* If the Meta-Nanites [[spoiler: [[LoyalPhlebotinum are programmed so that only Rex can use the]] [[FullSetBonus Full Set]]]], why did [[spoiler: the Consortium's CombiningMecha trick]] work?



* Does Van Kliess have a motivation I've missed for being a villain, something he hopes to gain? Or is he just in it ForTheEvulz?

** In "End Game", he attempts to claim the Meta-Nanites. Its implied he tried for them before the Event, but it is unclear what his motivations were in between.

* As I recall, in the episode "Leader Of The Pack", there was a hint of saddness in Doctor Holiday's voice when she said Rex had found Circe, as if to imply she was jealous. Then, in "Operation Wingman", there's a gag about Rex wanting her to feel jealousy about him going out with another women and her seemingly not feeling it. Then, in "What Lies Beneath", the tone of her voice when she says "I didn't know you and Circe were still in touch" seemed to imply jealousy again. Could the writers just not make up their minds on weather or not to ship these two characters, or am I reading too much into the "Leader of the Pack" and "What Lies Beneath" scenes?

* Am I missing something? The recap page has the rest of the episodes and the main page states the series finale. The last episode I watched was "A Brief History of Time", and after that the show just stopped airing. Was there some sort of channel/schedule change I'm not aware of, did they decide to just finish the sereis on DVD, or do you guys just have some info resource on the episodes I'm not aware of?

** Regarding Biowulf and Skalamander - I think it's possible they may have been sapient animal EVOs like Bobo, which means them getting cured would mean reverting back into a wolf and a lizard, which would kind of suck.

** It's possible she just wants Van Kleiss for her Dollhouse. On another note, I want to know why she took Skalamander, since his mutation looks kind of painful and he might want to be cured. In any case, all of Abysus is going to get turned on its ass, since it was populated by EVOs and Biowulf was a good ruler of a nation of ''Evos'', rather than a nation of ''cured evos''. So who knows what the pack will do with their lives anymore. The only thing you might hazard a guess at is that they sure as hell won't let Van Kleiss call the shots anymore.

* Why did Breach save Van Kleiss from being cured, after everything he had done to her? I can assume she saved the rest of the Pack out of a sense of loyalty, but I'm pretty sure Rex opened her eyes on how wrong Van Kleiss had treated her before. This question goes for the rest of the Pack as well. Are they are going to just return to being terrorist group with Van Kleiss leading them? After everything they were through and their alliance with Rex this seems to be to be quite unlikly.

** Because it's more obscure, Rex needed an EvilCounterpart, and time travel is cool. Besides, the mechanical one is somewhat necessary if you intend to build machines that tie the forces together. It's like the glue.

* Why, oh why, didn't the Meta-Nanites control the Four Fundamental Forces? They used 2 of them, gravity and electromagnetism! And then temperature, time, and ...machines? It's just so odd. Especially since the other 2 forces, strong and weak nuclear forces, could be easily handwaved as ElementalPowers and ILoveNuclearPower respectively. Could the writers not think that up, or were they just totally unaware of the Four Interactions?

* What's the age difference between Rex and Caesar? I assumed it was a pretty big one, at least 10 years considering Caesar looks at least like 5 years older than him, and also spent 5 years not aging by our perspective during that time thing. But in that video played in "hermanos" he didn't look all that much older than rex.

** Rex wasn't being paranoid and he had a good reason. Until the worm, he had no idea how they got control of the Evos. These guys came in and started blasting it with a brainwashing ray, which got his attention. Then they herded them into tiny cells to be collared like animals. ''Then'' they used it on Bobo. By this point it's clear: they aren't trying to help the Evos, they're ''exploiting them''.

*** He didn't want the SENTIENT EVOs brainwashed. He only freaked out when he saw that they were controlling Bobo. [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill Some people think that mind controlling sentient creatures is wrong.]] You might say Bobo is an ass, but being an ass doesn't mean you deserve to get your free will taken away.

** That's the thing, the only reason Black Knight was going to brainwash him was that for some reason he didn't want the E.V.O.s to be brainwashed. The reason why is beyond me.

** Apart from the potential for good of these things, there is also the Consortium's reaction to the destruction of the nanite to take into acount. For all we know, they might decide to utterly annihilate White and his little operation in retaliation. As it is now, the nanites could even make for prime bargaining chips or blackmail material in case Providence really gains the upper hand.



** It's such an obvious target that I wouldn't be surprised if White Knight didn't have some sort of protection measures. Also, Black Knight tried for a long time to have relatively cordial relations with Rex despite the fact that he quit, taking Noah hostage wouldn't have helped. Who knows, now that the gloves are off, maybe Noah will become a target in a latter episode.

*** Which raises another interesting point: Technically, Noah was an ''employee''. Providence paid him to hang out with Rex, but I don't think it was ever shown that he stopped taking the money after they [[BecomingTheMask became friends for real]]. Was he "let go" when Rex disappeared for six months? Is he still being paid due to an administrative oversight? ''Why did he take the job in the first place?'' So many questions.



** I assumed that the land of Abysus was 'cured' as the same time as Van Kleiss. From his resurrection on, he isn't dependent on the soil of Abysus to survive anymore, so some stability must have been brought to both him and the land by Rex.

** It's not exactly something you can smash. It's one single nanite. Besides, even if he doesn't want them to have that power, that kind of knowledge is not something you want to destroy. He most likely wants it used for good.
