Hank's Dirty Laundry - S2-E17

Question: After Hank defeats Arlen Video in court, how is he able to buy the dryer machine so fast? He passes the credit check at the store. Wouldn't it take thirty days or more for the Arlen Video debt to disappear from his credit history? The time doesn't pass because Bobby still thinks that the dryer is an early birthday present.

The Bat Jar Conjecture - S1-E13

Question: The PMS team won a trophy for beating Sheldon's team, but at the beginning of the match, Dr. Gablehauser said it was a preliminary match. Would they really get a trophy for winning a preliminary game?

Question: The people are downsized at a cellular level. But unless that means changing DNA, doesn't that mean that children of the downsized would be normal sized? We're shown downsized babies, but would that actually happen?

Question: Why does Dovchenko salute and address Spalko as if she were a superior officer if both have the same rank and are part of the same military company (in which Dovchenko would have more authority, being an army officer, while Spalko is simply a doctor)? A similar case to compare would be Jürgen Voller in Dial of Destiny's prologue, who seems to have almost no authority over soldiers with lower military ranks.

Question: Is it possible that this film had an alternate ending? In the audio of Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Movie on Record (released the same year, 1981), during the opening of the Ark, we can hear sounds, scenes, and screams that never appear in the final film (or in any deleted scenes). Examples of this are the sounds of the spirits, Dietrich's second scream, and Indy saying "You're all right, you're all right" to Marion (she answers "Yes...") after the Ark closes.

Big Game

Question: Apparently, there is a rare TV spot that shows 2 small shots of the scene where breaks down the other door panel, including a creepy smile from Jack, which they didn't include in the final cut. Is there footage of this anywhere online?
