Questions that will never, ever be answered in story.

Nope, but I swear to god, Tarantino or Jackson said that was the answer to the briefcase question once. No, they weren’t being that serious about it.

I had no idea there was an actual answer to this question. Thanks!

“How many roads must a man walk down?”

There’s plenty of in-film fodder for the interpretation that the whole thing was an hallucination, that he never “time traveled” at all, and the watch was just a watch given to him by a delusional old lady. In the book, it’s explicit, apparently.

Now now, to be fair, your answer is more a response to everything, ever on Lost more than Doctor Who.

True; although now you’ve got me imaging a Lost-Doctor Who crossover, which you have to admit is an awe-inspiring thought.

I imagine The Doctor giving up in disgust. “Nothing here makes any sense! Screw this, I’m leaving.”

Though I bet Kate would manage to do something idiotic that he’d have to rescue her from in his short time on the island.

-Joe

Since when have things not making sense ever stopped him before?

The way I see it, the Doctor solves everything - DHARMA, Others, Jacob, the timey-wimey stuff - within three episodes, explains it all clearly and efficiently, fixes the plane, hops into the TARDIS and leaves. End of story.

(About a piece of Superman trivia)

Remember that starting some time in the 80s (or maybe earlier), pretty much all comic book writers used to be comic book fans who obsessed about that kind of trivia and would eventually find an excuse to sneak it into the comic. This was probably not a good thing for comics as a whole.

In Sweet, at the end, why is Pete wearing that helmet?

Reported to Moderators.

Has this thread been killed then? I don’t know, but I had a good time imagining how epoxy could answer the questions.

Here is a classic: what does Humpty Dumpty pay the words with? Is it some kind of money or something else?

In the Fifth Element…why does talking to Teh Ultimate Evil™ cause Chocolate syrup to drip down your forehead?

Cause anyone dumb enough to do that has shit for brains.

Why **does **God need a starship?

How does a male vampire, such as Angel of the Whedonverse, without any blood flow, have an erection, let alone have sex?

How do they walk around?

Animated by the demon. Magic, inother words.

Angel clearly has blood flow; he bleeds when cut. What he lacks is a heartbeat. Blood courses through his veins by magical means. I expect that in the Buffyverse there is something magical about the heart that must be kept in check for the demon to maintain control. Thus the demon magically keeps the blood flowing but disallows the heartbeat.

This theory is supported by the fact that sleeper holds are shown to work on vampires. They work by cutting of the flow of blood to the brain (unlike a choke which cuts off the supply of air, which Whedon vampires are well established to not require) so clearly there is blood flow.

In Scarface, why the hell didn’t Gina tell her mom she got married?
