Question: Where does the name Boolie derive from?

Question: Why did Will and "Emily" get divorced? Is the only hint her comment about "feeling lost when it comes to relationships", implying she wasn't very good at them?

Question: Does anyone know what kind of keyboard Matthew was using in his apartment?

Question: Why was the boys' mother so desperate to believe that Todd was the killer, instead of Terry?

Question: How did Bel and Genesis know about the conversation Ethan had with his family before his family left for the beach? He asked them were they spying on him, but the conversation was in the house. How do they know what was said?

Question: I don't get the elves at The North Pole and Noelle's family seeing her as "selfish" or "immature." Three examples of this: 1. The elves call her a "princess" and antagonize her for her brother's disappearance. 2. Polly tells her "Worrying about someone else's Christmas and not your own. Now that is very mature." like she was never mature and selfless her whole life. 3. Right after that quote, her mother sent her a hurtful letter saying that she "acted selfishly, foolishly, immaturely, disrespectfully, childishly", etc. But why? Throughout the whole movie, she had been nothing but kind, selfless, caring, and friendly.

Question: Could someone please tell me what time the day ended in the first scene? I see the pocket watch and it looks like possibly 9:15, but that can't be right?

Mr. Monk and the Election - S3-E15

Question: At the school debate, behind the two candidates there is a picture drawn. The picture looks to me like the Honeymooners apartment - is it?

Season 3 generally

Question: I'm rewatching "Rick and Morty" on Hulu. Season 1 and 2 the cursing was bleeped but in Season 3 nothing is censored (and it seems like there's a lot more F-words, at least in the first episode). Why the change? I don't remember if Season 3 on Adult Swim was censored or not, was it? Is there an uncensored version of "Rick and Morty" Season 1 and 2 or were the bleeps intentionally put in by the show's producers and not the network? I would think if an uncensored version existed that Hulu would air that version.

Question: Dr. Robotnik sent Sonic, Tails and Knuckles two hundred years into the future. Mephiles also sent Shadow and Rouge two hundred years into the future. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles met Shadow and Rouge coincidentally at the same time in Crisis City. Or was it planned by Dr. Robotnik or Mephiles?

David&Yara

Question: What happened to Chozen's friends, Toshio and Taro? After being defeated by Mr. Miyagi (in the scene where Chozen hits Mr. Miyagi with the spear) they no longer appear in the movie. Is this possible that they perished during the typhoon? If they didn't, then what happened to them?

Question: At the end of the movie, as the credits roll, and in the background, we see Brody and Hooper paddling their way to shore on those 2 yellow barrels. Would I be right to assume this is probably not actually Scheider and Dreyfuss, but instead, 2nd unit filming this with stand-ins for those two? Knowing Spielberg at that time, maybe he did use Scheider and Dreyfuss. If 2nd unit, anyone know who the stand-ins were?

Question: Is Jack Handle actually a person in Step Brothers? Cause if so, we only hear his name when Robert announces that's who he will be moving in with.

Question: In the TV version, after the segment "Boys Do Get Bruised", why did it show Walter lying in the coffin instead of Carl? Walter survived at the end of the segment so it made no sense for him to be in a coffin.

Question: Wouldn't the air-to-air refuelling plane have exploded once E.D.I shot off the couplet?

Question: What happened to the getaway driver after Jeff knocks him out? Where did his body go?

Question: When Iwan and Emma are living together, Iwan is cooking on the veranda. He called her "snootch" Emma responds "I thought we agreed about snootch?" What are they talking about? What is snootch?

Last Rites - S7-E21

Question: In this episode and in the SVU episode "Presumed Guilty" why were the detectives angry at Father Shea for not giving them any information? Clearly they know that as a priest anything that's said to him during confession is priest-penitent confidentiality so he's not allowed to say anything that someone confesses to him.

Question: What is the book on Stu Redman's bed when he is in the hospital?
