One of the most recognizable locations on the Enterprise-D is Ten Forward, whose windows are visibly curved, which is easily noticeable from both inside and out. But what about the windows on deck 9, the ones that look like an inverted copy of Ten Forward's windows? Do we ever see those from the ...

It had this scene appear at the end where some like dark shadow like spirit was chasing her down a subway t...

Taskmaster is a Marvel character who can replicate any physical action he sees, as long as it does not require any superhuman abilities. I have researched all over the place, but I cannot find out where Taskmaster's name came from. Where did he get his name?

Obi-Wan: The fact of the matter is you are too close to the Chancellor. The council doesn't like it when he interferes in Jedi affairs. Anakin: I swear to you, I didn't ask to be put on the council. Obi-Wan: But it's what you wanted. Does Anakin really not want to be on council?

This was a large-format (approximately A4) softcover book; I don't recall the cover art. It was given to me as a gift by my aunt, so it may have been picked up remaindered and actually date from earlier. The book was framed as a series of lectures, exercises and tests for Earth recruits who were...

Collin Creevey introduces himself to Harry as a Muggle-Born in Chamber of Secrets, saying "I'm muggle-born, you see. My dad is a milkman. I would love to send a picture of us home to them to prove I've met you." Though I cannot recall the source, I have read that two muggle-borns in the same fa...

Need help finding a title of an anime I watched many years ago. It must have been pre 2000. I remember parts of the story. Started with a few pilots (maybe 4-5), cockpit looked very similar to Star Trek style control room; everyone sat inside, no fighter plane style cockpits. Robot did not split....
