I am trying to work out the timeline of the Horus Heresy. I know Lorgar was present at the Triumph at Ullnor, I also know the sanction at Monarchia occured about 43 years before the Horus Heresy and then went on his campaign. However if the Emperor returned to Earth after Ullanor and, as I be...

Which science fiction story first dealt with the question of a computer program governing society?

Do goblins in the Elder Scrolls world ever ride creatures as mounts? If so what creatures do they ride? If there are no instances of goblins riding creatures in the lore are there any examples of them either domesticating, taming or working with any other creatures?

Terrible, I know. I didn't get the title, or the author. I just heard about the magic system. The story contains at least two schools of magic. Spell workings have various rules of grounding before being cast, or else there are wild and unpredictable results. However, these rules are upended...

In The Orville, Lt. Janel Tyler is introduced as a new member of the ship. In 2x04 "Nothing Left on Earth Excepting Fishes", it is revealed that This seems to have a lot of similarity to Star Trek: Discovery and the storyline of Lt. Ash Tyler, in which by 1x11 "The Wolf Inside", it is revealed...

While queuing for the bus to work this morning, I randomly remembered one of the songs my dad subjected me to during my childhood. It was a Star Trek-themed parody of Bohemian Rhapsody, specifically, the opera section in the middle. I would have heard it sometime around 2005, give or take a coupl...

I was playing Conan Exiles on the weekend, then on Wednesday Conan Adventures in an Age undreamt of. In either, there is mentioning of Derketo as a Stygian, Shemite and Black Kingdom goddess. However, research into her showed only her name on the general list of Gods and Demons in Conan and a stu...

Throughout The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings the only real “power” displayed by the One Ring is the fact that when it is worn the wearer becomes invisible. However when it was cut from the finger of Sauron he was fully visible. Has this discrepancy ever been explained?

The question says it all. As I recall, part of the plot concerns replacing semi-intelligent military aircraft with human-piloted military aircraft, with much greater performance realization.

In 2009 I read a book for school, which I'd like to re-read but I cannot remember the title. It was about a boy and a girl in some dystopian world (I think it was told from both of their perspectives and that they weren't together all the time or possibly at all). The world was icecold or frozen...

In Guardians of the Galaxy Peter Quill lands on Morag with some device that let's him (I'm guessing here...) see the past as a hologram. He uses it to find the entry to a building, and finds the Power Stone encased in a metallic orb. He puts down a magnet, which allows the orb to be pulled from...

I remember owning this book in the 90s, I lived in Michigan at the time. The main thing I do recall is that you would turn to different pages to make a choice, and you could collect items along the way. For instance, when fighting the dragon you could perform an action or use your rope to perform...

A long time ago I read a graphic novel about a girl who fell in love with a guy who (I don't remember this correctly) sold some sort of food on the street. I think it may have been soup. He taught her how to skate board and stuff. It was kinda sexy too by the way.

Media: Children's book Year read: 2009-2012 (as a kid in kindergarten to first grade). Written sometime between 2000 and 2012. Tone: Lighthearted, humorous Setting: Earth, alternate universes, other planets. In the universes/planets there were definitely aliens and characters with very strange...

I'm trying to think of one of Batman's bat[vehicle] that could hold multiple people. Most seem to be single-occupant methods of transportation, like the Batcycle and Batmobile. Occasionally, there would be room for a single passenger (namely Robin), like in the Batcopter. Are there any Batman ...

So I read this book in 2004. It started with a female character who had six fingers and she wears gloves that hide that. Earth is xenophobic so she has to hide that she is part alien. She plays some kind of dangerous sport where people die all the time. Later she meets others that are part alien...

We know from this question that it was no more than a few hours between the end of Rogue One and the start of A New Hope but I'm curious how much time elapsed specifically between Cornelius Evazan and Ponda Baba's narrow escape from Jedha and their unfortunate fate in the Mos Eisley cantina. A T...

I read a couple books from this series over ten years ago and it has nagged at me ever since. The books were rather short and had fantasy scenes from the story on the cover. I don’t think it was a widely popular series either. I honestly don’t remember too many details other than: The character...

During Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort tries his best to lure Harry to the ministry so that Harry retrieves the prophecy for him. In the aftermath, while Harry follows Bellatrix towards the exit, he raises a valid question: ”Why couldn’t he (Voldemort) come and get it (the prophecy) himself?...

Coz in Emperor’s New Groove and Emperor’s New School, the little MAN who sings the theme songs is called Theme Song GUY, so shouldn’t Kronk’s female equivalent be called Theme Song GIRL?

A movie that I have seen as a child back in early 90s. The movie starts with a blond lady having a breakfast in the garden, and then she gets annoyed with this bird on the tree, so she would make that bird explode with her mind. Next seen is her brother returning home, and him remembering why h...

If the Tesseract was in Asgard after the avengers (thor took it along with Loki) how come Von Strucker had it at the end of Winter Soldier? Even more in the end of Thor The Dark World they said that they took the Aether to the Collector since they already had the Tesseract in Asgard. And didn’t w...
