History Headscratchers / CourageTheCowardlyDog

*** There could be a few explanations for this:

*** ...the horsemen require nighttime or some other specific timeframe in order to emerge in the first place, regardless of how the windmill stops.

* So... Mad Dog was ''prostituting'' Bunny? I remember either listening to or reading a review/recap of "The Mask", and the reviewer pointed out prostitution as a GettingCrapPastTheRadar moment for when we see Mad Dog and his accomplices return to their hideout with Bunny, to whom, Mad Dog says, "Move yer tail, Bunny!" Maybe I'm naive and not familiar with a lot of that stuff, but is, "Move yer tail," ''really'' some kind of prostitution terminology/phrase/euphemism/whatever? When I was a kid, I simply took it as Mad Dog basically telling Bunny to hurry up and get out of the car and come back inside as if she were just sitting there in the car, or taking too long getting out.

** It doesn't help that according to "Everybody wants to direct" the Bagge Farm was built over a graveyard and Von Volkheim's carcass was buried in that very graveyard. And so just like the movie ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}'', a house that is built over a graveyard is going to attract evil supernatural stuff that would turn Winston Zeddmore white... literally!

* A minor headscratcher, but in "Dr. Le Quack, Amnesia Specialist", how was Murial still able to know how to play the sitar after losing her memory?
** Skills-in particular those requiring developing specific neuromuscular (which is often inaccurately referred to as muscle memory) that require specific movements-tend to be the on part of the human brain that degrades the last. This is specifically true if the skillset involved was one that requires a lot of mind-body coordination and agility to perform. There are stories of elderly people with dementia who suddenly stand up from their chair and start dancing in the public areas of the rest homes a style they once did frequently in their youth. And with incredible finesse and grace as though they had been preparing for a live performance for weeks. I heard of an incident of an ex-wrestler who killed his housemate unintentionally because his brain system still remembered the techniques and did it automatically when the other elderly touched him in a certain manner. People with sevre brain damage and extremely bad cases of amnesia still remember basic functions such as eating food with a spoon even if they have degraded to the point of retardation and disabled. So Muriel remembering how to play an instrument is not unrealistic at all. Especially since she played a string instrument which requires a hell lot of hand-midn coordination and speedy flexible movements than most activities.

** NegativeContinuity and/or RuleOfDrama. Besides, most fans dislike that episode anyway, so you probably shouldn't defend it.

*** I took his shapeshifting as more like a fantasy version of gesticulating, so he's not really shapeshifting, he's gesticulating but it looks like shapeshifting to the viewer.

** According to Wikipedia and some archaeological evidence, some of the Mayan funeral rituals (by the Classic period) were like mummification in the sense of wrapping their dead, sealing them in a tomb, and the like, so there were mummies, just not like Egyptian mummies (which were embalmed).

** She's cheap ( in more than one sense of the word). Eustace had to get it somewhere.

** Eustace and Muriel, despite their flaws, do show cases of AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther throughout the series. Eustace isn't evil so much as he is a cranky old man who takes out his frustrations and insecurities (Remember, his mother was quite abusive towards him and he pretty much lived in the shadow of his more-successful late brother) on Courage. For example, in the episode ''Evil River'' he asks if Muriel being the "bait" for Carmen (the MonsterOfTheWeek) was safe hinting that he wouldn't go through with it if he thought Muriel was in any real danger. Likewise, in an episode involving vengeful widow ghost (I forget the name of said episode) Courage helps pull their marriage back together (due to said ghost trying to separate Eustace and Muriel by making Eustace think that Muriel was trying to kill him) and they are shown to be quite happy together. Not only that, but in the same episode, Eustace's Mother (who teams up with said ghost) says that Muriel is a terrible wife with Eustace retorting "You don't know what you're talking about" showing that, despite his JerkAss behavior towards her, he does care for her deep down inside. Plus, I've always seen ''Ball Of Revenge'' as '''HORRIBLY''' [[CharacterDerailment out of character]] for Eustace since, throughout most of the series, he was pretty much apathetically indifferent towards Courage rather than downright hating him...especially since earlier episodes actually showed that Eustace would (though reluctantly, and mostly for money) help Courage with some of his plans ("Kick 'em in the dishpan hoo hoo hoo?").

** She probably doesn't have anything better to do, if she's still alive. If that sounds too logical, there's (again) the status quo...
