This was a paperback I read back in the late 80s-early 90s, out of my dad’s collection. It may have been published earlier. Not a typical incubus-succubus story, the main villain is a mythological immortal, half woman half-snake creature, possibly called Lamia or Naga, who feeds on blood and ca...

In the Wheel of Time series, the Seanchan are great believers in omens. Our Andoran friends believe it is all superstitious nonsense, quite similar to how the Seanchan view tales of trollocs and other shadowspawn. Were the omens know before Artur Hawkwing's sons set sail across the Aryth Ocean, ...

I read this story a long time ago, in the 1980s as a child. It was science fiction from the 1970s or earlier, it had a 1960s "feel" to the writing. A short paperback novel? I don't remember a cover or any author's name. Exploration ship from Earth finds a nearly idyllic world - lots of beach...

In How to Train Your Dragon The Hidden World (2019), a guard pokes his spear at Cloudjumper. Toothless roars out to him. Grimmel says: Um, that's right, alpha. No surprises. Why did Grimmel say, "No surprises"?

It’s an isekai manga about a boy who gets reincarnated in the body of a child in a duke or count family. Him and his mother get mistreated by the main wife and her child. After the mom of the MC divorces his dad, he finds out his mom is actually a princess and that makes him royalty by default.

Ok. I’m a half decade late on this movie. But better late than never. I’m truly confused. I read some initial comments on theories of the ending and well more confused. The predominant theories I’ve put into my own summaries: After the accident Rhoda’s natural desire to study or visit the pla...

Anyone know some good comics/mangas about wolves it could be an isekai or anything

At the end of S9E12, the Doctor… He does, however, keep a lot of surrounding information, some of which he lists near the end of the episode. Does this include the time in the castle? That seems to be less related to what he forgot than some of the things he lists, but if he still knew that h...

A post-it note with this concern composed on it has been remaining on my desk for a couple of weeks. Initially, I did not recognize just how to approach such trouble-- I wished to create a response that made sense to any person new to the field of internet growth, yet that still discussed the bet...

Was that Icheb from Voyager in Picard S01E05? In a flashback scene early in ST-PIC S01E05, a humanoid is being vivisected. When his eye is extracted there appears to be wires instead of an optical nerve and there is mention of a cortical node. We know that Icheb donated his functioning cortic...

In Star Wars: A New Hope, after locating the crashed escape pod on Tattooine, a small Imperial troop investigates the place where Davin Felth finds a piece of equipment that he [so famously] addresses: "Look sir, Droids!" Star Wars: A New Hope; click to enlarge As to how he concluded that it...

In S2E2 the Enterprise is in a void where a mysterious and extremely powerful entity known as Negela (spelling?) traps them to learn about the Enterprise. At the end he tells Picard that the race is arrogant, militant (really the Federation is militant... how little he actually knows), etc. To ...

In the S02E14 Moonshot of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Sara protected Apollo 13 service module from meteoroids by using Waverider as a shield. Waverider took significant damage because of that. The result was that Waverider's AI Gideon and primary engine both went offline. They had to maneuver using...

There are different assumptions what the Legion of the Damned are exactly: Some Astartes that were lost in the Warp and reemerged somewhat changed Some dead Space Marines that are given one last chance to do something for the Imperium, aka Saints Daemons of the Starchild, i.e. the Emperors repr...

The Undying Lands were a realm inhabited by Ainur and the Elves. (And possibly Ent-wives? Although that is totally my speculation.) The area included the continent of Aman and the island of Tol Eressëa, and can be seen here along side Middle Earth: The Ainur are effectively gods, who never d...

Just started reading Ian Banks' The Culture, and there was this beginning to a chapter: The Mind had an image to illustrate its information capacity. It liked to imagine the contents of its memory store written out on cards; little slips of paper with tiny writing on them, big enough for a hu...

I saw a movie on Syfi channel about 15 years ago. It was about scientists trying to stop global warming, but overdue it and accidentally cause a new ice age instead. I can’t remember the name of it. Does anyone know what movie it was?

related: What is the relationship between the three “Clone Wars” properties? The 2008 film was a few early episodes culled and split off from the 2008 series so chronologically it fits nicely as an introduction to the TV series. The TV series officially ended with season 6¹, 'The Lost Missions'...

The question When would the Undying Lands become over-populated? was closed as opinion-based, but it has a definitive answer (never) because of specific things that Tolkien wrote. OP's assumption of "natural increase" in the Undying Lands is unfounded.

I read the short story many years ago on a plain ride. It is never made clear what the spacemen who land near a small town look like. You get the idea they are human-like as they carefully explore a town, trying not to be discovered. The final scene has them pulling themselves up to their alien g...
