    Btw, I live on the opposite timezone, so if I reply slower (many hours apart) it's because of that massive time difference in the land down under

    One thing I noticed about older sci-fi stories and anime: Why did they often call planet Earth 'Terra', but modern sci-fi is moving away from the Terra word and just calling it Earth again?

    Terra is latin for earth, ground, etc. The Roman Goddess of the Earth is also Terra (the Greek equivalent, Gaia). As to why they're going away from it - no idea.

    'Terran' is the word often used to describe an Earthling in older sci-fi.

    Maybe the people who make these shows are moving away from 'Terra' because they think that no-one will know what 'Terra' means? *shrug* No idea otherwise.

    Yes, that word 'terra' was everywhere in late 00's, especially in older media.

    What happens when a being transcends 3 dimensions? Need it for a storyline plot

    Hmm, missed this. The 4th dimension is time, so the being in question can manipulate time. How? That's up to you, I guess! :)

    So when I was in late 00's light blue eyes were thought to be 'angelic', why did that idealism fade out in modern times? It's just something I noticed over time, xD

    Ah, it was a late 00's trope, don't worry about it! xD

    I have blond hair and, not light blue, but blue eyes, and I am far from angelic... *devil smiley*

    Did not know that was a trope. Why was it considered angelic?

    I've always thought grey or silver irises are very cool and nice.

    It was considered naive, really... malleable. That's why it was desirable. The dumb blond thing. It was annoying as hell (said as blond with blue eyes). I actually dyed mine red for the majority of my life just to get away from it lol.
