Question: Why did they let Benson adopt? Given she's single and has a dangerous job wouldn't this be carefully scrutinized? After all, she could end up dead, thus the boy goes back into the system.

Rob245

Answer: As this particular adoption case the judge presiding over it personally knew Olivia; that can make all the difference in the process as most adoptions are presided by judges who do not know the person and are going solely off how they look on paper as to whether or not it can be approved. This was likely the case of when Olivia mentioned she had previously been turned down for adoption. With Noah not being a healthy infant, the judge would not want to be too picky with who can adopt him as unhealthy infants have a high risk of never being adopted. With the judge personally knowing Olivia, that would help seal her confidence that even in the event of Olivia's death Olivia would have already made sure it would be pre-arranged for Noah to be cared for rather than put back in the system.

My Name Is Earl (2005)

Show generally

Question: Doesn't Earl have to pay state tax or whatever on his lottery winnings, and thus would be down to only 88 grand or so?

Rob245

Answer: He would definitely have to pay a Federal income tax, but state tax laws vary. My own state does not have an income tax, and instead collects revenue through sales taxes.

The Prowler (1981)

Stupidity: Given the killer had been chasing her, Pam should've gone with Mark when he went into the dorm instead of staying in his vehicle, she'd have been safer this way.

The Prowler (1981)

Revealing mistake: The Prowler's just killed Lisa in the pool, yet he's walking across a lawn completely dry. Clearly this is footage reused from when he was outside the dorm earlier.

La Noire (2011)

Factual error: In Arson, you chase a burglar who'd tried breaking into a house. The street crime's called "Hot Property." Problem is the phrase refers to stolen goods and he hadn't stolen anything and sold it to someone.

Joker (2019)

Question: When the ambulance rams the police car Arthur's in was this accidental or intentional? If intentional how'd the guy driving it know Arthur would be in it?

Rob245

Answer: I think they intentionally rammed a police car, not because Joker was in it but simply because it was a police car.

lionhead

Answer: I think the guy stole the ambulance and intentionally rammed the police car because they were rioting against the police.

La Noire (2011)

Plot hole: In "The Set Up" it's never explained how Carlos Arquero could tail Candy Edwards to the bus station without being seen by Phelps or Earle, much less how he got in the ladies' room to kill her.

La Noire (2011)

Plot hole: The game takes place within a year from 1946-1947. That would be impossible for Cole Phelps to advance through patrol and through all four police squads: Traffic, Homicide, Vice, Arson.

La Noire (2011)

Stupidity: In "House Of Sticks" insurance investigator Jack Kelso discovers a taped meeting of the heads of the Redevelopment Fund. This would be incredibly stupid of them leaving this crucial evidence lying around for anyone to find.
