that can’t be a pullover it’s the core
there wait a minute polar bears don’t
usually move in the jungle spawn all
that writing effort and time yet these
small screen stories didn’t seem to make
a lick of sense now let us welcome our
new Principal Skinner
principal Seymour Skinner ahem
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
biggest TV plot holes these things never
go down good what a system wants you
they get you one way or another for this
list we’re ranking some of the biggest
unanswered questions and plot holes that
have broken the neatly interwoven story
chains found on television we’ve got
something big
yeah but how that we just swallowed our
weapons hey wait a minute
do you guys see what I see these holes
don’t necessarily make the show bad but
they have to be big enough to land an
impact more than enough time for me to
find a guest friend
number ten warp 10 irregularities the
Star Trek franchise warp nine point two
nine point three
my vectors drifting try to stabilize
your field symmetry got it
one thing the Star Trek series writers
could just never agree on was what
happens when you go past warp 10 in a
few episodes of the original 1966 series
and Star Trek The Next Generation the
enterprise zipped around at warp 10 and
Beyond on more than one occasion
possible it can’t go that fast
the result well the ship just went a lot
faster this all gets kicked in the head
however when in the Star Trek Voyager
episode threshold the writers seem to
have forgotten about the existing Canon
and Tom Paris achieves warp 10 in a
shuttlecraft and becomes according to
the Voyager crew the first human to ever
have done so
okay you crossed the threshold you’ve
done it they discovered that warp 10 is
so fast that Paris simultaneously exists
in every point in the universe at once
and has his DNA mutated his body is
going through some sort of mutation his
DNA is rewriting itself that’s funny
considering that no one on the
enterprise ships was affected and
actually seemed a ok after going warp 10
and beyond the onboard sensors confirm
that you did it you made it to warp 10
congratulations mr. Paris you’ve just
made the history books number nine
incorrect healing heroes roommates
Claire Bennet is certainly one of the
luckier teenage cheerleaders out there
with her more than impressive ability of
regenerative health to click of that
hand the pain went away but I think it’s
still kind of what’s healed really
nicely we’ve seen her walk through fire
and nuclear blasts on many occasions but
she didn’t even know she had this
ability until she entered high school
Snowbird
yet when her biological mother reveals
that she believed Claire died in a house
fire as a baby Hiro’s tried to use her
regenerative healing as a means of
explaining how she survived not America
mom you were dead anytime someone rises
from the dead
I’d say that’s a miracle the problem is
that this completely negates the
previous storyline that said she
actually developed her powers when she
was a teenager
number eight bellick’s innocent Prison
Break I had nothing to do with Gary’s
death you hear what I’m saying I’m the
victim here not that son bitch the
saying goes innocent until proven guilty
unless the evidence is completely made
up for the purpose of the plot right
halfway through season two of Prison
Break the former captain of Fox River is
unable to prove his innocence in the
murder of Roy Geary when he’s framed by
t-bag with the use of a particularly
threatening voicemail I don’t find you
because if I did with my word I’m gonna
cut you bow to stern however even fans
could have realized that bellick was
actually in the hospital at that date
and time
and so he should have been proven
innocent
you want to hear it again now this
juncture Brad things go a whole lot
easier for you if you admit to the crime
either this is a huge plot hole for the
Fox River State Police aren’t very good
at their jobs Gallagher you’re under
arrest for the practically murder who I
William here you were right to remain
silent anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law number
seven
how does teleporting work Doctor Who
yeah what do you
teleporting is a very powerful ability
so let’s only use it when it suits the
plot alright don’t get us wrong
we’re not letting those artificial
humans who are so infected they can’t
run and yet they can somehow climb from
new earth off scott-free either put your
hands on the app but for this entry
we’re going with Lupton’s capturing of
the blue crystal and his immense power
to teleport himself behind the 3d
controller I’ve just spotted a silver
hovercraft being chased by an old croc
at 90 miles an hour
and there’s a little tiny Le Coq drawn
from both after much diligence into the
investigation the doctor pursues Lupton
in a multi-vehicle chase and yet we find
out at the end of it that leptin could
have just teleported away from it at any
point
so the obvious question here is why
didn’t he just do that this mishap is
remembered by fans as truly one of the
more simple moments in a usually clever
series
it’s got away
number six absent students Mighty
Morphin Power Rangers come in Zona Power
Rangers I need you at the command center
immediately run away secret identities
are always awesome on TV especially when
they’re so well hidden but here it
really isn’t in Mighty Morphin Power
Rangers the world is consistently
ravaged and destroyed with only a group
of teenagers with attitude to defend it
what’s strange is that no one seems to
notice the six empty chairs at Angel
Grove high school every time the world
needs saving five superheroes save the
park from this zombie guy and they call
