Almost everyone knows Gilligan's Island. But can anyone tell me his full name?  I do not think "Little Buddy" counts!  Can someone possibly provide a reference with Gilligan's full name?
Output: What is Gilligan's full name?
In the movie Kill Bill Vol.1, whenever someone mentions the bride by her name    Beatrix Kiddo   Her name is censored with a beep. Is this explained somewhere in the movie? Or is it just a signature that Tarantino leaves?
Output: Why is the bride's name beeped in Kill Bill Vol 1?
In the iconic Battle of Stirling Bridge scene in the film Braveheart, English heavy cavalry knights charge with a lance in their right hand and a shield in their left hand.   I recently watch this battle scene again and noticed one particular thing: English knights should have carried close quarter melee weapons.   I understand for heavy cavalry, they are supposed to charge towards their enemy over and over again on their horses, but should they not consider taking a melee weapon with them, for example, a mace, a sword or a dagger so that they can defend themselves when they become dismounted.   I think it is a detail Mel Gibson overlooked when making this movie.
Output: Are the cavalry knights missing close melee weapons in Braveheart?
During the first episode of Season 3 of The Walking Dead, I noticed the group is now very cavalier about taking down walkers:    This is a staunch contrast from the first season when they covered themselves in walker parts to get through Atlanta. I don't have that scene handy but, in my mind, it seems like they were very cautious in how they covered themselves (e.g. seemed like they were wearing HAZMAT suits).  I understand that, as time passes, the characters learn more Walker do's and don'ts; but I was under the impression if Walker blood got in their system, they would turn.  Is this true or have I imagined this rule?
Output: As of S03E01, does walker blood have an effect on open orifices/wounds?
At the end of Edge of Tomorrow, if the Omega is killed and the war won, why does Cage go to the camp to meet Rita? Is he not in the camp only because he was arrested?
Output: Why does Cage visit the camp after the Omega is dead?
We all know that Reid has an eidetic memory.  Nevertheless in the very first episode Extreme Aggressor he keeps scribbling into his notebook. Why does he need to take notes even if he will not forget anything?  In later episodes I can not remember seeing him with a notebook.
Output: Why does Reid scribble into his notebook `Extreme Aggressor`
In The Commuter (2018), the train driver just died. Michael wants to detach the last rail car from a moving train. Sam, the conductor, is already on the last rail car where all the passengers have boarded. He says:    "Between the train and the people, I always knew it would be the  train"   and then jumps onto a moving train to get rid of a chain, which happens to be  stuck between two carts, aiding Michael, who had already been trying.  What is the meaning of Sam's words?
Output: What is the meaning of Sam's words?
In the pilot movie "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1973) which preceded the TV series, Steve Austin was a "civilian member" of NASA who had walked on the moon, which justified his role as a test pilot. It was only in the second TV movie, "Wine, Women, and War" that he was changed to have the rank of Colonel. I have not read the Martin Caidin novels, but evidently he held the military rank and background in those.  Is there any evidence in writings about the pilot regarding what scenarios would be possible in future TV movies, shows (if they were already pitching it as a series) if he didn't have the military background? It seems as though they deemed it important in the initial pilot movie that Steve Austin was well-known as an astronaut, but was the cultural backdrop of the end of the Vietnam war part of their initial decision to shed the military connection?
Output: What plot points/cultural significance would making Steve Austin a civilian member of NASA have served?
In The Flash season 4, Thinker forces Barry to come out of the speed force and thus creating 12 different metas who were exposed to dark matter in the bus.   Does he know about the respective powers of each meta beforehand or did he create the metas according to his need?
Output: Does the Thinker know about the power of metas he created
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, after Umbridge made him write with the punishment quill, did he tell Professor McGonagall about it, as Hermione suggested?  And if he did, what was Professor McGonagall's action? Did she have a confrontation with Umbridge?
Output: Harry Potter's detention with Dolores Umbridge
In Pulp Fiction, after Butch returns from the boxing match to his girlfriend in the middle of the night, they engage in a curious conversation about the pros and cons of having a pot belly.  Quoting from the script:   When Butch and Fabienne speak to each other, they speak in   babytalk.   FABIENNE  I was looking at myself in the mirror.   BUTCH  Uh-huh?   FABIENNE  I wish I had a pot.   BUTCH  You were lookin' in the mirror and   you wish you had some pot?   FABIENNE  A pot. A pot belly. Pot bellies are   sexy.   BUTCH  Well you should be happy, 'cause you   do.   FABIENNE  Shut up, Fatso! I don't have a pot!   I have a bit of a tummy, like Madonna   when she did "Lucky Star," it's not   the same thing.   BUTCH  I didn't realize there was a   difference between a tummy and a pot   belly.   FABIENNE  The difference is huge.   BUTCH  You want me to have a pot?   FABIENNE  No. Pot bellies make a man look either   oafish, or like a gorilla. But on a   woman, a pot belly is very sexy. The   rest of you is normal. Normal face,   normal legs, normal hips, normal   ass, but with a big, perfectly round   pot belly. If I had one, I'd wear a   tee-shirt two sizes too small to   accentuate it.   BUTCH  You think guys would find that   attractive?   FABIENNE  I don't give a damn what men find   attractive. It's unfortunate what we   find pleasing to the touch and   pleasing to the eye is seldom the   same.   BUTCH  If you a pot belly, I'd punch you in   it.   FABIENNE  You'd punch me in my belly?   BUTCH  Right in the belly.   FABIENNE  I'd smother you. I'd drop it on your   right on your face 'til you couldn't   breathe.   BUTCH  You'd do that to me?   FABIENNE  Yes!   I am not a native English speaker and thus not familiar with the usual contexts in which the term pot belly is used.  Fabienne and Butch are obviously fooling around (as is indicated by the initial direction in the script), but I was wondering whether there was a hidden meaning to this particular section of dialogue. Is Fabienne asking Butch if he wants to have a baby with her?
