I can’t remember much on it as I only saw a clip of it from YouTube a long time ago but it looked different from most other mecha anime. It seemed to be an older anime. In the scene, there was this girl who entered a garage, a guy in the garage offered her to enter this mech/vehicle hybrid. It ha...

In Miss Audrey's Night Car, staff may lead visitors into one of the side rooms. There, visitors are sometimes shown to open up and share traumatizing experiences.

In the comic, Scrooge discovers that, due to a weird law, he legally owns a big copper ore mining operation just as the price of copper skyrockets. The "owners" say that Scrooge knows that their lawyers will "get your silly loophole overturned", but they also mention that waiting for that will co...

Nasa's Perseverance rover landed on Jezero Crater today. Does anyone know whether this particular area appears anywhere in Kim Stanley Robinson's Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy? I think is somewhat near the city of Burroughs, which is submerged at the end.

A dystopian future where people lived in buildings with contraceptive gas. When they got permission to become parents, they would leave the city. The prospective parents would live without the contraceptive gas until an egg and a sperm would be harvested from the couple and placed in an artificia...

This is a short story I read maybe in the '80s. Earth has been thrown away from the Sun, probably due to a very large object passing through the Solar System, and the atmosphere has frozen in layers. There is a small family - father, mother, two children, who live in a room they have made airtig...

In series 2, Olivia gets trapped in the alternate universe with Walternate. The other Olivia (Fauxlivia) is now pretending to be Olivia. I understand that Walternate wanted Olivia for her cortexiphan but how did Walternate know she had cortexiphan. I thought that only Walter would know because he...

In the essay "Whirligig World" at the back of Hal Clement's Mission of Gravity (about how the planet Mesklin was invented for the book) he states that he thought of titling the book Pancake in the Sky, "but Isaac Asimov threatened violence". What does this mean?

At the end of Timeslides, we see that the changes Rimmer make to the past mean: Obviously this is just a gag, because seconds later: and in the next episode he's back to normal. How did his changes in the past make that happen?

I am looking for an anime. In it, there is a boy who uses something like a bowling ball as a weapon. If I remember correctly then the ball even talks. I remember the scene where the boy saves the girl. I watched this anime a long time ago so I don't remember it at all.

In the scene where Captain Marvel was virtually sent to meet the Supreme Intelligent, Nirvana's song "Come as You Are" started playing. Was the song inserted in the movie with purpose?

In the latest episode of WandaVision, we learn that We're then shown (in flashback) a number of pieces of footage from various different angles that clearly indicate what was going on. If I'd been eagle-eyed enough, would I have seen those incidents in earlier episodes?

I read the story for the first time in 1982 or 1983, so obviously it is written before that period. The plot, at least what I remember is following: There are two hostile space craft fleets facing each other. It could be that the one is from planet Earth. The space ships do not shoot at each othe...

The hours of the bat,owl,ghosts or wolf are DEFINITELY NIGHT HOURS!They extend from sunset to sunrise and THEY DO HAVE VERY SPECIFIC TIMES(as for example,the hour of the wolf between 3 and 4 AM)!

I feel like the answer to this is fairly obvious, but I'm curious if there's any evidence that says otherwise. spoilers for TCW season 7 and Rebels and Mandalorian season 2 At the end of season 7 of The Clone Wars, we see Ahsoka's last interaction with Obi-Wan is when he tells her via hologram th...

I have always assumed that Five doesn't have another name because he jumped into the apocalyptic future before robot mom gave the other kids names (One = Luther, Two = Diego, etc). But in S2 of the Netflix show, when Luther and Five confront "adult Five" in the Irish pub, he knows Luther's name. ...

The movie was released in the last 15 years, probably between 2008-2018. "Pre-movie" (like what happens before the main part of the movie begins): The movie was in the future. The people have to wear gas masks to go outside because the air is so polluted. A guy is running away from the cops. The...
