History Headscratchers / Trollhunters

** Perhaps these "Aliens" are just another race of magical beings, like elves or wisps.

* So with the new trailer for Season 2, it's revealed that TrollHunters is getting two sister Series: [[spoiler:Ones about Wizards, which makes a lot of sense, considering {{Main/Merlin}}'s name is invoked many times Jim has to get into his armor. The other... is about Aliens... Why? Why are aliens involved now? And what are the odds that Aliens happen to be in the same city where Troll's have their strongest presence?]]

*** Both can be easily explained; the inability to have it teleport back to you makes sense if you consider what would happen if a Trollhunter got reckless or even misused the amulet; it would need to be taken away in order to teach them a lesson and keep everyone else safe even if the Trollhunter considered it "stolen", and it coming back while Jim was been attacked goblins also makes sense as it could sense that he was in life threatening danger and calling out to it; it is better to have a jerkass Trollhunter live than go through the trouble of finding a new Trollhunter

* In "It's About Time", Jim uses the Kairosect in a moment of panic and manages to do a multitude of things during his session outside of time (save Clair from a truck, move his mother to her cafe table as he brings Blinky back to Troll Market, take the Inferna Copula from Strickler, etc). He manages to get from place to place via his scooter, but this begs the question on how exactly he got the scooter to work in the first place. Some would argue that inanimate objects can stay unfrozen with him if he was in contact with them at the time (like his cellphone), but he was not touching the scooter at the time. The Kairosect isn't just limited to living beings either, because if this was the case, the various cars in the street would still be functional with their owners frozen and Claire would have been hit by the truck.

** It has been repeatedly shown in the series that all the characters can move around at night with out anyone noticing. Would it really be that plot important to show Jim waiting till his mom went to sleep or just got busy, Jim and Draal sneaking over to Claire's and putting her back in her room with out any one noticing leaving, and then Claire waking up in her room, a very easy and minor thing.

** This also brings up what kind of shape-shifting the changelings can accomplish. Is it some kind of elaborate illusion cast over them, or can their bodies ''actually'' shift into that form? If the former, why bother going to the dentist with a cavity that isn't even real? If it is the later, what danger is there in leaving the cavity if it does not actually have any heath risks to them, considering it is all aesthetic?

* In "Reciepe for Disaster", Claire first sees Draal in Jim's basement and, predictably, squeals in fright. What comes next is that she back into a metal pole and knocks herself unconscious. This is confirmed near the end of the episode when Draal shows the unconscious Claire to Jim. However, the fact is that the returning of Claire to her home that night was never addressed and it made it seem that Jim had an unconscious girl in his basement, an issue that had to be solved, yet it is not shown. The fact that the writers ignored a very important plot point between episodes has me scratching my head.

** Blinky explained that the amulet reacts to Jim's emotions and/or mental commands. So when Jim feels strongly enough that he needs the armor, it shows without the incantation. Jim's emotions are all over the place given Claire, Toby, his mother, Strickler, and his mission. So it stands to reason that he cannot summon it consistently without its activation phrase. Add to that RuleOfCool. It sounds/feels awesome to say "for the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command!" ''and'' can be used to intimidate a foe who underestimates the "puny fleshbag".

* Why does Jim sometimes manage to materialize his armor without saying the incantation?

* It's stated regarding Changelings that they are trolls that were experimented on and use kidnapped humans as familiars in order to shapeshift to and from human form. Its also stated that all human familiars are kept in the Darklands and are unharmed to allow the changeling to appear as human form. While this easily works with NotEnrique, whose familiar is a baby, are we also to assume that there are adult human familiars as well, such as familiars for Strickler, Nomura, and the other Janus operatives? If so, how long have they been there? Are they kept alive through artificial means, since Gunmar implies Strickler has been around for years, and does this mean human or troll years? Were they kidnapped as babies and raised/grew up in the Darklands, or captured as adults? Even worse, are the adult counterparts aware of what's going on?

* The Amulet's magic makes it so that Jim is unable to simply ''throw it away'' of his own accord, the amulet either telepathically throwing itself at him or teleporting near him. In "Gnome Your Enemy" however, it is mentioned that if the amulet is ''taken'' from him by somebody, than Jim would have to get it back himself. It sounds like an obnoxiously ''specific'' design flaw left in the crafting of the Amulet's design, don't you think?
** Later on, after [[spoiler:Strickler switches the Amulet with a fake]], the Amulet magically returns to Jim after being attacked by an army of goblins. Does this mean there are circumstances that circumvent the "not when it is stolen" rule?
*** Both can be easily explained, the inability to have it teleport back to you makes sense if you consider what would happen if a Trollhunter got reckless or even misused the amulet, it would need to be taken away in order to teach them a lesson and keep everyone else safe, even if the Trollhunter considered it "stolen", and it coming back while Jim was been attacked goblins also makes sense as it could sense that he was in life threatening danger and calling out to it, it is better to have a jerkass Trollhunter live than go through the trouble of finding a new Trollhunter
