Citizens' Arrest - S7-E12

Question: Why does the police officer call this a citizen's arrest? Beavis and Butthead were more like hostages in the situation. They never caught/subdued the robber.

Question: There is a moment when a police officer, riding shotgun in a pursuit car, aims his shotgun out the window at the red car. Is he planning just to shoot the tires or to actually get a shot at Hammond? What is he trying to do before Hammond grabs the handgun and shoots out the cop car's tire?

Hazardous to Your Health - S5-E18

Question: This was one of my favourite episodes, and it wasn't actually until Season 5 when we found out exactly how much money Dylan had. But the question I always had was how it could have been fraud. Dylan and Kevin opened a joint account together at the end of Season 4, so wasn't that also now legally his money as well? Yes, he did withdraw it and fled the country, but wasn't it his money too?

Question: Joe gave Ed O'Neill the red book, which he placed by the window. It never was out of view, and Ed gave it back. Joe walked away and later finds it to have been replaced with a blank copy. When was it supposedly switched?

Question: How did the plane carrying Colonel Turner from England to Austria, going to pick up the group at the airfield, manage to do so in such a short time? It's almost 700 miles from London to Austria. At the time, the only place held by the British that was any closer would have been Malta. Planes were not that fast back then.

Question: One thing I never understood about this movie was the scene when Tony and Tia were doing opposite things to the cooling system. Tony was trying to increase the temperature and Tia was trying to decrease it, and then all of a sudden it went down—how did Tia manage to overcome Tony's ability to increase the temperature?

Question: I'm not familiar with racing, so how would Amy giving Foh some water be an interference? She's technically a part of the team.

Question: At what point does Peter change his mind about his allegiance?

Question: What is the song from George Logan's headphones?

Question: Many people believe that Simone is a real person. But what about the actors that work with her? Clearly, they would know that Simone is not a real person but an A.I., since she's never actually in any scenes with them, and the actors themselves would say they never actually met her.

Season 1 generally

Question: In the first few episodes, the Walshes live in a different house than the one they live in throughout the series. Nothing was ever even mentioned, I don't think. Was it a mistake, or did I miss the explanation?

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: What do the symbols on Ardeth's black cloak he wears in London mean?

Question: Why didn't most of the cast, except for William H. Macy, like Nina Hartley?
