Show generally

Question: Someone on Reddit said there was an episode where a woman used her son to lure women into entering the sex trade - can anyone ID this episode (not the one with the preacher's wife pimping out her daughters, that was a different one)?

Question: How much time has passed between the events of the first film and this film? Since pretty much half of the White House was destroyed in the first film, wouldn't it have taken some time to rebuild that section of the White House?

Question: When President Asher takes the phone call regarding Prime Minister Wilson's death, who would be the one authorized to call him to let him know? Would it be the new Prime Minister or someone else in the British government?

Question: When the terrorists masquerading as Lee's protection detail were being scanned as they came in, how was Kang's face not immediately red flagged? Since he was "one of the most wanted terrorists in the world", wouldn't that facial recognition data go through all FBI, CIA, INTERPOL, and Homeland Security databases?

Question: How does Mike not know about Cerberus? Wouldn't the Secret Service be informed about what that is, since they are the ones who guard the President and the other code holders with their lives?

Question: Why does Director Jacobs authorize Secret Service protection for Speaker Trumbull when he becomes Acting President when the Speaker of the House already has a protection detail? Or, does the Speaker of the House normally not have any? Was that just for a dramatic moment in the film to show that, even in a crisis, things still happen by arrangement?

Question: How did Dimitri manage to get to Anya on the bridge if Rasputin had blocked all the entry ways?

Question: Which scene was the last one to be filmed for this movie?

Question: What kind of wetsuit did Susan have in the film?

Question: The night that Eddie left the studio, why did Sal blame everything on Frank? If it hadn't been for Frank, they would have been stuck playing other people's songs for the rest of their lives. Because of Frank writing all of their songs, they got far enough to almost get a record deal.

Question: Are there any ways Clark could have saved his father from the tornado without the need for superspeed and thus risk his secret getting out before the time was right?

Question: Why was July 5th the day of the planned terrorist plot? Was it just a coincidence, or did they think that the day after Independence Day would be the day people would least suspect and therein catch DC off guard?

Question: Why did Velma believe that everything that happened was just a hallucination, considering in the previous movies the Mystery Inc. Team dealt with zombies, voodoo, aliens, witchcraft and even got pulled into a computer?

Question: Why was Clyde still activating the latest bomb when he had already taught Nick the lesson not to make deals with criminals? That was his whole point he wanted to make, wasn't it? That had succeeded, so why the intent to kill more people?

Question: Why did Paul insist on taking the van rather than getting in the Humvees with everyone else? When Harry stops by the motel later to pick up ELF, we see that most if not all the equipment got left behind. We also see behind Paul a number of times whilst he's driving, and the van looks empty so it's not like it had all their gear in it.

Question: Since Rachel's husband and friend were revealed to be bad guys, was it the husband who left the gate unlocked? (Instead of Rachel).

Shipper

Question: What was the soundtrack when Bourne was searching for Neski and Hotel Brecker? Could not find it anywhere.

Beyond a Joke - S7-E6

Question: Who actually placed the bomb on the Simulants' ship? All three of them were together the whole time, and Kryten had been stolen.
