Question: At the end of the movie, the villain says that a carjacking will take place that night of a young couple who went the wrong way. Is he implying that he in fact had Ritter's carjacking staged so that he would join the Colony?

Question: Why does Ronit put on a Sheitel before discussing her late father's house with her uncle? She's not married, so despite not practising the faith anyway, I'm not sure how doing so would appease him.

Show generally

Question: I am still only in season 1, but have noticed JD and a few of the other new doctors sometimes wear black scrubs. I feel like at times it was used to code which of them was trusted most at the moment, such as Episode 7 where being the "top intern" seemed to be JD's main focus in the episode. Am I reaching or do the black scrubs have a meaning?

Question: What was in Cosmo's fish tank? They look almost like barracudas. If not, what are they?

Prints Charming - S5-E14

Question: When Carrie points out the photo of Mr. Hofferman playing guitar on a mountain, Doug jokes about him being gay. I don't understand - is this a reference to something?

Question: Is the actor playing Rosie at the very end when he releases Tyler a different actor than the rest of the film? When he goes up to hug Bohdi he looks very different from earlier.

Question: At the pub in London, on Marwood returning from the toilet and saying "balls to Monty", Withnail says he's just spent an hour on the phone to Monty "flattering the bugger"? Surely Marwood wasn't in there for an hour and it's unlikely Withnail would have had time to phone Monty in the short while he surely must really have been in there, especially with a threatening guy sitting outside and likely to come in the longer he spent there.

Question: The man who goes into the bunkhouse to get a gun and gets shot in the stomach in the beginning is the same one in the gray suit acting drunk in the saloon fight big Jake has.

Question: At one point, Blue Raja mistakenly says that Bowler's father's name was Sal, which she immediately corrects as being Carmine. I never caught this till now after watching a recent animated Batman movie, but two of the big mob bosses that are rivals in Batman are Sal Maroni and Carmine Falcone. Considering the influences of this movie, is this intended to be a reference to the two Batman mob bosses?

Quantom X

Question: What music is playing in the background of the church when Christian Slater gets knocked out?

Unrequited - S3-E12

Question: Why did Marion look at Harvey with shock when the cruise ship up the Hudson river was mentioned?

Question: During "The Real Ending" Mr. Green tells Wadsworth/Mr. Boddy "So it was you! I was going to expose you!" To which Mr. Boddy says he knows, and that he's going to expose himself. I thought this meant that he knew Green was an FBI Agent and planned to kill him at some point, but then Green figures out that Wadsworth is Mr. Boddy. What exactly was Mr. Green going to expose if he didn't know Mr. Boddy's real identity?

Question: After the hackers get almost the entire code, they say that if they try to make a mistake the vault would be locked for 48h. Earlier in the movie they tried their obsolete code before discovering that it wasn't working. At that time why didn't the vault lock itself for 48h?
