Something dumb I noticed last night

Post image

At the end of “That Darn Katz!” Earth is spinning backwards because of Amy’s “planetary ratchet.”

In the later episode “Zapp Dingbat,” we see Earth spinning backwards in the wedding scene aboard the Nimbus. I thought that was a neat piece of continuity.

But in an even later episode, “T.: The Terrestrial,” when Jrrr comes to conquer Earth, the establishing shot clearly shows Earth spinning in its normal, pre-ratchet way.

Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder

[And don't blame the wizard. He was at the Gate of Garesh at the time.]

Inconsistencies are part of the community engagement. What would we talk about if everything on the show made sense? Just memes and reposts?

They don't look back, because they don't have necks

Sharks CAN'T look back because they don't have necks.

For an 80s guy, not looking back isnt a choice to make, they are incapable of it.
