History Fridge / ToBoldlyFlee

* Why is Paw aware of Linkara owning a spaceship, despite never watching ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' & having no knowledge of the show to the point he thinks Linkara reviews ''lamps''? Well, Linkara ''has'' used the spaceship to bully the other contributors so he could win arguments in the past, word probably spread amongst the reviewers.

* Prior to the release of ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', the Nostalgia Critic was involved in a lot of crossovers. Now, with the knowledge that Doug was retiring the character after this movie, take another look at some of the reviews & who the crossover was with - ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'' with WebVideo/DiamandaHagan; Count Chocula with the Maven of the Eventide, ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Digi]][[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 mon]]: TheMovie'' with WebVideo/JesuOtaku; and ''Film/TheWiz'' with WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows. They were all reviewers that Doug had never worked with[[note]]Whilst Todd & the Critic were both in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', they never interacted[[/note]] before, be it in a crossover or an anniversary special - he was giving everyone a chance to get a crossover with the character before he hung up the tie. Like the [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]], he was saying good-bye in his own way.

* Think back to the end of Kickassia. Who were the three people to claim ruler after The Critic was overthrown? Nostalgia Chick, Linkara,and Cinema Snob. The people with the site that Doug has worked most with in crossovers would be those three (Nostalgia Chick did Fernguly, Thanks For The Feedback, Armageddon/Bratz, and Alvin & the Chipmunks), Linkara (Superman IV, Alone In The Dark, Bum Review of Harry Potter 7 pt. 1, and Star Trek 9) and The Cinema Snob (Leprachaun, The Mime Skit, the Brad Tries Pizza Beer crossover, the Jaws III, Tommyknockers, and Transformer cartoon cameos, and the 80s Dan cameos in Temple of Doom and Scooby Doo). If you think about it, those three really did succeed The Critic.

* In Oancitizen's speech on good cinema, its somewhat curious that he lists ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Return of the King]]'' as one of his examples; as he himself states in the commentary, while ''Return of the King'' is a very good movie, it isn't exactly one of the greats. However, look at the context- its being compared to the ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movies. The point of that line isn't to say "''Return of the King'' is one of the greatest movies", its to say that, even in the infamously low-though-put-in sci-fi/fantasy action blockbuster genre, for every brain-dead bag of popcorn there is a movie of outstanding objective quality out there.

** [[FridgeBrilliance Fridge]] [[CrowningMomentofFunny Funny]]: and he does it by giving his best "I AM A MAN!" punch.

* If the whole thing about [[spoiler:Ma-Ti importing his character into Spoony before dying]] really happened, it puts a whole new spin on the ending of ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', when [[spoiler:Spoony breaks down and shouts "Ma-Tiiiiiiii" in the middle of one of his reviews for no evident reason]].
* [[spoiler:The death of WebVideo/ThatSciFiGuy]]. Think about it, it's Sci-Fi Guy. This is the guy who has built up his review career on exactly what they're going into. If Sci-Fi guy had made it onto the ship, he might have noted all the twists and turns, so that despite the plot hole, he would know all the bizzare Sci-fi tropes and been able to report them safely before they got out of hand. He probably also had to go as he would have been something of a GameBreaker if he'd made it on board.

* Why does no-one figure out that [[spoiler:Linkara has been replaced by Mechakara]]? Well, Spoony ''was'' the only one to meet him previously, and he's in federal custody at the time. And would ''you'' really leap to the conclusion that your co-worker is a robot after he's said two weird lines?
* This movie offers an explanation for the RunningGag about Ma-Ti being Brazilian in the cartoon, but his live-actor being of Indian descent in this continuity: [[spoiler:The original Ma-Ti must have nerd-melded with Bhargav at some point, allowing the character to live on.]] However, this brings up the FridgeHorror of [[spoiler:the idea that Spoony's mind and personality could possibly be erased/subordinated to Ma-Ti's, allowing Ma-Ti to live in Spoony's body.]]

* Remember that the story arc in progress on ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' is confirmed to be set after ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' ends and deals with the idea that [[spoiler:Linkara is slowly undergoing a FaceHeelTurn]]? Makes [[spoiler:nobody realising he's been replaced by Mechakara]] all the more chilling, since everyone thinks [[spoiler:it's actually in character for Linkara to act like that]]; effectively meaning that ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'' is providing some {{Futureshadowing}} to the ongoing ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' plot.

