Does anyone recognise this, please?
(I know I found this story again a few years ago, and read it using the Kindle app, but it doesn't show in the app or my account)
The scene is where the astronauts are talking to ground control about HAL's erratic behavior.
The astronauts are somewhere near Jupiter and ground control is on Earth so the minimum communication transit time is 35 minutes. If they were true to science, the communication would near to impossible...
According to this answer, active clone troopers in the GAR (Grand Army of Republic) were in millions. If I draw analogies from the real world, they aren't enough for even planetary wars. China, India, North Korea, Russia and US all have millions of active soldiers just protecting borders. And, th...

The premise of this movie is that almost the entirety of the world's population has been turned into vampires by a virus. Whatever humans haven't been turned into vampires are used as food by the new society. I think the movie focuses on a vampire that finds some uninfected humans and decided to ...
In this movie, a professor or maybe a scientist of some kind creates a device that opens a portal to hell. This ends up sending the main characters there. In hell, one of them is infested with parasites of some kind. Maybe they are giant worms? I don't quite remember. I think, during the course o...

There are many things I find vague in the 2019 French TV series La Dernière Vague, but the very first episode creates a doozy.

While movies tend to retain their original titles worldwide, with a bit of leeway in the translation, TV series and books translated in other languages often have titles that are far removed from the original title.
Should we allow the use of non-English titles, alongside the English title if/wh...
@Jenayah So now I want to ask a meta question about an edge case where the original work was not in English. The meta question you linked to seems only to discuss works that were originally in English. Should I edit that question, add an answer asking about the edge case, or post a new question?
I'm thinking specifically about that weird Soviet adaptation of LoTR, "khraniteli". Should the tag about it really be "guardians"?
My notes on the book make the strange claim that he only appears in exactly three scenes. I cannot believe that I ever cared to count, but my memory of the book agrees with this count. I can only recall:
Harry first encountering Dobby in his bedroom. I think there's a blink-and-you'll-miss it re...
The meta question here gives good reasons why tags should be in English, but the discussion does not cover works that were in a foreign language to begin with. I think this is an edge case that needs to be clarified.
If someone wants to ask a question about such a work, should the corresponding t...
In cartoons, there are many times instances where somebody is on a stage at a theatre or similar, performing poorly. Then somebody from one of the sides takes this "cane" or "rod" tool and physically remove them from stage without them entering the stage.
One example is in the cartoon music video...
