Line #88 Headscratchers/TheAdventuresofJimmyNeutronBoyGenius


1	* If Professor Calamitous never finishes, how does he have a child?
2	** With a lot of help.
3	** Even if he pulled out half way through, pre-ejaculatory fluid can be enough impregnate a woman.
4	*** Or maybe he donated to a sperm bank.
5	** Consider that his unability to finish things is a type of mental constraint. Ejaculation is an inevitable, ''physical'' process during sex. What I'm trying to say is, his tics doesn't have to interfere with his bodily functions. We might as well ask "How does he finish peeing?", even if he doesn't finish, his body will eventually force him to.
6	** I don't recall him or anybody who knows him mentioning a wife or even girlfriend. He might have just got a child the mad scientist way (test tube baby, [[OppositeSexClone opposite sex cloning]]) and managed to fluke his way into Beautiful Gorgeous being functional.
7	*** Actually, in Beautiful Georgeous' debut episode, Calamitous does tell her that "you're so much like your mother", which confirms he had a wife or at the very least had sex at some point.
8	*** Not necessarily. BG could just be a clone of her "mother" with Calamitus her father in that he spearheaded the effort to make her and raised her. Or she was made with material from both Calamitus and whoever was the woman who provided female material.
9	** BG is adopted.
10	*** But then why would Calamitous mention her resemblance to her mother if he didn't know his daughter's biological mother?
11	*** BG's mother was a close friend of Calamitous'/his sister. When she was unable to care for her daughter, he adopted her.
12	** He didn't finish their relationship. That's why they kept arguing in Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion.
13	* Jimmy has fought Chicken egg aliens, living pants, a midget mad scientist, a robot, lots of robots, has a robot dog, breathes in space, seen aliens, saved the world with a secret agent, shrunk down to the size of a bacteria to extract mitochondria from them, went to the depths of ocean, and has done many more, but HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN SANTA CLAUS??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
14	** Believing in Santa Claus is just silly.
15	** Even more silly than his father's sexual obsession with pies? I can't understand it.
16	*** And ducks. Can't forget ducks.
17	** For the same reason some scientists believe in aliens but not God. Jimmy is a man of science, not fairy tales. Why should he believe in Santa?
18	** Aren't Aliens usually depicted in Science Fiction stories, more importantly, the aliens got unusual anatomy or are giant eggs but a fat man in a red suit is not believable to him.
19	** Just because you know one implausible thing exists doesn't mean you're required to believe in all implausible things. Also, not everything that is currently only known in fiction is of equal likelihood. Suppose someone were to build a sentient robot. Would you automatically decide that unicorns existed as a result? Would you assume that we had also invented FasterThanLightTravel at the same time?
20	** He wouldn't believe in Santa even if he saw him. Recall his experience with fairy godparents.
21	*** Exactly! Jimmy doesn't believe in magic, which is what Santa would most likely be. As a scientist he believes in things only if science can explain them. So it makes sense to me.
22	*** The issue I have with that is the fact that he doesn't believe in magic, which science can't explain--that I get--but he also doesn't believe in lake monsters...which science ''can'' (and within the episode, ''did'') explain.
23	*** In one episode, this was explained. He didn't believe in Santa for a reason, and [[spoiler: by the end of the episode, he believes again.]]
24	*** His disbelief for Santa Claus was due to not receiving something like a dwarf star (it was several years ago). Sheen ribs it was because he was naughty. [[spoiler: Santa reveals it was partially because of that, but mainly because the star took 5 years to cool, something he mentioned in the note.]]
25	*** Jimmy does admit he doesn't know if he believes in magic when he faced off against Crocker. Probably because he doesn't know what the rules of magic would entail compared to science.
26	* Where is Ultralord from anyways? He has Japan-only merchandise, but the trappings of a western series.
27	** [[RuleOfFunny He's a parody of both at once]]
28	** He's from Planet Mektar in Vector 8 of the Nebulon Galaxy!
29	** That is a parody of Anime/TransformersVictory and Anime/BeastWarsII
30	** If he is a parody of both at once, then is he a Franchise/{{Power Ranger\|s}}?
31	* My sister remembers an earlier show that this was based on; Jimmy even references it in "When Pants Attack", the first episode. Can anyone offer proof?
32	** She must be remembering the movie which was shown in theaters before the show began.
33	*** Uh,can you be more specific?
34	*** ... The movie? You know, the one the show was based on...? It's either that, or those little shorts that the troper below mentioned.