Output: Is there a deeper meaning to Fabienne's pot belly talk?
In the 2004 film, The Village, the villagers wear yellow as a "safe" color to protect themselves against the creatures that live in the woods beyond the borders of their village. The color yellow is to show the creatures that the villagers mean them no harm and that peace is to be maintained between them.  Ivy Walker (who is blind) needs to breach the borders and go into the woods. It is revealed to her by her father that the creatures actually do not exist, but they were simply used as a scare tactic to prevent the villagers from venturing into the woods and going to "the towns."  Ivy still wears her yellow cloak. She falls into a hole and gets her yellow cloak covered with mud. Realizing that something is following her, she gets extremely nervous and frantically tries to wipe the mud off of her cloak to reveal that she is wearing yellow.    If Ivy knew that the creatures were not real, why was she trying to reveal the color of her cloak?
Output: Why was Ivy concerned with wiping the mud off of her yellow cloak?
In Independence Day 2: Resurgence, you're the Super Intelligent Hive-Mind Queen. Over a billion entities can be attached to your brain, but far less seem to be in this sequel than the first, so you should have even more available mental power.  Your Mission: Capture and destroy your arch-nemesis and only real threat: The AI Sphere.  Your Situation:  Your mothership has been cold-nuked from within by a valiant ex-President. All of your support staff is assumed injured or dead. Your Primary Planetary Objective is almost complete (mere minutes to go). This will result in the imminent Destruction of the Planet. Better be outside of Earth's gravity well in the next 30 minutes!! You are continuously being strafed by several fighter craft. You are in an inhospitable climate, running across difficult terrain, and you have just crash-landed at several G forces, so maybe you are not at peak physical health? You know exactly where the AI Sphere is. [With Jeff Goldblum], or so you think.  Why do you expend so much time and energy inefficiently chasing a school bus?
Output: Why did the Queen chase the school bus?
In the movie Training Day, Detective Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) took the rookie officer Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) to visit a drug trader under his protection.  The drug trader told the rookie a story, it went something like this:   A guy sees a snail and throws that snail somewhere, and after a long time, the same snail manages to crawl back in front of the same guy, this guy says "what the fxxx is your problem?"   Is this story somehow related to the story line, or is it simply a silly story to toy with this rookie?
Output: Training Day, the meaning of that snail story
In Harold & Muade, Harold gave her a small gift to maude:    Maude:This is the nicest present...that I've received in years.    Maude: (She threw the gift)    Maude: So I'll always know where it is.   What is the meaning of Maude words to Harold after throwing the gift?
Output: What is the meaning of Maude words to Harold after throwing the gift?
Obviously, when Walt shot two of Gus' trustworthy men in Breaking Bad, Gus wanted to kill Walt and have Gale replace him after learning his formula.  However, around the time Gus offers Walt '3 million dollars for 3 months of your time', did Gus plan to continue doing business with Walt after these 3 months, or was Walt just a disposable source of money? At this time, Walt wasn't seen as much of a threat (he wasn't as much of a liability as is in series 4).  So, is there any evidence to suggest that Gus planned to kill Walt (or not) from the start?
Output: Was Gus planning to kill Walt from the start?
In Iron Man 2 (2010), Whiplash (the villain) enters as a track marshal during a race on the Grand Monaco Racing Track, unleashing his weapons on Tony Stark when he's most vulnerable.    But, Tony only decided to race the Stark car minutes before the race, which Whiplash couldn't have known.  Was he able to predict that it was going to happen or is he that lucky? Then, how could Whiplash come so prepared without knowing that?
Output: How did Whiplash know that Tony Stark is going to the racing track?
At the end of the very last episode of Breaking Bad, Walter picks up Todd's phone and answers Lydia's call. He tells her that he poisoned her with ricin.   Why did he do that? Knowing that she'd been poisoned, Lydia could get medical help and survive the poisoning.
Output: Why did Walter tell Lydia what he did to her?

