One of the locations in the forest around Winden is a railway track in the forest. It runs through a slight depression and under an overpass, and must be in the vicinity of the cave entrance. The (single-direction) track is featured repeatedly as a meeting place of the youths in 2019. At that ti...

So, I personally have not read the books, or played the games. I was aware of the series and the setting, but that's about it. After watching the series through several times now however, there were some things that seemed to far out of place, like the fight scene between Vilgefortz and Cahir, f...

Within MCU canon, what was Yondu's motivation to travel to Earth, only abduct Quill, and then raise him as his son? It seemed to me that Yondu and his crew of Ravagers had more rewarding things to do if they were going to travel all the way to Earth, and had more rewarding uses for Quill than ma...

Among the various Lantern Corps, the Indigo Tribe wields the indigo light of compassion. Far from all of them being do-gooders, it was revealed some years ago that members of the Tribe were all notoriously criminals, and that the Indigo Lantern ring was forced onto them to make them feel compassi...

In How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019), I didn't understand the scene where all the dragons left Hiccup's team right after Grimmel kidnapped Night Fury & Toothless. Why did they do so?

In PIC:1x04 "Absolute Candor" - we see Picard challenged to a sword fight by Romulans on the planet Vashti. In the episode we see Picard tear off a sign, 'Romulans Only' and stomp on it, to challenge their tribalism. In that sense he picks the fight. The Romulans talk of their prior knowledge o...

“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to...

We know of three Soong-type Androids, B4, Data and Lore. It is possible there were others. We know in Picard 1x01 Remembrance - that the type of Synth that Dahj and Soji are, are created in pairs. Jurati says it would be possible to create a female android from Data's positronic neuron, us...

I am pretty sure this was a short story in a collection of sci-fi stories. It was written from the perspective of one of the people whose job was hunting down and killing people that grew too old, after he himself reached that age. IIRC, he is hunted by his own protege. I think that there was ...

In the TOS episode: The Tholian Web, the tholian Loskene has only its head visible, and it looks as they are unlike any humanoid we've ever seen before. However, in the enterprise episode: In A Mirror, Darkly they have legs and arms and are somewhat like other insectoid humanoids so, my question ...

It would be difficult not to notice the occurrence of the Second Wizarding War since it broke out by the fall of the Ministry of Magic (MoM) in the UK. Additionally, Voldemort's rise to power was compared to that of Grindelwald's that affected the wizarding community across the globe. So I'd assu...

Voldermort's plans all seemed to be focused on the wizarding world in the UK, mainly on trying to deal with Harry Potter and gain freedom. Did Voldermort have ambitions beyond controlling the UK? If he had been successful at taking out Harry and taking over Hogwarts would he then have turned hi...

In The Lord of the Rings Tolkien writes that 7 Dwarves were given rings. I know that Tolkien took a lot of inspiration from different sources including ancient fables and stories, tales of the Pagan religions and other places when forming the mythos of his stories. Is there any indication that ...

I want to watch the Roughnecks: Starship troopers Chronicles animated series somewhere. I tried to access it by Crackle.com, but this website is not available in my county.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) has a distinctive style in part because of the soundtrack, which in-universe, derives from the "Awesome Music Mix" tape Quill is given by his mother just before Yondu abducts him. The music is obviously important to Quill as a connection to his mother and the world ...

This question applies equally to other colors of the emotional spectrum, but I assume most people are more familiar with the green variety. I'm also aware that in a battle between a Lantern and a Jedi/Sith the outcome will depend greatly on how well the former adjusts their constructs to deal w...

When was the subject of autism first treated in speculative fiction? Some clarification is needed as to the meaning of autism. The word itself dates to 1910, when psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler coined it, but the word was used for “morbid self-admiration” until Hans Asperger redefined it in its moder...
