I saw a movie many years ago (25+) and haven't found it again since. US made movie. It starts with a woman walking through a parking lot and she's being harassed by some guy and a stranger steps in and rescues her. The stranger protects her throughout the movie from whoever is after her and it d...

In the series Izombie, zombified people who don't get a regular diet of grey matter eventually become mindless, savage creatures lovingly referred to as Romeros- was it ever established how long it takes for this transformation to occur?

In Guardians of the Galaxy I and II, we run into several humans who seem to have been in space for quite a while, i.e. prior to the events of the Infinity Saga (i.e. before 1995). We know how Peter Quill ended up in space. But there is also Stakar Ogord and Aleta Ogord, who as far as I can tell...

The 2 researchers (1 male and 1 female) are just a side story to the main novel... (Their "story" is told in various interludes between chapters or sections of the book) I have no recall what the main story was about other than Time Travel. The researchers are assigned on overlapping alternating...

I was originally going to title this "Is Elric the last incarnation of the Eternal Champion?" but decided to ask something more limited and maybe build towards that. Some incarnations of the Eternal Champion, such as John Daker aka Erekosë, are able to remember other incarnations. This suggests ...

In the Space SE question Why were blood and hair follicles from 25 people put on the Moon? I wrote It sounds more like a potential plot for a future CSI Spaceforce episode. That got me thinking, so I'd like to ask when was DNA evidence from a crime investigation in space first used in a Sc...

I don't really remember much of this fic other than how much I enjoyed it at the time, and now I can't seem to find it again.

I remember years ago on Wookieepedia, I read an short article about an astronomical body that was the furthest point in the galaxy until you got into the Intergalactic Void of space between galaxies. I’m tempted to say it was a nebula but I’m not sure. I think it was mentioned in the SWTOR game, ...

so I read this book a few years ago which was part of a series, but I only found the first book and now I've forgotten the name. The first book featured 3 children/teens from different places that end up on a quest to search for magic gems/stones together and the story takes place in a medievel ...

It is clear that if Harry wouldn't have seen that story from the past through Tom Riddle's diary, he wouldn't have moved ahead in cracking the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets. And he could got all that info only by interacting with Tom Riddle through a written conversation via that diary. But w...

What is the in-universe reason for why so many extra terrestrials speak English in the MCU? Is there something like Star Trek's universal translator involved?

Sort of Related to this question Why doesn't the Spectre beat everything? Does the Spectre have powers to create things like change his surroundings around him like for example change a volcano into a swamp removing the whole mountain with his mind, making Kryptonite shine out of his cloak to de...

Rewatching Thor I realized that Heimdall seemed to be standing all day in or in front of the Bifrost, awaiting for someone to come by to let them in or not. I suspect that Bifrost travels are not that common (at least the movie does not suggest that), making Heimdall's job a particularly boring ...

I saw a movie on Amazon Prime (I think) about some alien spacecraft that appear all over the Earth just hovering in the sky for several months. I believe the movie is Canadian. Most of the characters work for a NASA-like space organization, and they spend most of the movie trying to figure out wh...

Check out this very short scene from 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix The Room of Requirements is a magical room, described as a place where it is only possible to enter if you are in a great need for it. There are many questions in this forum about it...

In Avengers: Endgame, after recovering the 6 Stones, Hulk snaps his fingers and brings back all the lost characters but he can’t bring back Black Widow or Gamora as the sacrifices for the Soul Stone are final. However, he explicitly states he tried. Since those characters had not died because of...

When Captain America, Natasha Romanoff, and Scott Lang visited to Tony’s cabin to persuade him at the early part of the movie Endgame, Tony served them something that looks like coffee. Was that a coffee of something like healthy grain juice?

Alright, so I'm thinking about an episode of Johnny Test. The plot of the episode was fuzzy, but it had something to do with repressing Johnny's genes in order to revert him back to having certain traits of his ancestors. I know it was a later season episode, but I can't identify any additional p...

At the moment, I'm reading The Hobbit, and I just watched the first movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. It was fun to note where the movie was following word by word the book, and when it gave itself more freedom. However, there's one point that baffles me a bit: the encounter with Radagas...

I don’t remember a book I read a long time ago, that talks about a world in the future where people had to leave Earth and they find another planet where they also find a powder that permits them to live longer. The downside is that people born on that planet are only able to live until 16 and h...

As best I can tell, in this dramatic scene from The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf falls for 71 seconds, mostly in free-fall while fighting a Balrog. True, the Balrog hits the walls of the abyss a couple of times, which slows their descent. But leaving that out of the account, according to the F...
