10 TV And Film Plot Holes That Ruined My Life

NBC Universal

Have you ever finished a TV show or movie and thought that it was really good, but then lay awake at night thinking about all the things that were unexplained or didn't happen when they should have? I do, all the time. Here are ten plot holes that ruined my life - spoiler alerts ahead.

1. Niklaus and Elijah Mikaelson's Death

Giphy

As stated in the TV show "The Vampire Diaries," when one Original vampire is killed every vampire that came from their bloodline dies with them. We saw that when Finn and Kol were killed. So, in "The Originals" when Niklaus and Elijah die in the series finale that means that Caroline, Tyler, and many other people should be dead. Yet this isn't mentioned. I have scoured the internet but apparently, Caroline is still alive. PLOT HOLE!

2. Peter Pettigrew Discovery

Giphy

We know that in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" Harry discovers that Peter Pettigrew is still alive when he sees him on the Mauraders Map. But we also know that Fred and George Weasley had that map since their first year at Hogwarts. In the time that they had the map, they never noticed that there were two men sleeping in their brother Ron or Percy's bed while at Hogwarts. And considering how often they eluded to them using the map I find that hard to believe. PLOT HOLE!

3. Harry Potter and His Threstal Discovery

Giphy

So we learn about Threstals in "Order of the Phoenix." We learn that they are only visible to those who have seen death. So why was Harry only able to see them at the beginning of his fifth year? I mean, I can maybe get behind that he was too young when his mom died in front of him for it to count. But, he watched Cedric Diggory die in his fourth year. Therefore, he should have been able to see them at the end of his fourth year when they took the carriages to get to the train. PLOT HOLE!

4. Steve Going Back In Time

Giphy

So if anyone watched "Endgame," they know that Steve decided to ditch everyone he cares about (including "I'm with you 'til the end of the line" Bucky Barnes) to live in the past with his love interest Peggy Carter. So, I have a lot to say about this. Let's start out by saying that we learned in the Winter Soldier that Peggy married someone else, so he screwed that guy over. We also know that in the future he makes out with Peggy's niece, who is now related to him. Gross. He decided to change the past to benefit himself but decided to leave "I'm with you 'til the end of the line" Bucky Barnes in the clutches of Hydra. He also screwed himself over because now nobody is going to look for him in the ice meaning the real him from that timeline is going to be frozen forever. Way to go Steve, hope it was worth it. PLOT HOLE!

5. Big Bang in the Elevator

Giphy

As anyone who watches "Big Bang Theory" knows, the elevator in Sheldon and Leonard's apartment building is broken. In season one Leonard informs Howard and Raj of this when asked, but states he doesn't know why. Except later on in the show, we get a flashback episode showing that Leonard and the gang were the cause of the malfunction. So why did Leonard need to explain it to them way back in the beginning of the show? PLOT HOLE!

6. Dexter Murders

Giphy

Dexter is known for being careful when it comes to committing his crimes. Yet, he seems to always use his desktop at work, a.k.a. the police station, to research his next victim. Does nobody find it suspicious that the people that he searches on his work computer turn up missing the next day? PLOT HOLE!

7. The New Office Daddy

Giphy

In the final season of "The Office, we see Angela tell Dwight that she lied about who her son's biological father was and that he was Phillip's real dad. Which is all well and good except for the fact that like a season before this Dwight did a paternity test on the kid and it came back negative. So... something either went wrong or someone is lying. Either way, Dwight should have some questions. PLOT HOLE!

8. To High School We Go

Giphy

The viewers of "Teen Wolf" know that Malia was stuck as a were-coyote for most of her life. Before Scott and the gang could turn her back she was only at a third grade level of education. Yet she is able to slip straight into high school, no questions asked. Shouldn't she have needed to pass some tests to prove that she was able to handle the course load after being missing for so long? PLOT HOLE!

9. The One Where They Meet Again

Giphy

In the very first episode of "Friends," we see Monica introduce Rachel to the gang. The only people she knew going into it were Monica and Ross, except later on in the show they use flashbacks to show that Rachel had actually already met Chandler. Hell, she kissed the guy at a college party for goodness sakes. PLOT HOLE!

10. Santa Isn't Real

Giphy

As everyone knows, when you hit that age where you are "too old to believe in Santa," your parents gently break the news to you. But in the world of the "Santa Clause," adults should never stop believing. Do parents not question the random stuff that their kid gets on Christmas? Stuff that they definitely didn't buy and that shouldn't be under the tree. It just doesn't make sense that adults don't believe when the magic is happening right under their noses. PLOT HOLE!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
