* If the bad luck is hereditary, why does Sara not have it?
** WordOfGod has said that it's only inherited by men.
* If the destruction of *The* pistachio plant causes the extinction of pistachios by 2175, that means that that particular plant would HAVE to be the only individual of its species left able to reproduce -- and yes, maybe that leaves sterile crop pistachio plants to keep on being replanted, but if there's no pistachios left in 2175 even counting those which are commercially-farmed, that means that the farms have stopped being harvested. This particular plant isn't mature enough to produce the nut, so where are C+D getting their pistachios to sell?
** If by *The* pistachio plant you mean the one from Missing Milo, then that ''doesn't'' cause the extinction of the pistachio, it was the younger self of king Pistachion, killing it erased him and the Pistachions, but the unmutated trees remain. We need to remember that Pistachios don't go extinct in Milo's time; Brick mentions that the only reason C+D are tasked with saving the pistachio is because Mr Block, who appears to be somewhere between his 40s and his 50s, liked them when he was a kid, suggesing that they actually die out, somewhen around the mid 2100s, the guys were sent back in time to save the pistachio earlier because it is easier to patch a cracked dam than repair a burst one.

[[AC:Battle of the Bands]]
* The Lumbermaxes song for the battle is "Saw Away at My Heart", which is literally the exact same as "Chop Away at My Heart", but with saw replacing chop. Considering that Zack's band did seem to be rather popular, did no one notice or call out on Max for this blatant plagiarism?
** Presumably, the band would have still owned the rights to the song, or at least their record label would have. So, can you be accused of plagiarizing your own work?
** Kind of. Generally the idea of a company releasing the same game but with minor alterations is seen as plagiarism by some. Either way though, I feel as if the crowd, realistically, wouldn't be as cheerful as they were. Unless this whole thing was a TakeThat on how all boy-bands sound the same, which I can totally get behind.

[[AC: World Without Milo]]
* In the Milo-less timeline, Sara is still wearing her Time Ape shirt, even though it's been firmly established that ''Doctor Zone'' exists because Milo traveled back in time (with Cavendish and Dakota, who served as the models for Doctor Zone and Time Ape) and [[StableTimeLoop described the show as he knew it]] to Orton Mahlson.

[[folder:Season 2]]
[[AC: Game Night]]
* Milo reveals to Melissa and Zack that he could never finish a board game. He even states that he could never finish a game of playing cards. ''However'', playing cards is a common activity for Milo and Melissa on their "Not-Football Fridays", as revealed in "Rooting for the Enemy", which implies that either he ''did'' finish a game of playing cards, ''or'' Melissa already knows that Milo never finished a game... despite the fact she ''didn't'' know in this episode.
** She might have known he never finished a cardgame when playing with her, but not that he never finished one period.

[[AC: Penchant o Sleepwalk]]
* I was a little confused as to why Cavendish and Dakota believe they need to wipe out the the Pistachios to prevent the Pistachions coming into existence when it was the unique fusion of a pistachio plant and the sentient blob from the Substitute, but then I realized, they don't know that, they just assume it was a quirk of evolution, meaning the entire species is extinct.

extinct, there is a risk that they could evolve into Pistachions.

* Milo's curse coming from "Probability ions" may seem like simple technobabble, but looking at quantum physics, the idea of a special type of particle that influences probability becomes a lot less far-fetched.

* Regarding the "weaponizing" of Murphy's Law and the morality of such: Murphy's Law states "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." It doesn't state "Anything that can go wrong ''for Milo Murphy,'' will go wrong." Others are affected by Milo (and his male relatives) due to proximity, not familiarity or intent. Like, if only his friends were affected, Eliot, Bradley, and Mr. Chase would be safe, but they're not. Even when he's an actual competitor (say, in the Acadecamathalon), Murphy's Law doesn't conspire to specifically make Milo lose. Therefore, everyone at the football game is already affected by Murphy's Law: both teams, all fans, vendors, equipment, etc. It doesn't matter who he's rooting for. He was already negatively affecting the Tigers just by being there. The Tigers' early lead was based on their clear advantages (being teens/adults against children, being better funded, the Geckos' crushed morale from the "pep" rally). Once Murphy's Law started building up the calamities, the Tigers gain a disadvantage, whereas the Geckos are already used to dealing with Murphy's Law, so they're more able to take things in stride. From there, it's mental. As they realize they actually have a shot of winning this game, they start actually trying, and the Tigers probably aren't used to actual competition.

*** Zack's dad shows up in a later episode, so he'd be okay at least. On the other hand, Melissa's mom is implicitly out of the picture (since her dad had to sign her up for a volunteer program in order to get her a female role model).

* The bad luck in the Murphy family seems to only affect the male members of the family, as it may work like a heriditary disease. [[https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-03/jaaj-xck031606.php It's been proven that women are less susceptible to these]].

*** We never see Zack's dad or Melissa's mom. If Zack and Melissa really are from single-parent households, it's entirely likely there would be ''no adults'' left to take care of things if the time device remained broken.