* The Executor being revealed as a [[spoiler:sleazy, affable politician/Director of MPAAA]] seems a little out of place considering Executor's shtick of "Darth Sidious {{Expy}}". Then you remember: [[spoiler: Before he became The Galactic Emperor, Sidious had a double-life as a sleazy, affable politician (As Chancellor Palpatine) and a Sith Lord (As Darth Sidious leading the Separatists behind the lines), playing both sides to further his agenda. Exactly like The Executor has with Christopher Dod/The Executor identities]]. The {{Expy}} evolves even further.
* There is a reason that Nostalgia Chick and [[spoiler: Todd]] are assimilated and no one noticed. Nostalgia Chick always acts all aloof and emotionless and had even tried to kill Nostalgia Critic during Kickassia. [[spoiler: And no one really knows Todd. In fact, with all the critics putting on costumes, his turning into Robocop didn't really stand out.]]

* Lupa and Todd briefly quip that Todd could only date the Nostalgia Chick in some bizarre alternate universe. At first, this just seems like RealitySubtext, but really, it works as perfect foreshadowing for the fact that [[spoiler:the real world ''is'' an alternate universe beyond the Plot Hole]].
* Phelous's final rank was Jesus but [[spoiler:the Nostalgia Critic merged with the plot hole & thus still outranks as he's now AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence becoming part of the fabric of the universe]].

* A lot of people find it disheartening that only Film Brain seems to know or care about Critic [[spoiler: dying]], but watch the scene where they return to Earth again - Snob somberly notes that they're back [[spoiler:where they fought Malachite & the Critic started "this whole mess"]], and nobody asks if [[spoiler:the Critic made it, just Spoony, despite knowing that ''both'' were in the plot hole]] - No-one wants to say it, but they're all aware that [[spoiler:the Critic's dead]], especially after [[spoiler:Santa Christ drops off Spoony, who had been left at his toy factory by the Critic without any sign of the Critic himself]].

* The Nostalgia Critic has done what [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall The Entity]]]] could not: [[spoiler:Become the universe]].
** [[FridgeBrilliance Fridge]] [[CrowningMomentofFunny Funny]]: and he does it by [[spoiler: giving his best "I AM A MAN!" punch]].
*** In other words, [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis he punches reality]].]]
** The Nostalgia Critic [[spoiler:managed to enter the real world.]] In other words, he was ''literally'' [[spoiler:Atop the Fourth Wall]]!
* In the commentary for the Nostalgia Critic's ''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie'' review, Doug and Rob said that the final scene of the review was originally planned to be the end of the Nostalgia Critic. If you look at that ending and compare it to the ''To Boldly Flee'' ending, [[spoiler:they're almost mirror images of each other[[note]]Both endings involve being warped to a normal looking yet surreal world, a conversation with people who look just like him, and a transformation that takes him across the stars[[/note]], the difference being that he met a, for lack of a better word, [[TalkingPoo crappy]] end induced by an incredibly horrible movie, while his end in ''To Boldly Flee'' was of his own choice, saving everyone while finally finding peace.]]
* In the past year, Doug took every opportunity (Facebook posts, Disneycember and his non-WebVideo/BumReviews) he could to prove that he's charming, intelligent and one of the nicest guys ever. Good on him, because otherwise [[spoiler: his appearance in part eight]] would have likely been considered an idealized self-insert rather just him being his usual calm, eloquent, non-condescending self.
* During the last scene of part 8 what do the cast do while they are hurtling towards the plot hole? They wax nostalgic about their first reviews and old projects. Why the brilliance? [[spoiler: They are about to enter a version of their universe which has been absorbed into the Nostalgia Critic]]
* Prior to the release of ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', the Nostalgia Critic was involved in a lot of crossovers. Now, with the knowledge that [[spoiler:Doug was retiring the character after this movie]], take another look at some of the reviews & who the crossover was with - ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'' with WebVideo/DiamandaHagan; Count Chocula with the Maven of the Eventide, ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Digi]][[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 mon]]: TheMovie'' with WebVideo/JesuOtaku; and ''Film/TheWiz'' with WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows. They were all reviewers that Doug had never worked with[[note]]Whilst Todd & the Critic were both in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', they never interacted[[/note]] before, be it in a crossover or an anniversary special - [[spoiler:he was giving everyone a chance to get a crossover with the character before he hung up the tie]]. Like the [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]], he was [[spoiler:saying good-bye in his own way]].

* After asking [[spoiler:the Writer]] what's going on after Ma-Ti leaves the PlotHole, and [[spoiler:the Writer]] pretty much says that the Critic's universe is screwed, the Critic responds with, "God, [[spoiler:your]] movie sucks". That's right, the last film the Critic criticized was his SwanSong movie.
** Made funnier by the announcement of The Nostalgia Critic Reloaded, a DVD which would have him doing episodes on [[spoiler:the three anniversary movies.]]

