I watched this video today by Cathode Ray Dude who made an analogy to real life battle shorts to the fictional plasma/EPS relays that are frequently "bypassed" in the Star Trek TV series as a way to force a system to respond to a command. There are a lot of episodes across several different serie...

Data, pre- "Generations", famously claims that he cannot feel emotion. However, the exact definition of "emotion" is not made clear in the series, as far as I know. Clearly he feels curious, and has often referred to things as "fascinating". Both of these could be called "emotion". Is there anyth...

In the first movie the dad takes his son near a waterfall where they can even shout or scream but the aliens wouldn't hear it because of the ambient sound. So why didn't the family go live near the waterfall? Or near another loud ambient sound? Or at least go have the baby in the waterfall where ...

-Movie was definitely released before 2016. -it is about a family with 3 kids for some reason it is illegal to have more than 2 kids.

Last year, I saw an Asian movie on Tubi about three kids who go into a cave (actually, a large hole in the ground). When an earthquake-like even happens, one of the boys stays behind after the other two leave the cave. This boy stops ageing. The final shot at the end of the film shows the boy on ...

This is a short story from Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in the 1980s, I think. Merlin finds Arthur's daughter in a modern American city, for purposes I don't remember. The key thing I remember is the shocking revelation that I believe the story ends with the daughter reconciled with Merlin ...