Output: Why Precious stole the file from Weiss's files?
In Suicide Squad (2016), there is a scene where    Harley remembers jumping in what looks like acid containers, followed by Joker. We later see them kissing there, with blue and red paint melted around them in what should be acid, but looks more like milk, and the two of them seem unharmed.   What is the significance of that scene? Was it the final test of Harley's loyalty to Joker and it was never acid in those containers, but only made to look like it was, or am I missing something deeper here?
Output: The acid scene in "Suicide Squad"
Hitler was definitely shot to death by the Basterds but he would have died in the fire anyways. Shoshanna had everything planned well to trap everyone in theatre including her, there was no escape. So when looking at this movie if the parts with the Basterds were removed her plan would have still worked. So were they even needed?
Output: Did the Basterds actually change anything?
In the last episode, they don't actually show Walter White dying. They only show him lying on the floor.  Is it possible for them to continue the story from there?
Output: Is Walter White dead?
In Iron Man 3 Stark first meets this woman (Brandt) who was an Extremis soldier in a bar. He was able to kill her with an explosion.  However, in an earlier scene, another Extremis soldier (Savin) who was also caught up in another explosion, survived. Furthermore, he was also shot in the head by Stark after he killed that Brandt woman but he, again, survived.   Brandt's body was still intact after the explosion whereas Savin suffered more serious injuries (he has a hole in the head after being shot by Stark, for example). How come he survived while the other one didn't?
Output: How come this Extremis Soldier died so easily?
I have watched 6 seasons of Supernatural, and in almost every one of them, Sam and Dean talks about many different kinds of monsters- with different names, killing-methods and habits.  So I was wondering, is there any credibility to that information? I mean, monsters are not considered real by most people (and most probably they aren't), but I do know there are many myths and legends about them- originating from ancient times. For example, in Supernatural, they almost always use salt to keep monsters away, and also the much-used Devil's Trap.  So is this kind of lore real or just made up for the movie?
Output: Is there any credibility to the "details" in Supernatural?
Although there is no disputing the impact that Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park had when it was released in 1992, there has always been one scene that has bugged/perplexed me.  I speak of the climax, when Alan Grant et al are surrounded by the Velociraptors and about to be pounced upon, when suddenly the T-Rex lunges in and 'saves the day'.  It has already been established earlier on the film that the T-Rex telegraphs its approach with thunderous footsteps, and I'm pretty sure that even if the humans were surrounded by malevolent reptiles, they would notice a huge T-rex squeezing in through the front door of the reception center.  Possible explanations include the T-Rex's ambushing skills (as evident in the earlier Gallimimus chasing scene), the afore-mentioned distraction of the Velociraptors, or even a huge suspension of disbelief to better serve the dynamism of the scene.   I don't like the idea of T-Rex just being shoehorned into the scene to add some va va voom, so is there a better explanation?
Output: Where did the T-Rex come from?
In the Season 3 of Game of Thrones, I didn't understand that how the Stark family got two little children of the Lannister family as prisoners?
Output: How did the Stark family capture the Lannister family's children?
Is B Movie a genre of it's own? Are there requirements that get a movie thrown into that category or do the producers specifically set out to make it a B movie?  Netflex will list B horror as one of the genres and I know there is a cult following of B movies.
Output: Is B Movie a genre?
After seeing Men in Black III, I still don't understand why K became such a cranky, stoical figure. It is a question even Agent J was puzzled about!
Output: What happened to Agent K to make him so grumpy and emotionless?
In Justice League, we got to know that Steppenwolf already tried his plan in the past; and the combined power of Amazons, Atlanteans and humans defeated them. But there were others involved too, some major DC characters, one Green Lantern (not sure which one), Zeus and someone with fire arrows and a few more.   So who were these heroes with powers? Are they some DC comics characters? I can identify Zeus but not the rest.     Who was the Green Lantern, that died, in that fight?
Output: What were all the fighters in previous Age of Heroes?
In the finale of the first season of the revamped Dr. Who, we see Rose absorb the Time Vortex of the TARDIS and uses this power to not only evaporate the Daleks, but revive Jack.  Due to this process, Jack becomes immortal.  The question is, what was it about this resurrection that allowed him to be immortal rather than just giving him another chance at life?
Output: How did Rose make Jack immortal?
I don't feel like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire fully explained this. It seems awfully convenient to have a tree where lightning strikes 12 times every hour. What would possibly be the point of this in the "game"? It would only kill someone if they were on it.
Output: What was the purpose of the lightning tree?
After Stephen got shot by Diamond Dog's men right in front of his Brother Bloom he reveals to him that it was only fake blood and he pulled of the ultimate con. He says farewell to Bloom, that he shouldn't ever return to St. Petersburg and cannot see him for some time. But already shortly after, when he is driving in the car with Penelope, Bloom realizes that the blood was indeed real blood and that his brother is in fact dead.  Yet when he sits in the grass crying over his brother, he repeats what Stephen once said:    The perfect con is one where everyone involved gets just the thing they wanted.    seeming appeased and walking into a future with Penelope.  The way he says that and seeing that Penelope is most probably the thing Bloom wanted and vice-versa seems to imply that Stephen also got what he wanted (and thus achieved the perfect con), yet he died. So what did Bloom want to say with that quote? Does this mean that Stephen really wanted to die? But why?
