Dr Badger thinks that K's little wooden horse is extremely valuable, and yet outside Sapper Morton's house there is an entire tree, which no one remarks on.

I have not read all the books but did any of the space fleet crew come home after the final attack? Mazer Rackham comments about it being the last exercise could be interpreted as these are the only ships left.

Along the lines of this question Looking for the title/ author of a short story about AI pilots The story was in one of the “There will be war” anthologies (much like “Wings out of Shadow”). The plot follows a Navy pilot who launches from his carrier, engages the enemy, and nurses his crippled p...

But the main thing is that this extra planetary creature collects bodies into a ball and the people in the ball all become one creature rolling around, appendages and face parts flowing around on the surface. I recall a farm, a farmer, and his talking dog. I think the creature was from Jupiter bu...

I read this book maybe 15 to 30 years ago and my memory is hazy on this one. I cannot remember the title or author or describe if hard cover or not. A bit of background in the story line: Faster than light travel was discovered and used for many hundreds of years. However the stress on space ...

There are moments in Blade Runner 2049 where Joi (K's holographic girlfriend) seems to act in ways that help the rebellion: But Joi is also a Wallace product and there are moments when one would suspect that Joi is an (unwilling) collaborator: So which is it?

So, in a recent discussion I had there were a few interesting points raised about Wolverine - primarily how contradictory having an adamantium skeleton is. Firstly; blood. Bone marrow is the source of blood generation (basically), so the fact that his skeleton is encased (correct me if I'm wrong...

I recall a book I've read some time ago. It is probably from mid-80s, but not sure on that. The plot of the story about some sphere or field and time slows down when you goes deeper into that thing. And humans decided to build an institute inside that thing to increase the technological ...

I’m looking for a TV show where an alien race comes to earth and sets up big purple/pink cylindrical or cone shaped spaceships in various cities around the world. The Aliens are not hostile but actually created peace and eliminated hunger on earth. I believe the aliens had some human features ...

In harry potter and the order of the Phoenix the order guards the prophecy made by prof trelawney. The prophecy though crucial to the plot doesn't sound like something that could do a lot of wrong in voldemorts hands. So what was the order even guarding the prophecy ?

About maybe 15 years ago, here in Germany (propably existed in other countries, too, but I don't know for sure), there was a Star Wars collection. I don't know how to name it otherwise. It was something where you subscribed to a magazine and got weekly issues with some pages, which you could coll...

In ST: Into Darkness the Enterprise flew straight to Qo'nos without a problem as it seems. How is that possible especially if the Klingons really posed a real threat to the Federation?

In the Thor: Ragnarok movie we see Hela invade Asgard and in a matter of seconds obliterate on her own (this is also seen in the trailer, so it's not a spoiler) the Asgard armies which consist of... around a hundred foot soldiers and half a dozen flying barges... This is quite underwhelming as A...

In Star Trek Discovery S1:E3 - Context is for Kings, we see a prison transport accident. In this we see the death of the pilot of the prison transport. It has been claimed that Lorca probably arranged this accident in order to get Burnham aboard his ship. My question is: If Captain Lorca ar...

Isn't it better to defend at the narrow door (choke point, like in Spartan 300), than to charge out and get surrounded? The orcs could have easily pierced those horses with their spears which will throw them off to the ground and get them killed.

Toward the end of the last book of the Remembrance of Earth's Past series, Death's End, there is (spoiler): The cosmologist in that part recognizes the cubic space through the research of Charles Miser who the cosmologist directly mentions. I've looked into Charles Miser's work a bit and have...

In the late 1980s, I read a novel series that spanned several generations of a human colony on a Earth-like extraterrestrial planet. It was probably available through Scholastic Books (in Canada) since that's where a lot of these novels came from at the time at my elementary school. Almost certa...

In the Sam Raimi-directed film Spider-Man 2, Doctor Octavius creates his iconic harness of mechanical tentacles for the purpose of manipulating and controlling his fusion experiment. In addition to the claws, we see that they contain auxiliary devices/gadgets, which we can clearly see the purpos...

There are several tomes of magic referenced in Dr. Strange, that he utilizes at various points along his journeys. The most notable being: Book of Vishanti Darkhold/Book of Sins Book of Cagliostro Blood Bible Ignoring his substantial inventory of magical artifacts (Eye of Agamotto, etc), what...

Do we have any indication on why Durin "the Deathless" was able to live such a long life? (Sources [1,2] seeming to say that he lived to at least 2,395 years old) Given that it was around ten times longer than a normal Dwarves lifespan surely there must have been some additional influence? [1] ...

At the end of A.I., the Mecha leader tells David that they can clone Monica and also restore her memory from a time-space trail. How's that work? How could they get her memory from this trail and insert it inside a human body?

I happen to live near Bethesda MD and I've looked online to find any clue where Oasis (in Fallout 3) might be and take a visit but I haven't been able to find any solid evidence of the location in real life. It appears to me it could be somewhere north of Germantown, and west of Olney, next to a ...

I'm trying to locate a story I read in my American English textbook when I was in middle school, which would be around 1990. It was about a group of high school sophomores in an honors English class. As their first writing assignment of the year, the new teacher asks each student to write about...

I can't remember the title of a book. I think the title has something to do with a measurement of temperature and a number. Possibly something about kelper?? The plot is about astronauts who go to another planet. They do something to make themselves small (?) Or in some way are able to interac...

I've been wondering about basic information about Rey, but I came upon how lang she's been on Jaku. This might give us he age because she looked to be about 4 when her parents left her.

I remember only one particular scene, probably in the 2000s. But I remember a tiger woman and a snake/serpent woman fighting in a cave and the main characters had to collect some kind of stone or gem and the bad guy was controlling the snake woman, and she betrayed the main characters... in a cav...
