Q: How often did Daleks appear on comedy television shows?

uhohGoogle put the video "Dalek Seven-2 on Spike Milligan's 'Q6'" in my search results, and I found it surprising to see a Dalek appear in a television sitcom (if indeed that's the right take on this). Question: How often did Daleks appear on comedy television shows? Is this the only time, is there a...

@SQB I want to say something snarky about repetitive local news channels, but I can't make it zing.

Q: 1980s book where humans return to Earth and find magical creatures are back

Vince GonzalesI am trying to find a 1980s science fiction title about humans who return to Earth and find magical creatures are back. The cover had a tree or woods on it, and a blond male in a spacesuit who was looking at a dwarf or a gnome. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Book about a spacecraft flying towards a distant planet that had been seeded hundreds of years earlier

Daniel FoxHi I am looking for a book I started to read more than 20 years ago. It starts out with a ship flying towards a planet that had been seeded hundreds of years earlier. It has a lot of political intrigue and the people sort of look down on the people on the planet because they really are not all ...

Q: YA sci fi book where empathic (or color changing) alien befriends a young girl

user144172I think the cover had the female protagonist, standing, facing towards the front, maybe slightly turned as if to look back. All I really remember is that she makes friends with one of the aliens because she lives? lands? on their planet, and I don't remember any significant plot points. I think t...

Q: Movie about a man who claims to be an alien

user73910I watched a dubbed movie about a man who claims to actually be an alien from very far away. This man meets with a group of scientists who are interested in what he has to say. The man explains that he uses the energy of light to quickly travel anywhere in space. One of the scientists asks whether...

Q: Which mountain is higher, Caradhras or the Halifirien?

Aragorn ElessarI wonder which mountain's peak likely has the higher elevation above sea level, the Caradhras (highest mountain of the Misty Mountains, located above Khazad-Dûm) or the Eilenaer/Halifirien (at the border between Rohan and Gondor, highest of the seven beacon mountains, probably highest mountain of...

Q: How would Wall-E be different if he could be restored to his past self at the command of his loved one (Eve)?

user144158Suppose Wall-E's base station can make a backup of Wall-E regularly, so the latest backup will be the point in which Eve entered standby mode after grabbing the plant. When Wall-E was rebuilt, in this situation, Eve can command Wall-E's base station to restore Wall-E to his past self, thus immedi...

Q: Foreign (non-US) film about a boy who travels back in time and saves a village

NimmyNugginThe film was a foreign film (Eastern European?) produced I think in the 2010s. The film was about a teenage boy who is terrified of heights. On a school trip into the mountains he somehow travels back in time. (There was an eclipse. He gets sucked into a hole that opens in the mountain.) Eventual...

Q: Infection & Immunity in the Matrix- How did Neo not get sick upon leaving?

MaeFor context, I've only seen the first film, and only all the way through at a social event. When Neo is unplugged, he's leaving a sterile or at least very isolated enviroment, getting dunked in sketchy standing water, and being exposed to other people for the first time in his life. When you incr...

@AncientSwordRage agreed
@DavidW thanks for fixing the David Brin thing properly
@Randal'Thor yeah, we mostly get questions about buiding science fiction tech in the real world
@DavidW that one, yes
I don't see many questions about future works, but admittedly there were somewhat more when Star Wars trailers were already out

Q: Was the name "Baggins" inspired by the French word for "ring"?

WadeThere is some discussion on the origins of the name Baggins in this question. However, it only revolves around whether or not it is related to Bilbo being a thief, and I am interested in something else, not discussed there. I always wondered whether Tolkien had ever commented on whether his inven...

Q: Fantasy movie from 80s or 70s with rapid ageing death scene

Similar effect like in Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade,...

Q: Manhwa where the number one ranked player lost to the number two player, and then deleted his account

IdontremembermanhuasIt is about a game where the MC is the number 1 player in the ranking (at least from what I remember). He was a blacksmith too but he lost to the number 2 ranker (sorry I'm not good at English) who I think was a woman mage. After he lost he deleted his account and the mage became the number 1 pla...