Output: Did Stephen really get what he wanted?
This question is about "End Times", the twelfth episode of the fourth season of Breaking Bad.  When Jesse learned that Brock had been poisoned, he came over to Walt's house to confront him. Walt opened the door holding a gun in his hand.   Even though Jesse was obviously mad at Walt, in a couple of minutes Walt left his gun on a couch and walked away, which allowed Jesse to hold Walt at gunpoint using Walt's gun.   Was that intentional?
Output: Why did Walt leave his gun on the couch when Jesse came to confront him?
I was trying to understand how the main computer at the end of the 3rd part of the Matrix trilogy could kill agent Smith, at the point of programming ( both agent Smith and Neo were programs in that space), when Agent Smith turned Neo into his copy.  How did the main computer realize that? I mean, there were totally a lot of copies of agent Smith, and it could be links that were linking to the main object (real Agent Smith). Or maybe they were independent copies?  They absolutely weren't pointers, because insurance from 1 example hadn't influence on the original.  So how did the computer accomplish this?
Output: How did they kill Agent Smith?
Why did Jon admit that he killed Daenerys in Game of Thrones S08E06? Why didn't he just tell that she flew away with her dragon? He could say that, escape from the Unsullied and then tell the truth. I understand that there was blood and a melted throne, but he could come up with something.
Output: Why did Jon Snow admit his fault in S08E06?
Jurassic World  The Indominus Rex is a genetically modified new kind of Dianosour. Now when Masrani first went to see the Indominus, part of the conversation was like    Masrani: What happened to the sibling?    Claire: She ate it.   So she ate her own kind. Also Owen mentioned in a scene that    Owen: She has seen all of this for the first time. She doesn't   know what she is? She'll kill everything that moves.     Owen: She is learning where she fits in the food chain.   And these lines were true until the Indominus met the Velociraptors. It didn't eat them, it started communication with them. But strangely before that it ate her sibling.  Okay now one explanation can be that part of its genes were Velociraptor, so it communicated with them and eating the sibling was just her hunger. Then why did T-Rex and Indominus fight? Part of her was also from T-Rex. She should've communicated with the T-Rex, too. Something is not right. Why didn't it eat the Velociraptors?
Output: Why didn't the Indominus Rex eat or kill the Velociraptors?
A while ago, I watched The Blu-Ray of Ben Stiller's "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (2013), and I remember it ending as follows:    Walter has the courage to ask out Cheryl, but she declines, because she is already in a relationship. He accepts this and moves on, and we see him meet another potential love interest. Changed by his experience, he has the confidence to talk to her.    However, I recently watched the movie on Netflix (Canada), and it had a different ending:    Walter asks Cheryl to see his sister's Grease play, and Cheryl says yes. They are seen holding hands after they see that Walter is the "Quintessence of Life", and the movie then ends.   The ending I saw on Netflix can be seen here.  Am I confusing this with a different movie? Is the Mandela-Berenstain effect at play here? Or did the Blu-ray contain a different ending (or perhaps multiple endings) compared to what Netflix is showing?  Google has been no help, as most of the search results are about people writing alternate endings for school assignments.
Output: Does "Secret Life of Walter Mitty" have two endings?
I've never understood how Kirk, Spock, and Bones got back to the present at the end of “City on the Edge of Forever”. Going back to 1930 is simple enough, they stepped through the portal at the right moment, but there was no portal on their end! How did they get back?  Finding an answer is proving to be difficult because even after trying numerous search-term permutations, I only managed to find a single mention of the discrepancy.  I can understand if maybe they wanted to focus on the emotion and stuff of the episode, but it's a science-fiction show, and this was one of the first incidents of time-travel in the whole franchise, so getting back is a fairly big issue that can't just be glossed over.
Output: How did they get back in “City on the Edge of Forever”?
In spite of being one of the most hilarious voices in The Big Bang Theory, why was Howard Wolowitz' mother never shown?
Output: Why is Howard Wolowitz' mother not shown in The Big Bang Theory?
In the movie 'The Social Network', in the scene after Fashmash has been created but the algorithm has not yet been coded, where Eduardo Saverin gets back to the dorm and talks to Mark about how he and Erica broke up, Mark asks him how he already knows and Eduardo responds "it's on your blog".  How is it then that even though Eduardo has been on Mark's blog that he is unaware of the fact that Mark has hacked the facebooks for the other houses on campus, or that he's in the process of creating a website to compare women even though Mark has been blogging about his progress?
Output: How is Eduardo unaware of the progress on Face Mash?