themselves the Power Rangers we could
apply this type of question to many
other TV shows that have teenage
superheroes but as nearly every attack
on this live-action children’s series
takes place during school hours we just
can’t ignore a world where something
like this would simply be ignored it
appears my communicators malfunction
number five
Ross’s first time friends my first time
with kernels what it was my first the
love life of New York’s favorite awkward
roommate charger has always been under
scrutiny probably because he can’t get
it straight himself what if we were to
tie each other up as most know Ross’s
former wife Carol came out as a lesbian
and instigated their divorce what is it
that she left you that she likes women
that she left him for another woman that
likes women
a little louder okay I think there’s a
man on the 12th floor in a coma who
didn’t quite hear you after which the
newly found singleton admits to his
friends that she took not only his
possessions but also his virginity with
Carol
Oh or at least that’s the story Ross
keeps up for years until a certain
back-and-forth in season seven realigns
the audience’s view on his sexual
history in college Chandler got drunk
and slept with a lady who cleaned our
dorm that was you so which was it a
sexually adventurous cleaning lady or
your lesbian ex-wife only one can be
your first time and in my defense the
cleaning lady came on to me number four
angels hellish returned Buffy the
Vampire Slayer
this particular vampire certainly has
some shifty powers
despite spike in his gang being able to
break through six feet of steel angel
can’t cut through a thin wire door and
yet he is able to return from Hell
without warning or explanation surviving
Satan himself to return to the living
world is not an easy task and especially
not something to just gloss over so
excuse us while this obvious pothole is
completely glossed over by the show’s
writers and producers we can’t even
imagine how stunned and confused fans
must have been at this shocking moment
number three bye bye Judy family matters
I’m so grandma are you gonna be a June
bride not exactly honey we’d like to get
hit sooner than that
how much sooner in two weeks
so after a heartfelt wedding episode you
tune in next week to see wait weren’t
there more Winslow family members
halfway through the season four run of
the hit sitcom show creator William
Bickley decided to cut out the Winslows
nine year old daughter Judy due to
budget constraints
however crazier still is that no
explanation was given for her obvious
disappearance and that the characters
would have no memory of her or talk
about her ever again put down those
coupons Eddie and Laura finally gave me
that language tape they’ve been
promising us great we got to be a
bilingual family in its own universe
this plot hole is just as creepy as it
is big magic is
number two principal Skinner’s past the
Simpsons I’m an impostor that man is the
real Seymour Skinner let’s talk about
Armand Tam’s Aryan a man you know best
as principal Seymour Skinner the
Springfield Elementary disciplinarian as
a gritty past dating from the Vietnam
War not that you’d hear about it today
on the show or even from the writers
don’t worry they’ll forget just like
they forgot about me and a tiger cage
for 18 agonizing months mr. Tam Zairian
was fighting in Nam alongside the real
Seymour Skinner whom he believed had
died in combat it’s true I was in his
platoon but they said you were killed on
that scouting mission no just captured
so Tams Aryan did the logical thing and
took over his life and identity
unfortunately things get weird when the
real Skinner shows up in Springfield at
the beginning of season 9 I have never
been happier or prouder to be Seymour
Skinner you’re not Seymour Skinner
Skinner dinner I’m Skinner but
ultimately the town decides they’re
happier with the imposter and banished
the real Skinner from Springfield
forever along with any mention of the
incident or the name Armand Thames Aryan
but I’m a hero and we salute you for it
now don’t come back this change to
Skinner’s backstory after years of
investment garnered controversy and
criticism everywhere so perhaps the
resulting silence on the topic is
understandable and I further decree that
everything will be just like it was
before all this happened and no one will
ever mention it again under penalty of
torture before we unveil our number-one
pick here are a few honorable or in this
case dishonorable mentions
my era said I just wanted to tell you
one last time that I love you
I love you too I want you to remember
that every single day until I see you
again daddy loves you
Faithie free place today he’s coming on
nicely
Lygia okay sir
call he’s jumped out of the window he’s
dead
number one the entire series lost
I don’t really know where to start about
why you brought us to the island
what was once a gripping mysterious and
complex series became a befuddled
confusing mess how the mighty did fall I
didn’t pluck any of you out of a happy
existence you were all flawed the holes
of lost are so big we could fit every
WatchMojo video plus a misplaced polar
bear inside them guys this isn’t just
fair it’s a polar bear why do only
certain characters get transported back
to 1977
what was the loophole that killed Jacob
well why is the island underwater at the
start of season six
all these questions and more were left
completely unanswered in one of the
biggest teases ever to hit television
do you agree with our list oh this is
not that bad
which plotholes left you scratching your
head let’s concentrate on how this
anomaly was initially formed speculation
