** They did discuss that very option at the beginning of the experiment. The one person does make the valid-at-the-time point that it would disrupt the experiment and make the entire time they spent preparing go down the drain; which when faced with two people of unknown talents is logical. They did eventually kick out the idiots after a certain point, but the idiots then went back in to genuinely help. You have to remember that part of the movie. |

** They do hammer on the precise amount of days for the sake of stability, but really, it does stress the suspense of disbelief to not worry at least as much about the exact amount of people present. |

*** The scientists bring this up as well, with the head scientist replying that the system will have to adapt to the two extra bodies. Also one thing you have to keep in mind that the movie comes right up to the point of saying outright but doesn't quite is that the biodome is a ''huge'' publicity stunt... the fact that it won't open up again for an entire year is part of the publicity that the investors have been using to build hype, and thus why the door is sealed so thoroughly the scientists can't even open it if they want to. If they opened the dome to eject Bud and Doyle, the publicity of "it won't open for an entire year" would be tanked and everyone involved would be out a lot of money. |

* ''[[Rosemary's Baby]]''. Call home to Mom, have her buy you a train ticket. Since everyone around is being creepy and lying to you, and the honest ones are dying, just go back to Nebraska or wherever. And since those special witch foods aren't available back home, that should solve the problem of the inconvenient pregnancy. |

** Maybe harder to understand several decades later, but Rosemary doesn't do this because of her several personality traits, for which she was specifically chosen by the witches. She's the type of good Catholic girl who won't leave her husband, or have an abortion, no matter what. She's also the sort of person to remain in denial about a situation as long as she possibly can, so that she will continue to convince herself everything is just fine long past the point that another woman would go running for help. In fact, that was the mistake the witches made the first time was not being careful enough to select someone who would keep telling herself all the warning signs were just her imagination, and had to help her into suicide. |

** In the third film, Mary Jane is forced by the New Goblin to ditch Peter Parker, on pain of death. She doesn't even explain to Peter why she is dumping him, which brings up the obvious question: why doesn't she just tell him what the New Goblin is doing? He's Spider-Man! |

* "Stagecoach". John Ford was once asked why, during the climactic chase scene, the Indians didn't just shoot the horses to stop the stagecoach? "Because the movie would have ended right there", he replied. |
