Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
I think this would be better-suited for Lost And Found, not Ask the Tropers.
Almost — it's a You Know That Show query. Good luck with finding it!
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
I know strictly speaking I should wait until you ask at You Know That Show, but since I'm here now I'm going to tell you it's Chocky
. (Which is the name of the alien, by the way; the boy's name is Matthew.)
Thanks a lot!!! This has been haunting me for life.... Next time i'll ask in the proper forum.

I might as well ask... I'm trying to remember this show, 80's or early 90's, about a boy who receives telepathic messages from an alien, and his family thinks he's going crazy. All very serious and dark. The only thing I remember are the credits and cuts to commercials: they show the protagonist's head over an eerie landscape, spinning very slowly and fading into an alien's egg or something. The name of the show was the name of the boy, very simple, one word... Ben, or Max, or anything like that...
