Question

Please link to your favorite questions and answers which were either asked or answered from April 1st 2015 through June 30th 2015.

Personally, I think my favorite question to answer was:

Could the Earth-2149 Squirrel Girl destroy Colonel America's shield?

Obviously it doesn't have to be something you asked or answered. If you found someone else's question or answer amazing. Let me know.

These will of course go into a blog post summary. http://scifi.blogoverflow.com/category/qotw/

At this point, I am just trying to be able to submit the post without it saying this is a duplicate.

Answer 1

I quite liked this question from new user kviiri. Short, succinct and surprisingly answerable

• What did Godric Gryffindor have a sword for, anyway?

In terms of answers, I was especially proud of the one below. I spent a lot of time playing with the custom map and finally decided to make a video to demonstrate what I was talking about. The fact that it didn't get many upvotes or an acceptance didn't even bother me (that much). A good answer is its own reward :-)

• In the Movie Gravity, where does Sandra Bullock's character end up?

@SS's demands seemed quite unreasonable at first glance, but with a bit of work, this question was actually pretty fun to answer:

• How many people know that Harry owns an Invisibility Cloak?

Answer 2

I really enjoyed @Richard's answer to my question

• Why does Han Solo's carbonite slab have a vital signs panel on the edge?

It is succinct and answers every part of the question, and the chosen illustration is perfect. It also introduced me to a book that I was not aware of...I have lost hours to it now, for better or worse.

@JasonBaker's answer to

• In The Avengers, how is it possible that the Hulk can overpower the god Loki?

is brilliant.

Last but not least, I very much enjoyed @JasonBaker's thorough answer to

• How do we reach Ultima?,

even though it wasn't the answer I wanted to hear!

Answer 3

My favorite questions were:

• Praxis' Nacelles: if two are better than one, then why are three not better than two?

and

• Richard's Why is Max Mad?

My favorite answers were:

• Richard's response to 'Why does the Batmobile have a “NO STEP” sign?' (and if comments count, Boelabaal's comment for that question)
• Richard's response to What is the benefit of a hover-car over a standard ground-car?

Answer 4

My favourite answer

Nika G. posted an excellent answer to Why would Arya join the Faceless Men?

• She wants revenge. She's hungry for the blood.
  • Well researched
  • Excellent analysis of how exactly she progressed from The Saltpans (previously known as Whitewalls) to The House of Black and White
  • It tied-in her connection to Jaqen / The Faceless Men
  • Tied-in her want for revenge
  • All backed-up by relevant canon

My favourite question

The Honorable Ned Stark asked about the Origin of the name Azor Ahai

• It's always good to ask the seemingly unanswerable questions
• Made me question the importance of names made up by George R. R. Martin
• Sent me delving into the depths of my favourite canon
• I had a lot of fun trying to find a suitable answer
• Made me learn so much, including that George R. R. Martin is extremely deliberate with his name choices!
• I maaay have earned some extra rep from the bounty offered by @Arm0geddon
