** That only work once. Enemies would learn from their mistakes and made upgrades to themselves.



** The surviving infected might have been caught and put in a cell until a cure could be found.

** Dark Kat has shown to be a dangerous competent villain considering he has technology that rivals above the Enforcers' arsenal surprisingly as this is a world where super advanced technology is commonplace. The two fakers are probably using state of the art disguise masking technology to mask disguise their true appearance and are probably trained to fake limps.



** It was dark, so there is trouble to tell the difference.



** The guys had a perfect shot to take down Dark Kat. Instead of supporting them, Feral for whatever reason knock their jet causing their headquarters to be destroyed. Not only Feral is at fault but he is at fault for pushing blame onto them for causing the problem in the first place.

** Despite how big of a mistake Razor did, he is still their hero. Also, the Enforcers are too busy dealing with Dark Kat.

I'm curious as to why Feral wanted to take down Dark Kat himself. Why not let T-bone blast him? And as for T-bone, instead of obeying an order, why is he arguing with the commander...his boss/superior? Did both guys have enormous egos, or is it something else?

** Originally the crew of the water freighter Mutilor stole in "When Strikes Mutilor" were going to be human astronauts. This was nixed by producer Buzz Potamkin ("Just make them kat aliens."), and thus we got the katlike Aqueons.

** Probably not, but there may be normal (non-anthropomorphic) dogs. Background art for the pet store in "Mutation City" shows a doghouse.

** Because being a fighter pilot is a completely different job from being an infantryman, and you can't assume that those trained for one of those roles are also trained for the other? Just because the Swat Kats and the Enforcers are so badass that they can do both doesn't mean that everybody can.

The Dark SWAT Kats may have been defeated, but the Dark Kat in their world is still on the loose. What's stopping him from creating another bomb? I don't think their Enforcers are enough to stop him, since they suck at their job in the regular SWAT Kat universe.

*** Only the first one really carries any weight, since her being found offscreen is perfectly logical, but Falk appealing to "cartoon logic" in a show that typically doesn't use it (if it did, half the dead characters would've survived) seems a little lazy, bordering on a non-answer. BottomlessMagazines and {{Hammerspace}} is one thing, but the seat is established as not being ''in'' the jet and then is back in later without explanation, meaning it isn't cartoon logic, it's a continuity error. I'm going to assume Falk is just joking. Also, did he actually write it as "Turbo''c''at?"

Razor using the ash-tray to destroy Mac's body seemed to work very effectively, so why didn't he build a "sand-blaster" gun of some sort for later Metallikat encounters? Granted, in "Metal Urgency" it was unknown that the Metallikats had been rebuilt/gotten loose, but it would have made sense to have that around for later encounters.

* The Behemoth really sucks, with a number of horrific design flaws indicating it needed to really go right back to the drawing board. Firstly, it appears to lack redundancy, with the much-ballyhooed thought-controlled arsenal ''only'' being capable of controlled via thought, with no conventional means of firing when/if the mental control system is disabled, leaving the vehicle and its operator completely defenseless, and secondly, upon having its having system shorted out, rather than simply stopping, it spazzes out, goes rogue and just drives itself wherever, not stopping until colliding with something sufficiently heavy to halt its momentum. I know it's just a prototype, but, dang. Did Pumadyne really think any of this was a good idea?
