Answer: Are you sure about that? I remember Dolores bringing in some young kid her own age. She says it never would have worked out between her and Michael. Everyone laughed. At the end of the movie, when everyone jumped in the air, they were paired off, except for Davy, who jumped solo.
Dolores was talking about Davy when she said that; she was holding onto his arm.
The ending where the characters were jumping was reserved for the major players in the film; Delores was more of a featured character and therefore would not have been included.
Never Again - S4-E13
Question: When Mulder is on the phone with Scully and hears that she has a date, why does he make the punching motions after they hang up? Is he jealous?
Answer: It's not about Scully having a date. Mulder, who is on vacation at Elvis Presley's Graceland, is frustrated when Scully says the Pudovkin investigation is not an X File case and she's turned it over to the Philadelphia office. After hanging up, Mulder humorously expresses his frustration by mimicking Elvis' karate moves. Many Elvis imitators do this as a parody.
Question: When the family received the staff and visitation spell, Barley and Ian recited the spell. Why did the staff respond to Ian and not Barley?
Question: Might count as a stupidity, but given the high chance of death, why is only "revive me" written on his chest when he goes back, instead of also the details about the bomber and ferry?
Question: Given how much difficulty just some of what came out of the game gave everyone, how could Alan alone as a child have possibly survived in the game for 30+ years? Did the game make him immortal? Did Van Pelt help him, etc?
Answer: No. The game didn't make Alan immortal, and Van Pelt didn't help him. Van Pelt was a hunter whose mission was to kill Alan. After being pulled into the game, Alan probably had some close calls and had to learn for himself what was dangerous and what wasn't.
Question: 1. In at least 3 scenes, the person or truck tries to get to the front set of steps. Why didn't they try for the back set, or the steps on the 2nd locomotive; once aboard, they could get to the cab in front. 2. In the 2-engine attempt, there's no way those engines could go onto a siding and the rest of the train continue on the main track, is there? 3. When 1206 is moving onto the rip rail siding and 777 is coming at them, why does Frank blow the horn? He knows nobody is aboard 777.
Question: When the Baxter House is lit on fire, everybody comes out the front door and is promptly shot. Was there no rear exit or window?
Answer: A house that size likely had a back door and windows. Being made of wood, the fire could spread quickly, and the flames may have blocked the rear exit, as well as thick smoke making it difficult to breathe and see where one is going. The front door was probably the closest exit. Of course, the point of the plot is that they all get shot when they run out.
Question: Did Nicolas Cage and John Travolta get along while working on this movie? Was there any feud between them?
Answer: There's no report of any conflict, and they spent two weeks working together before filming started to develop their characters. There are some reports of a Face/Off sequel being made with the original cast, but nothing is verified. If true, the two must be on good enough terms to be willing to work together again.
The One With The Blind Dates - S9-E14
Question: What does Monica mean when she says she might have served some very questionable meat at the restaurant?
Answer: She's didn't realise what the date was and was a few days behind. So she's saying the meat may have been a few days past their expiration or use by date and gone bad, i.e. it's questionable if you should eat it because you might get sick.
Question: Wouldn't somebody like Doyle Lonnegan be aware of the existence of someone like Henry Gondorff?
Answer: Maybe by reputation only. He's a mob boss who can't be bothered with little things; he has men for that. Besides, Gondorff had been out of the game for years. He hasn't pulled a big con in years.
Question: What was the point of putting the first murder victim somewhere they were unlikely to be found?

The End of Time: Part 3 - S1-E40
Question: Why did Gluto decide to freeze himself?
Answer: Gluto has quite a cowardly personality and never contributed too much in fighting against the Power Rangers. When he felt that the final battle was getting too intense for him, he decided that he would rather be frozen than participate.
Question: Why is Beetlejuice so intent on marrying Lydia? Why not just find someone else?
Answer: Why are most people so intent on marrying someone? He loves Lydia. In the first movie, she was a teenager, and he mostly needed a wedding to get out of his punishment. In the years since, he appears to have developed more respect and appreciation for her. He stopped her wedding to Roy, exposed Roy's fraud, and transformed their almost-wedding into the smaller, "private" ceremony that she really wanted. He doesn't want to "just find someone else" for the same reasons that many people don't.
Answer: If he marries a human, he can leave limbo and become human again. He needs to get away from his wife, who needs him to complete her blood ritual.
If he just wanted to marry a human, any human, he would not have waited for Lydia. He kept a picture of her on his desk.
Question: After the Predator gets out of the water and walks past Dutch, it sees some small animal (not sure what) and kills it. Since it kills for sport, targets experts with weapons, why kill a defenceless animal? (01:20:00)
Answer: It simply might have seen killing a different animal as yet another "trophy." Especially if it hunts for sport and is on a different planet. I know a few people who hunt for "sport," and many of their targets are non-dangerous, defenceless animals that could not realistically fight back. It's just... a thing for some people.
Except that the Yautja only kill people who have weapons. The animal was defenceless, and it wouldn't have been very, what the Yautja perceive, as being honourable.
The issue is that you're going by logic established in sequels/spin-off material and trying to retroactively connect it. Nothing in the original movie explicitly states this. Even the name you're using, "Yautja," wasn't coined until a spin-off novel that came out seven years later. Sometimes sequels and spin-offs will "rewrite the rules" and retcon from the original, thus creating small inconsistencies. You just have to accept that it's something that happened in this movie, even if it contradicts future series "lore." You can't really fault it for not lining up with sequels they didn't even know would exist when they made it.
Question: How did Teddy get out of the holding cell room when the cop was lying by the door? He was suddenly chasing down the bad cop and the crazy guy, but she was still blocking the door.
