Question: Just out of curiosity, since Blade isn't 100% human or vampire, can he still eat regular food, or only blood?
Answer: Vampires in this franchise can eat food; they just require blood because, as Whistler stated in the first film, their own blood can't sustain hemoglobin. Since Blade's only weakness is that he also needs to consume blood (or a serum as a substitute), this means he can eat regular food as well.
Question: In this episode, it mentions that the groups are always 4 humans and an animal. What was the Darrow Family's animal?
Answer: Their animal was a white cat. In "Come Undone," the last episode of season 2, right at the start, there's a shot of "The Mystery Fellowship and their cat, Whiskers"; also in this shot is young Danny Darrow with his family.
Question: Andrew was obviously 200 years old when he died. How old do you suppose Portia was when she passed away?
Answer: Between 125 to 150 years old, her life was extended by the artificial body parts developed by Rupert Burns. Andrew traveled the world for nearly 50 years before returning home, at which point Portia was about 25 years old.
50 years? I thought Little Miss said he had been gone for 20 years?
Question: Other than wanting to be with the "cool kids," why exactly did Randall end his friendship with Mike?
Question: On the death of Commander Powell, wouldn't Lieutenant Doolittle have been promoted to commander?
Answer: Just because he was forced to take command doesn't guarantee him a promotion.
Question: When Charles is being dropped off at the Boatman, why do his friends start making siren sounds?
Question: Why doesn't Superman ask the League to help him find and destroy all Kryptonite on Earth?
Question: How could the police car still work like normal after Arnie literally crushed its front?
Answer: Depending on what exactly was damaged when he landed on the hood, it may still be able to run for a while before the damage destroys the engine beyond use.
Question: When Obi-Wan accused the son of being Sith, what did he mean by yes and no?
Answer: The Son is not truly a Sith because he doesn't subscribe to Sith beliefs, nor was he a part of the early Sith Empire or the new "Rule of Two" Sith Order. He is merely a personification of the Dark Side of the Force itself.
Question: Is the song "Evil Incarnate" a real song, or was it composed for the movie?
Answer: It was written for the movie.
Question: Is there any indication that Mrs Mott knew that her husband was sexually assaulting his female patients? I doubt any pregnant woman would be pleased if she found out her husband was taking advantage of other women for his own desires behind her back.
Answer: Totally agree with the other answer, but would add that Mott's previous victims only came forward after Claire made her allegations. Many sexual assault victims fail to report crimes because they are embarrassed, think they won't be believed, fear public backlash, dread the legal process, etc. Mott, being a doctor, made it hard to prove his actions were "sexual" in nature. He was pretty subtle, leaving his victims unsure and making it difficult to prove sexual assault.
I just figured that maybe there was occasional gossip/rumours about Mott's behaviour before Claire reported it. But you are very correct - his actions would be subtle and difficult to prove. Also, the people who do these things are usually popular and well-respected, not stereotypical "creeps."
Answer: I don't think she knew. Later on, while talking to Claire, she sounds happy about him and says that he was the only one who really understood her. It's also possible that she heard occasional rumours about him, but refused to believe any of it. This happens in real life - a person will ignore numerous allegations against their spouse/partner. They don't believe it, and/or they want to cling to their ideal fantasy life. Notice how Mrs Motts thinks of her husband's death as a murder, and Claire is the "murderer."
An american girl in paris (part deux) - S6-E20
Question: Since Carrie knew where her French fan club was going to be hosting the dinner party for her, but she didn't know their phone numbers, why didn't she just call the restaurant and let them know she was running late?
Answer: Being that she's new to Paris, Carrie probably didn't know the restaurant's phone number or how to look it up. She could barely speak any French, so even if she could call, would likely be unable to converse well or understand the conversation. She was also upset/angry at Petrovsky when she impulsively rushed off to the restaurant.
Question: Were there any hints Jason was the Arkham Knight?
Answer: Quite a few. To name a couple: the scene in the diner shows a man wearing a red hoodie with an "A" chalked onto the table in front of him; this is Todd, a reference to the red hoodie he wore, with the "A" hinting at his identity as the Arkham Knight. It's also foreshadowed in several lines of the AK's dialogue, including yelling at Batman: "How long did you take before replacing me? A month? A week? I trusted you and you just left me to die!" Finally, in Batman's vision of Joker's misdeeds, one of them is Todd's apparent death, titled "Remember the New Guy?"
Answer: Besides all of the subtle hints that point to Jason being the Arkham Knight, the audio files that are available have the Arkham Knight revealing his identity as Jason to Barbara.
Answer: No.
Question: Why are no prostitutes arrested during the course of the investigation? Mulder, Scully, and everyone else investigating the case know what they do. This episode takes place in Minnesota, and prostitution is only legal in Nevada, so how can they talk to one (a friend of a victim, who was also a prostitute) and simply let her go?
Answer: You can't arrest someone simply based on what you may know or suspect they do. There needs to be actual proof. A prostitute would have to be caught in the act of soliciting or actively engaging with a customer. Also, investigating prostitution is not Mulder and Scully's purpose here, and arresting someone they need to give them information regarding another crime would be counterproductive to their investigation and scare off other potential witnesses.
Born Again - S1-E22
Question: At first, Dr. Braun suspected that Michelle was being abused because she kept tearing the toy dolls apart. Can someone explain why this is a sign of possible abuse?
Question: In the first movie, Beetlejuice worked with Juno, and later, Otho says that people who commit suicide become civil servants in the afterlife. In this movie, it's revealed that Beetlejuice didn't commit suicide but was murdered by being tricked into drinking poison by the woman he loved. Why would he be working in the afterlife if it was murder and not intentional suicide?
Answer: I thought the same thing on this and also why Lydia's husband was a civil worker, but there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it part where Beetlejuice is reading a newspaper and there is a small story with a headline titled: 'Workers Wrongly Assigned Suicide at Death', which would explain it.

Answer: Probably because they are biologically different, even though Barbara had wished for similar physical characteristics as Diana. Wonder Woman is nearly indestructible. Also, the armour is Amazon-made and may have supernatural properties that insulate it against electricity. There are likely various other reasons, but it comes down to Wonder Woman being superhuman and the armour not being regular metal.
