One of the many The 100 plot-holes that I can't stop thinking about:

If cryosleep existed at the time of Eligius, well before the first apocalypse, why didn't the ark have that technology to put people in cryogenic hibernation to conserve oxygen and resources? 🤔

Wild Kratts: Plot-Hole

So I noticed a huge-plot hole in A Creature Christmas. And no, it's not the fact that many baby animals and Creature Powers suddenly appear out of nowhere. That can be chalked up to PBS Kids stupidly deciding to air this as the 3rd episode of Season 4 and airing the debut episodes of the powers and animals more than half a year later.

I'm talking about an in-story plot-hole, one that can be noticed even if you place A Creature Christmas chronologically near the end of Season 4.

Bellyful and Spirit Jr. from Spirit Bear are shown among the captured baby animals. Keep in mind that A Creature Christmas takes place very late within Season 4's timeline: This would mean that the episode takes place after Spirit Bear.

This is where the holes become more apparent.

Spirit Bear introduced Paisley Paver and Rex, the latest villains to appear in the show. Now to re-iterate, A Creature Christmas takes place after Spirit Bear. Meaning by the events of that episode, Paisley Paver is among the Wild Kratts' enemies. Yet she is the only villain that does not appear.

Paisley's absence from the episode, in of itself, is a plot-hole because it raises many questions.

1. Why didn't the villains recruit her then? Zach says he heard about Paisley by the events of Season 5, and Paisley remarks that she's heard of the Wild Kratts, so she should've met with the other villains earlier. It would've also provided more skills.

2. How did the villains know about the Wild Kratts' adventures with Bellyful and Spirit Bear? I can buy the other animals, even Stuffo because the villains have familiarity with the Kratts and each other, so they'd know. But with the bears? Paisley only encountered them and likely didn't tell the other villains because she didn't meet them until Season 5, so how did they find out?

3. Chris states that "all of the villains" are in on this scheme. If you watch Spirit Bear and then this episode in its intended continuity order, you'd know this is not the case. If you watch those episodes from which they aired, you'd have no idea who Spirit Jr. is until some episodes later, but you'd be easily introduced to Paisley.

Either way you order the episodes, they would've spurned some continuity issues.

And the thing is, this problem could've been fixed: Just remove the creature powers and baby animals that don't appear until later on in the season. Not only would it give us a chance to focus on more baby animals and Creature Powers from the first 3 seasons, but it would allow Paisley's incorporation into the series to make more sense.

Is it a "plot-hole," or did IQs just drop sharply while I was away?

Star Wars: The Force Awakens opened on a Wednesday to nearly unanimous glowing reviews from critics and fans alike, but by Friday, while audiences continued to pack theaters, the contrarians, naysayers and misanthropes began to blog about supposed plot-holes and inconsistencies.  Star Wars: The Force Awakens has broken nearly every box office record, and yet, these self-appointed sages point their crooked little fingers at the rest of us, who, like the Emperor in his new clothes, have been duped; only they are clever enough to see the truth. Humbug, I say!

I seriously think that every show needs groups of people whose only job is to read through the scripts and make sure there are no plot holes. For instance, there should be one group who checks to make sure that everything is scientifically accurate (unless it is a sci-fi show), another to make sure everything is historically accurate (unless it is a history AU), and third to make sure it does not contradict already established canon.

If erasing memories is "just what the curse does" (Regina says so in Going Home), how come the forgetting potion was depicted as a nasty wrench Zelena threw in their plans (and not an inherent part of the curse itself) in 3B?

Just one more reason Snow casting the curse makes no sense (as if there weren't enough already).

Ok in Tangled, how does Mother Gothel even figure out that she has to sing to the flower/Rapunzel's hair to get the magic powers to activate?

gossip girl is dan, not jenny

(really?? In her tag it said that she was GG) 

And Dan is better BUT HE STILL DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE.

Case in point: when Agnes drugs Jenny and puts her into a taxi, GG sees this. Are we really supposed to believe Dan pretty much left his little sister be raped, and  then blogged about it?!!?

Rant no. 2974398573975 of the day: Doctor Who

I find it a bit annoying that when The Doctor tells Amy all that stuff about how he only asked her to be her companion because he was lonely, and that he wanted whatever blah blah, and she just believed him. It would have taken a hell of a lot more to sway her belief in him and for the beast thing to go away.

Furthermore, when the beast thing did go away and they were safe, wouldn't have Amy been like 'Oh, he's saved the day again, I can always trust him forever and ever.'? and consequently the beast come back to get them?

Also, how likely is it that the beast bloody keels over and dies just because he's lost one meal?

Sorry DW fans, and correct me if I'm completely off the mark and got it wrong, but this is far too many plot-holes for one episode in my opinion.
