5	* During the opening scene, it is implied that the shark became more aggressive in attacking the boat of the teenagers because of the blood-like wine that spilled off the boat. But why would a shark mistake the smell of wine for blood? Until you realize that it's thanks to the shark's enhanced brain that it's ignoring its instincts of smell and is relying on things like assumptions, just like a human would!
6	** Wasn't that one of the sharks that ''hadn't'' been made super-smart, though?
7	*** It was described as a Gen. 1, so yeah, it was genetically enhanced.
8	* The scene where Samuel L. Jackson gets eaten was obviously included to subvert expectations, but it could also be FridgeBrilliance. The sharks have clearly been observing human behaviour, even if they can't understand human speech; they figured out that the people could cause the station to sink, and how to herd them around so they'd have to make it happen. So why couldn't they have killed Jackson when they did ''on purpose''? If they could detect the vibrations (and [[BizarreAlienSenses erratic neural impulses]]?) of people who were panicking, and realized that it was Jackson whose [[RousingSpeech we're-getting-out-of-this speech]] was calming them down, then they may have '''deliberately''' taken him out before he could get everyone thinking and potentially derail the makos' BatmanGambit.
9	* The Gen. 1 mako that escaped, threatened the catamaran, and then was rounded up again in the opening sequence wasn't just a chance escapee. It was ''scouting the area'' to confirm that the nearby waters were suitable for all three super-makos to inhabit: not too warm or cold, no rival predators to fear, and plenty of prey. It attacked the boat to test its own hunting abilities, verifying that they'd be able to survive on their own once humans weren't supplying them with food anymore. Not much point in staging a jailbreak if you're just going to starve to death once you're free, is there...?
10	* One of the major complaints people had was "how did the sharks manage to map Aquatica enough to know they had to herd the humans around to get the fences lower?". Sharks have electroreception, so they mapped it using the electrical impulses they could sense from the wiring in the walls.

12	!!FridgeHorror:
13	* The entire BatmanGambit of the sharks. Letting them loose wouldn't seem like a big deal to horror audiences on the surface. But any biology expert can tell you that this is a bad idea. Hypothetically, if there were real life Smart-Sharks like the Makos, the first thing they'd do upon escaping would be to mate with the local sharks. Eventually this would result in birthing more smart sharks. There were only 3 in the beginning, so multiply that by the natural mating habit and birth rates of the average Mako Shark. To put it lightly, imagine an entire ocean full of sharks that can think and are ten times more aggressive than a rogue [[Film/{{Jaws}} Great White.]]