At the start of the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie, the Avengers are on a mission, attempting to retrieve Loki's staff from HYDRA. They're attacking a castle which is a HYDRA base run by Strucker and they've got a Chitauri Leviathan corpse at the base.   Presumably this came from the battle of New York from the first Avengers movie, but how did HYDRA get the corpse of a Leviathan out of New York without S.H.I.E.L.D doing anything about it?
Output: How do HYDRA get the Leviathan to Strucker's base?
In the episode The Raiders Minimization of The Big Bang Theory Amy ruins Raiders of the Lost Ark for Sheldon by making the following claim:   Indiana Jones plays no role in the outcome of the story. If he weren't in the film it would turn out exactly the same.    [...]    If he weren't in the movie the Nazis would have still found the Ark, taken it to the island, opened it up and all died... just like they did.   Well, the Ark ending up in the warehouse (probably) wouldn't have happened without Indy, but aside from that, would Belloq and the Nazis have met the same fate even without Indy's meddling?  My question:  Is Amy's assertion correct, did Indiana Jones play no role in the outcome of the story?
Output: Is Amy right about Indiana Jones being irrelevant to the outcome?
In the movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Beetee (played by Jeffrey Wright) comes up with the plan to wrap a wire around the "Lightning Tree", and plant the other end of the wire in the water at the pond (to electrocute their opponents). The group leaves the pond and hikes quite a distance to the tree. They wrap the wire around the tree and then send Katniss back to the beach with the other end of the wire.   So, since they start at the beach, why didn't they leave one end there, rather than repeating the entire hike all over again?  I understand they wanted to separate Katniss from the group.
Output: Why didn't they leave one end of the wire at the beach?
This is very confusing, why would the Disease Department in The Maze Runner unleash a deadly and painful virus when there could have possibly been other ways to control the human population? like executing criminals and stuff like that? and why did the combined governments agree to it when they know that they are risking wiping every trace of human life out of existence?
Output: Why would the Disease Department unleash a disease when there could have been other ways to control the population?
In the very popular TV Series Friends, the character Joey Tribbiani moves out from his small apartment (where he lived with Chandler) to a very big and expensive place when he gets a role in the soap opera "The Days of Our Lives".  When his character is killed in the series, he moves back to the apartment with Chandler.  However, when his character re-emerges, why doesn't he moves back to a bigger and more expensive apartment?  Is there any reference saying that he got a much lower salary this time?
Output: Why doesn't Joey move back to the bigger apartment in Friends?
At the end of the movie 3:10 to Yuma, we see Ben killed his teammate Charlie after failing to save Dan. We have seen that Ben tried to cooperate with Dan during the second half of the movie.

And why did he try to save Dan and kill Charlie? Am I missing something?
Output: Why did Ben try to help Dan?

In Interstellar, after Cooper arrives in the Tesseract, Cooper tries to send the message STAY to his daughter in the past so she won't let him go on the mission. If that was his intention then why did he send the coordinates of NASA afterwards? If he didn't send the coordinates, he wouldn't have found NASA or go into space, he would have stayed.
Output: If Cooper wanted to stay, why did he send the NASA Coordinates?
In Game of Thrones S08E06 we see Jon visit Tyrion    after he had been arrested for treason.   It seems the guards do allow him into the room as Jon hands his sword over to them.   Knowing Tyrion, it's not far-fetched that he'd try to talk Jon into things. Hence my question, did Queen Daenerys allow the visit?
Output: Did the queen allow Jon to visit Tyrion?
Doc Brown has got a time machine, why is he in a hurry in the end of Back to the Future part 1? Why doesn't he just give a parenting lesson to Marty?  A little more context: At the very end of part one, doc goes back to Marty to tell him about his son which is going to jail in the future and they need to stop that to happen. He is really in a hurry, but c'mon, you can wait a couple of days in the present then go back to the future at the very same moment he intended to go in first instance. He has plenty of time to achieve that!
Output: Why is Doc Brown in a hurry in the end of Back to the Future part 1?

Output: Which deception is Matron referring to?
I recently re-watched "Lost" in its entirety for the first time since the show ended. Overall, I appreciated the show, and especially seasons 4-6, a great deal more now than I did during my initial watch. Now I also see that most questions were answered, even though some questions are still left for debate.  One question that I do wish the producers had given a more satisfactory answer to, though, is the connection between Eloise Hawking and MIB's loophole. When Locke leaves the island, he is told by Christian Shephard (i.e. MIB), to find Eloise Hawking in Los Angeles. Eloise is then later paramount in ensuring that the loophole works in that she is insisting that the coffin with Locke's body must be on board the Ajira-flight, thus providing MIB with his "vessel" for completing the loophole. These two facts made me think that perhaps Eloise somehow was cooperating with MIB, but this is never really confirmed, and since we know that MIB can not leave the island, this means that MIB must have "recruited" Eloise before she left the island. But if this is the case, how could MIB know about his loophole-plan years before it manifested? Does MIB perhaps have contact with somebody else off the island who could relay information to Eloise? Or is it perhaps possible that Eloise really had no contact with MIB, and simply insisted Locke's body had to be on the Ajira-flight in order to have a "substitue" for Christian Shephard's body which was on Oceanic 815? Or was she somehow manipulated by MIB without her knowledge through some way never seen on the show?   I really do not find a satisfactory answer to this, so I would love to hear some theories from other people here!
