In Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith, during the duel between Obi Wan, Anakin, and Count Dooku on board the dreadnaught ship The Invisible Hand, I have always wondered why Dooku went through the trouble of putting part of the bridge platform on top of Obi Wan Kenobi. I am assuming that Cou...

I recall reading a very good short story about a metaphysician. He could identify intentions and motives almost instantly, and the culminating incident was when he quickly identified a group of people and weapons in a room, and take action before they had a chance to move. I read it in the 80s, o...

First at all problem to solve on Earth then on space. I have question. You know what many countries and regions have demographic problems like (all Eastern Europe, Germany, Russia, Japan e.t.c). Reason - low birthrates and emigration to more developed countries e.t.c. So countries attract imigran...

I recently saw the Beyblade movie the Fierce battle scene in which dragoon Beyblade or other Beyblades got trapped in stone wall, it's much similar to the scene I watched long years ago like trapped, sealed in wall or stone wall.But didn't know anything about it or name of the show ,Maybe any oth...

I saw a film or episode of a show last week, where one of the major characters was repeatedly called "stranger" by a minor character. It was sort of implied to be an insult, as the two characters were already acquainted. But eventually another character explains that "stranger" is something of a ...

I believe I read this in the mid-to-late 1980s, quite possibly in Analog. I don't recall the justification, but legal disputes (as between corporations or countries) are sometimes resolved in a form of virtual trial by combat, where 2 professional gamer-players operate either side of a historical...

I read this one probably something over forty years ago, in a collection. I do not remember title of the story or the collection, and I do not recall the author. I think it may have originally have appeared in "Playboy", but I don't know. F&SF would also be a likely place. The initial hook was...

I'm looking for a pair of surreal sci-fi books, probably from the mid to late 90s, with a comdemy tone. Both set on Mars, featuring the following (not sure which book contains which bit): A battle between a robot angel and a train human furniture a green (time travelling?) scientist with plant D...

This was an Asian movie/serie my parents watched a few years ago (before 2018, although I'm not entirely sure when exactly). Most likely Chinese, but it could also be Vietnamese; unlikely to be Korean nor Japanese, although I wouldn't rule them out entirely either. The movie was in full colour an...

‘He’s going out of harm’s way, I tell you,’ answered Shagrat. ‘See? He’s precious. I don’t trust all my lads, and none of yours; nor you neither, when you’re mad for fun. He’s going where I want him, and where you won’t come, if you don’t keep civil. Up to the top, I say. He’ll be safe there.’ ‘...

in S1E2 of Batman Beyond, after inspecting the disc on Bruce's computer, are we to believe that Bruce didn't take a copy of the disc before giving it back to Terry? (seems like an incredibly stupid thing to forget, if that disc contains the only evidence they have... and ofc the disc was stolen b...

I'm looking for a short story I read, probably online, within the last three years. It is set on Earth in the near future. The main character is a young woman who becomes pregnant, but for some reason, over a certain period babies were born in the shape of spheres, or cubes, tetrahedra etc, inste...

The landlord had mated with She-Hulk, sired a clan of hillbilly hulk monsters that killed Logan’s family out of boredom despite having promised to not kill them if he payed the rent, and he had super strength even in human form and his Hulk form was as big as a building. Logan defeats him by burs...

Years ago, I heard of a book that sounded really interesting! I don't remember the specifics exactly, but from what I remember, two people travel to the past. Somehow they get separated, I believe, and one becomes a member of the rich/elite, while the other becomes poor. I apologize if all of the...

I'm trying to identify the a children's fantasy book. My sense is that it's pretty old (before 1950) but I could be wrong. At the beginning of the book, one of the boys in the group buys a little model ship. The first inkling he has that something funny is happening is that it changes size so it ...
