** There were a lot more broken Whispering Death eggs that we saw than one would expect for just four. What did happen to all the other ones? We could be looking at another [[Film/JurassicWorld Indominus Rex]] situation.

* The Screaming Death has destroyed at least four islands worth of dragons. It's still alive, still growing. Just how terrifying will it be once fully grown, and how many more islands will be destroyed? Just what will it do when it goes for Berk, or if it heads for any other settled island? How many dragons died when it brought those islands down? Not all of them would of been full adults able to fly as ''Gift of the Night Fury'' showed us...

* The dragon armor from the previous seasons seems to have been forgotten, but remember how much Toothless was itching at it due to both lack of comfort and weight? Combined with an increased number of missions relying on speed or long distance, the armor was simply [[RealityEnsues too cumbersome]] for the dragons to carry that far, were not able to equip in time, or they planned on speed over staying power to capitalize on one of their greatest advantages.

* The series frequently shows Hiccup making spyglasses, which appears to be one of his inventions in-universe since in real life the spyglass was not invented until [[AnachronismStew centuries after the time of the Vikings]]. None of Hooligan Tribe's allies groups are ever shown using these spyglasses, so it seems odd at first that the Dragon Hunters are the only other group that possess them. Until one remembers that Hiccup also uses his spyglasses [[spoiler:as payment when trading items with [[HiddenVillain Johann]]]].

A great point, but it feels more like Fridge Brilliance than outright Fridge Horror. It's also a little clunky and in need of rewording.


* Valka made Hiccup a dragon doll when he was little. A small hint about her back-story way before the second movie was released.

* Valka made Hiccup a dragon doll when he was little. A small hint about her back-story way before the second movie was released. The toy itself is clearly a Deadly Nadder - the very same dragon that Astrid is now riding.



* Similarly, the tradition of [[HornyVikings horns on their helmets]] was probably started to protect a viking's head from being bitten off by a dragon.

** His introduction in Season 1's "Dragon Flower" serves as an effective EstablishingCharacterMoment for Johann, being a gentlemanly but still self-absorbed merchant. The fact that this episode also has him [[spoiler:discreetly selling Mildew a plant that nearly kills most of Berk's dragons takes on a whole new meaning when we learn who's side he's really on]].
** [[spoiler:Throughout the entire series, Johann occasionally causes setbacks for Hiccup and Berk while attempting to aid them on their adventures, sometimes even giving them information that leads them right into their enemies' hands. Following the reveal of his true colours, it becomes apparent that these setbacks [[ObfuscatingStupidity were not accidents]]]].

If the final episode is any indication, Drago doesn't have his Bewilderbeast yet.


* In "Darkest Night", Astrid's idea for what would have happened if Hiccup hadn't shot down Toothless plays out [[InSpiteOfANail extremely close to the original film's events]] only over the course of a single night, even down to the details of Hiccup losing a leg and Gobber making a saddle and tail for them [[note]]The saddle and tail Gobber actually made was directly based off the blueprints that Hiccup had designed first, which he wouldn't have done in this version of events[[/note]]. This seems completely implausible until you remember that ''Astrid'' is the one telling the story. She didn't find out about Toothless until Hiccup was chosen as the winning student in dragon training, so she doesn't know for certain how long it actually took to form their friendship. Other details like the alternate version of her immediately falling for Hiccup [[DefrostingIceQueen when she took a lot longer in reality]] is just Astrid projecting the love that she has for him now.



* Johann notes with obvious suspicion "you knew it was going to do that," after the [[spoiler: Bewilderbeast]] attacks, and in retrospect it makes sense. Krogan knows what [[spoiler: the Bewilderbeast can do, because he's seen Drago's Bewilderbeast in action.]]

Krogan knows what was searching for [[spoiler: the a Bewilderbeast to give to Drago long before enlisting Johann's help, and has likely seen first hand what they can do, do in his search.
