In Stargate SG-1 or Atlantis does the Daedalus class starships carry shuttle craft? I know they have transporter rings and Asgard transporters like in Star Trek, but even the Federation ships had shuttle craft. In Stargate Atlantis they use puddle jumpers granted they are not on a starship but se...

Say that I want to become an Animagus. I study a whole bunch and manage to perfect the technique. Do I get to pick which animal I wind up as? Or is it something where I just find out what I turn into (and if I don't like it, tough luck)?

The Hobbit deals with the Dwarves trying to reclaim their mountain homeland from the dragon Smaug. During this time, are there other dragons who are alive in Middle Earth?

In Justice League, a number of heroes band together and decide that they need Superman. Only problem is that he's dead (after the events of Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice). It's clearly been a while since his death, leaving time for Ma Kent to sell the house and Lois Lane to take a leave ...

In Justice League (2017), Steppenwolf arrives and departs several times via a giant beam of light that shoots up into the sky. Where does he go when this happens? What is on the other end of this? Does he go to another dimension? I'm especially interested in this given that in the ending

A long time ago I read a short story in school about a device that disintegrates or destroys weapons. Having trouble remembering too many details, but I do remember it had something to do with the military, and at the end one of the characters shouts out something like "Grab anything- sticks, sto...

This ppb was probably ca. 1970. The well-off don't want their apple-cart upset by alien tech. Hero saves "Polly Ling" from alien monster which turns out to be her husband- she's an alien.

In "Amok Time" Spock begins the pon-farr and requests the Enterprise to divert from their course to Vulcan to drop him off for the "marriage ceremony". Why couldn't he just take a shuttlecraft alone while the Enterprise continued to their destination? This kind of situation would occur a lot in ...

I have been reading this web novel for a week and finished reading the published chapters but i don't know when the next chapter will be released. Can anyone help me??? P.S. this web novel is considered fantasy so it is not off topic (i guess :) :) )

Stark children can warg into their direwolves. When did they first warg? I am wondering if they could warg into other animals before they found the direwolf pups, or if they must reach a certain age before acquiring the ability.

Between Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark, who has the highest net worth of the two? I pose this question in regard to their comic history only. No other media. So, who wins?

I'm just saying. 'Do androids dream of electronic sheep?' vs 'Blade Runner' 'We Can Remember It for You Wholesale' or 'Total Recall' this guy writes great stuff but picks horrible titles.

At the end of episode 3, Senator Bail Organa brings a baby girl back to his home planet Alderaan. He and his wife, Breha, adopt the girl and raise her in the royal family. He even kept the baby's birth name, Leia. This other question asks if Bail Organa told his...

I remember seeing a TV movie (probably in the late 80s early 90s) that ended with a man climbing into a coffin with money, the coffin closes and rolls outside and buries itself. Anyone know the name ?

In the original Star Wars triology, the story focuses around the rebel fighter squadrons, such as Red, Blue and Gold squadrons, but Imperial star-fighter squadrons are never mentioned, better yet any elite squadrons like Red squadron in the rebel alliance. My question: What Imperial starship squa...

A library patron is trying to identify a short story collection she bought in the late 1980s - mid 1990s. Some of the stories she remembers: A candlemaker who at first hoards his candles but then learns to share A pagan stoneworker superstitious about working on a Christian statue. He gouges th...

When I first read Exiles at the Well of Souls, it seemed to be the worst-edited novel I had ever picked up. And indeed the editing is terrible, but I later learned that there was something of a reason why. Apparently, Jack Chalker originally wrote a single-book sequel to his most famous work, M...
