Question: An N64 game called Jet Force Gemini was published and developed by Rare alone, but this game was published by Nintendo. Does this mean that Rare created Banjo-Kazooie at their own headquarters and called Nintendo to publish it, or did they make the game at Nintendo's headquarters?

Chosen answer: She figured it out from what he did say. Since their engagement is a relatively recent development, it's an easy deduction that the shock of such a huge step in their relationship is what knocked his mother for a loop.

Caregiver - S3-E3

Question: When Opie sees Lyla and starts fighting, what is the song that's in the background? I think it's a remix of Show Me What You Got by Nadia because that's what it's credited as, but it's not the one.

Question: Shouldn't Dr Jonas and his men have been arrested for what they did? And shouldn't the guys who employed have been arrested too?

Answer: They may have been arrested eventually but it would only happen after a lengthy and involved investigation that would extend beyond the movie's timeline.

Question: During the party near the ending, why did the guests panic when they saw Jonathan's true identity?

Answer: Throughout the movie, Dracula has been drilling into his guests the history of humans' mistreatment of monsters, hence the building of the hotel, which was to be a monster's refuge from the human world. Most of the monsters likely had never interacted with humans, so that coupled with the stories from the past caused the monsters to freak when they saw Jonathan's true identity as a human.

But they had been hanging out in the hotel for long and johnny wasn't a bad person so the shock is unjustified.

The fact that he'd been hiding his identity the whole time would be enough for anyone to be concerned, especially when the reality was that he was a human, who they all have been in fear of for centuries.

Answer: Part of the shock would be him lying all this time, or the possibility of him being a fake Johnny.

Question: How old is Samara? Some websites say she's 10 when she died but others say she was 8. Other sites say 11 or 12.

Answer: According to the first movie, Samara is around 8 years old whenever she is thrown in the well. Richard and Anna Morgan returned to Moesko island in 1970 with baby Samara. Whenever Rachel is researching Anna Morgan, she finds that Anna committed suicide in 1978, shortly after she disposed of Samara at Shelter Mountain inn. Some details have been changed in the 2nd and 3rd movie, raising the question of how old Samara is. But after looking at the hospital records in the first movie, she is 8.

Brian's Got a Brand New Bag - S8-E4

Question: In this episode, Brian goes to the bar, when he's supposed to be picking up Rita's medicine. When he's there, he meets an attractive girl, who refers him to her friend. Before that, the attractive girl says texting lingo which is too fast for me to understand. What is the translation?

Answer: You may be getting episodes mixed up. In the bar, Brian meets a girl and tries to explain what a book is by saying, 'it's the internet made out of tree.' Then they go have sex in the bathroom.

Question: What did Pazuzu (when possessing Regan) mean when he told Damien that performing an exorcism would bring them closer together?

Answer: Pazuzu is secure in its position and does not believe it can be exorcised, so it is a taunt to Damien, who is in the midst of a deep crisis of faith, that the attempt at exorcism will fail and send Damien further down the path of darkness.

Answer: When the Exorcism failed, Father Karras asked the Demon to take him, which it did, he continued his hold on him through the Legion story line.

Chosen answer: They felt that enough time had passed that Ross should be able to put the past behind him, and he and Carol were friends and they shared a child together. Ross had also moved on from that relationship, and was now in love with Rachel, and had in fact, always been in love with her.

Question: Even though the game has no blood present, and has cartoony violence instead of intense violence, why does it still have the T rating?

Answer: Most likely due to "comic mischief" being deemed as a mild suggestive theme, which put it over the E 10+ level.

Question: Are there any obvious nods to the previous 2003 film version? A friend said he thought he caught a few subtle nods to it, but I don't recall seeing any during the first two seasons.

Question: Did Snape know that Draco and Harry were the masters of the Elder Wand?

DFirst1

Chosen answer: No, Snape never knew this. Draco had briefly become the Elder Wand's master when he disarmed Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower and prior to Harry disarming Draco at Malfoy Manor. Draco never knew that he commanded the Elder Wand and never physically possessed it. Harry figured out later how the wand's allegiance had changed, making him its master.

Question: Why did Mr Mertle invite them into his house? Given how they just made all that noise and took down his fence.

THE GAMER NEXT DOOR

Chosen answer: Because he was a nice guy. He also maybe wanted to talk more about baseball since he probably has no one else. He even says it "Let's talk about this ball".

Answer: In the first movie Benny and company were also making a great deal of noise and Mr. Mertle didn't complain.

Answer: Because it's annoying when you have to hear kids scream and break a window.
