A book I read in the mid-late 60’s, has humanity (except for one light cruiser) wiped out within minutes across space. The light cruiser, named Challenger, hides in a lunar crater, sends off small lifeboats with gene banks, blanking all viewports so each lifeboat heads in an unknown direction. Ev...

In Star Wars Legends, there is the visible Manarai Mountains mentioned in Timothy Zahn’s book, Heir to the Empire. There is also Monument Plaza which is the highest and only visible mountain on Coruscant. If I were writing a fan story that was set on Coruscant which of these should/would I use. I...

Who is behind creating the character Kreann on this site because it's not me

The alien's natural form was a glowing white light that traveled in space. It was able to penetrate a starship's hull in order to observe the inside. However, it could also take humanoid form by impregnating an individual and being born. When the alien did this, it had a very short gestation peri...

What is the best order to watch and read Star Trek. Every thing from TOS and then beyond it

Story is a normal Earth girl is meeting her alien pen pal, who she talks to about everything. When the pen pal arrives, the girl goes with her in her flying (?) car and hears more about the alien world, which the alien says sucks. The girl asks to go home, but before they drop her back off, the a...

Looking for the title of a short sci-fi story, in which a guy was able to 'recreate' the woman of his dreams, only it was conceived still and dead, since her body lacked all the essentials of life. The guy was arrested for murder, then an autopsy reveals she has no organs, it was basically, a bea...

From what I remember the protagonist was very energetic and had spiky hair, probably red, and also a sword nail. He used cards and i remember that in the movie he summoned a dragon with them or Something like that. As I recall, at the end of the film he ends up becoming king of the prom or whatever

My memory may be faulty, but I could have sworn that I read (sometime in the 1970s) that the late D. C. Fontana was developing a science fiction TV show called 'The Wings of Space'. I have found a number of sites around the internet dealing with her work and none mention this show, which was supp...

I saw this anime on YouTube some years ago, I remember that its name was one word but maybe it was just named like that to not be removed from YouTube. In the first episode, I think that the main character (a young boy) either arrived from another word, or had amnesia, I'm really not sure on this...

This story is most definitely a product of the late 1960s/70s because of its sexual nature. I am pretty sure it was in one of the American magazines of the period, although it might have been an anthology (Dangerous Visions, maybe?). The time is the near future. The hero is being chased by somebo...

Like Picard's iconic "Engage!", all (most?) captains say something before warp. Earlier in the Star Trek: Discovery, it was funny seeing Saru trying to find a killer catchphrase. Star Trek: Discovery finale nailed it when What are all of the captain's catchphrases have we encountered in the enti...

Likely from an annual awards anthology or collection. Cold War theme. Russian/Chinese(?) state actor develops 100s of channels of TV content tailored to every type of individual in US to influence behavior. This was back when there were only 3 network stations and before cable was a thing so 50...

We all know how old Harry is, but what about Hedwig? Sure you might think it doesn't matter but I'd like to know more.

I read this short 1930s story in the 1960s; it was certainly in one of Ultimate Publishing's magazines - Amazing, Fantastic, or one of their all-reprint mags. All I can remember is that some kind of giant nuclear fire is threatening the whole world - how it started I don't know. The MC flies a he...

Between 1978 and 1983, I read three (?) books in a series which described a future world in change. (The books I read were in Danish, translated from English.) The change depended on the location of the suns, and one of the phases or events was referred to in Danish as FAT DEATH. There were proba...

I vaguely recall a made-for-tv? movie (25ish years ago) and I remember some plot points but I can't seem to track it down by googling. I may be mis-remembering some of the details. A corporate suit comes home and starts to get romantic on the kitchen floor with his wife but the dishwasher overflo...

I remember watching an episode of a cartoon on TV sometime between 2009 and 2013. I don't remember what channel I was watching it on, but it was almost certainly a rerun. In it, a character who was missing an arm (or perhaps just a hand) had a prosthetic arm given to him by one of the other chara...

"A Day at the Park" is an excellent philosophical comic by Kostas Kiriakakis, featuring two rather odd-looking creatures discussing the merits of questions and answers. (It applies very well to some discussions on Stack Exchange, notably "We're Rewarding the Question Askers".) The two main charac...