35	** This troper remembers a couple of shorts that aired on TV either before the movie or before the show aired, and is pretty sure that one was similar to "When Pants Attack".
36	** Years before the movie, there was a pilot produced for the show (which shares a similar but not exactly the same plot as the film), which is included on one of the early compilation [=DVDs=] the show had. I have heard from numerous sources that that pilot had aired on Nickelodeon (again, years before the movie) once, though I never have seen anything official stating that.
37	*** I thought that the entire movie was originally intended as a pilot for the TV series? Apparently the Nick execs were so impressed they funded the whole movie based on the strength of that one episode.
38	** I think she may remember something called Runaway Rocketboy. It was made by the same people, featuring a similar protagonist, but got rejected by Nick.
39	*** No, I think that was one of the shorts they made to pitch the idea of JN to Nickelodeon. It was basically Jimmy, with crappier animation, a different outfit and a Carl with zits instead of freckles.
40	** No, I remember this episode too, it was either the first episode or it was an hour long special, in the episode Jimmy makes a chip that makes pants pick up and fold themselves, [[spoiler: they attack]].
41	*** That's the pilot for the series, which came out after the movie. The pilot everyone else is talking about came ''before'' the movie.
42	* How is it that there are no teenagers in Retroville?
43	** Isn't Skeet (not sure if that's his name, the kid who manages that burger place?) a teenager? And I'm pretty sure Betty's one as well.
44	*** I mean, in the movie, when all the parents were gone, it was only kids, no teenagers whatsoever.
45	*** Maybe the teenagers were off doing non-G-rated stuff.
46	** Sheen is 13 for most (if not all) of the TV series.
47	* Is Pomono Beach Debbie an actual character in Ultra Lord?
48	** No.
49	* If the rewinder remote device was supposed to rewind peoples' actions, like when Cindy and Libby squirted smoothie out of their noses, how did it send Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen back in time? Wouldn't they have just gone through their lives in reverse until they were unborn fetuses or something? How did it manage to send them back in time?!
50	** Actually, it reversed time for everything other than the user(s).
51	*** But when they kept replaying the girls squirting the smoothies Jimmy's Dad walks up behind them and watches. Plus Jimmy specifically states that it only works on what you point it at.
52	*** The remote malfunctioned due to Hugh misusing it; Jimmy neither planned for that function nor knew it was even possible in the process.
53	* Jimmy creating a girl-eating plant. Doesn't he realize being eaten would kill them?
54	** [[ComedicSociopathy He]] [[RuleOfFunny does.]]
55	** Maybe he's a genius but horribly, horribly naive?
56	*** He sent a toaster into space to look for aliens without considering their [[AlienAbduction potential]] [[AlienInvasion hostility]], gave the [[AIIsACrapshoot nanobots]] a second chance, and continues to try educating his [[TooDumbToLive classmates]]. What do you think?!
57	** Also consider that despite its intimidating appearance, the plant was only capable of taking a tiny bite out of a tiny picture of a girl. It could seriously injure someone depending on where it bit, but is less likely to actually kill.
58	* Bolbi comes from a country with the suffix "-istan", suggesting he's Middle Eastern. But he looks white and his accent and name seem more Eastern European.
59	** Most of the -istan's are former soviet countries so he may be from the country through Russians who had moved.
60	** Also not everyone of Middle Eastern or any other descent is going to look or act the way pop culture knowledge tells us they ''obviously'' should. [[SarcasmMode What, me? Bitter? Where'd you get that idea?]]
61	** It doesn't really matter, though. Bolbi's country is fictional (seriously, who would name a country [[PunnyName "Backhairistan"]]?).
62	* Why doesn't Jimmy use gadgets in The N-Men ala Nite Owl or the Second Blue Beatle to make up for just smelling fruity?
63	** My guess is no-one will take Jimmy seriously if he smells like an orange and looks like one.
64	* If Cindy is so smart, why doesn't she make nano machines, time machines, hover cars, etc.?
65	** She's just not ''as'' smart as Jimmy, clearly.
66	** She's ''smart'', not a genius.
67	*** Exactly. She's above-average, but not profoundly so. She'd be that kid who could feasibly have been in your class at school, who got everything right. Jimmy's just insanely gifted.
68	** She ''did'' make a [[AppliedPhlebotinum compact machine that turns gym socks into fashionable sweaters]]. That's actually pretty complex.
