Lost Tapes/Headscratchers

• Why are they saying the werewolf does not change into full wolf or what ever? She could have been not done changing.
  • Why are they saying that? The example given for transformation in primates is the mandrill. Not that much of a change all things considered. People are just conditioned to see a massive transformation in lycanthropes, I guess.

• The episode was awesome one of there best ones but way did they do Zombie? There not animals, Did they even mention animals besides human and zombie?
  • They didn't, despite numerous animal zombies in nature both animal and fungal. A big miss.

• Every purely supernatural creature from the most recent Poltergeist to the original season's Skinwalker are just epic pieces of "Why is this on animal planet again?"
  • Simple answer: It's all about the ratings.
  • Well I think being a shapeshifter the skinwalker should count. What I don't get is what was he traying to do.

• Enigma Corporation, if thats not the name for people you send in when you think it's paranormal nothing is. And yet there not what gives?
  • Frankly they should fire who ever thought the Puzzle piece logo was a good idea.
  • I like it.

• Why the bloody hell didn't any of the three cops fire off a single shot in Devil Monkey? You'd think being attacked by giant flesh eating monkeys would be good enough reason to pull the trigger.
  • Because if they did it would give away their location to the other monkeys and they'd be even more screwed
    • The Two agents maybe since they were stupid to be out in the open and under trees, but the sheriff is particularly stupid. If he had just wasted the one in the shed, him and the reporter could have easily picked off the rest that would have funneled through the doorway. Instead he sees a threat, fully turns to tell the reporter to flee since you know your buddies outside have just been killed, send the defenseless women outside... Really the whole last 3 minutes is Too Dumb to Live incarnate

• Was it Bigfoot in Predator Mask or A Predator in a Bigfoot Suit?
  • Context is for the weak, it is?

• Why did Mooney stab Q instead of just blowing its brains out to begin with? If the dagger brought him into the world, why would it be the best chance of taking him out?
  • It's called being Genre Savvy. It's rather clear they were perfectly accepting the possibilty Q was supernatural, so clearly the beast thing to do in that situation is use something that's supernatural against it. The dagger was able to bring Q to life (she didn't know Q had been growing the entire time, so she thought Q was summoned by it), so it's supernatural and clearly the best option. And considering Q screamed in pain when stabbed with it, it clearly worked. For all we know, that might have been why machine gun fire hurt it.
    • But if Q is an immortal entity, he cannot be hurt or killed as, keep in mind, HE IS A FUCKING GOD!!
    • Thus why a supernatural weapon would be the best choice. And not all mythological Gods are immortal. I think Aztecs are among the ones who believed Gods could be killed.
    • Um, remember, gods can't die or be killed.
      • Says who?
      • It's like the first rule of immortality, that you can't die or be killed.
      • And not all Gods are immortal. Baldr from Norse Mythology was killed mistletoe and all the gods will die at Ragnarök. In one myth Quetzalcoatl kills himself and his heart becomes a star.

• For being one of the favorites, the episode Devil Dragon has one massive plot hole. The entire conclusion is based on the premise that he was bitten by the creature earlier, was infected by the bacteria in its mouth and then dragged off at the end. However, there are a few problems. First off, the guy was bitten by the creature and treated it almost as a bug bite or snakebite. Yeah there were some pretty big red marks on his arm, but he doesn't seem to realize that he was just bitten by a lizard that ranges from fifteen to nearly thirty feet in length, which is a bit of a reach even if it was a matter of this being one of the smaller specimens. Secondly, given that the Megalania's behavior in the episode was plainly supposed to be based off of Komodo Dragon behavior (which they said as much during the episode itself), and that the Komodo Dragon ascribes to the same school off "Attack Once for Massive Damage" as the Great White Shark, before retreating to wait for the target to bleed out/weaken from infection, the hiker should have had a chunk of his arm ripped the hell off, not those lame bite marks. Kind of sad really.
  • Early series lack of budget. The future seasons had much higher budgets, so gore couldn't be nearly as good. If it'd been a season 2 episode, odds are it'd have been a much more severe wound.
• Why is Quetzalcoatl evil? He was the only god that not only didn't need sacrifices, but frowned upon them.
  • There is the WMG that the cultists seriously messed up and either summoned the wrong god or corrupted it summoning it by sacrifices. Or just ticked him off sending him on a rampage.

• Does no one know that videocameras have a VCR function that allow you to see what you just shot? So when people say, "What? What?" you can actually show them?
  • In some cases, it might just be that that was either not what they were focusing on or they brushed it off as nothing.
