* The peach In “Missing Milo” raises a few Questions. Disregard the fact that the peach is a product of a [[StableTimeLoop Bootstrap Paradox]], the peach would also need to have a few unusual properties. It would have to essentially be static. It can’t decay. It either can’t be bruised or it is from the start and can’t be again (When it hits his head). Otherwise the peach would eventually not be a peach anymore.

The letter must be too because Milo seems to imply that he’s going to do the same with it. To avoid the problem with the letter you just write it on a new paper then it’s just the message that’s the product of the paradox which avoids the violation of the object having to be static.

** And as of "Fungus Among Us" we now know that it's likely the lead is actually a Pistachion replacement, since it was the Pistachion, not the original, who put the present over his hand to conceal his non-human limb.

* With regards to the Doctor Zone Files, Milo and Sara state that the show has a 50 year history, clearly a nod to DoctorWho. However, in every iteration of the show that the Murphy siblings reference, the lead actor playing Doctor Zone seems to be the same individual, and he doesn't appear to be aging at all. So, has the same actor been playing Doctor Zone for fifty years? Or is the MML equivalent of the BBC just very good at pulling TheOtherDarrin?

** Given the dismissive attitude of other time agents and their boss towards them, it's likely Cavendish and Dakota were given a completely pointless assignment with no possibility of success simply because everybody hates them.

Added DiffLines:

* So, we're told that Vinnie and Balthazar are protecting pistachios because the pistachio plants will go extinct by their time. However, the nuts they're protecting are in pistachio carts and stands, meaning they're likely roasted and no longer capable of germinating new plants. So, then wouldn't a more effective strategy for them be to guard pistachio plants, and/or bring back raw pistachios to their timeline to repopulate the species.

** Milo is already a major optimist. He sees his disasters as fun. If his luck warped itself around his interpretations, it'd stop making bad things happen so he has less fun. So if he was a masochist or psycho, bad stuff would still happen, he'd just enjoy it even more.



** To be fair, the Middletown Tigers were already cheating with having teenagers/adults as their football team by holding them back for years. But yeah, I don't know if affecting the other team with Murphy's Law can really be justified. At the least, it's better for Milo to use his luck to support his team than to unintentionally weaken them.

* In the football episode why was it deemed morally acceptable for Milo to weaponize his bad luck against the opposing team? If that happened in ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' that would be considered cheating. IS it cheating to do something like that?

** According to Dan Povenmire on [[https://twitter.com/DanPovenmire/status/793844686666493952 Twitter]], '''Milo Murphy's Law'' takes place immediately after the end of ''Phineas and Ferb''. So, at the earliest, the show could've started the first day of school, and at the latest, it could be about month since then.

* I know this is a weird question, but what if Milo was some sort of masochist or psycho who WANTS bad things to happen? Luck is a subjective thing, what is seen as good luck by one person can be seen as bad luck by another person, [[LogicBomb so what would happen]]?
