* If someone flows into the lost forever hole (unlikely but still), then... do they just fall forever, no afterlife, no death?death?
* The episode “Big Funky Cloud” introduces something called the “lost forever hole” that literally deletes anything that falls down it from existence, presumably including living beings. Essentially, it’s the veil from {{HarryPotter}}. Sure, it exists in a world mainly populated by dragons, can easily avoid it by flying away from it, but the kids (and flightless inhabitants) obviously don’t have that kind of protection. Thankfully it’s never visited, but just knowing it exists it makes the generally safe environment of Dragon Land a whole lot scarier.

** There's no telling how many children have ended up trapped in Dragon Land where their parents [[AdultFear can never find them]]. The very talented lonely dragon from long long ago, sent out dragon scales to bring children from our world to hers. So desperate for companionship, she didn't include the part of the spell on her scales that sends them home. Emmy and Max were lucky to have met Quetzal who knew how to modify the scale's teleportation spell.

** The show was never really specific about whether time is effected in the real world while Max and Emmy are teleporting to Dragon Land and back. While most episodes they return to the playroom and it looks exactly like how they left it, sometimes the kids teleport to Dragon Land just as it's daylight at their house and return to the real world when it's nighttime. It just keeps alternating. Is time affected in the real world affected while kids are in Dragon Land?

** Max and Emmy could've gotten [[GiantFootOfStomping stepped on]] (or unknowingly [[SwallowedWhole eaten]]) by their gigantic dragon friends when they once accidentally shrink down to ant-size by the blooming Shrinking Violets. Cassie understandably [[OhCrap panics]] when she realized what became of them. So Dragon Land is not a safe place if you're inexperienced (and don't study your botany).

* "The Talent Pool" offers a sobering but brilliant reason for why the Talent Pool doesn't have friends, and why it had to be Cassie to befriend her. Most dragons only come because they want a talent or to discover what their talent is. They only stick around for so long, but never to ask the Talent Pool about her life or what she wants. Cassie may have also wanted a talent, but she's also a sweet kid, and that allowed her to do what no dragon had ever done before: ask to be her friend.

* FridgeHorror: "Goodbye little Catterpoozie" has Cassie believe her died when in reality, it was going through metamorphosis. Some cultures consider metamorphosis a form of death and rebirth into something else. Fittingly, Poozie's change from a caterpoozle into a fairy was a kind of rebirth from a mere pet into her own creature.
** Fridge-Heartwarming: Perhaps it counts as an AccidentalAesop that even when a pet passes on, they don't die so much as they [[{{Symbolism}} live on in another form]], be it in our memories or something else entirely.

** The four main Dragon characters are implied to have parents, who, if they show up, are shown to be much larger than them, and yet, Quetzal, a dragon much older than the four, is only about two feet taller than Ord. Ummmm....
*** Miniature senior citizen?
*** Or it could be part of Quetzal's Stealth Mentor gig. He probably intentionally represents himself as smaller than he is in order to better relate to the children as a guide so they don't treat him as a parent.
*** It may also be because Quetzal is a teacher for young children. Ever notice how human teachers will try to get down to their students' level when possible. This might just be the fantastic equivalent, especially since we see the child dragons being able to alter their shape if they're the same basic type of dragon as Quetzal (single head) so it might be a racial skill.
** How come Cassie and even Quetzal didn't immediately recognize that Poozie the Caterpoozle was just in a cocoon and not actually dead in "Goodbye Little Caterpoozle"? Max, Emmy, Ord, Zak, and Wheezie, I can understand since they aren't so knowledgeable about that sort of thing. But Cassie and Quetzal are consistently portrayed as the smartest characters in the show. You'd think they'd know something like this!
*** While Cassie is pretty smart, she still has a lot to learn. Quetzal, by comparison, was a case of PoorCommunicationKills. He didn't arrive on the scene until after the cocoon had been wrapped in a leaf, and nobody mentioned that Cassie's pet that "died" was a caterpoozle. So he took them at their word and held a brief funeral. Once he finally found out that Poozie had been a caterpoozle, he understood exactly what had happened, and led them back to the "funeral" site in time to unwrap the leaf and watch Poozie come out as a butterfairy.

*** Given the premise, that a magical dragon sent scales out into other worlds to find people who could come and visit, it's likely just a loan word.



**** Well, that went dark in a hurry. Given the way the dragons look and act, their parents are more likely to think their kids have made friends with a family of costumers and puppeteers.
