Line #4 Fridge/Motorcity


1	[[AC: FridgeBrilliance]]
2	* In the ColdOpen for "Ride of The Fantasy Vans," one of the kids has blonde hair with bangs. Later, it's revealed that Chuck--as "king of the realm"--is a bit of a celebrity in the Motorcity {{LARP}} community. Chuck also happens to have blonde bangs that hide his eyes. It's possible the kid was emulating his fantasy hero.
3	* In "Going Dutch" Dutch isn't affected by the zombie virus because he's been painting for two days straight--he probably never took off his respirator mask once.
4	** The zombie plague turns out to be [[spoiler: spread by nanobots]]--it's not just a zombie virus, it's [[spoiler: a computer virus.]]
5	** Dutch's flashback sequence seems to imply that he was the last member to join the Burners, which might explain why he seems to be a little more distant from the others.
6	* In 'Off the Rack' it's kind of fridge horror/brilliance; after you realize that if Claire's safety suit had come off a minute later, she would be dead.
7	** If it had gone ''on'' a minute later she would be dead; the second it comes on Texas accidentally hits her with his car.
8	* At first, it seems like Kane is holding the IdiotBall by keeping an idiot like Tooley around as his right-hand man, especially when you consider that the position was originally filled in by [[TheAce Mike,]] of all people. However, this makes sense in hindsight; Mike is incredibly competent, independent, and has a strong sense of right and wrong, but all of this is what drove him to betray Kane Co and join the Burners in the first place, and, not only that, all of his skills and training are part of what has made him one of the biggest threats to Kane Co. Tooley isn't very competent or skilled, but he ''is'' doggedly loyal, and even if he ever ''wanted'' to betray Kane, he's too stupid to think of a plan on his own. He's Kane's attempt to prevent Mike 2.0.
9	* Why are the Burners such a thorn in Kane's side? Well, the Burners are the only group that has a DoubleAgent who has an incredibly intimate relationship with the enemy (unbeknownst to them of course). It's unlikely that any other group in Motorcity has constant access to that level of valuable intel.

12	* Motorcity is almost entirely covered by Deluxe. Which means there is very little sunlight actually getting into the city. So wouldn't there be a lot of Motorcity citizens suffering from severe Vitamin D deficiency as a result? Dying, even? Especially the poorer people, who probably don't have the means to get out of the city.
13	** They've got sufficient infrastructure to grow their own food, so there are probably measures in place to make up for the lack of sunlight.
14	** The very beginning of "Riding the Lightning" has the Burners having some "fun in the sun" and Claire even working on her tan
15	* If Cyborg Dan is a politically correct cyborg, i.e. he is part robot and living organism, he might have possibly felt his face melting...
16	* "Fearless" has Chuck (and some of Kane's men) wearing the Kane Booster, a piece of technology that increases strength and removes the user's fear. Chuck becomes violent within only a few days of having it. Thankfully, by the end of the episode, it's removed and he's back to normal, so everything's good right? Except this episode lends itself to a horrifying implication: Kane is perfectly willing to put his soldiers' mental and physical health on the line simply to get a leg up on Mike. What else is Kane willing to do to his soldiers to make them stronger, considering how little he cares for their safety?
17	** This also gives some unsettling credence to Mike's true nature. When Kane called Mike his "project", did he mean how he raised Mike like his own son, or something more sinister? For that matter, is there a potential reason why ''Tooley'' is as stupid as he is? He could just be an idiot, but he's also super strong and, more importantly, super loyal, so he could easily be stupid ''by design''.
18	** It's also good luck that Chuck didn't have the booster for that long or used it very often; something that medically dampens fear can't possibly be healthy, given that plenty of real world drugs have similiar effects. It's possible that prolonged usage would have drove Chuck into an early grave!
19	** Or even worse; even having the booster for a few days made Chuck unreasonable and violent. If the booster didn't eventually kill him, how long would he have to have it for the personality changes to be permanent? Would he just stay a violent jerk forever, or would it get even '''worse,''' with him eventually devolving into a feral menace that would lose his ability to be rational at ''all''?
20	* Julie's DoubleAgent status, if she were to be discovered, could have some pretty horrifying consequences, depending on which side finds out first. If The Burners find out that Kane is her dad, it could sow distrust in Julie that would be difficult to repair, however, it's likely that this would eventually subside. However, if ''Kane'' finds out first, it would spell bad news for not just Julie, but ''everyone.''
21	** He could punish her for her betrayal (He's more than capable of turning on someone whom he cared for, given his relationship with Mike,) which could mean anything from brainwashing to torture to straight up execution to set an example for the rest of Deluxe, which would make it clear to everyone that ''no one'', not even his own teenage daughter, is exempt from Kane's rule.
22	** Conversely, he could use Julie to spy on the ''Burners'' for him, which would muddle the waters even further and give him a leg up on them. This suddenly makes her fears shown in "Mayhem Night" even more frightening.