Output: Eloise Hawking's connection to MIB and the loophole
In the film Patriot Games starring Harrison Ford, the terrorist group uses someone inside the police department to obtain the route & arrangements for Sean Miller's transfer. A few lines and glances by Inspector Robert Highland (played by David Threlfall), riding in the van, seem to indicate that he is on Sean's side, or at least understands the IRA cause with the following lines:    Although I disapprove of the things ye've done, Sean, I can't quite  bring meself to condemn ya. I can't... because I understand where the  hatred comes from. I more than understand it.   When the van comes under siege, the officers don't seem to know what's going on, while Highland just keeps looking at Sean as if they both know exactly what's happening. The two officers then wish to hold out for backup, yet Highland orders them to open the doors. During the discussion afterwards, group leader Kevin O'Donnell seems to believe that Highland is an honest cop, asking him how much the English pay him to turn on his own people (Highland is Irish). O'Donnell then hands a gun to Sean Miller and    Miller promptly executes both Highland and the two officers that were in the van.   I haven't read the book, so I'm not sure about the nuanced context here. The lines may simply be Highland attempting to turn Miller so that he'll testify against the rest of his group, but the glances between them - and the actions of Highland himself - don't really make as much sense in that context. Surely the book would explain such details better than the film.  Was Inspector Highland their man inside (and his fate was only to show how insane Miller is) or was he an honest cop?   And, yes, I realize that a different inside man was revealed at the end of the movie. That doesn't preclude the Inspector being one also, though, or at least an IRA sympathizer/mole. Highland's fate also foreshadows that of     terrorist ally Dennis Cooley, who is also executed by Miller.
Output: Was Inspector Highland the inside man?
In Game of Thrones s08e04 we see Varys and Tyrion having a conversation about who would be the best heir for the Iron Throne where Varys seems to try to conspire against Daenerys. Here are the last phrases of their dialogue:    Varys: You know where my loyalty stands. You know I will never betray the realm.    Tyrion: What is the realm? Vast continent home to millions of people most of whom don't care who sits on the Iron Throne.    Varys: Millions of people. Many of them will die if the wrong person sits on that throne. We don't know their names but they are just as real as you and I. They deserve to live. They deserve food for their children. I will act in their interest no matter the personal cost.    Tyrion: So what happens to her? Please ... don't ...    Varys: I have spoken as honestly as I can. Each of us has a choice to make. I pray we choose wisely.   What does Varys's last words exactly mean? What is he planning to do? Does he imply something specific?
Output: What wise choice does Varys intend to make?
Risk seems null when Raul Silva is isolated in a glass cage:    But Silva nevertheless manages to break into the MI6 computer system at that moment. How?   His prosthesis hides a tongue-controlled computer that connects wirelessly to his laptop He had programmed everything in advance (sounds impossible: MI6 just moved, so infrastructure has probably still changed a lot since his arrest) He is helped by his team (improbable: The movie seem to imply that only Q and Silva are hackers) Other?
Output: Is Raul Silva's prosthesis a computer?
In Dark City, everybody seems to have memories of Shell Beach planted by Strangers which doesn't even exist. It also gave the main character a reason for searching it. But why did the Strangers imprint the memory of Shell Beach when they were not even supposed to remember where it exists? Why did the Strangers make this memory loophole?
Output: Why did the Strangers make up Shell Beach in human's heads when they were not even supposed to go there?
Around 1:11:57 into Edge of Tomorrow, Pvt/Maj Cage is on the dropship preparing for another day of combat when a fellow soldier asks him "have you been drinking?"  Given the precarious situation that Cage was in: waking up, branded a deserter, has nothing except the clothes on his back, couldn't even use a telephone, having to roll under a jeep to have any chance of doing something without eyeballs glued on him, why would anyone think he had been drinking? If he had beer/whatever on his breath, where did it come from?  I do not recall anyone else being drunk or drinking: the base was preparing to deploy to the front. It would be reasonable to assume that in such a situation the well-being of soldiers would be paramount. Commanders would not want their soldiers hung over in battle, and even in Britain, I would expect alcohol to be tightly controlled.
Output: Where could Cage get alcohol on base?
In Never Back Down, I don't understand the relationship between Max Cooperman and Ryan McCarthy.  At the beginning of the film scene they appear to be on good terms   Ryan is observing the fight Jake interrupts Max and Ryan are very friendly at the party   However later in the film he becomes friends with Jake and the rivalry develops   He sees (and presumably knows) Ryan beat up Jake in the bathroom He's aware of the rivalry and Ryan's determination He knows of the friction with Baja/Ryan/Jake   Knowing this why would he agree to join Ryan at his house (leading to his hospitalisation)? It he being naive or is this simply being used to tell the story?