69	*** But the thing it, we don't know when she did it, or how long did it take her to make it. she might have worked on it ever since the last science fair, or months ago, but as we have seen time and time again Jimmy makes stuff like that almost overnight, even if they have some serious bugs.
70	*** I believe that was actually brought up in the episode itself; the machine broke down in the middle of a science fair and Cindy didn't have enough time to fix it; she had to let Jimmy fix it for her. This implies that Cindy ''could'' fix it, but it would take longer for her.
71	* In "The Tomorrow Boys", when Jimmy and Cindy are married in the dictatorship future, why does Cindy still Jimmy "Nerdtron" if they're still married?
72	** She's very {{Tsundere}} and its a nickname?
73	** I'm not sure that 'bad future' marriage was such a happy one. I mean, he ''did'' spend all his time taking care of her mother's feet. That's not exactly conducive to cordiality between them.
74	* So Jimmy is like this huge boy genius, and it seems like he knows about everything. And yet, he doesn't know that Australia is both a country and a continent? How is that possible?!?
75	** It's heavily implied it was just an excuse to "flirt" with Cindy and potentially be alone with her in the hovercar for a bit. Of course he'd know it was a continent, he's just making up bad excuses to spend time with her.
76	** RuleOfFunny. Jimmy is a total know-it-all; him seeming to know everything is pretty much just the image he tries to project. He may be a genius at engineering, but that doesn't mean he's a geography buff as well.
77	*** Possibly he was just playing along to try to get some more alone time with Cindy.
78	** Australia is not technically a continent. "Australasia" is, I think, but not the island itself.
79	*** The above comment is correct. Australia isn't a continent by itself. The continent is Australasia/Oceania and contains New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, etc.
80	* Why do the games insist on giving Cindy her younger movie look?
81	** Laziness?
82	* Twonkies turn into vicious beasts when hearing good music, but go to sleep when hearing bad music. How is it that Sheen has the only bad singing voice possible to lull the Twonkies, and not Carl? His constant singing in the hour long Spy special (WE'RE SPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIES!) or his 'Folding and Hanging' song in When Pants Attack were pretty bad, but it was actually his Beeeendiiing and Steeeeetching that was the first example of a Twonky going berserk, meaning it was GOOD. That's confusing.
83	** Different tastes?
84	** Well, Sheen has been shown to be a messiah of various religions! (The monks, I think in the spinoff) Of course, he can use his cosmic and otherworldly powers to soothe the Twonkies.
85	** They turn into vicious beasts upon hearing any music, not just good music. The joke is that Sheen's singing is so bad the Twonkies don't even recognize it as music. Carl's singing is bad, just not quite bad enough to count as "anti-music" according to the Twonkies.
86	* I remember there was an episode where Sheen was made super-intelligent and started to go on a telekinetic rampage when he reached {{Brain Critical Mass}}. Jimmy then decides that the only way to turn his friend back to normal is to trick him into wearing a brain draining crown. That's all and well, but the writers add in a fairly damning plot point when Jimmy is explaining all of this to Carl (paraphrased):
87	** "No, you don't understand Carl! If we don't get this helmet on him... His [[YourHeadAsplode head will explode]]."
88	** [[FlatWhat What]]? So why bother going through the effort to '''trick''' Sheen into donning the helmet? All Jimmy has to do is explain scientifically that Sheen will die if he doesn't put on the crown!
89	** If Sheen could read their minds, then he would have caught whiff of WHY they were trying to get him to wear the helmet. Meaning he either became psychotic with his nigh-godly IQ and new-found powers, or he was TooDumbToLive all along, sky-high IQ or not.
90	** This troper simply assumed he would've built one of those brain-controlled-mech suits for himself. With his AGodAmI complex, it's also possible that he believed he didn't really need his body anymore (as he really doesn't use it much for anything after a while), much like how the Brain aliens from the intergalactic game show special told him that they had evolved beyond the need for their bodies.
91	** It's also plausible that Sheen (who at this point was more-or-less omniscient) had already managed to figure out and avert having his head explode. At that point, the conflict would come not from him being in eminent danger but from his complete and utter insanity.
92	* I know I'm not the only one who questions Jimmy's friendship with Carl and Sheen. Particularity in the episodes "The N-Men" and "Billion Dollar Boy", they join Cindy and Libby and a few kids when it comes to picking on Jimmy and laughing at him. Sometimes, it makes fans wonder why Jimmy can't just ''dump'' Carl and Sheen as friends.
