Question: Spoilers. The end of the movie shows Meg at home, apparently surviving the ordeal. In the final frames, though, we see the eviscerated body of Meg wearing the same clothes she wore in the final fight. How did Meg get zombified? Every other zombie monster had to go through the breach machine to transform, but Meg was still human at the time the machine was destroyed.

Question: Unless it needed final tuning, why doesn't Kingpin order Doc Ock to operate his collider that very day, as soon as possible?

Question: On approach to the airport, the crippled 747 is shown lining up with the runway. Meanwhile, there are cars going back and forth on a service road right at the end of the runway. Why wouldn't they have momentarily stopped the ground traffic on that road until the plane had made a safe landing?

Question: Since Norman doesn't die, does this mean Harry won't die either? What would happen to Oscorp once he's exposed?

Question: I get that Craig entered too late after Malkovich's 44th birthday, and was thus doomed to be a prisoner in Emily's mind, with no control over anything. But why wasn't this his fate the first time he entered the portal? Wasn't he too late after Dr. Lester's 44th birthday? Why wasn't he a prisoner in Malkovich's mind?

Question: When Bourne meets Dr. Albert Hirsh, he gets a keycard to enter. Where did he get it from?

Question: After Nick and Carver's confrontation in the restaurant, as Cassie and Nick arrive back at the new hotel, we see Hook Waters, along with Pinky, standing in the waiting room. Why was he there and how did he know where they were? (01:05:00)

Show generally

Question: I don't remember if it was this show or another L&O, but there was an episode where a reporter was overseas at a military encampment, reporting on a war. While there, he explains the military's plans by drawing them in the sand. Shortly later, the encampment is attacked. How could the enemy figure out where the encampment was? The reporter never said where the location was at, only what the soldiers were planning.

Question: When Captain Von Trapp says, "Another name I haven't heard before," what is the tone implied? Like, was it sarcasm or did he really never hear that name before?

Question: At the end of the film, Nate connects the Christmas lights and the house lights up. Why does this make the homing beacon turn green?

Question: It's never explained how Harry Powell gets that Model-T into the middle of the lake. Any possible answers?

Question: When Daniel is on the phone with the alarm company, what causes the connection to go static for a moment? Could it be that the aliens were eavesdropping on their conversation?

Question: When Sammy is in the park, what causes him to start screaming in that prolonged scream?

Show generally

Question: There's a quote from Richard Fish I've never been able to find exactly online, but I'm sure I'm remembering the gist, I think talking to someone about getting divorced or cheated on: "10 years from now, are you still going to be as mad as you are now? Of course not. So jump to that point, now, and you're over it. Fishism." Can anyone identify the episode/quote?
