I am not sure, but although i find the thought of immortality interesting, i can not imagine it. It would be interesting to see the remote future, when i am watching some movies where we can see the future i always think if this vision could become the reality one day. But i would not want to outlive my family, my friends and all people who i like, so i would not desire after that very much probably.
And the Doubar's question about aliens gave the idea for the next question. Would you want to become an explorer of the universe? Would you want to fly in the space shuttle and explore unfamiliar parts of the galaxy?

I have to admit that the idea of being an explorer of the universe has a certain appeal. Provided I could have time to spend on Earth at regular intervals with my family, I might just go for it!
What would you do if you woke up in a dungeon, with no memory of how you got there?

Oh, that's a tough one. What would I do? First thing I guess is find out whether I'm alone there, and whether there's any danger to be aware of. If possible I would ask what happened and then... yeah, then take it from there.
What would you do if you found out you can read people's minds?

Oh, an interesting question. It sounds interestingly on one hand (you would always know what somebody thinks about you and similar things) but it would probably have more negative aspects after some time. So, I guess that the first reaction would be exciting but everyone would start going crazy from this ability very quickly. You could read something unpleasant or embarrassing from minds of people more than nice things, because ugly things are hidden inside of our minds more than the positive things which we mention loudly much more often.
For my question I got the inspiration from one my favourite movie series. If you had a vision that something bad happens on the place where you are right know (some horrible accident for example), would you try to do something for your rescue or the rescue of next people there, or would you ignore it as a figment of your wild imagination, a bad dream or something like that?

Oh, now that's a good one, too!
And thinking about it... I guess that would depend on the nature of the vision. If it was about some big car crash or something else that I don't see how I could have an influence on it anyway, I would probably write it off as something like a daydream or whatever. If however it were about something that happens at home or because of a mistake I made or anything, I'd surely play it safe and try and avoid that - even if it was truly only a dream.
Actually, now that I have written that down I'm not sure if my answer even makes any sense but maybe you get the gist of it. x)
.
What would you do if you had the chance to find out what future generations tell about you/whether they still know your name at all? Would you want to know or rather live blissfully unaware of what you will become?

I wouldn't want to know. Assuming some records of my life could be found in this digital age, I would know what I had done with my life and that would mean in my actual life there would be no room to pursue new dreams because I'd already know and all there's left to do is go through the motions... Plus, what if it's bad news? I don't want to live with doom hanging over my head! I would like a message from the future saying: 'it's going to be alright.'
In the same vain. Would you consult the Machine of Death? The Machine of Death tells you the way you are going to die, not when, using one to six words. But it is very cryptic. 'Old Age' could mean you die of your own old age, or for example by getting hit by a car by a person who can't see very well due to old age.

Oh no, definitely not! Because while I'm not really scared of dying itself, I'm scared of the way in which you die. I don't want to suffer leaving this world so whatever that machine revealed would most likely unnerve me (because how many are really blessed to die while sleeping and not even noticing their bodies are giving up? Chances are rather slim that the machine would tell something reassuring). Plus, as you said, the answer would be cryptic anyway - meaning you'd still not be any wiser after consulting it. So: nope, would not even get near that Machine!
Now for a less philosophical question: Even though I fear that has been asked before (actually I can't imagine we haven't already asked that but oh well) - if there was the chance that PBO or whatever great channels there are in America made a reboot of AoS, would you support it and be happy about it? Mind you, there'd be new actors, maybe a new athmosphere to things and possible changes to the story. BUT the characters would stay the same and Maeve and Sinbad might just stay together unless the new actress leaves as well.

A good question. It would depend on the circumstances, but i am so much used to these actors and their portrayals of these characters that would be hard to get used to new actors in the same roles. If there were these known characters, i would try it at least. I think that all characters except of Sinbad were created only for this concrete tv series and i have not heard about any of them in a different story about Sinbad. I could be interesting to see some new actors in these roles, but i would make some comparisons constantly. And i am quite sure that i would not have such a strong bond towards a new version of this tv series. This version is a big part of my childhood and it never changes.
For next question, i use the plot from one of my favourite episodes of Sinbad. What would you see if you would be forced to face our biggest fear (as our heroes in the Trickster?)

I honestly have no idea what I would encounter if forced to face my biggest fear. When I was little, I used to be TERRIFIED of fire, but I got over that (in fact, I'm kinda the opposite now xD). I'm uncomfortable with crowds and dealing face to face with people, but that's not really a "biggest fear" sort of thing. I'm not really sure... I suppose we never know for sure what we truly fear the most until faced with it.
What would you do if you found a giraffe in your back yard?
(Time for something more light-hearted xD)

If I found a giraffe in my backyard I would first celebrate suddenly having a backyard  I imagine the giraffe would stand in my downstairs neighbour's yard so my balcony would be well placed to feed it! I would laugh and call my neighbour and we'd feed the giraffe some bread and then call the local zoo. In the same lighthearted vein: what would you do if you could suddenly do magic? |
