While a number of longtime fans were miffed about Star Trek: Discovery introducing an adopted sister he never mentioned, this isn't the first time he's had a sibling he never told people about. McCoy: Let me get this straight. You and Sybok have the same father but different mothers. Spo...

I'm sure I read this in an anthology collecting science fiction stories from various authors. English language. I don't remember the common theme (if there really was one). I think I checked this book out from a library back around the late 1990s (but it may have been after the turn of the centur...

I'd like to make a disclaimer that I remember very little about this book or when I read it, so it'll probably be difficult to figure out what it is, but it's bothered me on occasion for a few years. I want to say that it's from the 90's, but it could be later or much earlier than that. I really...

In the movie Valerian and the City of Thousand Planets, when Valerian and Laureline first approach Alpha Alex (the ship) indicates that Alpha has traveled 700 million miles after having left Terrestrial orbit. This seems like a very short distance in 400 years (i.e. somewhere between Jupiter and ...

Do the Borg exist in the mirror Universe? and if so have they encountered the Empire or Alliance? and have the Prime Borg Ever crossed into the Mirror Universe? OR how is it that the Borg could be unaware of Alternate Universes that they could invade with ease or at the least ally themselves wi...

I was reminded of this when I ran into the Ranger's Apprentice series while researching another book. It was a fantasy book, I think, that I read in early college, around 1999, in English, maybe as a paperback. The main character winds up as the apprentice to a forest ranger of some flavor. At so...

Near the beginning of The Last Jedi, the Resistance jumps into hyperspace to get away from the First Order. It seems reasonable to assume they jumped to a random, unpredictable location in deep space to lose the First Order and regroup. There seems to be no plan for further action at this point. ...

In (TOS) "The Tholian Web" the USS Defiant (NCC-1764) got pulled into another dimension that we later find out in (Enterprise) “In a Mirror, Darkly” is the Mirror Universe about 100 years in the past of (TOS) and is subsequently captured By the Terran Empire. In (Discovery) "Despite Yourself" ...

Looking for a name of the movie where enemy stole (didn't remember exactly) mojo from other persons. It was Sci-fi action comedy movie. I have its one footage. In this footage, enemy is one with bald head.

Is the movie Bright based on a book? Wikipedia didn't mention one, so probably not, but I'd like to be sure. And in addition: Is there any similar books?

Husband prepares car with essentials for nuclear meltdown in local facility in USA and need for fast get away. Neighbour borrows wheel jack. Husband has spare so he isn't left without one. Family rush off when meltdown starts. Wife fiddles around delaying the need to leave urgently and wants to d...

I read a book series back in the early 90’s where the main character came from a tribe or something of renowned sword fighters. I think he ends up being the last. The big thing I remember is he ends up crippled. Can’t use his legs. He ends up fighting from horse back. I seem to recall it being a ...

In this answer the explanation is given that Viserion is the one that died in Season 7, based on the colour of the dragon: "It may be as you say, blood of my blood," Dany replied gravely, "but he shall have a new name for this new life. I would name them all for those the gods have taken. The...

A research scientist on a newly discovered planet inhabited by only animals and strange large plants discovers aliens have landed on the forest world. She hides out among the plants and sabotages the aliens’ plan for an invasion of the Earth.

Given Star Trek is all about positive outcomes against all odds, why was Vulcan destroyed as a plot line? The Enterprise (Federation) usually always saves worlds against all the odds, even if there are very great losses along the way. Surely the loss of Vulcan must be viewed as a failure. I fe...

Throughout the HBO show we see a variety of weddings and wedding ceremonies. My question concerns Robb Stark's wedding to Talisa Maegyr. In the show we see that they are secretly married and say the vows of the Faith of the Seven. Shouldn't Robb have been married under the sight of the Old Gods a...

One of the well-known move of a speedster is phasing through solid materials. As mentioned here, Phasing is a term used to describe the ability of some characters to move through solid objects. And one of the Flash's key ability is Phasing (here) described as: The Flash has always poss...

During the Federation-Dominion war, we see Jadzia being very engaged in the conflict. She is also taking up new roles, e.g. acting as helmsman of the Jem'Hadar attack ship. Was she still technically a science officer? Why didn't she wear an operations or command uniform? I mean I get it with Bas...

I'm trying to remember the name of a (children's?) sci-fi novel I read as a child in the 1980s. It was about tiny coloured gemstones that fell from the sky all over a city. Two/three young friends collected some up, then discovered the gemstones were intelligent. The gemstones would connect toge...

A long time ago I read a short story about a soldier posting guard on a far away planet and remembering when the war started, the way that the aliens didn't try to talk with them and they just attacked them. The soldier sees an alien and kills it and the way it describes the alien makes you under...

In the previous two Star Trek movies, everyone’s favorite astromech(just barely edging out Skippy, the Jedi droid), makes a cameo as random junk. Did he manage to sneak about another Federation ship in Beyond?

I read a short story at least 18 years ago for an extra credit grade in a physical science class. I'm pretty sure it started with some future person finding a journal of a scientist detailing the demise of civilization due to the second ice age. In it the scientist recounts how they invented some...

There are lots of varied structures in Star Wars - some are made of metal, some from concrete, some adobe, etc. But there seems to be a distinct lack of bricks. Were bricks ever invented in the Star Wars universe? If so, are there any examples of them being used?

A girl wasn't normal in her time considered this book was placed in an old time period. I remember she discovered why everyone kept getting sick and it was because the maid who cooked the food didn't wash her hands properly and prepared the food. She also started to grow feelings for her "boss" i...

This was a short story in a vampire anthology? The vampire protects the last remaining humans from being killed and drained by other vampires. he knows that letting the other vampires kill the humans would doom the rest of the vampires to unending hunger.

As is often the case, I can recall only some details about the book, not the main plot itself. There were several sets of children on Earth in the near future, separated from their parents for a long time. The parents had jobs in space/another planet. The children wanted to see them. They bu...

Do we know exactly by whom and when, where the main roads built? By main roads, I mean named roads, that show on maps such as Kingsroad, Roseroad, Ocean road... I know the Kingsroad was built by King Jaehaerys, and Roseroad is also probably Targaryen era, as it connects King's Landing, and the "R...
