The Tori episodes of SBTB. Zack, Slater, Screech and Lisa have an additional friend they hang around with, yet at no point reference her to Kelly and Jessie, nor vice versa to Tori.
It’s particularly scummy from Zack given he had a thing for both Kelly and Tori at the same time.

Watched Die Hard 2 on Christmas eve.. And one thing that got me is how glossed kvef the bit when the terrorists force a plane loaded with passengers to crash on a runway, causing a massive fireball at a major airport.. Everyone on board is just incinerated. There is a scene of distress in the tower (if you listen closely you can hear someone crying), John McClane picks up a doll amongst the wheckage... But after that.. It's barely brought up again in the about the hour runtime left, there is little media coverage (meaning there is one reporter on the scene), the airport remains open to the public despite a huge avaition disaster just occurring (people only start panicking is when Dick Thornberg finds out the terriost hostsge situation and does a live news cross from a plane toilet).. Then you get the happy “let it snow” ending. While 270 innocent dead bodies are smoulding on a tarmac nearby. Look even pre 9/11 this was bad. I don't mind Die Hard 2.. But shit is it sloppery written. In the pre-internet/cellphone days I can buy there not being massive media coverage. It's snowing out and reporters would have to get from DC to Dulles, which is going to take a while, because Virginia drivers absolutely cannot drive in the snow and that route sucks anyways. It would 100% take an hour or two for the News people to get there. Everything else I agree with though.

Watched Die Hard 2 on Christmas eve.. This one always bugged me too. For me it's in the same vein as the countless movies where a "Good Guy Cop/Solider/Dad/etc" is firing weapons in public and blowing everything to shit and it's just glossed over if it's even mentioned at all. I feel like there's only like 5 movies that actually try to seriously address it. Or the cop ignores everything ever about warrants and law but it's ok because he killed the villain and his 100 henchmen and he got to bone the hot chick. Which is why hot fuzz is the best of those movies as it followed the intense action with them filling out endless paperwork

Wayne’s World 2 just glosses over how Wayne is actually gonna pay for Aerosmith, Pearl Jam and Van Halen to all play by having Jim Morrison say if you book them, they will come as though just saying it means they’ll play for free.

Every Christmas movie where people say Santa isn’t real….but then he is. Why would anyone doubt Santa if he’s real? How could they explain the extra presents?

Maybe if the stuffy chief of police wasn’t so fussy about things being done by the book, things would start getting done by the book.

The Simpsons telling the audience that Homer is a good man despite the fact he regularly physically and emotionally abuses his children as well as exploits them for his own gain.

Autobot City in Transformers: The Movie. We later learn that this is Metroplex. So why not let him transform and lay waste to the Decepticon invasion?
There is also the combiner question.
And yes I know the movie was written before Superion, Menasor, etc. debut. Omega Supreme even. But I'm trying to stick to kayfabe here ;-)

Leia did say she only remembered feelings... So it's not entirely contradictory like some other retcons

In Star Wars, The Kiss...but one need only say, "They didn't know then!" Leia remembering her mother in ROTJ. “Aunt” Beru and “Uncle” Owen: how did they end up with Luke? Seeing as how any blood relationship they had with him has been wiped from existence in the sequels and prequels and they never got so much as a mention after A New Hope, how and why did Obi Wan choose them to raise him? Watched the Harry Potter marathon again over Christmas and during the dragon challenge in the Triwizard Tournament, why did Harry need to summon his broom? Couldn’t he have stayed hidden under the rock and summon the egg to him instead?

ER: I get Doug/Carol not being at Mark's wedding, but no-showing his funeral? That's crap. I get it, they either didn't wanna pay Clooney or Margulies or neither was available....but like, at least either have people who kinda look like them shown from behind, or explain where they are.

The big question, where did Blaster mysteriously disappear to? Presumably stayed behind to supervise repairs on Autobot City and command the garrison, since in the third season be is its commander. In the original script he leads a group of Autobots on Earth that fends off a third attack. The bigger question: what's the deal with Snarl? He's not part of the reinforcements that arrive with Prime, but is seen in the aftermath when the Autobots receive word of Unicron's attack on the moonbases. He's next seen boarding the shuttle during Galvatron's attack but is not present on Quintessa, only to reappear on the commandeered Quintesson ship that lands on Junk, but is not part of the Dinobots' attack on Unicron.

Harry isnt that bright, probably thought he could take on a dragon better if he could fly not realising a.) the dragon could fly. B.) broomstick was made of wood. c.) he should have used yonder shape changing potion to get Hermoine to do all the tasks.
