I read this nearly 20 years ago in audio and only remember bits and pieces. In the forward, the author talks about recently breaking his hip. The book follows two sisters who go to some sort of survivalist camp that is secretly? run by aliens? or something and learn that the magnetic poles are ...

This is a show/ TV movie I saw in the early 2000s and may have just been an episode of a larger show. For all i know, it may be famous. I only remember a few scenes and that it was quite similar to Alien. The crew starts off doing their routine until they get a call from a beacon and are instruc...

So I'm not a big time anime fan but I'll watch it occasionally but I remember trying to watch this one anime about 20 years ago when I was a kid. I thought it was Neon Genesis Evangelion but I'm pretty sure thats not it. The anime board threw a wild guess of it being Megami Kouhosei (aka Candida...

Good evening, I am trying to recall a book I read quite a while back. The book revolved around people that no longer faced death I believe as, of I remember correctly, one of the main characters was well over one hundred years old. There was no longer a need for people to work so instead people ...

Can a wizard or witch recognize a Maledictus? What about a Parselmouth? Can they, without asking the serpent, recognize if it once had human form?

I read this novel about 20 years ago, and I'd like to identify it. In the not so distant future, Earth society is collapsing due to rampant violence, crime, sociopathy and so on (the problems are purely sociological: there are no pandemics or nuclear wars or climate changes). At the beginning o...

I mean, Batman's Batsuit has his underwear on the outside, but why didn't he give Robin some pants for his costume?

In Terminator, which entity came first? Kyle Reese or John Connor?

Read it years ago, so I don't remember much. I just remember that: There were big bad trees that appear (coming from another world?) and kind of curse the territory, making sort of demons appears as well. There also were humans realms, including a king (or sth) that was not that good, and live...

We see dinosaurs in SFF world all the time. e.g. Jurassic Park, Terra Nova, Doctor Who, Journey to the Center of the Earth etc. After the discovery of Dinosaurs, which SFF work was first to use it?

The episode order of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, season 3 in particular, is a convoluted mess. No two sources seem to give the same one, so I'm not sure which to believe. I understand that Miraculous episodes are released to different countries on different dates and, for some ...

Basic plot is a galactic war between two factions, but that's backstory not the focus. The protagonist's side is human, I don't recall the enemy as they weren't really the focus of the story as I remember it. They might have been human as well. The story starts with the protagonist having alread...

I'm trying to track down a science fiction novel that features a Christian protagonist, perhaps similar to Han Solo, who pilots a ship on the space lanes while reading the Gospel. I'm sure I came across this book years ago but can't recall the title or author.

There is a very common joke in time-travelling stories. One person asks "Where are we?" and the other responds, "When are we?". What is the earliest instance of this joke being made? I am specifically excluding literal "when are we?"'s without the context of the joke.

In Stargate SG1, S1E8, the Nox have mysterious powers like making things disappear and reviving people. They do not seem to wear any tech in order to vanish. Furthermore, it is clearly visible that they are not using tech to revive Lya: They simply hold their hands above her and revive her. Al...

Note: This question is from out-of-universe perspective. And, I am looking for official answer. In the end, after the wheel was broken, Lords of Westeros were looking for an alternate system of governance. Tarly even suggested to apply democracy to Westeros, but other Lords laughed at it. Why d...

In Iron Man Obadiah steals Tony's arc reactor which leaves him with the Mark 1 chestpiece (which he puts in his body so he can survive). If he only has one arc reactor, and he's using it in his body, how does he manage to use his Mark III suit?

There are 2 Seers in Harry Potter with the name Cassandra: Cassandra Vablatsky - author of “Unfogging the Future” Cassandra Trelawney - ancestor of Professor Sybill Trelawney. Trelawney can hardly be the latter Cassandra’s maiden name, since the Hogwarts Professor has that surname. It even sa...

Many large franchises have multiple tags and hyphenated tags. If I want to define the scope of my topic as one subset of the franchise, do I use tags or another method? Example: Assume my question is limited to everything Star Wars except the Star Wars Anthology films. I am required to include t...

I remember reading this novel back in High School in the late 90s, possible early 00s. The novel in paperback form was quite substantial, must have been at least 600 pages long. The main character was a middle aged (I think) man. The world was living a medieval-esque way of life. I imagine the...

I can't think of anything similar in the franchises beyond "bad guys wear black." There was no supernatural power (that I recall), no elite superheroes. Heck, there was no hyperdrive! Does anyone know what George Lucas thought was stolen from Star Wars?

I am looking for a book that I would have read about 17 years ago(not sure how old it was by that point). The book begins with the main character being some sort of farmer or tradesman who is very strong. His dad is sick and he is bringing him to a hospital but when he arrives he kills someone o...

In Star Trek:Voyager - Death Wish Quinn tries to hide himself and Voyager from Q. One hiding place he tried was to turn Voyager into a Christmas ornament hanging on a tree. Were they on Earth at that time, and if so why would Quinn bring them all the way back to the Delta quadrant when he undid ...
