* One potential explanation for Face's awkwardness when he remembers [[DisabledLoveInterest Lisa]] is blind while trying to kiss her in "[[Recap/TheATeamS3E21WasteEm Waste 'Em!]]" relates to the fact that he has scruples against forcing a woman. A sighted woman can tell when Face is trying to kiss her, but a blind woman couldn't, so he could have accidentally kissed her without being aware that she wasn't aware and had not given (at least) implicit consent. Once she lets him know she sensed/guessed what he was trying to do and is okay with it, he leans in for the kiss.

* Why do the A-Team never hit anyone, despite being trained soldiers? ''Because they're deliberately missing''. They're already wanted for war crimes and breaking out of prison; adding several counts of murder to that wouldn't be a good idea.
** Supported by the fact that you regularly see them taking out tires/etc. from a considerable distance. They're clearly good shots.

* One potential explanation for Face's awkwardness when he realizes [[DisabledLoveInterest Lisa]] is blind after almost kissing her in "[[Recap/TheATeamS3E21WasteEm Waste 'Em!]]" relates to the fact that he has scruples against forcing a woman. A sighted woman can tell when Face is trying to kiss her, but a blind woman couldn't, so he could have accidentally kissed her without being aware that she wasn't aware and had not given (at least) implicit consent.

** Not only that, it was also a RunningGag from the show, where B.A.'s van was regularly damaged in an episode, only to be magically restored in the next episode.

* Technically, Face didn't actually escape. His tanning booth was [[CrowningMomentOfFunny stolen]] by Hannibal with him locked inside it, so would he wind up with the same type of punishment as the rest of the guys?

* [[spoiler:The destruction of B.A.'s iconic van]] at the beginning of the film was sad, but it made it easier for the Team to remain inconspicuous.

* Pike has several chances to kill Face and B.A., but he takes his time and gloats, missing each. This would seem to come into conflict with his disgust at the unprofessional manner in which [[spoiler:Lynch's]] men go about trying to kill him...until you remember Hannibal once called him a 'cartoon character'- everything Pike does, he does it to satisfy his adrenaline rush, and as soon as he gets into a good firing position, he abandons all pretense of finesse and proceeds to unleash the heaviest firepower at his disposal (he is already going guns-blazing [[spoiler:minutes after the A-Team snatched Morrison]] in Berlin, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he is doing so in the middle of a populated area or that he is about to surrounded by the police from all sides). Seems about right that he'd [[EvilGloating suddenly start monologuing as soon as he had the hero in his gunsights.]]

* In "[[Recap/TheATeamS1E13TheBeastFromTheBellyOfABoeing The Beast from the Belly of a Boeing]]", Murdock is found sane by his doctor, who says Murdock is "just as sane as [he is]". [[spoiler: His doctor is later revealed to be insane, and Murdock's release from the VA is overturned.]]

* Technically, Face didn't actually escape. His [[spoiler:tanning booth was [[CrowningMomentOfFunny stolen]] by Hannibal]] with him locked inside it, so would he wind up with the same type of punishment as the rest of the guys?

* When [[spoiler:Hannibal]] fakes his death, why did they send him to the crematorium with his clothes on? (Aside from the fact that it would have been hard to keep that from kicking the rating up a notch otherwise, anyway.)

* In the early Season 1 episodes of ''The A-Team'', it is established that Face, the A-Team's handsome and charming but [[TheBarnum unrepentant]] ConMan, was raised by Catholic priests in an orphanage after they found him when he was five years old. So you think, how did Face become a con man if he was most likely raised religious? Then you think about the tons of recent [[{{Shotacon}} allegations]] against Catholic priests and then you have to wonder: why isn't Face ''more'' messed up and/or does he have any repressed memories hidden in that pretty head of his? As with the ''Suite Life'' example, this had to be unintentional, but looking back, you just can't help but wonder once you think about it...

* B.A. is afraid of flying--yet he is a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he served in the Special Forces, a war where American troops--especially the Special Forces--got around the country in helicopters.

** "[[Recap/TheATeamS2E11Steel Steel]]" similarly featured no involvement from the authorities even though the week's villain was a construction contractor who was actually blowing up a public construction site and actively threatening a rival company from working the city's job. Presumably the city would just get the guy ''arrested'' to avoid losing any more money to him.

* Quite a good one - Murdock's sanity (or lack thereof) was always a point of contention. However, no matter which side of the fence you fall on, it's fairly evident the guy has genuine problems. He does "get better" over the course of the series (although quite obviously still a freewheeling maverick) with the two major crossing points being his breakthrough with Richter in "The Doctor is Out" and after the events of "The Sound of Thunder". Strange but true - watch the character development.
