Now this is true, but the Death Star was the intimidation model of the century. It could blow up planets in the blink of an eye! No one would stand against it. Also, the empire had enough money to not only build the Death Star, but to rebuild right after it got destroyed!GrandAm said:
There is an answer to that, but unfortunately it just opens another holesSonicKoala said:
It is implied throughout the movie that just about every living prawn on earth was a "worker" or "drone", while the more intelligent aliens seemed to have died prior to the arrival on earth (with the exception of at least Christopher). For one thing, they may be just too "dumb" to use their weapons (although that is not likely, since you see prawns using human weapons and even one commanding one of the mechs).
More likely all the aliens are used to have a strict, insect-like chain of command, and as thier "leaders" died, they were very confused and frightened and pretty much unable to do a bit of thinking of their own, so they are easily ordered around by the seemingly helpful humans...

But i'd like to add a bit of my own theory
First off, as said, the Humans USED to be helpful and nice to the aliens at first. And since the aliens have no idea about anything regarding earth, they just know what the humans allowed them to see. And the aliens were probably too grateful and naive to start to think about how they can make themselves autonomous. So as the humans became more abusive, the aliens were pretty much completely dependent on their new Human Overlords (*g*)
And second, so yes, there are a quarter million aliens with awesome, powerful weapons. That still does not make them invincible. They don't have impenetrable shields or something, so the first thing the humans probably do when the aliens start to turn against them is to blow them away with a few bombers. Since the humans outnumber the aliens by far, and since the aliens are stored conveniently at one place, a "prawn resistance" would hardly survive for a month

ok here is a plot CRATER: the fact that Skynet exist in Terminator 3 since ALL research prototypes and even the procesor from the first terminator got destroied
I think that was because the planet is called a "shield world" it was supposed to allow the forerunner to survive the halos, but the flood got there before the halos were used and infected the planet, and when the covenant went in for the forerunner ships and the humans followed them, the flood managed to escape.yersimapestis said:
I have two words that will help any of you understand glaring plot holes:
Bad Writing.
A good writer thinks out such things as character motivations, plot twists, complications, etc, etc. A bad one... well, that's where you get Twilight and the Star Wars prequels. Bad writing is something everyone can spot, even if they have haven't gotten some otherwise useless literature degree. You know it when you see it, because something will just strike you as WHA-HuuuUUUH?
So there you go.

and the eye of Palatine, 2 suncrushers, seed the outer Rim with the those loyal to the "Hand of Thrawn." and how many SSD's? like 8? Executor was the flag ship but was in no way the only SSD.
Assassins Creed II -
The end were Mithra talks to Desmond, so the animus isnt a first person perspective to Desmond? Or when you fight Pope Alexander II why does he not use his staff on you again after you enter the vault after sparing his life? Or all the weapons you dropped on the floor before you fought?
Here's a plot holes for you (paraphrased for space)
Return of the Jedi:
Luke: Do you remember your mother?
Leia: Yeah. She died when I was very young.
Damn that woman had a great memory, considering the end of Revenge of the Sith and how freakin young she was.
Also making a case for sloppy (read: bad) writing causing plot holes, I present the recent Doctor Who special (again paraphrased)
How annoying.

Dr: Hey, I'm gonna change the course of history when I know I shouldn't, regardless of the fact it could change the course of history forever and cause multiple universe imploding paradoxes.
Should be dead lady: Hey, didn't Rose try and do this in Season 1 and the whole world got eaten by paradox monsters? And why are you completely out of character? *dies anyway*

Tolkien answered this question in a letter after the story was published. He said that other than the obvious dramatic issues, he didn't want majestic eagles to be relegated to a "Middle Earth taxi service."IronDuke said:
Also, even though orcs aren't the smartest soldiers ever, they would notice a huge 20 ft eagle and shoot at them. The whole plan was based on secrecy and deception, something eagles lack. It is also implied that they can be corrupted. It may be difficult for the Ring to have an effect, but it is possible.
What is worse: A corrupted Hobbit, or a massive flying, razor clawed death machine?
I don't like to brag, but do I have a good one.
In The Terminator Kyle says that the time displacement device would ony allow living matter to go back in time. The T-101 is a machine surrouded by living tissue so it's able to enter. But the T-1000 from T2 is pure metal so what the hell went wrong there.

The way I understood it, he was still fertile, it just the females become sterile. Their bodies can't change in the way a pregnancy would require. The males, however, could still feasibly produce viable sperm. They have to replenish venom and process nourishment, so some biological activity still must be going on. Since this is a fantasy style novel, there is no reason to assume it is impossible.
Ok, Half Life one and two and the episodes.
Maybe this will all get cleared up in Ep3 but damn, this is confusing and its bugging me because I really want to know!
WTF is up with the ending? You kill the dude and then you are teleported to a subway car and are forced to walk into a portal? Is when you walk off that car when the second game starts?
What is the deal with the g-man at the end of the game also? He just appears and says that he will call you when you are needed next.
Ok at the beginning of Ep1 you are saved by Vorts, but at the end of HL 2 you are taken away by the G-man...what? Also, Ep 2 right before Eli dies he talks about how proud he is and there is alot of stuff they need to talk about and how Alyx could not know.

I think its because they were meant to be a population consisting entirely of "idiots" or at the very least, completely uneducated "slightly feral" creatures.SonicKoala said:
It would've made more sense to explain why TWO of them were smart, as opposed to the food obsessed rest.
