** Speaking of Kennedy… [[spoiler: It actually makes a lot of sense that she was TheMole in "[=FinANTial=] Crisis". She would need to be well-informed on all topics regarding the typical American in order to pass as anyone but Mr. Hashimoto's daughter. Plus, her assumed name is just a mashup of two presidents' (JFK and Martin Van Buren) last names.]]
* In "past, [=presANT=] & future", Chyna gets stuck in the 1980's and takes TheSlowPath back to the present. The now-40-something Chyna volunteers to travel back to the 80's ''again'' and smash the time machine so that none of this ever happens. She does so, and Chyna (now her proper teenage self) reappears. The problem is, Chyna's 80-something-year-old self now hobbles in. Where exactly did she come from? The whole reason for smashing the time machine was to prevent Zoltan's younger self from causing a TemporalParadox by choosing ''not'' to return to the past! Am I just over-thinking this whole thing?

** Eh, probably.




* In the episode "Cantonese Style Cuisine" why did the restaurant have two work uniforms that perfectly fit two 11 year olds? And how did nobody notice the very obvious children that were "working" there?

** Maybe Chyna and Fletcher also acheive in other subjects other than art and music.
** Just saying, but the series seems to be based around the concept of "global giftedness," an extremely rare trait. That's the only explanation I can think of for why a musician and an artist can presumably take high school level classes. Even with a character like Olive, a high aptitude in verbal skills doesn't necessarily denote high skill in every other subject. Plus, grade-skipping like that (three grades at once?) is rare in itself, so I find it interesting that Webster High managed to get together an ''entire class'' of kids with that kind of global aptitude.

**Because then we wouldn't get great characters like Paisley and Cameron (well, we'd probably see Cameron, since he's the main character's brother, but still).

* Why would Lexi be a part of Chyna's friendship song to Fletcher? [[CharacterizationMarchesOn Because she feels guilty about having caused the whole mess in the first place, especially since she was actually trying to help Chyna with a problem for once]].
** Lexi? Guilty? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! ...wait, are you serious?
** Orrrrrr, Lexi wouldn't pass up an opportunity to be in the spotlight, even for a little bit part-- notice how she lingers even after the focus shifts away from her part.
->Fridge Horror
* Olive and Fletcher's plot in "angus' first [=movemANT=]" ends with Olive chasing Fletcher with a basket of venomous snakes. After the plot concludes, Fletcher isn't seen for the rest of the episode.
