Question: SPOILERS: When Sonic and Shadow land on the moon, they have a heart-to-heart conversation and appear to be breathing. But there's no air on the moon. Are we to assume that the Chaos Emeralds (which have given them both powers) are giving them the ability to breathe and speak in the environment?
Answer: They still have the Chaos Emerald power at that point because, immediately after, they turn gold and fly away.
Honestly, that's probably the best answer.
Question: How did Stone see Robotnik's message at the end? It appeared to be displayed on jumbotron-like devices in big city squares, but Stone was in London and there didn't appear to be any giant screens, or even small ones, anywhere near him.
Answer: Per a quick Google search, it appears there are several locations in London where there are giant screens. He likely was running around the city in a panic (there is a doomsday weapon threatening to destroy mankind, after all) and managed to stumble onto one of the locations.
Question: Has anyone else noticed that Everett and Julie are not seen with the rest of the cast in the last scene? They just dash by in the hall. Is it possible the ending was reshot any they were added in post?
Answer: Well, Everett ends up chasing after Julie, telling her she should stay for New Year's so the family doesn't notice.
Question: I don't understand why the government thought Biederman was dead. They would have identified the body in the car crash as the astronomer. They would have found only one body. But yet they think Biederman was dead?
Answer: I don't think necessarily that the government confirmed he was dead, merely that some wires were crossed along the way between local police discovering Wolf's body, the person finding the envelope, and the press conference.
Question: Why was Susan so upset with Benjamin after he left, and why is it she suddenly breaks down, cries, and pleads for him not to go away before he leaves again?
Answer: Because he's her father and she misses him. Her mum is already dead and she recently lost one of her brothers. She's afraid of losing him too.
Question: Where was Kairi all this time?
Answer: Although it remained unclear where Kairi went during the events of Kingdom Hearts 2/Final Mix, it is safe to assume that she stayed on the island until Axel kidnapped her, only to be taken from Axel's hands by Saix. This event was mentioned during the Heartless massacre (inside the portal connecting the "fake" Twilight Town with The World That Never Was), where she ended up meeting Naminé before reuniting with Sora and Riku in that world.
Question: Why would Barry need Kara's help in gaining extra speed to return to his own dimension considering that the device he had on was capable of doing that?
Answer: It was an experimental device and was not meant to propel him into another world, it happened by accident. He need an extra boost of speed to get him back home.
Except that the device did give him the extra boost of speed, which caused him to end up in Kara's world, so he wouldn't really need Kara's help to return home since the device could do it for Barry.
Question: When the student is stopped from taking the taxi to see his father, once they are going together, why do they still take a cab in what looks like a long drive instead of driving their own car?
Answer: Maybe since they didn't know how to get there, it would be easier than finding a map and trying to navigate there on their own in the snow? Just a guess, though.
She Was Killed by Space Junk - S1-E3
Question: Agent Angela Blake had to surrender her weapon to enter the funeral of Crawford. When a suicide bomber threatens the group, Blake shoots the bomber with a gun. Where did she get the gun?
Question: When Captain Von Trapp says, "Another name I haven't heard before," what is the tone implied? Like, was it sarcasm or did he really never hear that name before?
Answer: Sarcasm.
Question: Is the guy watching the TV on the subway train Christopher Lloyd?
Question: At the beginning of Lover's Vow, Preston's art is not selling. Why is it that after Carola helps him, his art suddenly becomes a success? Is she controlling the people in charge of the art business?
Question: At the fancy restaurant, when Tony is yelling that the other patrons "don't have the guts to be who they want to be." What does he think they "want to be"?
Question: At the swimming pool, Stu goes to the bar and starts speaking to someone he knows. Was Daniel not the least bit worried that Stu's friend would say something and blow his cover? He would've seen "Mrs Doubtfire" lob the fruit, and then "she" even spoke to Stu's friend in a man's voice saying, "What are you looking at?"
Answer: It doesn't appear that Stu's friend was too familiar with the Hillards personally. He first asked whose children those were (as if he was unfamiliar with the kids), and although he was familiar with the name "Miranda Hillard", he may only know her as a mere acquaintance or through his job somehow (but not on a personal level). There is no indication he knew Daniel or had met him before. Also, he just saw Mrs. Doubtfire sitting there and just figured she was a random member, so he didn't think twice about her—regardless of the lime throwing or comments. Additionally, when he mentioned the kids' real father, it doesn't mean he knew Daniel; it just indicated that the kids seemed happy, and he figured they had a traditional two-parent background, so he asked about the "father" after Stu mentioned they needed a father figure in their lives.
Question: When Cross leaves the station when the Captain is talking to the press, Ruskin's partner drives past and stares at him. Why? It makes Cross lower his glasses and take a moment in thought. There must be a reason for this, but I can't work it out.
Answer: The way I look at it is that 1) it was a classic misdirection and 2) this made Alex realise who the real killer was. Because Alex is incredibly intuitive and has had an extensive career of deduction. It is possible that I may have missed something too.
Question: When Eddie is trying to pull the trailer up and the T-Rexes reappear, why didn't he turn the wipers off and stay still? The T-Rexes wouldn't have seen him, meaning he might've lived.
Question: I don't understand the conversation between Melanie and Bobby Ray. He said that his "little lady" is a women's softball coach in Nashville. Then, Melanie nods her head knowingly and says that it explains some lingering questions she had about a game of Post Office that they played. By his reaction to that, it seems like that somehow let her know that he was definitely gay. I don't understand. Can you help me connect the dots?
Answer: To start, he never said "his little lady." After Melanie hugs Bobby Ray in public and sees people watching, she says she doesn't want to get him in trouble with his girlfriend and then asks if he has a girlfriend. His response is basically that no, he doesn't have a girlfriend. Then she asks about the girl he had dated (but is no longer dating) and she was a softball coach. The implication being she is a lesbian because of the stereotype associated with women softball players. Her being a lesbian during a game of "post office" explained the questions Melanie had about the girl, not about Bobby Ray.
Question: How much involvement did Stephen King have in the making of this film? He wrote the script for the first Creepshow movie; however, for this film, the screenwriter is credited as George A. Romero. I know the middle story "The Raft" is based on a story King had written previously, but what about the other two, "Old Chief Woodenhead" and "The Hitchhiker"? Did King have any involvement in the making of those stories as well, or were they made up entirely by Romero?
Answer: From what I understand, "Old Chief Woodenhead" and "The Hitchhiker" were both loosely outlined by King. But he ended up stepping back and having little involvement in the film beyond writing rough outlines since the budget was being cut drastically and George A. Romero wasn't directing.