Output: Are Max Cooperman and Ryan McCarthy friends in Never Back Down?
In O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Everett and the gang all sing into a can and cut a record with the song "Man of Constant Sorrow". Later on in the movie we see the radio owner and another man talking about signing them to a contract, and then later seeing the records being sold(and constantly sold out!) around the state. Did the actual band ever get a contract signed, or see a dime of the record sales?
Output: Did the Soggy Bottom Boys ever get a record contract?
So, this question is not really about the series the Mentalist, but I think it fits here anyway.  First, I am not from US, so I dont know if CBI really exists or was made up only for the series.  In the series Wayne Rigsby and Grace van Pelt have an hidden relationship because it is not allowed at CBI. Everybody warns them to keep it a secret, because otherwise that would have consequences and one of them would have to leave the CBI.   Is this really a rule at CBI or similar American criminal bureaus? What is the reason for this rule? In Europe I have never heard of such a rule, as far as I know relationships are not forbidden here when working together in a police-like environment.
Output: Is it forbidden to have a relationship in CBI in reality?
In Prometheus, Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway are a couple, in Covenant, Jake Branson and Daniels are a couple, Billy Crudup and Karine Oram are a couple, Tennessee Faris and Maggie Faris are a couple, Ricks and Upworth are a couple, Hallett and Lope are a couple.  It is logical to have married couple boarding colony ships as their trip is a no return.   I am wondering in the Alien universe, having married couple to go onto the same trip is encouraged officially.
Output: Is it a coincidence that there are many couples boarding ships in Alien?
As far as I can tell, Phantasm 1, 3, and 4 are only available on DVD. Is there a reason why this is so? I can't tell if the rights are owned by a different company, but I don't believe this to be the case.   And the second movie is hardly such a classic that it would be included in the Criterion Collection or anything like that.   So what gives?
Output: Why is Phantasm II available on Bluray while the other movies in this series are not?
I just watched Pan's Labyrinth last night. The movie is really good, but I could not understand one thing - the fantasy part with Ofelia, is it happening for real or she is just imagining things?  I ask this because I noted two points in the movie -   When Vidal pulls the mandrake root out of Ofelia's mother's bed it appears to be just a normal root. While whenever Ofelia is seen with it, it does things. In the end when Vidal follows Ofelia to the labyrinth, Ofelia is talking to the faun, but when Vidal looks at it, it appears that there is no one there.   So what's exactly happening? Is Ofelia just dreaming things to get herself in a fairy world, out of her present surroundings or the things happening for real but visible only to Ofelia?
Output: What is going on in Pan's Labyrinth?
I just watched Arrival. A great Movie and quite deep on many levels too. Requires watching a few times. Anyway, we see that as Louise learns the alien language, she starts seeing the future, or rather sees time as non-linear. My question is, that it seems that she is not the only one who learns their language, the Chinese and Russians seem to have communicated with them too and thats besides Ian, who learns the language together with Louise.  So why is she the only one who now has a new perception of time? We know the others don't because she was the only one who spoke to the Chinese general, Im pretty sure the Chinese scientists were a lot closer. Also, Ian didn't see their daughter dying, only Louise did.
Output: Why was Louise the only one who advances her mind?
According to the TARDIS Data Core there was about two or three years between the appearance of the 9th doctor and his regeneration. From the same source we can estimate that the 10th doctor lived around seven or eight years.  However the doctor claimed to have lived in his 11th incarnation for around three hundred years!  Why would Matt Smith's incarnation of the doctor live so much longer than his 9th or 10th, given Matt Smith and David Tennant portrayed the character for roughly the same number of episodes?
Output: Why did the 11th doctor live so long compared with his predecessors?
I'm aware of "How do they film scenes with the actors driving in a car?" in this site, but I'm more interested in the "why", not the "how".  Is it illegal to just drive a car recording/action without permissions in most jurisdictions? (this happens in many countries) Safety concerns? Or maybe it's just cheaper?
Output: Why are most scenes in a car recorded with chroma?
In episode 10 of season 2 we witness the encounter between one of the Night King's "officer" and Samwell Tarly.       However, since then, Samwell had time to make it back to the wall, meet Gilly and her child, leave the night's watch, travel it to the Citadel, study to become a Maester, leave the citadel etc.   Now, even after all this time, we see in episode 6 of season 7 that the army of the dead has not even reached the wall yet. Considering the fact that the army of the dead is made out of undeads who don't need (or at least I don't think so) to frequently stop to eat or rest, I was wondering how they haven't made it to the wall yet.   I thought that they maybe could've been retained from heading to the wall by the some of the 3 eyed raven's magic, but even then, Bran had the time to make it back to the wall by being pulled by a young girl on a sled.   I feel like I am completely missing out on some basic plot hole and that this question is actually super easy to explain but unfortunately, I truly cannot recall any events that could explain this.  Edit: Regarding the accusations of this question being a duplicate of (Why is the Night King so slow?). From what I understood, that other question was addressing more precisely why the night king ACTS as slow as he does, notably in ep6 of season 7 when he attacks Viserion. My question is more looking at why it took the night king more or less 5 seasons for him to reach the wall while Samwell did it in barely 1. I researched before posting this question and unfortunately that other question did not answer at all what I am asking here...