* In the past, Critic has been accurately regarded as a black hole of need, as he even called the loveless and emotionless V'Ger in ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'' his perfect woman. So it's only fitting that his final fate should be [[spoiler: selflessly merging with an actual Hole and staying there to protect his friends]].
* While [[spoiler: Doug]] is talking, you might notice all the cars driving by in the window behind him. You might also remember that when Critic or any other character went out in [[spoiler: their world]], barely anyone else was there. It's a nicely subtle showing of [[spoiler: Doug's point, that reality consists of people just going about their lives]].
* There is a possible reason for why Mechakara's [[spoiler: head went boom]] when [[spoiler: Nostalgia Chick gave off a high pitched scream]]. He's complained so often about Linkara's voice that he might have ''really'' good hearing. Well, except when he's plotting with someone.

* It always struck this troper as odd that Terl - a hater of mankind - would never question the Executor. After all, the Executor is [[spoiler: Christopher Clod, a human from Hollywood]]. Terl probably always saw the Executor in his robe, so it's possible that all he saw from the Executor is that chin, that mouth, and partly that nose; all this which still hints strongly at a human being. And then, it became quite clear. A lot of alien beings resemble humans, at least partly. All the Kryptonians - Superman and Zod being the best example - are just like human beings in appearance (it,s even a surprise that Terl doesn't question Zod's appearance at the end of Part 2, since he looks so human). Terl himself look enough like a human being to get the point further (it was the case even in Battlefield Earth, in fact). Terl probably went under the assumption that the Executor was from one of those [[HumanAliens alien species that look a lot like humans.]] Oh, if only he knew...

* When 8-Bit Mickey comes back and tells everyone where Spoony is being held captive, [[spoiler:all while being covered in blood and holding the severed hand of Prick]], the first thing that comes to the minds of both Nostalgia Critic and Cinema Snob is that [[spoiler:Prick [[BerserkButton made a short joke to Mickey]]]], explicitly noting that "[[spoiler:Someone must have called him short again]]." The operative word being "[[spoiler:[[NightmareFuel again]]]]".

* [[spoiler: Todd's assimilation is even more disturbing when you remember that Alex Murphy was basically beyond repair when he was killed, and only retained parts of his brain, face and nervous system when he was converted into Robocop.]]

* Before, there were just slight inconsistencies. [[spoiler:The TGWTG[=verse=] is now actively and completely unstable, and chaos rules.]] That's...that's kind of horrifying.

** The creepier implications are concerning [[spoiler:the Nostalgia Critic effectively ''becoming'' the universe]]. Assuming that [[spoiler:the Plot Hole only swallowed the main universe and not alternate universes like [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Vyce's territory or the Mirror Universe]]]], and that the current [=AT4W=] plotline (chronologically taking place after these events) invokes another universe, does that mean that extra-dimensional visitors/invaders are [[spoiler:invading the Nostalgia Critic on a cosmic level]]?
* After seeing what happened in Part 8, it's definitely a good thing that the Exit Strategy's crew didn't [[spoiler:immediately]] activate the thermal detonator that Mechakara ate. [[spoiler:It's doubtful that the Exit Strategy would have fared much better than the Death Bomb.]]
* There's a horrible one that could be the reason why Spoony is no longer part of the gang in the 'verse. What happens to him at the end of the movie? [[spoiler:He mentally regresses. The implication is that Spoony is ''physically incapable of functioning as he used to'']]. Given his departure from the site, it's much, ''much'' HarsherInHindsight.

* The Nostalgia Critic's line of [[spoiler:return never being an option for him]] and his decision to [[spoiler:merge with the Plot Hole]] gets reinforced with a line in the Scooby Doo review. "[[spoiler:EVEN THOUGH, EVERY FUCKING DAY HE EXISTS, HE WISHES HE DIDN'T HAVE TO! HE WISHES HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS BULLSHIT...]]"
* I was confused as to the whole 'remember' ArcWords, but it all finally made sense with the NC's final line after he's [[spoiler:become one with the universe]] "I am the Nostalgia Critic". Go ahead and finish that line...[[spoiler:He remembers it, so we don't have to.]]

** [[spoiler: Well, it's a moot point now, because Douchey took NC's place, and we don't have to worry about him seeing his friends pass on because he has none.]]
* The Plot Hole allows one to [[spoiler:enter into RealLife and AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence]]-let's just say that we're ''very lucky'' that one of the villains didn't discover this(could you imagine '''Mechakara''' [[spoiler:[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou in the real world?!]]]])

