Question: How in blazes do 790 and the other robot heads, when they are attached to cyborg bodies, eat, drink and breathe for their biological bodies? I never see anything like either a functional nose/air intake or functional jaw and mouth (for food intake, as opposed to speech) for these things. I never see any such bio-interface on the bottom of 790's head when he is held upside-down etc... Also, what is the power source for 790's kind's actual robot head, since we never see him plug into an outlet, fuel up etc.

Question: When Goren infiltrates the prison, he says that his name is William Brady. He is then given a truth serum and under its effects, he admits his real name and that he's a cop.

Question: When Gordon gives Wayne a presentation on Project Green Lantern, Wayne says, "Put away the snowblower, Gordon. What's the problem?" What does he mean by the snowblower? It makes no sense to me.

Question: Doris is supposed to be the cleaning lady at the hospital but in the episode where Morgan and Peter are stuck in the bathroom of their office she opens the door for them. Is this a mistake or is their office in the same building as the hospital?

Question: (Spoiler alert) If Annabelle and Dr. Trent simply wanted to murder Frederick, what was the point of Dr. Trent attempting to dispose of Frederick's body in the acid? Why the elaborate scheme to have him accidentally killed by someone else if they were going to destroy his body in acid anyway? They could have simply hit him over the head and dumped him in the pit.
