- Considering both of their interests of researching and discovering new things, how come neither Dipper or Ford bothered to decode Blendin's secret message? The fact that the message was written in a cryptogram would have made both Dipper and Ford interested in finding out what it says.
- They couldn't have. If either of them had, it would have most likely resulted in Weirdmageddon never happening (either by causing Ford to catch on as to Bill using him or by causing Dipper to tell Mabel about the rift), which, in turn, would have caused the letter itself to never be written in the first place, resulting in a paradox. We can assume the timeline self-corrected, circumstances conspiring to ensure they never ended up solving it.
- Considering that Time Baby has the ability to control time and space, how come he didn't foresee that his and the entire Time Police's constant teasing of Blendin Blandin would result in Bill Cipher possessing him to jumpstart Weirdmageddon?
- Since Blendin ended up stuck in the 1800s, how come the Time Police never bothered to look for him in that time period? Unless they did, and Blendin growing a mustache was enough to fool them.
- In one of Ford's anecdotes, he mentions that he brought a shrunken head to school for show-and-tell, but how is it possible that all of the other students brought a football or something to do with football, even the girls? I'm pretty sure girls were not raised to be obsessed with football in the 1960's.
- Presuming this was in elementary school, there's a high chance that Ford didn't count the girls, because in terms of the male social ladder, what the girls were doing didn't count. In elementary school, the behaviour of the girls has very little impact on what is 'cool' among the boys (and vice versa) because they're usually still at the age where the opposite gender is a kind of gross foreign concept.
