Inspired by this question about a version of "The Little Mermaid," I remembered that I saw (some time between 1980 and 1984 in Lansing, Michigan—possibly at Michigan State University) a marionette show telling the same Hans Christian Andersen story. I remember being very impressed with it, as by ...

I swear i seen a different book cover that similar to that but can't put my mind into it

In the movie Star Wars - Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, the Death Star 2 orbits around the moon of Endor. According to the Death Star 2 wiki page on Wookiepedia, the space station did not have functioning Ion Engines nor a functioning Hyperdrive system: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/DS-2_De...

I'm trying to track down a piece of Cold War fiction I once read in an English-language SF anthology. It is set some time after World War III had broken out between the USSR and the USA (and probably lots of other nations), with a great many nukes being dropped on strategic targets. It appeared t...

I am certain it may have been a sequel or series. I read this book when I was a a young girl between 2007-2010 maybe? I could be way off!! I don’t remember the author or any of the characters names but I vaguely remember the storyline and a few events that transpired. So this book is about a youn...

Looking for one book. I only remember the beginning of the piece. Some guy found a derelict computer, sat down at it and started doing something, and then he saw a man with a gun walk up to the desk, they looked at each other in silence for a while, then the guy mechanically pressed the Enter but...

I don’t remember the narrative as much as I remember some flashes of the visuals i remember seeing as a very young kid. It was a live action children’s program or movie where there were these different types of creatures, they were actors dressed in costumes kind of like H.R. Puffnstuff, they wer...

IIRC this is a relatively short story. A small group of human researchers encounter a planet (unknown if earth) absolutely covered in this sentient goo that also absorbs and transmutes organic matter into itself. They try to study it until the goo accidentally escapes containment and absorbs som...

Why are the Death Stars called the death stars?, I mean they are not supposed to destroy stars so why Death star and not something like Planet Killer?

I want to recommend this book to someone else but I can't remember the title or the author. Searching for it on the internet appears to be nearly impossible because it wasn't very successful and because, well, it should have been called "The Crystal Singers" and that was taken... So we have human...

An older male researcher and a younger female researcher (a strange relationship develops here with the age gap and power dynamic) are working on some dimensional rift (maybe on a moon base) trying to bridge the gap between our dimension and a neighboring one. Meanwhile, the book also shows the p...

Throughout the Star Trek franchise, we see someone call out for security. It may be Kirk punching those ubiquitous hallway buttons, someone tapping their combadge, or simply someone shouting at the ceiling for security. Eventually a security team arrives to handle the situation. To whom are the...

So Kylo Ren is not considered a Sith Lord and nor is Snoke. But they have been described as being strong with the dark side. So what makes you a Sith Lord, isn't being the embodiment of evil enough?

Some characters were knights. Some could mindspeak with some animals. One character was in WW2 and never aged. Others lived like Native Americans.

When Sauron was defeated in the War of the Last Alliance at the end of the Second Age, why did his spirit reform in Mirkwood and not elsewhere? Did Sauron have some sort of connection with Mirkwood that meant that he could reform there, or was he able to choose from anywhere and simply chose Mirk...

A male protagonist wakes up in a parallel reality where he is married. His alternate self is not a very nice person. WWII never happened and the society is behind in technological progress compared to the original reality. He eventually ends up back in his original reality and looks for the the w...

This is part of the answer to How did the Death Star 2 stay in orbit above Endor when it did not have functional ion engines nor a functional hyperdrive system?. The answer is so large I decided to split off this piece and make it its own question that I can self-answer for reference.

There are a lot of film clips used in the folk horror documentary Woodlands Dark & Days Bewitched and as far as I can tell not all them are identified for the viewer. Toward the end of the documentary, a few minutes into the final, sixth, segment "Folk Horror Revival" there were two such unidenti...

I've recently gone on a binge of shows I've watched as a child and one show recently came to mind In this show there are three protagonists. Two males and one female. The female being related to the villain one way or another. The crew battle against bad guys in groups of threes. The battle in th...
