This is more representative of foreshadowing than Fridge.


* In [[Recap/CowboyBebopSession1AsteroidBlues "Asteroid Blues"]], Katerina (Asimov's heavily pregnant wife) [[OneDrinkWillKillTheBaby orders a bloody mary]] at the bar, prompting stares from the three men playing poker there. While 'bloody mary' later proves to be a euphemism selling Red Eye, it's the first hint that [[PillowPregnancy she isn't actually pregnant]].

* In Cowboy Funk, Teddy Bomber states that everyone with a price on their head is afraid of getting caught by either Spike or Andy. This is because while Spike is an expert not known for being gentle with his captures, being caught by an idiot like Andy would likely be just plain embarrassing.

*** In the same vein would be Andy's choice of weaponry: a revolver, sensible enough; and a ''grenade launcher.'' At what point in capturing a human being would that even be helpful, if not counterproductive?
* In "Speak Like A Child" The beta tape and beta player are delivered by two different delivery companies, one has a tortoise as a mascot, the other a hare. [[ItWasHisSled Guess which one arrived first?]]

** In [[Recap/CowboyBebopSession11ToysInTheAttic "Toys in the Attic"]] Spike learns the lesson of "Don't leave stuff in the fridge.". His philosophy is "be like water", trying to draw a universal lesson from a single incident would be limiting, preventing you from adapting to every situation as needed.



* In "Pierrot Le Fou," Tongpu/Mad Pierrot hangs out in an amusement park. Of course it makes sense for a mad clown to hang out in an amusement park. But then consider that [[spoiler:Pierrot's mind has regressed to that of a child. Where else would a child be happier than at Space Disney Land?]]

* In the movie, Ed and Ein follow Lee's scent all over the city-specifically, to the front doors of two men, one in a robe, the other in [[BlatantLies sexy]] negligee, but both very muscular. [[BrainBleach What was Lee doing there?]].
** [[LGBTFanbase Your mileage may vary on this.]]
* Also in the movie, Ed retrieves the presumably nano-virus containing capsule from the vase with her mouth.

Couple of corrections, and the episode screenwriter publicly denied any intentional Batman references soon after the series ended.

* Faye is [[OlderThanHeLooks physically younger than her true age]] thanks to cryogenic hibernation, but even then, it's implied there's been a bit of time between since she's woken up and her time on the Bebop. Infact, with [[LettingHerHairDown her hair not fashioned up by the headband,]] she pretty much looks identical to the day the Gate Accident happened, even despite at least a year or two passing by since she was awakened and all the crap and stress she's been through. The only other notable Gate Accident survivor in the series was a child with a piece of the Gate embedded in him and causing {{Immortality}}. Was Faye's aging slowed down potentially?

** Wen's case is heavily implied to have been a freak occurrence, and Faye's accident was unrelated to the Gate Accident, happening several years earlier.



** Not to mention that Spike misses out on a lot of bounty payments because he ends up ''killing'' the bounty head. He is a former assassin, after all.

-->Gren: Once she heard [the music box] was from Vicious, she told me to open it.
** Why would she do that? It could have been because she knew Vicious was, well, Vicious. Or, Vicious could've done the same thing to her. We're shown a music box in her apartment once. And we were never told how Vicious found out about Spike and Julia. Vicious was probably eavesdropping on both of them. Julia because he didn't trust her, and Gren because he was framing him.

** Keep in mind though that this is a series from TheNineties based on films and genres from TheSeventies and secondly, [[spoiler: that Faye has retrograde amnesia and doesn't remember what it was like pre-Gate disaster]]. So that's a bit of a stretch, especially as [[spoiler: Gynecomastia]] is still pretty unusual.

** [[spoiler: Gynecomastia happens nowadays though (and isn't necessarily a sign of being intersexed) - enough to warrant advertising for lawsuits so it's not like it's futuristic.
