Q: What is Daughter supposed to do?

O. R. MapperAt the end of I am Mother, the following seems to be the state of things: What is Daughter supposed to do? Presumably, the and as far as we could see, nothing appears to be automated in the base unless it is done by the Mother robot.

Q: Ending of the story Mirror of Ice

Sara PhinaIn this story, there's a dispute about the ending. Is this is an open ending, or does it end with the protagonist winning the race? Story (rough edit) is here: https://groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.sf.written/c/tF2gWUrE_fY

Q: Isekai manga where the MC gets summoned and brings the goddess with him

Sauceman34I am looking for a manga where the MC has S luck and is summoned to a different world, but instead brings the goddess with him. With his luck, he spins a raffle drum and wins things such as a legendary sword to a lake house. With that, eventually the goddess somewhat falls for the MC.

Q: Why do people falsely claim Trantor from Foundation is 130% larger than earth in regards to surface area when it is less than half the size?

Rusty ShacklefordI would like to know why people, websites, forums, etc, etc, et.al, all claim Trantor is larger than Earth. In the book, actual printed book, it clearly states Trantor has 19,230,000,000 hectares. Earth has a surface area of 51,001,000,000 hectares. Trantor isn't even half the size of Earth!

Maw attempts to take the Time Stone from around Strange's neck (encased in the Eye of Agamotto) but it burns him (or seems to). The followi...

Q: 20th century kid's fanasty novel with a casstle on the cover

M. A. GoldingDurin the early 1960s, I noticed, but never read, a children's fantasy novel in the children's room of the Abington Library in Jenkintown, PA. I think that it was a fantasy novel because the description inside the cover mentioned fairies or elves. Anyway, I remember that the cover or dust jacket ...

Q: Why was "Caribbean Blue" by Enya edited out of the Netflix release of Deadpool 2?

Kelsey ParsonsThe theatrical version of Deadpool 2 featured "Caribbean Blue", while Wade murdered people in a bath house. In the Netflix version, this is edited to be shorter, and "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton is still playing. Why?

Q: Science fiction book where each person has their own halation around their head?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3I read a book about 20 years ago, and this is what I remember: It was science fiction. (Not fantasy, it was about people here in our world.) The protagonist could see halation above the head of each person he saw, in different colors. The color and shape of the halation let him know about the pe...

Q: What does the Bajoran wormhole look like from behind?

Robert ColumbiaThe Bajoran wormhole has been a staple of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine since the very first episode. We see it opening up in all its grandeur in the opening credits as well as in many of the episodes. As far as I can remember, all of the instances of it opening (or closing) have been from a frontal...

With the new live action Cowboy Bebop out on Netflix (haven't seen it yet), do we need to revisit tagging? for the franchise, for the anime (duh!), both the series and the film, and for the new series?
Or should I take it to meta, again?
Ah, I see we already have the latter.

Q: In Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings Films, what is the eventual fate of Samwise?

Silly but TrueReference this related question for context. In the film adaptation, the ship that Frodo and Bilbo took was the last ship to leave for the Undying Lands. So, in-universe of the films, what eventually happens to film Sam? I’m primarily looking for either authoritative or canonical validation, but ...

Q: Book series about a planet partitioned into different habitats; people/aliens were transported into habitats in new bodies

Buddha BuckI remember reading (some) of a series of novels in the 1980s (or earlier, I read old books then), where the protagonists were transported to a world that was divided into different habitats suitable for different types of intelligent species. The habitats were not necessarily compatible (some Ear...

Q: Case of the OP says clearly in a comment that the answer is correct but does not check the right place

AlfredThis meta-question is similar to one already asked. But the older meta-question mentions the case of an answer only found in comments. I'm asking in the case of an answer actually posted, and when the OP clearly states in a comment that this answer is correct. But just as almost happened to me r...

Q: Story about voluntary time dilation

KevinI'm looking for a story I read in the mid 2000's (though I believe the book itself was older than that) in which the protagonist encounters a society in which the inhabitants can speed up and slow down their subjective experience of time. Those that slow down their time-stream appeared to everyon...

Q: American astronaut abducted from moon, placed in alien zoo, must work with time-traveling Roman soldier

Robert ColumbiaI found this novel in English at my local library in the mid-1990's, but the book itself looked like it was from the 1950's or 60's. If I remember correctly, it had a picture of an astronaut in a space suit on the cover. In the story, an American astronaut travels to an already-established Lunar ...

S. W. G.During the duel we hear the voice of RM telling / showing him to ge tkilledd by Jamis. It is not clear to me, why she suggeste him just that, and why of course he refued to stick to her suggestion.

Q: Show where an episode ends with a man levitating, imprisoned in a top secret facility?

AncientSwordRageI watched the show in the 90s possibly early 00s, and it didn't seem like it could have been made any earlier than the late 80s. The show was part of an episodic mystery show like Outer Limits or Twilight Zone, or possibly X-Files? In this episode I think a man had been abducted by, or had been a...