* [[spoiler: Edward is still present in Jesu Otaku's head at the end of the movie, she can apparently take over whenever she wants, and Jesu has no idea that Edward is in her head- she also has no memory of anything that happened while Edward's in control.]] This really can't end well.

* After a good portion of his face is burnt off and body damaged, Mechakara arises with a look of pure rage and hatred mixed with high octane NightmareFuel. Keep in mind that Mechakara is actually an evil alternate universe version of Linkara's RobotBuddy Pollo, who has his moments of being a DeadpanSnarker but [[TrueCompanions cares about Linkara above all else]] and even pulled off a HeroicSacrifice reminiscent of Spock's from ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' in AT4W. Just what exactly happened to Mechakara that made him so enraged?! And what did alternate-Linkara do to him to make him this way anyway?!

* When Luke is learning the ways of The Plot at Oancitizen's hands, it's done in the same way as John Murdoch's training in ''Film/DarkCity''. ''Dark City'' came out in 1998, the same ere as films such as ''ThePhantomMenace'', ''Film/LostInSpace'' and later ''Film/TheMatrix'', all films which were derivative of other works (One a TV adaptation, the other a prequel of an existing trilogy, and many would argue that ''Film/TheMatrix'' is largely derived from ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'', as possibly lampshaded by Marz Gurl's costume.) ''Dark City'' was critically acclaimed, and an original and creative piece, unlike the other (arguably) derivative films. Not only would this explain why Oancitizen would use its methodology, as it appeals to his High Brow sensibility, but it also explains why it would be the light side of The Plot - as opposed to the profit-driven machinations of the dark side.

*** In other words, [[spoiler:[[InfiniteCrisis he punches reality]].]]

* Of course Film Brain would be terrified at seeing the [[TheLastAngryGeek Last Angry Geek]]'s ghost. He still remembers what the Geek [[BrainwashedAndCrazy did to him]] as [[WebVideo/SuburbanKnights Cloak #1]]

** Given that TheLastAngryGeek becomes a ghost after his death, it is possible that other reviewers will become "one with the plot" and attain a similar status. It is also possible that the Critic would be able to create some sort of afterlife for them. One should also remember that an immortality spell exists in the Awesomeverse and some of the reviewers do have access to magic.

* Prior to the release of ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', the Nostalgia Critic was involved in a lot of crossovers. Now, with the knowledge that [[spoiler:Doug was retiring the character after this movie]], take another look at some of the reviews & who the crossover was with - ''WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal'' with WebVideo/DiamandaHagan; Count Chocula with the Maven of the Eventide, ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Digi]][[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 mon]]: TheMovie'' with JesuOtaku; and ''Film/TheWiz'' with WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows. They were all reviewers that Doug had never worked with[[note]]Whilst Todd & the Critic were both in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'', they never interacted[[/note]] before, be it in a crossover or an anniversary special - [[spoiler:he was giving everyone a chance to get a crossover with the character before he hung up the tie]]. Like the [[Series/DoctorWho Tenth Doctor]], he was [[spoiler:saying good-bye in his own way]].

* The sugar disrupting the laser cannons may seem like an odd and funny gag, until you realize that something similar was talked about in ThomasTheTankEngine's movie. The scene was just playing off the absurdity and see how they can pull it off.

* Why is MarzGurl the one to continuously direct combat plans for the ''USS Exit Strategy''? During her time in WebVideo/{{Kickassia}}, she was the head of the military!

** This could also be part of the reason Linkara was swapped with Mechakara. Not only does it a) allow him to act as TheMole and b) take comicron-1 and the Arsenal of Freedom out of the equation, but it also neutralizes a known [[Franchise/StarTrek trekkie]] / [[Franchise/DoctorWho whovian]], further diminishing the crews {{GenreSavvy}}-ness.

** Beyond which, if Paw's been monitoring space with Angry Joe and the others, they're probably perfectly aware of the big honking spaceship in Earth's orbit. Heck, Joe was the one to capture it in the battle.
* If the whole thing about [[spoiler:Ma-Ti importing his character into Spoony before dying]] really happened, it puts a whole new spin on the ending of ''SuburbanKnights'', when [[spoiler:Spoony breaks down and shouts "Ma-Tiiiiiiii" in the middle of one of his reviews for no evident reason]].

* The movie is basically about critics dealing with a PlotHole, something that they've all had experiences with. The primary difference than normal is that the plot hole effects the story that they're in.

* Of course Film Brain would be terrified at seeing the [[TheLastAngryGeek Last Angry Geek]]'s ghost. He still remembers what the Geek [[BrainwashedAndCrazy did to him]] as [[SuburbanKnights Cloak #1]]
