- A.J. can never break up with Grace after Harry’s sacrifice without destroying the moral premise of their relationship.
- Rockhound’s hero fame, loan shark, criminal exposure, and destructive appetite suggest he may survive only six to twelve months.
- Bear’s Lincoln-bedroom request may need to happen before the presidency changes.
- Harry initially receives a rig, statue, and possible holiday before a later environmental and workplace-behavior reassessment dismantles the hagiography.
- Bay directing Fast and Furious is rejected as too bombastic and likely to create immediate conflict with Vin Diesel; Justin Lin is defended as the franchise’s center.
- The opening 65-million-year cut from dinosaur extinction to the present is proposed as perhaps cinema’s longest temporal jump.
