I read a book in the early 2000's (2000-2003) at a high school library about a kid/young adult who traveled back in time to medieval Scotland and it had some kind of knot on the cover. It was more of an adventure/action book and not a romance title. Not 100% sure but it might have been part of a ...

I came upon this movie years ago on late night tv. Here's what I remember: A house. An orange backdrop. A teenaged boy with dark hair and a girl, trying to escape the house. There is a monster inside. The monster is your classic body-horror type - tentacles, malformed, green, mutated. As she tri...

I'm looking for a sci-fi book I read some time ago, where items improve with use in an alternate universe that was discovered in a lab. A scientist goes to this universe not knowing this, and all of his technology improves over time. The people in this world don't have guns, and don't have the wh...

The main character had blonde hair and was in his late teens. I think him and his family were stuck on a different planet that was like a desert. He befriended a girl that was dressed almost like she was in a tribe or something. I think I watched this on the Disney channel in the U.K. back in li...

Why didn't the first evil ever take the form of Willow? She technically died in season 2, episode Halloween. She died and became her costume as a ghost, so the first could have appeared as Willow too. Especially in the first episode of season 7 when it took the form of all the big bads, Warren, G...

I know that a Czech author J.M.Troska had a character write PAX on the Moon with a death ray in his book Captain Nemo I. Nemo's empire (1939). I only know about these books because I got my hands on my dad's old Sci-Fi books so I consider him pretty obscure. But recently somebody mentioned this t...

This series is mostly fantasy fiction, till the end bit. I think I read this story in the mid to late 90's possibly early 2000's There is a man who uses a staff as a focus. He has power of both Water and Air, and using both he can control the weather. There was another, at one time, who contro...

I bought a book from a Meijer grocery store in late 90's early 2000's. It was a sci fi book about a human miner that worked in space blasting up large meteors that were heading towards their space station. The humans worked with a subservient species of aliens who resembled bears (thinking tedd...

In Pratchett's novel Small gods, there is this character, Angus. Because he saves St. Ungulant from the lion attack it is clear that he is not only fictional (as opposed to what we could think when Bruta doesn't see him). The lion leapt… And things would have looked very bad for St. Ungul...

I've been reading answers to questions asking how "Smaug" should be pronounced and I was wondering, is there an authoritative answer to the pronunciation of "Gandalf"? I first read "The Hobbit" when I was eight years old and I instinctively thought the name should be pronounced "Gan-dolf", the "-...

This (disturbing?) image was posted to Reddit with the title What Chewbacca would look like as a shaved man.: This comment claims: this was made by texturing his base model in Battlefront II(2017) with human skin tones-so it is exactly what he would look like under that fur if he had human...

https://screenrant.com/lord-of-the-rings-movies-mistakes/ You know, I was thinking same thing with number 8 based on the link that I provided. Now based from the link, (specifically in number 8) 8. NO ONE TAKES GANDALF’S ‘WALKING STICK’ One of the subplots in Two Towers is Théoden’s posse...

In this scene, Jaime comments that his new Valyrian steel sword looks freshly forged. In the chapter, Catelyn I, from the book, Game of Thrones, we learn that Valyrian swords remain as sharp after 400 years as the day they were first forged. Catelyn had no l...

Per the Wikipedia Entry, Kahless (pronounced: /keɪ̯.lɛs/ [kay-les] or /keɪ̯.lɪs/ [kay-lis]; Klingon pIqaD letters: "qeylIS") is a messianic figure in Klingon history, who unified the Klingon people and became the first Klingon emperor. The Klingons’ most important symbol of leadership, Kahles...

In TNG's "The Chase", Nu'Daq challenges Data to the B'aht Qul and loses. He utters something after this that I cannot find online, except in a transcript that suggests he says "Maw' tok!" A reference clip can be found here, with the utterance at 0:51:

I am looking for a book I read as a young adult. It was from my dad's collection, and not a "young adult" book by any means. The story involves an attack on earth by a distant alien race who fire relativistic projectiles at earth. Earth then launches a ship with a small crew and a powerful AI sys...

I'm looking for either/both a) a book/letter/canon source by Tolkien which explains the history of Durin's rule in significant depth (i.e., with more information than that found in Appendix A(III) in LotR); this can be any of the seven kings named Durin b) a list of all books/letters/canon sour...

I read several of my, now ex-, brother-in-law's scifi books back in the early nineties without really paying too much attention to the titles or authors; just wanted something to read. One keeps coming back up in memories every now and then and I would like to read it again. It wasn't a short st...

I'm trying to track down a book I read sometime during the 80s. It would have been a library book, so might predate the 80s. It could have been grade school or public library. I read it in the US but I believe the setting and language was UK. The protagonist is a young (pre- or early-teen) gi...

In ANH, Luke is shocked by Han's quote for the cost of passage on the Millenium Falcon to Alderaan. Ten thousand? We could buy our own ship for that! What kind of a ship (if any) could have been rationally purchased for 10k on Tatooine at this point in time? Is Luke being facetious, or does...