93	** "I really need to expand my circle of friends." Said by Jimmy in "The Incredible Shrinking Town." Also, it's basically KidsAreCruel and WithFriendsLikeThese, which seems to happen in many children's cartoons.
94	* How exactly could Jimmy read Egyptian Hieroglyphics with a "Sanskrit-to-English translator" if Sanskrit and Ancient Egyptian aren't even in the same language family?
95	** Because "Sanskrit" sounds like "sand script". Therefore, of course, it's an ancient language from a desert-dwelling culture.
96	* What's Jimmy's problem with Cindy's cropped pants?
97	** He was just being a dick and wanted her to get in trouble.
98	** It's a minor RunningGag; he complains about her pants in the body-swapping episode too, and likely elsewhere. It's also likely a jab at school dress codes.
99	* My sister and I were confused about this one in "Win, Lose and Kaboom!"; Meldar insists during a race between Team Earth and Team Brain that there is no cheating allowed and confiscates Goddard. But then, during the race, the Brains use their PsychicPowers to lock the kids into a LotusEaterMachine. Doesn't that mean they cheated?
100	** Probably not, considering their competition could run, jump, and had hands, while the brains moved along at a snail's pace. [[FridgeLogic Meldar probably didn't see it as cheating because the Brain's were simply using their natural abilities to get a leg up on the humans who already had a leg up in a physical competition, thus making it fair.]] Besides, [[RuleOfDrama this is a game show we're talking about]]. If they weren't allowed to do that, it would've made for a laughably one-sided race with a ForegoneConclusion, thus making it boring (at least in the eyes of Meldar).
101	** Don't forget that they didn't actually brainwash the kids until Jimmy got impatient and demanded they use the [[SchmuckBait overly obvious shortcut]] to bypass all the physical traps to the finish line. It's entirely plausible that before the match started, Meldar leaned over to the Brains and whispered that they were only allowed to hypnotize their competitors if they proved themselves dumb enough to actually fall for the fake shortcut.
102	* How has Jimmy not been recruited to a major university or lab? Yes, his tech tends to have major glitches, but the fact that he is able to turn out pierces of technology that can send people millions of years through time, switch personalities and memories between bodies with seemingly no side effects, and send people to Mars and back in a matter of days would send every major scientific institution scrambling to get him on their payroll.
103	** If I recall correctly, the technology within the show's universe was either relatively common or rare but not unheard of. What made Jimmy stand out was the fact that he's a ''[[ChildProdigy kid]]''. Indeed, in "Jimmy Goes to College" it was revealed that every single student in the college in question has a jet pack, whereas back in elementary school only Jimmy did.
104	*** That very episode answers the question--he has, but chooses to stay in elementary school of his own accord.
105	* How come the characters who wear glasses have ''no lenses'' (such as Carl, Mrs. Fowl, Principal Willoughby, Sam the Candy Bar owner, and Prof. Calamatous)? How are they able to see out of those? In fact, the only character who seems to have visible lenses his glasses is Hugh. What's with that?
106	** There are glasses in real life that have invisible lenses.
107	** Perhaps it was due to the limitations of the software used to animate the show. Keep in mind that back then creating glass in CGI was rather difficult if not pretty expensive, so the animators probably decided to cut corners by only giving characters with smaller glasses lenses and excluding them from characters with bigger glasses.
108	* Did Jimmy, Carl & Sheen really have to destroy all of Libby's gifts in "Tomorrow Boys"? Instead of afterwards, why couldn't Jimmy just ask Cindy (since she handled the gifts) where his "gift" was, BEFORE he jumped straight to searching?
109	** Cindy probably wouldn't have been very helpful about it. Also, if Jimmy has time travel, why even bother traveling to ''after'' he'd given Cindy the present? Why not travel to before the day's events, and put his intended gift somewhere away from his experiments so the mixup never happens in the first place?
110	** That would cause a paradox to happen since he removed the reason for him to travel back in time, so he didn't go back in time. Since didn't go back in time to receive it means that it did happen which means he did go back in time. So on and so forth over and over again.
111	*** They traveled to the future, not the past. The Dictator Libby future wasn't the original future shown through the Chrono-Arch. Them traveling to the future isn't what spawned it, it was Carl's mixup with the gifts beforehand that did. Going back and destroying Libby's present completely undid that future from existing anyway. Their timeline is clearly malleable enough that paradoxes aren't particularly relevant.
