Q: Would Blade / vampires / undead survive Thanos’ snap?

J. DoeThanos’ snap with the full power of the infinity stones was supposed to wipe out half of all life. Vampires, however are generally considered “undead.” Would this give supernatural characters who could be considered “undead” an advantage in that technically they are not part of the “all life” b...

Q: What is the first "stuck in a game" type story?

Anthony XIn the first season episode of Lost in Space (1965) "Return from Outer Space", Will is teleported to Earth, ending up in a town in Vermont. It has a feel very like Bedford Falls in "It's a Wonderful Life" - very 1930s when Will didn't travel through time (should be 1997, 32 years into the future ...

Q: Why did no Y-wing fighters take part in the Battle of Hoth?

Michael WashburnDuring the counterattack on the Imperial walkers, Luke observes, "That armor's too strong for blasters."
