- Why was nobody, Ebert included, more horrified by the incest plot?
- What was the vetting process that put the nervy chain-smoking archbishop in charge of the Vatican's finances?
- The Vatican storyline is so hard to follow that it needs a quiz on 40 characters and 19 subplots.
- What happened to the $600 million Immobiliare deal after Mary dies, and did Michael end up running the Vatican Bank's finances?
- The film should have had Michael take Kay to the house where he lived with Apollonia and come clean about the marriage; the idea is accepted as cool.
- Apollonia is argued to be Michael's true love rather than Kay, while another host calls true love the 11th most interesting thing about the trilogy.
