Question: Cecilia states that she realised that John Kramer was Jigsaw, and she got worried. How did she figure out who he was, and since she found out, why did she still insist on scamming him?

Answer: If I recall correctly, nothing in the movie or her dialogue indicates she knew he was Jigsaw before he captured her. To me, it came across that her dialogue was referring to her realizing the truth when she was captured and placed into her test.

Lisa the Skeptic - S9-E8

Question: The angel turns out to be a publicity stunt for the new mall, but it was only found because Lisa wanted to do an archaeological dig. How did the mall developers expect someone to find it before Lisa arranged the dig?

Answer: When Lisa is asking to do the dig, the developers have a private conversation and then agree. They planted the angel the night before.

Question: After they rescue Jack and the Pearl from the locker, why are some things still destroyed and some things aren't? The winch they were using to lift the gunpowder up is still smashed, the windows in the Captain's quarters are still smashed and even the light behind the wheel... But the cannons that the Kraken smashed with its tentacles are still fine, the stairs inside the shop are still fine (despite being destroyed by the Kraken).

Question: Does the FBI officer sat in the front passenger seat of the prison truck survive when he jumps out of it as it's being lifted in the air? The shooter, who is stood on the roof of the FBI prison van, fatally shoots the driver through the top, and the front passenger jumps out and has a short fall onto the car roof below. Some resources are saying he dies on impact and counts as the body count, but others say that he survives.

Question: In the extended deleted scene in the Brody house, Martin is ordering Michael to take the boat out of the water by tomorrow night, and the extended scene shows Michael walking into his room in a huff and then blasting some classical music out loud, which Ellen tells him to turn down. Then they chat. Does anyone know what the music is that Michael plays? Thank you.

Pilot - S1-E1

Question: I'm not an expert, but in this episode, when the patient has an allergic reaction inside the MRI machine, they pull her out and start operating on her throat with a metal scalpel kept right in front of the MRI machine, along with other metal objects which I assume are ferrous. Surely this would never happen?

Answer: There are non-magnetic scalpels, made of titanium, used for emergent situations in MRI rooms.

Question: Was the whole reason for the AC130 strafing the White House rooftop to eliminate all the Secret Service snipers that could potentially stop the attack?

Answer: Yep. And to massacre as many innocent collateral damage/victims as humanly possible. The more carnage, the better.

Question: How does entering numerous loops at the end help Jake get back to 1943? How long does it take him? And what did he spend two months in London doing?

Question: What is the deal with Emma's underwear? We see her wearing shorts when she goes swimming, but other times her underwear goes over her knees.

Question: Why does the Prince stick around the Queen if he doesn't like her? And why does he come to her Kingdom in the first place?

Answer: He's travelling to start trade agreements with the neighbouring kingdoms. He doesn't hate her; in fact, he doesn't know that she's evil. Even after Snow White informs him, he gives her the benefit of the doubt. Snow says she's evil, but he hasn't seen her do anything wrong.

Question: How does Emma manage to get out of the ocean with her lead shoes on? She couldn't have swum all the way to the shore.

Question: Why doesn't Millard just sneak past the wights in the Blackpool Tower and free the Ymbrynes from the cellar himself? Also, why doesn't he do more during the final battle?

Question: How did Abe know at the end that the peculiar children were still in Blackpool and hadn't left on their ship yet?

Question: Why couldn't Miss Peregrine create a loop sooner? Surely there were safer days before the bomb hit her house.

Question: What breed and colour was Henry Fonda's horse in the movie? It was beautiful.
