** Alternately, the trolls' sense of smell might be sensitive enough to detect changes in human brain chemistry, like dogs can be trained to [[Webcomic:Freefall detect oncoming seizures.]] They aren't detecting Christianity specificall, they're detecting ''monotheism!'' After all, they apparently had the same reaction to a Muslim...

* Kalle's belated admission that [[spoiler: he's a Christian]] seems incredibly ill-timed. However, if he'd previously been a skeptic about such things, his sudden insight into his own beliefs may well have been ''triggered'' by the events of the film: if something as improbable as ''trolls'' can exist, that discovery in itself may have opened his mind to other possibilities ([[IfJesusThenAliens If Trolls Then Jesus]]?).

* Kalle's belated admission Why, in the first troll sequence, does the Tosserlad sniff around hesitantly, instead of [[spoiler:going straight for Kalle]]? It's mentioned, shortly after, that [[spoiler: he's Thomas sung in a Christian]] seems incredibly ill-timed. However, if he'd previously been a skeptic about such things, church teen choir (because his sudden insight into his own beliefs may well have been ''triggered'' by parents forced him to), implying he comes from a Christian family, even though he personally does not believe in God. That's why the events of Tosserlad was hesitating so much, it didn't know who the film: if something as improbable as ''trolls'' can exist, that discovery Christian in itself may have opened his mind to other possibilities ([[IfJesusThenAliens If Trolls Then Jesus]]?).the group was.

* If the Ringlefinch had rabies, why did it go down ''under'' the bridge to attack the goats from beneath? Rabid animals can't swallow water, so they tend to grow distressed around it.

* When told how trolls in fairy tales act like people, Hans immediately says that fairy tales are for kids and don't necessarily conform to reality. Well of course trolls would act like people in fairy tales and be wild beasts in real life; fairy tales also portray ''animals'' as sapient, when they really aren't, so why should trolls be an exception?

** Given how the bridge troll began consuming one of the bait-goats when it was still alive and bleating, maybe the ''jotnar'' caught itself a rabid animal, swallowed it alive, and got bitten on the tongue in the process.

** A blood bank would seem like an unlikely source, since they don't generally ask the religion of the donor. Someone working within the TSS could have easily given it just for this purpose, though.

So how did a solitary troll living in Arctic mountains above the snow line get infected with rabies, let alone an enormous animal that has no natural predators? Norway has officially been rabies-free since the nineteenth century. Did somebody do it deliberately with an agenda?
