Okay so theres this book I read probably back in 4th or 5th grade. Definitely dystopian sci-fi. It was about this family of aliens with like special blue hair, and they went to this dystopian dimension. In the dimension I remember the sick or the old were killed and they all wore the same clothes...

Off hand, the stupidest story I ever read and why I wondered even then why my mom bought me comic books or I guess slightly thicker sort of graphic novels (but I don't think this was exactly a graphic novel). The boxer wants to go up a weight class or something and figures if he takes the whole b...

In the story Thomas Comes to Breakfast, from Branch Line Engines by the Rev. W Awdry, Thomas's driver tells him: "You know just where to stop, Thomas! You could almost manage without me!" Thomas, conceited, thinks this is literally true and that he does not need his driver anymore. So he decide...

In S5:E5 the Razorback: and in S5:E6 the Razorback: My impression from the books was that once you have 'dumped the core' you had effectively left yourself drifting in space and had to await rescue.

I'm looking for a YA book (I'd guess aimed at 12+, but I'm not very sure. No romance, and the characters were children/young teens, but it was quite scary). I probably read it in 2004-2008(ish). It was a short-medium paperback, taken out from a village library in England. It was fairly modern, wi...

I don't remember much but there was this boy who found it hard to fit in; not many people liked him because of one of his legs. His dad didn't let him learn magic because of what is mother said before she died. The boy was sitting in front on the office of his school for is dad, his dad came and ...

Margaret Atwood makes a lot of predictions in Oryx and Crake. Which of her predictions turned out to be true, and which of them were wrong and will probably never come true?

I remember reading a Sci-Fi book as a kid. The protagonist caught a supposedly fatal alien skin disease that caused the body to "crystalize". A secret organization treated him with devices that were drilled into the body and vibrated, the result was a person practically bulletproof, and stronge...

The ASOIAF wiki gives the year of events whenever possible. But I can't tell how these are determined in the source material. I recently re-read A Game of Thrones and am starting in on a re-read of A Clash of Kings, and not once did I see any reference to how many years it has been since Aegon's ...

Why was the portal ultimately closed when Berem died on the foundation stone instead of opening it for Takhisis? Early on the lore when Jasla dies, there is "a chain forged of love" effect that bars Takhisis from using the gate, but when Berem dies in Spring Dawning and he and Jasla are freed, wh...

In Watchmen and most of its adaptations, Doctor Manhattan has the power to experience all of his life simultaneously. He can be at the formation of the Crimebusters and at his breakup with Silk Spectre II at the same time. I am aware that DC's Captain Atom was the inspiration for Doctor Manhattan...
