Q: Short story about the difficulties of alien/human cooperation

undergroundmonorailI think I would have read this a few years ago, but I really have no more specific time frame than that, unfortunately. Honestly, it might even have just been a comment in a writing prompt subreddit or something, but I suppose there's no harm in asking. The story is from the perspective of a memb...

Q: Is this a mistake in The Heritage of Shannara?

LarryOn page 97-98 of The Heritage of Shannara by Terry Brooks, Brin encounters Spider Gnomes while "looking for the Sword of Shannara". However, Brin was looking for the Ildatch, the book of black magic. Is there an in-universe explanation for this, or is this a mistake in the writing?

Q: What do we know about the ultimate fate of the Borg?

J. MiniThe overwhelming impression that one gets while watching Star Trek Voyager is that the Borg will win in the Delta Quadrant. With only a handful of exceptions, that are vastly superior to everything else that we see there. But what do we actually know about their ultimate fate? All that I can thin...

GendoIkariIn the final episodes of Enterprise, we discover that John Paxton used DNA from Tucker and T'Pol to create a half-human half-Vulcan baby. It is unclear to me from the episodes why he actually did this. Is a clear explanation ever given? He does reveal the baby to the world in his big speech; show...

Q: Thin-tentacle alien enwrapping its victims

elmordiegoI saw it in the 90s. Could have been a 70s-90s sci-fi horror movie or an episode of a series. The story played out on either a space ship or in some sort of a planet base. I remember only the tentacles, not sure if the rest of the alien was depicted. However the tentacles were multiple, very fast...

Q: Does a curse need to hit a person in order for it to work?

MBEllisAt first glance, I would think that the curse needs to hit a person for it to work. We see plenty of people dodge spells. Crabbe wheeled around and screamed, "Avada Kedavra!" again. Ron leapt out of sight to avoid the jet of green light. However, Neville manages to unintentionally disarm 2 peop...

Anthony XIn Lyra's home world in both the "His Dark Materials" HBO series and the Golden Compass 2007 movie, aside from daemons in animal form, we only see bears which can talk and have human-like minds and personalities. We don't, so far as I can tell, see any "ordinary" animals such as exist in our worl...

Q: TV show that involves teens/kids going to another world

SoySauceI remember from the show that the kids are live actors that are transported into another world where they use CGI for that side, or at least I think it is CGI. It is not Code Lyoko or reboot: the guardian, but it is like those shows. Another thing I remember from the show is a red wheel on a pipe...
