Q: Looking for a story I read many years ago

Keith StolzenbachIn this story one group of characters live in a fairly primitive world full of tensions - between tribes I believe. Occasionally they will uncover by mistake buried “god wires”. The parallel story is that the first group of characters are part of an artificial world used to train administrators ...

Q: Show or anime where the main character uses a red dragon card to transform in to a suit of armor

Kherbe AndogDo you know an anime where the main character uses a red dragon card to transform in to a suit of armor? One of his companions uses a blue shark card and the other one uses a brown rhino card to transform into the armor. They use a device that transports them in the cocoon where they fight.

Q: SETI did receive signals from deep space but this news was suppressed. Why?

AlfredI'm not a conspirationist. This is just SF ! I read this rather depressing story about 10 years ago, I guess, in a collection that was probably much older. The Project “Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence” is to be terminated. It never found any proof of extra-terrestrial intelligence. The...

Q: What do I say to those who say Lord of the Rings and Harry potter and Starwars are the same thing?

Grand Master SteveOn a certain yes or no podcast by Michael Knowles the question is asked weather Harry Potter Lord of the Rings and Starwars are the same things. He says yes in this video.

Q: Were Red Four and Red Eight present at the Battle of Yavin?

SkoobaAt the climax of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, Red Squadron is the group of X-wing pilots part of the attack on the Death Star. At the start of the attack the pilots report their status: Red Leader: All wings report in. Red Ten: Red Ten standing by. Red Seven: Red Seven standing by. Biggs ...

@Spencer I'm imagining the pokemon showing up as cardboard standees.
@AncientSwordRage I don't know; anyone who paints with such a broad brush is unlikely to have much truck with, you know, subtlety and detail. It's just such a ridiculous statement I think all we could do is sit around and agree that we think it's wrong...
I gave up on HP after 3 books, but I can at least distinguish Frodo from Luke!
Frodo: reluctant, suffering hero who absolutely must not directly confront Sauron, who falls to temptation at the end, is only saved because Eru set up a Batman Gambit, and, permanently wounded, seeks solace in exile.
Luke: seeks out the call, jumps into danger, fights the Big Bad face-to-face (and wins because he refuses to fall), redeems his father, goes on to a celebrated life...
16:48
If you're going to paint the stories as "hero struggles, hero wins," then okay, they're the same. But at that point almost 50% of all stories fit; you might as well say that Lord of the Rings is the same as Great Expectations. (Hey, Pip travels to Egypt, right? That's almost like Mordor.)
@DavidW At least at one point though, Obi-Wan doesn't want Luke to face Darth because he knows he's not ready
HP is definitely different in that Dumbledore ends up with him wanting Harry to face down voldemort
17:17
@DavidW Also Frodo is pretty excited for adventure, it's Bilbo who's reluctant isn't he?
17:50
@AncientSwordRage You're right about leaving the Shire, but I think by the time they're leaving Rivendell that Frodo's a lot less gung ho about the whole deal. Whereas Luke is still hopping into his ship and dashing off willy-nilly half way through Ep. 5.
@DavidW true that

Q: How would Monsterverse play out if Jia(Godzilla vs. Kong) and The Iwi were gigantic as Kong and other titans?

Myles SeayIn the 1970s, William Randa and Monarch discovered something bigger than Kong himself, The Iwi Tribe about the size of a mountain. How would the Monsterverse timeline play out and how big Jia would be if she was the size of Kong and Godzilla themselves? Bonus question: Would Ilene Andrews still a...

Q: Young adult/teen fiction about a kid that is somehow transported into various numbered worlds

Lace RI read this book in the early 2000s. I remember the kid being in a field of wildflowers with a white gazebo that either faded into the air or into water. They were then transported to different numbered worlds. In one of the worlds she meets a man that wears a bunch of hats. I want to say he look...

Q: Children's Book, Characters Made of Vegetables

Gemma SinclairMy sister and I had a book when we were children. The artwork was quite grown up and quite creepy for a children's book. The characters were made up of realistic vegetablesand the colour scheme was quite muted. I remember one picture where a character was underground and was able to listen above ...

@Spencer He ends up finally in a position to propose to the woman he's been pining for his whole life; that counts as a "win" for the Victorian era.
I'm not actually trying to claim it's in any way like LotR though; it was hyperbole.

Q: ISO scifi book about space traveler that crashes on planet and befriends cat-like telepath

John DollarI read this around 25 years ago (mid to late 1990s). I got it from the school library. It was maybe around 200-300 pages and not a large book. I read it when I was young, so I don't remember everything. What I do know is: The traveler (maybe pilot) was a man. He crashed on a planet and befriended...

Q: 90s or 2000s anime with a white, human-sized mech suit

JC Torres The pilot would be in danger the more he piloted the mech suit. The pilot was male. I believe it had a space setting. It was probably also on Cartoon Network / Toonami.

@Marvin Yeah! And why didn't we have a ten minute scene in Deep Impact discussing how they were going to keep drilling mud fluid in a super-cold, low-g, vacuum?!! The movies would have been better with these scenes!!!
