This may sound like a bizarre question, but when I was rewatching the classic 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, I noticed something about this scene. Nigel Tufnel: He just was like, a flash of green light, and that was it. This struck me as sounding si...

In book six, the horcrux is surrounded by a lake filled with inferni. Did Voldemort have to use people he killed, or did Voldemort simply just go to a graveyard to procure his army of inferni? We also read in book seven Dumbledore says that for Grindelwald the resurrection stone meant an army of ...

According to internet news reports the VR game, Doctor Who: The Edge Of Time, even voiced by Jodie Whitaker herself is canon to the TV series. So where does The Edge Of Time fit into the Doctor Who TV canon? As in what particular episode is it supposed to be set after or before?

I understand (though with a little problems) that taking Captain Archer out his original timeline But how this fact could cause that or, actually, how it was possible at all? These devices were used on regular, day-to-day basis even in 22nd century (they're in fact used today and were used...

In a short sentence in the beginning of "Shockwave. Part II" episode (this could be in the end of Part I, I don't remember quite correctly right now, but that doesn't matter at all) agent Daniels says two things: These two information seems to be contradicting each other. Who gave order and wh...

Though I've never seen him mentioned, Father Christmas, aka Kris Kringle, aka St. Nick, aka Santa Claus, conceivably could be as real as any other magical being.

It's common in fantasy stories for dragons to be formerly common but rare or extinct by the time of the story, for example, in Discworld, Game of Thrones, and perhaps The Hobbit (I can't recall enough about Smaug to be sure). Where did this idea come from? Is it known in any old mythology?

I honestly don't remember when I last read this, but I'm pretty sure it was over seven years ago and I think I first read it over ten years ago. The author had a number of "Ranma in a different setting" fics, I remember, including one where Ranma was in a post-apocalyptic landscape where he wield...

I remember some parts of a live-action sci-fi movie I saw sometime in the 90's or maybe early 00's. The movie was set in present day and centered around a small girl, about 5 years old, I think. The girl had psychic powers and there was an alien sneaking in her room at night to teach her to use h...

I was recently rewatching Star Wars: The Last Jedi. In one scene, Rey mentions to BB-8 that she still can't get through to the resistance. At this point in the film Vice Admiral Holdo has also taken over General Leia's resistance role, for which Poe Dameron is scheming behind her back, believin...

In Star Wars: The Last Jedi there is one scene between Rey & Kylo Ren when they are force-linked, where Rey calls Ren a "murderous snake" and a "monster". Although Kylo begins to point out what he perceives as Rey's ignorance of past events, he does not deny what she stated and replies, "I am a ...

Are there any Star Trek novels that depict the Federation primarily or entirely outside of Starfleet? There’s been a lot of fan speculation over the years on what civilian life in the Federation would be like, and I’d like to see whether any writers have actually tackled the subject.

Vision is a super advanced AI made of Vibranium and is powered by an Infinity Stone (Mind Stone). He has amazing abilities and can even change his molecular density and yet he's easily defeated by being snuck up on and stabbed in the back. Thus, how was Corvus Glaive able to defeat Vision so ea...

Back when I was in school, I remember one of my English teachers telling us about a book she was about to read written from the perspective of both the killer and the killer's victim. Each chapter flipped between the 2, and I think the victim was female and homeless, but this may be wrong. It wa...

I've read about hyperspace travel over the years, sometimes to try and answer questions on here, and something I've always come up against is how long any particular hyperspace trip actually takes. I rarely find direct evidence to answer this, and while I understand that it may often either be ir...

Star Trek: Discovery's lead female role was announced under the pseudonym "Commander Rainsford" but somehow that was changed. Why is her name Michael? I see several explanations online, what was the true inspiration for the character's final production name "Michael Burnham?"

Voldemort and the Death Eaters' idea of "purifying" the blood of the wizard community and getting rid of all muggle-borns sounds a lot like Nazi Germany's idea of an Aryan race. Was Voldemort's regime based on Nazi Germany?