112	* Why would Stormstrucker frame Jimmy out of all people for stealing the dollar bill in "Who Framed Jimmy?"? Did he really need to break into Jimmy's lab?
113	** Didn't he use one of Jimmy's inventions in order to steal the money? Like his hypno-ray, or something?
114	* Cindy once said in "The N-Men" that the reason she kept being mean to Jimmy was [[LovingBully to hide her real feelings for him]]. Then why was in "Trading Faces" Carl, Sheen, or Libby didn't notice or see this memory of "being mean to hide love for Jimmy" or something along the line?
115	** It's implied that the process of restoring their memories took hours, and a lot of it is skipped for time's sake. It could've been one of the memories that came up near the end when they were too tired to care.
116	** Libby, who already knows, may have sought out and placed that memory when the others weren't looking so they wouldn't see it.
117	** I always thought that episode was the reason why Cindy developed feelings for Jimmy. They deleted the last personality trait instead of giving it to Jimmy or Cindy because they couldn't tell who it belonged to. The personality trait was about "disliking boys who dislike girls who dislike boys who dislike girls [[RunningGag who dislike show-offy boys]]..." Maybe it belonged to Cindy.
118	*** This was always how I saw it. Cindy having that confusingly recursive memory represented her inability to sort out her newly developing feelings for Jimmy with her past views of him as an annoying know-it-all. When they deleted it, it allowed her to get over that mental hurdle and start seeing Jimmy as more than just a walking disaster area that gave her confusing feelings.
119	* In "Send In The Clones", Jimmy collects rare ice crystals forming in space because they supposedly keep ice cream at the perfect eating temperature. If it's just the temperature that's important, why can't he just tinker with a freezer?
120	** He could, but Jimmy mentioned that the ice crystals only come in some years, and he wanted to seize the chance when he had it.
121	* Exactly what time period is the show set in? In one episode, Jimmy goes back in time to inspire his father to invest in [=McSpanky's=] burger restaurant. He only went back in time 15 years earlier, yet the entire atmosphere suggests it's during the 1970s. This would mean that the show has to take place in the early to mid 90s. If counting the time when the movie came out (01-02), then it would be around 1985. You would expect an 80s aesthetic, not a 70s. Maybe the writers came of age during that era and felt more comfortable doing it? Still pretty weird for a show that's specific enough to be set in Texas.
122	** Well, Retroville itself appears to have a bit of a 1950s-esque aesthetic (hence the name Retroville), probably to act as a tribute to classic sci-fi. 70s aesthetic is a bit of a standard for flashbacks, to the point that it makes them more instantly recognizable. In other words, the aesthetics of the show have more to do with setting atmosphere and tone rather than conforming to a specific time period.
123	** In "The Big Pinch" Jimmy says it's the 21st century, so the show likely takes place around the time it aired. Retroville just has a very fitting name, which could account for the 80s not having an 80s aesthetic.
124	* In "Trading Faces", Carl, Sheen and Libby discard the "Dislike of girls who dislike show-offy boys who dislike girls..." thing, because they can't tell who it belongs to. However, based on the wording it's obviously Jimmy, since it clearly represents a dislike of Cindy. Why didn't they just give it to Jimmy like they clearly should've (besides plot reasons)?
125	** They were too mentally exhausted to think entirely clearly by that point (the montage shows they've been sitting at that desk for hours and taking shifts to sleep).
126	** An alternate way of viewing it is that they were considering the possibility that the memory had to do with self-loathing (one of the most common reasons for a person to be spiteful and angry towards everyone), which if it belonged to Cindy would explain why she's so bitter towards most people, but especially towards Jimmy since he was the source of her feeling like she was inadequate (remember how in the movie she said she was jealous that he took her spot as the smartest kid in class). When looking at the memory from that mindset, it was far less taxing on their sanity to just delete it and move on.
127	* Why is Jimmy and Cindy's relationship so inconsistent? In some episodes they're practically dating and in others their rivalry is just as bad as it was at the beginning.
128	** They're kids -- they don't understand their feelings or how relationships work yet. Sometimes they give in to the attraction they have for each other, and other times, they consciously fight it and suppress it. Their ratio of fighting to flirting ''does'' noticeably seem to change as the series progresses; by "Lady Sings the Blues" near the end of Season 3 (the last episode to air but probably not produced), they're no longer in denial with each other at all (although they don't like sharing their private business with everybody else).
