Frasier (1993)
Question: What happened to Julia? They spend time building up a character and then she dated Frasier and they broke up, and in the next episode there is no mention of her leaving the station - no one talked about her?
Chosen answer: TV shows frequently have short-term characters who never appear again. Maybe Julia got another job. Maybe Julia still works at KACL, even if she is never shown or mentioned.
Answer: She became victim to "Chuck Cunningham Syndrome." Which is described as: "when a character in a television mysteriously vanishes from the show. No write-off, no death, not even a passing explanation of what happened to the character."
It's annoying when they introduce the character build it up and then get rid of it with none of the characters mentioning it.

Stargate: Atlantis (2004)
Question: What's with the earth ships lowering or raising shields for beaming and ships to come in and out, and why do they keep changing it all the time?
Answer: Shields are shields, and until Odyssey got the Asgard treatment in Unending, nothing can go through them. No transporting and no docking. After Unending, it is shown in Atlantis that beaming can be done through the shields, but not docking. They never changed this but once. Anything else is just a goof.
Well you do see X302 flying out of the ship during a battle and shields are up, but in Atlantis season 5 episode 1 they lower their shields for puddle jumpers to come on on board. I understand that some ships can pass through Shields and some can't. Ancient ships can go through Atlantis shield. Pegasus Asgard could go through an Atlantis shield until they made modifications to prevent that.
The shields only work in one direction. Things can travel out of the shields, such as the missiles and railgun fire. This includes the F-302s. The puddle jumpers needed to enter the shields, which cannot be done without lowering them.

Star Trek: Voyager (1995)
Parturition - S2-E7
Question: Tom is showing Kes how to pilot a shuttle in the holodeck. Why did they use footage of Jem'Hadar fighters attacking?
Answer: Because it saves on production costs.
Answer: As stated, the practical answer is to save money on effects. The in-world answer is that they could recreate the fighters from sensor records.
Answer: To help her prepare for threats and other obstacles that she may encounter while piloting a shuttlecraft.
My question is why did the show reuse footage from ds9 s3 of Jem'Hadar fighters attacking?

Babylon 5 (1994)
Question: What did Susan do after she left at the end of season 4?
Chosen answer: She was promoted to Captain and thus had to leave Babylon 5, becoming a captain on a new Warlock class ship. Later on she retires/quits and becomes the top Ranger on Minbar.
Answer: She was promoted to Captain and headed a new class of ship called the Warlock. Hence she was no longer on the station after season 4, dealing with her grief from Marcus dying.
