Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Good guess with Star Trek 3 as it is by the same composer. James Horner is just so obvious
I believe it is the theme tune to Cocoon.
I swear if you listen to the themes from Star Trek 2 and Krull they are nearly identical.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
That would be Outland, 1981, I believe.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Polydichloric euthimal also featured in Terminator 2, where it was used as an explosive.
I'll be back soon with a new question.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Apologies for the delay.
A psychologist is hired by corporate interests to investigate a town in a valley where marketing seems totally ineffective. Outside businesses are allowed in, but wither quickly for lack of business. The townsfolk aren't hostile, they just won't shop there, appearing maddeningly self-satisfied with their quaint, local lifestyle.
Name of the Novel and Author please.

Is it "The Santaroga Barrier" by Frank Herbert?

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Indeed it is, and very well deduced from my meagre clue.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Ok, here is the next question:
Rick Deckard, a bounty hunter, uses a certain device do identify the androids he hunts down. What is the name of the device and the name of the novel? The novel, NOT the movie!

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
OK: name the rare raw elemental material of shaving cream, found only on the mysterious Planet X (located between Planet W and Planet Y) ...
Re: Science Fiction Trivia
That would be Illudium Phosdex (or however you spell it) - as hunted for by Bugs Bunny and also by my former avatar, Marvin the Martian. And also by Duck Dodgers (in the 24th and a half century!).
