** WordOfGod is that they were planning to use the portal to kill Charlie just to get back at Starfish and Nyx for ruining their plans back in the fourth episode. They just didn't expect him to survive the portal.

* We know as of the Grand Finale that Starfish was not one of the many poor souls possessed by Pink and Blue, which raises an interesting question. During the musical number in episode 3, they had to have realized he wasn't a part of the ploy. So why, with all of their power, did they not do anything about him?

** Apparently, there was more than one way to do it. (Assuming the original plan was even going to work in the first place.) Sorcerer Charlie tells him to do it the one way, and as Series Charlie goes the other way, exclaims, "You're making the building shake! It shouldn't do that!" with what sounds like genuine distress. ...and yet, as far as we can see, that worked out. It sounds like even now, Sorcerer Charlie was dealing with things that he didn't entirely understand.

** It's possible that, like the portal's security system, there was some variable involved that he did not take into account. But honestly, with the series being as nonsensical as it is, does there really have to be an exact answer?

* I, for one, am confused about the whole 'TypeQueen-Steele' thing. I thought that they were the same person. Did TypeQueen make Charlie the Unicorn first? Did Jason Steele? Or does anyone really know? To add to the confusion, Jason Steele's videos share both the graphic style and humour type of Charlie, while TypeQueen's videos aren't related in the slightest, save the fact that they're animated with the same programs. Also, TQ's animations have a very confined feel to the animation, making it look like she [[UncannyValley never finished the rendering process]]. (To figure out what I mean by that, just watch her 'Evolution of the Unicorn'.) Can someone clear up the confusion?

** I always assumed it was a product of the art style. Charlie and co. strongly resemble toy horses with molded manes. The manes on such toys are sometimes hard to see, depending upon the color of the toy and how short the mane was meant to be. If the characters are indeed modeled off of toys, this combined with the blurriness of the shading on the characters would make manes hard to see anyway, so the artist may not have bothered to draw them (or did draw them but they got lost amongst the blur during production and were left that way).

** If I'm up to date on my unicorn mythology, Unicorns didn't have manes in their early interpretations so it could be a reference to that. Although they also had goat-like feet and lion-like tails so I'm probably wrong. However it may be because if they had manes they would get in the way of the characters and make their drawings a bit off. So it's probably more of an artistic reason than mythological reason.

The final post used \"mains\" instead of \"manes\" which I decided to correct.

** Perhaps this particular type of unicorns simply do not have manes?
* After watching the 4th video, I was just thinking. It seems Pink and Blue have reality altering powers, while Charlie has none. But in the 3rd and 4th video Charlie mentions how things explode after singing to him. Maybe that is his power, to make things explode after singing to him? He's just not aware of it

Why do most people think the goat-whale thing is creepy? I mean, I understand it looks unnatural, but it doesn't look scary at all. If anything its [[TastesLikeDiabetes cute it makes one vomit]]; I would easily expect something like that coming out of a children's movie. Is it because he sings to Charlie a song about how ''other'' creatures love him?
* Think about the other things that sang to Charlie on his insane adventures: letters come to life, sing about Candy Mountain and then explode. Followed by his kidney being stolen. Then a green, slug-like ... thing, who sings a song and then explodes. And then his TV got stolen. Now he has a sort of goat-fish thing singing a [[TastesLikeDiabetes happy]] song about how everyone loves him. Who will undoubtedly explode and shortly after, someone will steal something of his.
