The 1980s Jim Henson show Fraggle Rock introduced us to the titular creatures, Fraggles, and their home, Fraggle Rock, an immense series of underground caves that seem to access our own world at different points. The Fraggles call us humans "Silly creatures", with one in particular, the explorer "...
So I’ve read the original Foundation trilogy, Foundation, Foundation And Empire, and Second Foundation. Which book should I read next. Keep in mind that I want to finish all the Foundation books and the Robot series. If someone could give the best order to read the following books it would really...
Back in the late seventies I began collecting a sci-fi series. There were just a ton of them, and they were all pretty standard pulp sci-fi hero stuff, all about the same hero and, I believe, by the same author... someone who later became famous and wrote these under a pseudonym. My mom chucked t...
In the Liaden universe, has there yet been a connection made between the Trader books (Balance of Trade, Trade Secret) and the main line (Agent of Change, Fledgling, etc.)? I'm thinking it must be through the creation of Bechimo... but I don't recall reading anything directly on point. Have I mis...
In the 4th book of the Wheel of Time, The Shadow Rising, Chapter 10 (The Stone Stands) Rand uses a powerful weave with the help of Callandor to purge the Shadowspawn from the Stone of Tear. I always had a slight feeling that the magic system was a bit underdeveloped at this point, and that is why...
I read that children's book somewhere between 2004 and 2011(ish), in French, though I wouldn't know whether it was a translation or not. I don't know for sure when it would have been published, perhaps in the 90s-2000s. If memory serves, the cover was blue-ish, with a drawing of a smiling young g...
It’s about a city rounded by a wall, inside the wall only for healthy people and outside the wall for infected people. One time the gate is open and people from outside trying to get to the city and the government who see this give an order to close the gate. When people were pressed together the...
I'm sorry, so very sorry, to be raising this question, but lately, it's been popping into my head and, as usual, I'm hoping to exorcise it by naming it, or at least asking the question.
I think I read it in early college, so around 2000, online, in English, maybe on a fanfic site. It was a fairl...
Background:
So I just learned about the "Ioun stone of Intellect".
In action, it is described as:
When you use an action to toss one of these stones into the air, the stone orbits your head at a distance of 1d3 feet and confers a benefit to you.
A number, potentially a larger one, of years ago I ...
On the surface, Molecular control and Reality manipulation do essentially the same thing: alter physical elements and environments on a fundamental level, essentially doing with them whatsoever the user chooses. At it's base, I think molecular control is just a bit more bound by the laws of physi...
In the Avengers, after Loki got captured:
Captain America: What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?
Loki: I am not overly fond of what follows.
And then, Thor came to took Loki with him.
From what I've gathered from MCU, Thor doesn't produce lightning an...
All I remember off the top of my head was the tree would alter the elderly people into a new form of protector. When we were exiled we were cut off from the tree and were forced to grow old and die instead.
