The Great Machine plays a pivotal role in Babylon 5 especially as it relates to Babylon 4. There's a small amount of back story in earlier seasons when Draal takes over the machine. In S3E16, they mention that the Great Machine is over 500 years old. I'm curious as to the origin of the Great Mach...

Humans travelling in space play multidimensional chess games (7 dimensions?). One of the female characters may have a name "stormy..." or similar. I read it in italian translation as a kid at the library about 40 years ago.

Sci-fi book from '70s or '80s. The government has hundreds of planets and manages them inefficiently. They are having individual planets rebel and it is happening more often. When the regular military cannot handle the problems they call on a planet whose only resource is mercenaries. They are ex...

In real life, there is a poem written by Shelley, called Ozymandias. While the coincidence seems very unlikely I am wondering if this is an actual reference to this poem. While I do not know if this is the only existing piece of text that mentions Ozymandias, the content of the text in the book...

Why does Luna Lovegood reading book upside down?

I watched some episodes of that series when I was young, and from time to time it comes to my mind; however, I had never been able to find its name. I am quite sure (from the drawing style) it was a western production, not an anime. I remember that the main hero is a marine biologist or something...

From Memory Alpha: the Federation was fighting a costly war at the time they learned of the mirror universe and Starfleet admiralty was afraid of desperate attempts to reunite with loved ones... It seems like an interesting plot, but I don't think it's ever been done in any iteration of Star Tr...

Short story might date back to the fifties or sixties. Aliens make contact with Earth and, in a twist on that old SF trope, they want women. But just the fat ones. Different standards of beauty and all that. The women are cool with it because they're basically treated like royalty.

I was very young, but some details have remained with me throughout the years and I always wanted to find it. I collected thousands of comics in the '90s, but never came across this one. It was an American newsstand comic sold in a UK newsagents, so very likely DC or Marvel; I'm guessing mid to l...

In 1984-85 I read a short sci-fi story in a book of stories about a scientist who created a device that sends him to an alternate dimension. At first there is very little difference from our own but, I believe, he finds himself moving uncontrollably through dimensions that begin to differ substa...

Around the early 1990s, I read this book about a guy held in captivity and a girl working with fvi or something. She can see memories of the person by touching an object, and maybe she's telepathic as well. She was able to connect to the guy who was missing. All I remember is that the guy was in ...
