,
they glided across the room talking to one another and hardly glancing
at the first years. They seemed to be arguing. What looked like a fat
little monk was saying: "F...
What is the name of the mecha anime where the hero uses one mobile suit but when the battle gets tough he calls for another suit that comes from somewhere and takes him in?
I saw it on Cartoon network, not adult swim, maybe in the 90’s. I recently remembered some scenes and it has been bothering...
It's generally well-known that the movie rights to various Marvel characters has been a mess due to the rights having been sold off when Marvel was in financial trouble. Up until Disney started reunifying ownership of the rights, we had:

Say I want to watch a television show or a movie. Their genre is definitely suitable for this site.
Now I read some reviews and comments which seem pretty weird to me.
Is it OK to ask about this as a question in SF&F? When the question level/idea is higher than actually what happens in the seri...

General Products hulls are almost indestructible, the only known weakness being antimatter or attacking the powerplant that re-enforces them. This is supposedly because the hull is a single giant molecule.
How exactly does being a single molecule make the hull invulnerable? Why can it not be def...
In Interstellar, Cooper mentions that they don't have any MRI machines while talking to his kid's teacher. The dialogue goes as follows:
One of those useless machines they used to make was called an MRI. If we had any of them left the doctors might have been able to find the cyst in my wife's...
I am trying to remember a film I saw as a child where at the very end (I think), a boy who I think is the main character is turned into a princess (or maybe a queen). It turned out that he was always a princess and was transformed for some... purpose. I think it might have had to do with protecti...
I would be quite surprised it no one else asked this question before, but I can't find any reference to it.
In Avengers Endgame, Nebula is caught by Thanos and her past-self on Morag, while retrieving the power stone. Past-Nebule finally gets the Pym particles the future-one intended to use to g...
I remember only this scene from what I believe was a horror themed TV show from the '70s.
I was born in 1970, so I think I watched it between 1973 and 1977? It was in color and it was seen on U.S. television and appeared to be shot on videotape, which is why I say it was a TV show or TV movie. It...
A group of science fiction writers are sitting around taking turn discussing their profession, where they get their inspiration from, various things that have happened to them during their careers.
After a series of reasonably normal anecdotes, one of them tells the others that he woke up one mo...
I am trying to remember the title of a sci-fi film I watched a few years back taking place in a future society where people lived underground in a tightly monitored, population controlled city. The main character was an officer of some kind tasked with capturing people who attempt to flee when th...
In Known Space stasis fields are often used to protect the occupants of ships from harm. The hull may be an indestructible General Products model, but the occupants can still be subjected to extreme forces and attacks by lasers.
For example, in Ringworld, the ship is hit by an anti-asteroid weap...
A book for young people (would be classed as YA today, I think) about a lost tribe of Ghengis Khan's Mongols in the Himalayas.
A young American agent (CIA maybe?) is sent to contact the tribe because they are vital in some way (that I don't remember) in the Cold War. There is a Communist agent (...
It is well known that the original plan for Luke's lightsaber in Return of the Jedi was for it to blue, like the blades used by Luke and Ben in the first two movies. However, this changed in post-production to a green blade, which resolved a couple of different issues. It made it quite clear, f...
Variety reports that Rutger Hauer, actor in Sin City, Batman Begins, True Blood, and other sci-fi and horror films, has died at 75.
He will perhaps be best remembered for his role in Blade Runner as Roy Batty, a Replicant hunted by Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford). During his final moments, he gives...
In late elementary-early middle school I read this series I got from the scholastic reader pamphlet. I can't remember what it was titled to save my life. It may have had "chronicles" in the title. It read kind of like a generic Harry Potter. It had a magical school that was a castle, but I think ...
