** Not really, you can buy thermisters ten a penny (well not literally, but they are cheap) from any electronics hobbyist shop. Infra-red cameras are surprisingly cheap as well.

[[WMG: Didi is half-adopted.]]
That is, one of her parents is her step-parent who adopted her after marrying her biological parent. Her younger brother Ben who appeared in two episodes is explicitly stated to be her ''half''-brother. Additionally, while Ben resembles both Boris and Minka, Didi's thin frame and small facial features are nothing like the rest of her family. Because she shares curly hair and a need for glasses with Minka, it's probably Boris who is the step-parent.

They explains the plot differences, voice differences, and personality differences. However we don't always grow up the way we wanted to.

*Angelica's manifestation of white guilt:

** Alternatively, it's possible to read Angelica as a tragic figure in the grip of the dark feminine power, while Susie can be explained as the 'light alter ego' that Angelica doesn't consciously know she's lost access to. To Angelica, Susie is the kind of girl she imagines she'd be if she actually had the love and support of her family - while Angelica controls the imaginary Rugrats and attempts to dominate them, Susie is what Angelica might have been if she'd had the chance to love and be loved instead of immersing herself in make-believe.

*Also, Doctor Lipschitz and the psychiatrist the family visits in "Mama Trauma" are actually specialists helping Didi deal with the loss of her child, rather than a child pyschologist. After all, a woman who is so obsessed with her child's actions that she would drag him to a shrink doesn't seem likely to let that same child wander out of her sight constantly.

*This makes a lot of sense if you consider the insane adventures that the babies have, mostly when Angelica's not around--they do things that would kill any normal baby, and their parents never notice they've gone missing. Imagine that the babies are toys Angelica plays with when she's at her aunt and uncle's, and when she's not there she's imagining them having crazy adventures. When she is there, she's mostly in charge of the situation.

I was just thinking about it and realized that it could make a lot of sense if they all were just sort of the same dynamic when they were younger even if the roles don't plot out perfectly to their children so the Rugrats themselves are sort of like a repeat generation.

At the end of the episode, the younger characters were shown to be in bed when Angelica was on a desert planet. This could also explain the show's declining quality because all episodes after that are the increasingly incoherent fantasies of a three-year-old who is slowly dying of dehydration.

* Also, this is sort of canon, considering the line in one episode of AllGrownUp where Lil said something along the lines of "I wonder what Dil would be like if we hadn't dropped him on his head" while Tommy was spying on them with his digital camera ( ItMakesSenseInContext )

During the events of the episode "Toy Palace" (Where Tommy and Chuckie are locked inside a toy store after hours), the series forks into two {{Alternate Universe}}s; one where both Tommy and Chuckie are reunited with their dads, and one where only Chuckie is, as Tommy stumbles into the fully functional toy time machine and is sent forward in time to several years after the events of StarTrekTheOriginalSeries; where he's taken into the care of a new family, takes on a new name given, and grows up to be the captain of the Enterprise-D.

In reality, Chuckie died along with his mother, which is why Chaz is such a nervous wreck. Tommy was stillborn which causes Stu to sit in the basement making toys for his son that never had a chance to live, and the DeVilles had an abortion. Angelica couldn't decide whether the unborn child would be male or female and thus simply invented the same character in her head twice with different genders.

Chuckie's supposedly imaginary friend from the episode "My Friend Barney" really was an invisible boy who lived in a castle and when to "prisom" because he didn't eat his vegetables.

In the first movie, after he's born, all the newborn babies in the hospital are, like the Rugrats, able to talk to each other. Dill does not speak at first, and then barely ever communicates anything to the other babies for the rest of the series. He's a baby even to the babies. The All Grown Up series issued a {{Retcon}}, making Dill just "weird" instead of mentally disabled.

Just from the way she says "Mommy went to the doctor this morning, and... she's ''not'' going to have a baby after all." She also got a lot of pressure and Angelica begging for her to not have the baby, and why would the doctor just think she was pregnant when she wasn't (unless it was the same one that thought Angelica "Peaches" broke her leg...)?
