What plot holes could be adequately explained away with a single shot or line of dialogue? - eviltoast

“We’ve almost got some of their telecommunications cracked; the front end even runs on a laptop!” The Mac that sunk a thousand ships could have been merely clunky product placement, not a bafflingly stupid tech-on-film moment.

“Senator Amidala is in a coma. Even if she recovers, she will never be the same and may not live long.” But no… George had to have his god-damned funeral scene, even if it demanded Simone Biles levels of mental gymnastics to save Carrie Fisher’s most emotionally resonant moment from ROTJ, as well as one of the more intriguing OT lore dumps.

Bonus points if a scene was scripted or filmed and got cut.

      Matt Smith’s character in HOTD is actually The Eleventh Doctor, during his several hundred year run off screen. He spends much of GoT working to remember where he left the TARDIS, so that he could ferry the plot along in S6+

        Your comment’s weird, but not downvote level weird? Certainly not more downvotes than upvotes level weird… are people reading this comment in different ways?

          Ha! How about that. I didn’t even know my dumb joke was getting downvotes. Either we’ve got some people who really prefer other responses, or we found the last bastion of late-season GoT fans on the internet.

          I wouldn’t think about it too much. People downvote for the strangest reasons. Also OP doesn’t care and didn’t even notice. Which is the best take on votes I think.
