[[WMG: Herge had originally intended Sakharine to be Red Rackham's ancestor.]]
They're not perfect duplicates of each other, but comic![[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111104023733/tintin/images/d/d0/Ivan_Ivanovitch_Sakharine.png Sakharine]] bears a great resemblance to [[http://videocitylondon.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/87266229a-rackham-rouge-jpg.jpg Red Rackham]]. They have similar noses, foreheads, and [[BadassBeard beards]]. Perhaps, in an original draft of the script, Herge had intended to play up this resemblance: either Sakharine was supposed to be the real villain, or a red herring to distract from the actual villain, or it was just going to be a joke about how the infamous pirate's descendent is a harmless collector.

For hardened criminals they seem awfully close and there is no implication that they are brothers. Even though Ramon constantly messes up, Alonzo is always supportive of him and sometimes even gentle towards him. Also, in the comic Ramon seems quite camp.

Also, Haddock is a descendant of Obelix, Snowy is a descendant of Dogmatix, Calculus of Getafix and finally Castafiore of Cacofonix. Also the man dressed as Asterix at the carnival in "Picaros" is the real Asterix immortalized by magic potion, and the spoof-Thompsons seen in "Asterix in Belgium" are actually the ancestors of the real Thompsons.

[[WMG: Professor Calculus knows he is deaf and doesn't use a hearing aid on purpose.]]
Calculus is quick to anger, like Captain Haddock. Unlike the captain, however, Calculus is remarkably violent. Watch how he acts during "Destination Moon" and "Explorers on the Moon." He assaults several people and goes on a rampage after the captain tells him he's "Acting the goat." Calculus also has no problem yelling at the Twins when they question his authority. He also beats the crap out of Carreidas in "Flight 714."
Calculus is aware that he has serious anger issues. While he has trouble controlling his temper, Calculus uses his deafness to hide it. Because he cannot hear people correctly, Calculus just assumes that they are not trying to anger him, and this keeps him from losing his cool.

[[WMG: In the film, Nestor knew about Sir Francis' puzzle and the location of the treasure the entire time.]]
It seems that Nestor had been working for the Haddocks his entire life, seeing as how he had served the Haddocks before Marlinspike Hall was sold off. It's also implied that his entire family served the Haddocks, since Sir Francis' first mate resembles Nestor. Finally, Nestor seemed to have some knowledge about the clues Sir Francis left behind, since he subtly gave Tintin a crucial clue to the importance of the model Unicorns. However, being the loyal retainer that he is, he was just biding his time until a Haddock returned to take possession of Marlinspike Hall.

Tintin's first adventures take place in the 30s (japanese invasion of China, Al Capone, the Chaco war, etc.) The later adventures take place in the second half of the century (the Cold War, exploration of the Moon, etc.), with the characters apparently having neither aged nor lived through WWII. The aliens from ''Flight 714'' must have abducted them before WWII and brought them back to Earth in the 60s, unaged thanks to relativity. They don't remember it of course because their memories were erased by hypnosis. This also explain why Kanrokitoff just happened to be there on the island when they landed. The aliens must have been monitoring them. Perhaps they saw a special purpose for them in the later 20th century and that's why they brought them forward in time (perhaps at the same time saving them from dying in WWII).
