I remembered only some bizarre details about this novel. Space pirates that are really incompetent, they try to steal some stuff from an enormous ship on an enormous space habitat... This ship is actually an oceangoing vessel on an artificial ocean? Somehow screws it up even when everything is ab...

In Clone Wars, the blasts were blue (extra ionization) to be more effective against droids. In general, blaster bolts appear to be read. Since this is the case, why is Gar Saxon’s group of super commandos and his blaster fire yellow ammunition?

Novella where protagonist is not powerful in home universe but is transported to Nazi Germany, very sensitive to the eyeglasses taken from concentration camp. Power truly blooms when he sacrifices self at one point.

I'm pretty sure it's a manwha. The female lead has pink hair. She was either reborn into the world or went back in time but she knows she's supposed to die in like 5 years however there's a cure for her illness she has to eat a certain berry everyday for 5 years but has to do it in secret so her ...

It was a novel classified as young adult. I dont remember the character names. First off, it was a full-length novel (around 300-400 pages, but i might be off by a lot). The cover is a sunflower-yellow background with a large white flower put on the solid yellow background. In this, there are stu...

It's been since middle school that I read this book but I do not remember the title, cover, or author. In the book, a boy with telepathic powers escapes a lab, goes to change his look at a shop- which suddenly interests the store clerk girl with his new goth/alt. look. There are a few other chara...

I just saw scenes of this on another site, but without much information about it. A black-haired and scantily clad princess is left in her castle to learn about the elements when creatures similar to D&D-style orcs kidnap her. Somehow separated from the orcs (if that's what they are), said prince...

Looking for a live action TV show/movie where Kids play Computer games which looks like WOW a lot. They can enter this Computer world and then the show swiches to animated. I needs to be aired between late 90's and 2010. One thing I remember about the show there was a heavy emphesis on the matter...

When Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the X-Men, what was the inspiration and concept behind the superhero character Warren Worthington III? Why did they choose the idea of him being a wealthy billionaire playboy as well as his physical appearance?

I am trying to remember a cartoon episode where aliens think squirrels control the Earth. I think it was an episode in a cartoon but it could've been part of a movie. I have tried looking it up online but can't seem to come up with anything.

hope I'm doing this right - I did try a search first but couldn't find anything that seemed relevant. Back when I was in middle/high school in the 90s, I would sometimes pick books off the SF/F shelves at the school library pretty much at random, just based on something about them that seemed int...

Back in the early 2000's, I read a scifi book that I'm now trying to recall. I picked it up in a public school library. The book might have been published in the 80's or 90's. Here's what I remember... The story followed a remarkably intelligent boy. He was raised in an isolated environment large...

I'm looking for a story, I think 60s / 70s but I'm not sure. A man learned of a doctor who injects a serum that allows you to dream everything you want, so he goes to this doctor to find out. Then he returns home, where he lives a few days of banal normality: he scolds the children who are arguin...

I remember reading a short story that really impressed me as a child in the 90's. It was sci-fi anthology from my father's old book collection, so probably at the very least a decade old already. Plot/summary The story revolves around the main character and his/her family/clan and their simple li...

In WandaVision episode 5, the following exchange takes place: MONICA: Uh, she could've taken out Thanos on her own if he hadn't initiated a blitz. I mean, nobody else came close. JIMMY: Well, I'd argue that Captain Marvel came close. Out of universe this is an obvious reference to some eye catc...

In WandaVision, White Vision is introduced. This character is different from the Vision due to its colour, but also its (non-existent?) stone. As you can see in the image below, the Vision is powered by the Mind Stone. However, White Vision has a blue space where the stone would be. We know that ...

In Liu Cixin's Rememberance of Earth's Past series book 3: Death's End, Cheng Xin has joined the PIA - planetary defence intelligence agency - as an intern.

Origin seems like a fundamentalist religion from the get-go, given the conflcy between the Ori and the Ancients

This thread reminded me of a story I read in Analog in the post-2000 era, about a war on the moon (I'm pretty sure) between two nations, one of which decided strategies via public vote, and one of which had the authoritarian ruler decide such matters.
