YMMV / The Lost Crown

Go To

  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Nigel's bell-induced "vision" among the rocks can come across like this.
  • Fridge Brilliance: The fact that Hardacre is puttering about in the Saxton Caverns on Day Two may actually offer an explanation for why he's been failing to find the Crown himself, all these years: he's been led off-track by Captain Spivey's smuggling operation! If the smugglers used the caverns to hide the artifacts they'd been looting from old sea-eroded Anglo-Saxon sites, then a few of those artifacts must have washed out of the caverns with the tide, leading Hardacre to assume there's an ancient site there. Likewise, if Spivey's journal was right in predicting his ship would eventually run aground on the Pinnacles, then Hardacre might've been surveying those rocks because of artifacts washed up from the smugglers' wrecked vessel.
  • Fridge Logic: Why are the journal and letter left behind by the Molinas in Harbour Cottage written in English? They were immigrants from Spain, so ought to write personal thoughts and any correspondence with relatives back home in Spanish.
    • How is it possible that the contaminated water in the chamber underneath Harbour Cottage was to blame for Christina Molina's death? The basement is flooded because it used to serve as a sheltered boat dock, which means it's seawater down there. The house's drinking water could never have been drawn from that source, and even if the pipes rusted out and contaminated the cottage's plumbing, any such cross-contamination would've made the tainted water too salty for Christina to stomach, even without bacteria in it.
