I’m looking for a short story about bird-like aliens who land on Earth. The human race have died in a battle with other aliens, and we had no choice but to destroy our sun. At the end of the story it becomes clear the the aliens are some kind of birds, when you read the story you think it is abo...

In "A Taste of Armageddon," Kirk and company find that the Eminians are in a sort of "computer" war with the Vendikans. In the episode, Eminian weapons are displayed and used, but, unlike a Federation phaser, do not produce a visual stream of energy when fired. The energy, or whatever it uses, i...

In the alternate history steampunk world depicted in April and the Extraordinary World the (Second?) French Empire is more powerful and longer lasting than the one depicted in the non-fictional timeline. This is apparently largely due to the French Empire avoiding a conflict with Prussia as a si...

1980's cartoon version. That is all.

One of the characters wants to be a ligtspeed pilot. This is an elite group that only a very few have the right physical and mental qualities. The story is about that character's obsession. Another character has a crystal globe with a self contained ecosystem.

In Star Trek TOS S1:E27 Errand of Mercy we see the Organians end the (a?) Klingon/Federation war. In Star Trek Discovery S1:E1 The Vulcan Hello - we see the start of the (a?) Klingon/Federation war. My question is: Is the Klingon War in Discovery the same Klingon war as that in TOS?

I'm trying to find a short film, that I saw twice on American public television in the late 1980s or early 1990s. It was used as a filler/bumper on a PBS station to fill up the remaining fifteen minutes after they broadcast a forty-five-minute British program. It was about a day in the life of ...

I'm trying to find the picture and from what episode but in the Legend Of Korra I believe Jinora was in the airbending temple and she comes across another Avatar. It displays an Avatar with black and white spirits going back and forth. I guess my question becomes what basis does this have? Is ...

Read this book in the 80s as a kid. All I remember is that it was sci fi, spaceships were in several settings, the twins were a boy and a girl, and they were psychic.

Probably mid to late 20th century story. I believe the title is something like "Farewell Ilya" or "Goodbye..." The alien tells the story. Actually, perhaps the astronauts are the aliens, since I think it takes place on another planet. I think the narrator is injured, or somehow gets "taken in" ...

I remember reading a book with a title who seemed like it was from the 80s or 90s like "Steel Justice" or "Metal Justice." If my memory's still right, the cover of the book is blue and probably shows a cyborg hand or arm. Within the story, the main character gets attacked by a cyborg and has his...

In Harry Potter and HBP Professor Slughorn says that "Now, I must give you warning that Felix Felicis is a banned substance in organized competitions . . . sporting events, for instance, examinations, or elections." This seems logical as it would give the person an unfair advantage. My qu...

I watched this movie way back when. It was on a channel called Animax as a sci-fi marathon. This is what i roughly remember: It's about this AI boy who has the memories/consciousness of a boy that passed away. The boys parents put his consciousness in the AI so that they can have their son back. ...

I'm not sure if they're just the same. I can remember Harry saying in a movie: Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer of all time. And I have read somewhere that wizards and witches stand on the same level. Wizards are sometimes used to describe "boys and girls" or "mankind" while witches are only f...

I am trying to find a sci-fi novel I read briefly when I was young and waiting in line at a Goodwill. The main subject was about a soldier in power armor fighting a race of lizard like aliens and in the first chapter a soldier near him died after a lizard alien got inside his power armor and ate ...

On Agents of SHIELD Season 5 the Earth is shattered but somehow still holds lakes or oceans and plant life and still has an atmosphere. Is this scientifically or theoretically plausible/possible and if so how?

On Agents of SHIELD Season 5 the Earth is shattered almost complexity. I am asking if a seismic event could shatter a planet and if so how powerful would the Earthquake have to be to shatter the Earth? on the show they said it was a 12.0 this and appears to come from a central location on the pl...

(excuse all the spoiler tags - don't want to ruin anything for the people who are waiting for the show to appear somewhere other than CBS All Access) Episode 11 confirms a fan theory that In Episode 6, Captain Lorca explained that he did research on Lieutenant Tyler before asking him question...

I was discussing this with a friend...Are there any books which feature a main character (or even a secondary) whose gender is not known throughout the book or is deliberately kept vague ?

The country of Equestria in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic seems to be a dual monarchy (or, if you want to be strict with language, a principality) ruled by Princesses Celestia and Luna (with a period of sole rule by Celestia during Luna's exile). Does Equestria have meaningful elections of...

In Goblet of Fire Voldemort talks of how he detests his Muggle father. "You see that house upon the hillside, Potter? My father lived there. My mother, a witch who lived here in this village, fell in love with him. But he abandoned her when she told him what she was...he didn't like magic, my...

I've been watching the later seasons of the show, and in some shots of the ship's model it looks like a section has merged with a meteor or some sort of rock. Was Red Dwarf, at some point in its history, struck by an asteroid that lodged in its hull?

In the opening 4th wall breaking quote of "Deadpool" film, Deadpool tells the audience: I know right? You're probably thinking, "Whose balls did I have to fondle to get my very own movie"? I can't tell you his name, but it rhymes with "Polverine." I know the usual explanation is that it's m...

This is my first time posting here so please point out any etiquette mistakes I make :) I am looking for help finding a trilogy I read some time ago. I can't seem to remember enough search terms to be able to locate it, though I hope someone on this site might be able to help. What I remember:...
