In general, A Canticle for Leibowitz is known as science fiction and as I recall, it is a science fiction story: no magic spells, etc. But the Wanderer I think was supposed to be supernaturally old or there is someone who is mistaken for the same character by other characters many years apart? Is...

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring portrays Arwen, daughter of Elrond, saving Frodo from the Riders and summoning the flood-waters. However the book says (which I am currently reading) that it was Glorfindel's horse, Asfaloth, who bore away Frodo and outran the Riders/Ringwraiths. ...

What are some examples of TV shows and movies where people are consumed and then restored? This means that they come out alive or time is reversed to the point before they were consumed.

I read this a while back and can’t remember much. It was a short story where a man can only think in the language of ads - the narrative is subjective to his POV and he can barely describe himself or his environment except in cliché advertisement phrases like “I walked out and the cool foam rush ...

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2011), Helena speaks to Harry Potter about diadem: Helena: It's here...in the castle, in the place where everything is hidden. If you have to ask...you will never know. If you know, you need only ask. Why would Harry Potter still need to ask if he...

How is it determined which portraits in Harry Potter can talk? Because if I had a loved one die - like Sirius - it would make me feel so much better if I could talk to them. So how is it decided which ones can talk?

These tiles are, to my knowledge, not labelled in any meaningful way; the following image is listed as "5x10_ST-FED-HT_8". This caught my eye; it looks familiar and I'd like to use it in my campaign, b...

I'm looking for a comic about an alien on earth that is attacked by humans. Some plot points that I (believe to) remember: Alien is living with his family. I think wife and one child. He leaves home to go somewhere. In my mind he's going to work. I think it's raining outside He is attacked by hu...

What i remember from the plot: Human scientists captured by alien empire, dumped on some planet with no way out alter their DNA with local animals to be on-par with alien captors regarding speed and strength. They slowly take the fight to that alien empire that enslaved them. There is also an exi...

I think I read this in the last five years, but I also think it may have been a reread. It was a full-sized novel, I think, with a set of magicians (healers?) dealing with a deadly epidemic in their city that involved high fevers and eventual death. The bit I'm remembering is where they find the ...

In a flashback scene, we learn that The part that confused me is that Where did this gun come from?

I may have missed it. The Voyager encounters a destroyed ship leaving the system. It is implied that it is a dead ship, possibly destroyed in the ongoing conflict. But why was it racing out of the system and why was it dead?

Does anyone know a movie where the main guy and his (ex??)girlfriend both have a scar on their hands from a gunshot? I watched this movie about 12 years ago at the movie theatres and i've been trying to find it again. I don't really remember much from it though, just that there was a scene at the...
