Empire Strikes Back

 

Luke clearly says regarding the AT-AT's... "That armour is too strong for blasters... rougue group, use your harpoons and tow cables."

 

Yet when one of them falls down two Snow Speeders using "blasters" blows it up. doh!

 

Nit-Pick :banana:

In the first Matrix. When Morpheus brings Neo into the Matrix

to explain to him what it is.

 

He says: "There are fields...endless fields,

were human beings are no longer born. We are grown.

For the longest time, I wouldn't believe it...and then I saw the

fields with my own eyes. Watch them liquefy the dead, so

they could be fed intravenously to the living."

 

"Liquefy the dead" So, if they liquefy the dead.

Why did the machines just flush Neo when he was first

awakened in his pod and just dump him a sewer where

he could easily be picked up Morpheus's ship?? Instead

of putting him through a "shredder / food processor"

on his way down to be liquified into food???

 

I took it that the Nebuchadnezzar crew had hacked his pod once he removed himself from the Matrix.

 

Doesn't that flying mechanical spider-thing come and unscrew his neck plug-in dealio?

 

Neo wasn't dead. Hence, not liquefied. Rejects of the system get flushed. They end up in Zion. Morpheus withholds the information regarding the existence of Zion from Neo in the first movie.

 

So because he wasn't dead, they didn't liquefy him?? They just let him

go to be able to live in Zion?? Doesn't make sense!!

 

If that's the case and the rejects of the system are allowed to go and live in Zion,

then why are the agents constantly trying to get the codes to

destroy Zion and all the people who live there?? Why not just kill

the rejects of the system right away instead of adding them to the population

of Zion and the rebellion.

Star Trek

Chekov is able to find and beam Kirk and Sulu in the Enterprise while they fall from the sky but is not able to beam Spock's mother that is right beside all the other Vulcans who get beamed successfully...just because the rocks under her starts to fall.

 

A Supernova is not a surprise. it announces its arrival millions of years in advance. There is no reason for all Romulans to die to a Supernova when primitive humans of the 21st century can already know when a star will die.

 

 

Nero's motivation is totally beyond comprehension. He has been waiting for 25 years in the past just to take revenge on the man who attempted in vain to save his planet. Couldn't he and his crew have done something much more useful, such as going back to the 24th century, a few years before the disaster would happen, and warn their people in time? He and his men could have had a good time, regardless which version of the 24th century they returned to, but instead of that they waste 25 years.

Jurassic Park – The scientists clone dinosaurs from the DNA in the blood in a preserved prehistoric mosquito. The problem is that blood cells in many animals (humans included) don’t carry DNA, and when they do they don’t carry nearly enough that the frog DNA they use to fill in the gaps wouldn’t dominate the bits of dinosaur DNA. Plus, of course, they would have no way to determine which DNA strands came from which dinosaur — and which from the mosquito itself!

Spider-Man 2 - Doctor Octavius is trying to find Spider-Man, and Harry suggests he talk to his good buddy Peter Parker, because Pete is always taking photos of Spider-Man. Doc Ock promptly finds Peter and Mary Jane at a coffee shop, and introduces himself by throwing a car at them through the window, which would certainly have killed them if Peter hadn’t been Spider-Man, sensed the danger, and pulled himself and MJ to the floor. But Doc Ock has no idea that Peter is Spider-Man, so why would he try to kill the person he wants help from?

Star Trek II & Star Trek III - At the end of STII, the Genesis device creates a planet out of the Mutara nebula and the USS Reliant, right? And that’s fine as far as it goes, because scientists do in fact think that planets form out of nebulae. There’s just one tiny little question, though: Where did the sun for the planet to orbit come from? It sure wasn’t there before the device detonated, and if the device could create a star from a nebula, you’d think Carol Marcus would’ve mentioned it.