Output: How is the night king not at the wall yet?
In the movie Deathly Hallows Part 1, Harry Potter did not disguise himself using polyjuice potion at the wedding of Bill and Fleur. But in the book he was disguised as a cousin of the Weasleys, Barny Weasley, because there were threats.  Shouldn't he have disguised himself, as Death Eaters might be around looking for him? Why did they not take that matter seriously in the movie?
Output: Why did Harry not use Polyjuice Potion at the wedding of Bill and Fleur?
In the movie Interstellar it's shown that after Cooper fell into the Black Hole, he communicates with his daughter Murph through some codes as Ghost. My doubt is how can he communicate to his daughter before he goes into space? I didn't get the logic of that part. Can anyone please make it clear?
Output: How can Cooper communicate with his daughter before the time he went to space?
I recently learned about a twist ending, a twist in a plot that happens near the end of a film.  If a twist ending happens near the end of a series of films, is it still called a twist ending?  The plot the led to this question was Harry Potter where we find out Snape is actually a 'good guy. If this isn't a twist ending what could we call it?
Output: Is a twist ending that occurs at the end of a series of films still called a twist ending?
Apparently Scarlet Witch does have the ability to fly. She's clearly levitating in this particular scene from Avengers: Age of Ultron which I didn't notice until I watched AoU for the 4th time today. I know she has the ability to fly in the comics but why didn't she attempt to fly prior to this scene in AoU?
Output: If Scarlet Witch of MCU has the ability to fly, why didn't she attempt to fly earlier?
In The Dark Knight's fundraiser scene where Bruce Wayne invites many people for Harvey's fundraiser, Joker attacks the place with his goons, looking for Harvey. When Bruce sees this, he catches Harvey from the back and locks him up in a safe room.  When he is dragging Harvey, Rachel says in a surprising manner "What are you doing?" and Harvey was not unconcious at that time. So clearly Harvey knows that Rachel knows, who locked him up.  After this we don't get to know how Harvey felt about the incident. What was he told? Did he know that it was Bruce who locked him up or did he think that it was Batman? If he knew that it was Bruce Wayne, how come he had no questions about that, because it was a very unusual act from Bruce Wayne.
Output: Did Harvey Dent know that it was Bruce Wayne who locked him up?
In the television series Supernatural, at what point of time and during which season did Sam lose his powers?  EDIT: I mean to ask whether it was around the time Sam was brought back from hell without his soul by Cass, that he completely lost all his powers?
Output: When does Sam lose his psychic powers?
In the opening scene of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a team inside a submersible collected a sample of the I-Rex's bone so that its DNA could be extracted. How did they know that the I-Rex was eaten by the Mosasaurus and its bones were at the bottom of the lagoon?
Output: How did they know where to locate the Indominus Rex's corpse?
In The Flash S04E17 Null and Annoyed, there is a conversation between Ralph and Barry as such:    An improv group made up of superheroes? We can take it to Washington.  - We'd be the DC Comics.  - No, Ralph.   Usually the Arrowverse shows reference Marvel comics and it could be taken as the comic medium that the DC universe people reads... However, how does the "DC" universe have DC comics? Is this an oversight from the showrunners or are they referencing another DC comics that I do not know about?  TLDR: How does DC Comics exist in the DC universe (or) Are they referencing another DC comics?
Output: DC comics in Arrowverse?
About 13 minutes into I Am Legend Robert Neville has a flashback where he starts to rescue his family. While he loads them into the car, the camera cuts to two soldiers and one says to the other "Can't get used to the new rags." and makes a jerking motion across his face.  What is he talking about?
Output: Why can't the soldier "get used to the new rags"?
When Thanos arrived at Titan Dr. Strange said "You look more like a Thanos" as if he had seen him for the first time. On the contrary Dr.Strange went ahead in time to see the possible outcomes and he must have seen Thanos in it. Is this a movie plothole?
Output: Why did Dr. Strange make the comment "You look more like a Thanos"?
In Wes Craven's New Nightmare, when Heather meets Wes at New Line, they talk about making a new movie to make Freddy stop.  At the end of this sequence, we can see that Wes is actually writing the script of "New nightmare". The dialog shown on the screen is literally what has just been said: (1:04:50)     This sequence ends with a fade to black, as written on the script.  I'm a bit confused about this part of the movie. At this point, is Wes both inside the movie, and writing the movie?
Output: Is the script Wes Craven is writing on his computer the movie itself?
