Partners in Danger Chapter 9: The Haunting of Mary Jane - S4-E9

Plot hole: Miranda Wilson states that after the accident on the movie set left her face disfigured, she hid in the catacombs by the bridge and almost died from her condition until Quentin Beck found her after he was released from prison. Beck is the one that caused the accident in the first place, so even if he only spent a month in prison, Miranda Wilson would have died from starvation or malnutrition - if not infection from her untreated facial disfigurement - long before Beck could have been released from prison and found her.

Partners in Danger Chapter 10: Lizard King - S4-E10

Plot hole: When Debra and Margaret arrive at the underground arena with the device that can revert the humanoid lizards to their original forms, they lose control of the device and it ends up in the hands of Ghila, who monologues that the humanoid lizards' existence was an accident and that she will use the device to return them to being regular lizards. Ghila had never seen this device before, nor did anyone tell her what its purpose was, so there's no way she could have known it was designed to reverse the mutations.

Suggested correction: Not entirely true; although they are rare and may no longer exist now, I've seen traffic lights that followed the red, yellow, green pattern as recently as the mid-1990s.

Interesting. What state (s) did you see this in? I'm assuming going from red to yellow was to encourage cars to cautiously enter the intersection in case someone was running a red light?

Traffic lights in the UK do this - it's more to give you a second to get ready, in gear, etc., then as soon as the lights turn green you can go. Otherwise you get no warning of when the lights are about to change.

In Illinois; as I said, such traffic lights are rare, but they did exist at least as recently as the time this episode of the series aired, and they may still possibly exist in larger cities such as New York City.

This traffic light set-up (red to yellow to green) still exists today in the UK. From what I understand, it is to alert the driver that the light will be turning green imminently and to prepare themselves to put their car in gear, as manual cars are still pretty common in Europe. I'd wager this light cycle was phased out of North America due to the abundance of automatic cars today. Could have been different in 1994 though.

It should be noted that traffic lights that go from red to yellow before going green keep the red light illuminated so that both red and yellow are lit up. However, that's not what happens in the scene. I've never seen a traffic light operate the way it's shown. And Massachusetts still has traffic lights that go from red to yellow, however, when red and yellow are lit up together, this allows for pedestrian crossing.

Trivia

Trivia: Around the same time this show was airing, James Cameron was in the midst of developing a Spider-Man film which would have featured Sandman and Electro as the villains. Due to this plan, Sandman never appeared on this show despite being a prominent member of Spidey's rogue's gallery. Electro eventually made an appearance in the show's final season once it was determined that Cameron's film would never come to fruition, though the Electro that appeared on this show was a bastardized version of his comics counterpart.

Questions

Answer: Yes. Many things that would have been in the sixth season would have had Norman Osborne returning from limbo and reclaiming the title of the Green Goblin, Richard Fisk, the son of "The Kingpin" Wilson Fisk would return as a crime lord known as "The Rose", Ghost Rider would have appeared to help Spider-Man stop Dormammu from returning to Earth and Madame Web and Spider-Man would rescue Mary Jane from limbo.