129	* In "Birth of a Salesman", Cindy tries to buy Jimmy when the Willy Loman robot auctions him off. I can understand why Sheen would want to own him since he's an idiot, but what exactly was Cindy hoping to accomplish by literally ''buying'' Jimmy?
130	** Consider the kind of feelings she has for him. How dark a path that particular rabbit hole takes you down depends on where you fall on the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism.
131	* A nitpick, but there's one part in "Granny Baby" when upon explaining his predicament to Cindy and Libby, Jimmy says that he has a "loophole" before correcting himself to "explanation". It seems to be a FreudianSlip on Jimmy's part, but what was the reason for it with regard to the plot?
132	** Most likely a guilty conscience from disobeying his parents(who told him not to experiment on Granny) still subconsciously trying to find a way to excuse doing so.
133	* In "Clash of the cousins" Jimmy specifically orders Carl and Sheen to collect DNA from all ''adult'' family members who carry the genius gene, unaware that the actual culprit is his baby cousin Eddie. But why? As a child genius himself, shouldn't Jimmy ''know'' that another child genius in his family is a possibility?
134	** Maybe Eddie was adopted and therefore isn't genetically related to anyone in the Neutron family.
135	** Eddie is a ''baby''. He's still in diapers and only did baby stuff until the reveal. Even if it crossed Jimmy's mind that Eddie could have inherited that gene, it's understandable why he didn't think it'd be expressing itself yet. (It's been forever since I've seen the series so correct me if I'm wrong, but we don't know how old Jimmy was when he started showing himself to be a genius, do we?)
136	** It wouldn't be the first time Jimmy overlooked a seemingly non-obvious individual for something like this. In "Crime Sheen Investigation", he immediately discounts the squirrels as being the culprits who stole Sheen's Ultra Lord action figure, even though they ended up being responsible.
137	* In "The Big Pinch", Jimmy brings Thomas Edison to the present to disprove Cindy's dates on when the radio was invented, pointing out that the date she claims predated Thomas Edison harnessing electricity. As a side-effect of taking Thomas Edison to the present, everything in Retroville that runs on electricity starts disappearing, Jimmy having essentially undone mankind's harnessing of electricity from history. This would make sense if he brought Edison from before he discovered it, but the moment he is brought to the present he cries out "copyright infringment" at the lightbulb in his lab (Edison having patented the commercially available lightbulb in 1879), implying that Jimmy brought Edison long after he harnassed electricity. Why would electrical appliances start disappearing even if he goes missing long-after this happened?
138	* In the episode "Stranded", Jimmy is supposed to be one of the smartest of his time and he doesn't even know that Australia is a continent. He and Cindy should have both known that is a country ''and'' a continent.
139	** To be fair, Jimmy could have made a mistake and then kept it going, betting that Cindy would eventually give up.
140	** Maybe Jimmy believes in it being called Oceania as the continent, which includes Australia but also places like New Zealand as part of the continent.
141	** [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation It's also possible that they were using the conflict and subsequent trip as an excuse to break away from the others and just spend time together.]]
142	* In "Time Is Money", Past Hugh dismisses the idea of marrying Judy. In the next scene, he says there's something "very special" he's planning on using his last $50 for, which is later revealed by Present Hugh to have been Judy's wedding ring. Despite his speech about he's a "free spirit" too young for marriage, he was already working on his plan to marry her.
143	** Even if he thought himself too young to settle down right then, he could have planned to do so eventually and already decided that Judy was the one for him when the time came. Heck, maybe they had already agreed on a long engagement.
144	** Or, also plausibly, he was just lying about not planning on marrying her. Either because he didn't feel like telling a child about his plans to propose to his girlfriend, he was secretly nervous about it despite having decided to do so and didn't want to talk about it, or he wanted to keep his plans an absolute secret from Judy to make sure his proposal could make its full impact and thus he overspoke to try and cover himself in case she could hear them talking.
145	* In “Vanishing Act”, how does the whole head and body separation thing work? How do the bodies even possess the mental capacity to look for their heads without a… mental? Pure instinct? And theoretically, how long could the heads survive without them? Would they ever get hungry without stomachs?
146	* Why are Jimmy and the gang so crestfallen at the end of "A Beautiful Mine"? Couldn't Jimmy just build a new ship so they could go back and continue mining the asteroid? Presumably, they hadn't mined the entire thing yet. It doesn't even seem to be that they're afraid, either; they seem genuinely distraught that their only attempt has been ruined.
