In the episode "All Good Things..." Picard is seen jumping through time, but being himself at different ages, so it is not a normal time jump where his body moves back and forward in time. It is mentioned that he was suffering from a disease. Was that disease the cause of the time jumps or having...
I would like to know if it's possible that Dr. Strange could bring the decapitated Thanos on the planet Titan 2 back to life by reversing time with the Time Stone.
Consider that in the movie Avengers: Infinity War Thanos was able to bring Vision back to life using the Time Stone so he could take...
I read a collection of short stories in high school for a class in 2012 where humans had discovered how to travel to different dimensions by visiting airports and meditating. I have only a memory of one of the places people could travel. It was inhabited by birdlike humanoids, some of which had t...
Does anyone have the floorplan for Lord Vauxhall’s summer cottage?
From Randall Garrett's story "The Sixteen Keys", in Lord Darcy Investigates.
The story is basically Euler's Seven Bridges of of Königsberg problem, it's hard to follow the descriptions without the floor plan, and most reprints o...
What I need to know is whether or not someone that is already inside Hogwarts could create a portkey to take them to a specific location in Hogwarts. So, let’s say they’re in the Potions classroom; they reach into their pocket, touch the portkey, and it takes them to the Astronomy tower.
I’ve se...
In S02E05 of Always a Witch, Carmen is accidentally dragged back to the past for a brief period. She arrives at a time before the events of the beginning of the first episode of the first season, when she was still a slave in Cristobal's household, and appears to bodily replace her previous self....
I believe enough detail was added that i can answer this question. I don't have the privilege of voting to reopen though. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/228363/isekai-manga-protagonist-summoned-then-given-a-random-power
@TheLethalCarrot I can only think of a handful of ones that have the Main Character switching between worlds a lot. Mostly its that they are refering to what they need to do as contracts instead of quests. If that is not them mistyping, i am almost certain/
"Mostly its that they are refering to what they need to do as contracts" - if that's the more common form, and the OP says contracts then that still leaves this matching quite a lot of things no?
Unless what you think it is matches the white room and roulette wheel?
In the one i'm thinking of, he is summoned into a mostly empty room, which could be misremembered as white. He gets Skills by turning a crank on the side of a box, which outputs a skill card.
He gets a new skill each time, most others that i have read have them get all the skills at the initial summoning time, or acquire them as the Character interacts with the world.
I am looking for a story which I read approximately in the late nineties/early 00s. I read it in German. It might have been a short story from a book containing other similar short stories, but I am not sure about that. The author might have been Stephen King, but I am not sure about that either....
@TheLethalCarrot disagreed. They posted it again, admitted they did, and added no additional information. Different users maybe, but still very much a dupe then.
In Frozen II (2019), Anna confronts Kristoff in the charade game:
Anna: I don't think Olaf should get to rearrange. Doesn't matter. This
is gonna be a cinch.
What did Olaf rearrange in this scene?
In Spiderman Far From Home, Peter transfers EDITH to quentin Beck. But why didn't EDITH recognise Quentin, who was a former employee under Tony Stark?
So why didn't EDITH inform Peter that Mysterio is actually a former Stark industries employee who was fired by Stark and not some guy from multiv...
I am planning to run a Star Wars campaign, and I would like to get a better feel for the setting's economical 'realities', such as approximate relative prices of things and services. I understand that that there are fluctuations of such things (though a combination of a handwavy setting and the e...
@TheLethalCarrot Seems a bit of a complicated situation, but since the main reason for Jordyn's post is that they solved Ceci's question, that answer is the one that should be kept if anything.
@TheLethalCarrot Editing the question isn't normal for an answered story-id, but not a sufficient reason to re-open either. Hadn't checked in here yet, so I wasn't clued in to the whole mess, and I just deferred to Jenayah's dupe-close.
I read this a long, long time ago (I guess maybe 15 years ago, but the book was definately older than that, I would guess at least 30 years old by now, probably older) and am not sure if I got the details right. Also, the story might have been of German origin. I think it goes something like this...
I remember reading short story when I was young where the protagonist passed a series of objects though a discovered portal (in their room?) and they were returned powered by - or containing - worm-like creatures.
I thought this story may have been written by Joan Aiken, but would very much like...
Oh, they've done a lot of CSS updates recently which has broken formatting across the show (and made deleted posts look terrible, arguable whether quotes are better). They may have messed around with some of the other stuff
Not sure if this is somehow related to all the wonkiness going on with the CSS updates recently but a recent deleted post on SFF was deleted (via 3 users) but the flags haven't been marked as helpful and are still pending.
The post was flagged at 15:10:34 and deleted at 15:14:33.
As the title says, are there some episodes, in any of all the released Star Trek series, whose main plot is about an infection/contagion/disease or any other medical hazard, and about how the crew/population try to deal with it, from a medical point of view but also with its crisis management asp...
@Null Is that problematic? I'll raise a flag on a post in FP/LA so it's bumped to the LQP queue for others to see, but I'll VTD on the post itself immediately after reviewing.
More flags means it takes longer to kick it out of the LQP review from Looks OK votes I believe, I'm in the habit of automatically flagging before VTD whether through review or on the post.
@DavidW That's not a problem. The only thing you might do differently is flag for a moderator instead of voting to delete if the post is worth keeping as a comment.
The main character gets taken away from his home by the master. Their main weapon is a staff that he holds in his left hand with a hidden blade in it.
The back of the book had the message "Don't read in the dark".
There was a girl named Alice(?) with red hair. They only ate a small amount befor...
This question was asked and closed today as off-topic due to being a "lists of works or recommendations" question. In the comments, the author asks why his question was labeled off-topic while this very similar question was on-topic. I'll go further and ask why today's question was mostly down-vo...
Depends on the site. On this site my score is always better than my number of answers. Elsewhere my score is usually much lower (relatively) than my number of answers.
I don't post a huge number of answers, but until I get down to the last few tags that are 1/20 or 2/20, the top bar (score) is always longer than the bottom bar (number of posts). Probably just a function of SF&F being a busier site.
Ha! Since I merged my network account, it now goes back to 2010-04, which is before Sci Fi SE even existed. (But my Sci Fi SE account is actually from 2012-02.)
