** If one considers the unaired [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeNiQKwHclI pilot episode]] to be part of the show proper, it shows how they captured the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, along with Slimer and several other ghosts. Perhaps this was part of the "real" Gozer event, in contrast to the movie. (It's basically a slightly more elaborate version of the bit shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2SysYkllvE the intro]] from earlier seasons, which replaced Slimer with another generic ghost.) They're also all wearing the original tan jumpsuits in that, which ties in nicely with "Citizen Ghost." Though... it ''doesn't'' jive with how Slimer clearly ''wasn't'' in the containment unit in "Citizen Ghost."

** The show was somewhat inconsistent about this. In "The Bogeyman is Back," Egon made an "Atomic Destabilizer," which he said "can convert solid matter into its ethereal counterpart" (which Ray translated from technobabble to English as "this will vaporize the Bogeyman into a ghost long enough for us to trap him just like any other ghost." But then, in the very next episode, "Once Upon a Slime," for the machine that Egon made that accidentally brought to life the fairy tales in Slimer's book, Egon explains that it "was designed to turn ethereal entities into solid matter to facilitate their capture" (which Ray translated as "you mean it's supposed to make wispy ghosts more real so they're easier to catch?"), which is, oddly, the exact opposite of the issue they had with the Bogeyman/Boogieman.

[[folder:Living Accommodations]]
* Do the Ghostbusters just live at the Firehouse full time? They have beds there and, outside of the occasional vacation, they seem to spend ''all'' of their time there, including off-time. It's not like they are ever shown to work in shifts, where some of them are "on duty" and the others are "off duty" and go home or whatever, after all. In the episode "Kitty-Cornered," even Louis Tully was shown at the Firehouse, in the middle of the night, in his pajamas, implying that he was staying there as well, for no obvious reason. However, in "The Halloween Door," when Boogaloo is holding Peter and Ray in his hand at a great height, Peter says to Ray that he "can see your house from here." Assuming that wasn't just a throwaway joke, it implies that they do have their own homes away from the Firehouse (or, at least, Ray does), though we simply never see them. Janine, at least, is shown on multiple occasions to have her own apartment.

*** AssPull fan theory: When Drool bit the large dangerous ghost, he deliberately fused their molecules together. The larger ghost didn't try to break free from Drool's bite, so maybe it just couldn't. Letting Drool out of the trap would mean releasing the larger ghost again, and it nearly killed the Ghostbusters multiple times before Drool helped them.

** In the first Boogieman episode, Ray refers to him as a corporeal entity, meaning solid. Boogie isn't ectoplasmic. He's as solid as you or I. He just hails from another dimension, and seems more durable to proton beams than a human would be. Samhain and the thing from the Favasham attic were non-corporeal, meaning they could be held by proton beams and trapped.

** The Ghostbusters' proton guns can be really destructive. If the Ghostbusters have to chase the ghosts through your building, they might cause quite a bit of damage before they can finally trap it. Why go through all that if you can draw the ghosts out of hiding and trap them in a safer area?

[[folder:What Exactly Do The Proton Guns And Traps Work On?]]
* One of the main selling points of villains like the Boogieman was that he was a demon instead of a ghost, so the Ghostbusters couldn't put him in a trap. And yet a lot of the ghosts the Ghostbusters fight, like Samhain and the Thing in Mrs. Faversham's Attic seem like more general demons rather than actual undead spirits. So why would the Ghostbusters' weapons affect demons like them, but merely repel something like the Boogieman?

** There actually seem to be a few different kinds of ghosts. Some of them ''are'' the undead spirits of once-living humans. Others seem to be demons, or even just elements of PKE energy that manifest into certain forms. All the ghosts that Robobuster "destroyed" simply coalesced into one gigantic mega-ghost the size of New York.

** Or what Ray meant when he said you can't separate the ghosts was that you can't separate them and let them out individually. Releasing one meant releasing the other, and so they were forced to contain Drool along with his brother in order to avoid letting the more dangerous ghost run free.
