| 1 | Headscratchers for the ''Series/MissionImpossible'' TV series. |
| 2 | ---- |
| 3 | * According to her dossier, Cinnamon was a world-famous model. Why didn't anyone ever recognize her? |
| 4 | ** Cinnamon went on her missions without the hours of professional makeup and hairstyling, designer wardrobe, and expert lighting that are used for her cover shoots. |
| 5 | * How much of the IMF's budget is devoted to setting up all those dead drops for the self-destructing briefing tapes? |
| 6 | ** That's probably a very large part of their budget since keeping the IMF secret is probably their top priority. They certainly don't care about the safety of their agents, considering the disavowal policy. The IMF is the agency that the government uses when it needs something done that can only be done illegally. If anyone ever penetrated the system of self-destructing briefings, the careers of important people would be ruined. |
| 7 | * How old is Grant? In the original series Barney is seen flirting with women (Because he wants to, not because the mission requires he get close to said women) into the early seventies. If one of them is Grant's mother, than Grant would be barely out of high school during the second series. |
| 8 | ** It is likely Grant (like Phil Morris) was born sometime before the original series began and Barney and Grant's mother were no longer together at the time of the events portrayed. |
| 9 | * What did the team do with the profits from their missions? Many of the episodes end with them conning or outright stealing millions, sometimes tens of millions of dollars from their opponents, and that's not even counting the three hundred million in gold bullion from "The Legacy". |
| 10 | ** Its what covers the aforementioned large budgets needed to cover the dead drops, equipment, travel costs, etc, the team relies upon. Much as property seized by the police is used to fund further operations. |
| 11 | ** Also likely paying the bit-players who only show up in one episode. I mean, one guy was there just because he was supposed to be tortured! You'd want to make sue he is set for life. |
| 12 | TheCaper in the pilot episode has a big one... Who the hell stores nuclear warheads in a ''hotel vault''? |
