  • What would've happened if all five of the Asshole Victim soldiers had gone to investigate the Worg probe? Would there have been enough tick things to take the fifth dude? Apparently there would've been, since the four guys have a spare to take Mindy over later, but if this is the case, why did they disintegrate the fifth guy rather than take him over, too?
    • Perhaps they knew that physically he wouldn't have been worth it? Or enough of their original personality was there that they still really didn't like him, but were now willing to act on their whims.
      • I dunno about that first theory; Mindy wasn't exactly what I'd call a physically powerful specimen, and being taken over by the robotic tick thing gave her super-strength. I'll go with the "Worg-controlled people are just mindlessly destructive assholes" theory.
  • Speaking of said tick things, apparently they're easy to remove considering how easily Zach knocks off Mindy's. I accept that most of the chase with the taken over soldiers was too chaotic to do that for them, but what about when the one guy climbs into the back? During his scuffle with Hagan, Hagan has ample opportunity to pull the tick off of the back of his neck. I know he has no reason to like these guys, but freeing the soldier from Worg control would've ended the immediate threat the fight with him posed, if nothing else.
    • Its probably easier to get him off/away than it would be to restrain him and get it off. They might be willing to put the effort in for Mindy since she's Hagan's daughter, but some random Jerkass soldier?
  • How did the heroes get the truck to the stadium without being noticed? Before, Herman had to push it. Did he push it to the stadium, too?
    • They fixed it off-screen? Give Woody the time, he could do it.
  • How do they all manage to keep changing clothes with the bulky pieces of the suit on?
    • They only ever wear the suits specially made to be worn over the suit. Specifically, by Adam over all the pieces of the suit; the real question here is how did the military order four more designed around only having one piece each at such short notice?
  • Couldn't Adam have, I don't know, just tried to dodge the blast? It still would've shown Woody how to fire the beam.
    • It’s possible Adam didn’t dodge because of potential collateral damage, especially with Lazer Team on the ground behind him. If he dodged, it might have hit someone/something else and cause more harm. Plus, well, he may see himself as expendable compared to Lazer Team or any civilians nearby.
  • How is Woody still alive? He can't eat or drink anything. Presumably, the helmet allows him to breathe, as he hasn't suffocated yet. Sure, people can survive a few days without food, but dehydration would've already made him unable to do much.
