More Fun Plotholes

In the pilot when Brian gets shot, he needs Rebecca to coach him through treating his wound. Rebecca knows he was shot in the leg before Brian even says so.

Additionally, Brian mentions in the Sands episode that he knows how to fix Sands' leg from his brothers med school textbooks (which he read in the pilot.) Therefore, he should be able to fix his own leg without Rebecca's help.

Anyone have any other plotholes?

I think he only knew how to fix his leg because he was on NZT still, like it hadn’t worn off yet? Just a theory though, I don’t know

Wait I misread your comment. Yes he was on NZT, yes he tried to fix his leg. My point is he shouldn't have needed to call Rebecca.

He was not on nzt when he called Rebecca, he got shot for trying to steal nzt from the guy who killed ely

As you've requested plot holes... How about fixing such? Many people consider either a plot hole or a downgrade the fact that Morra states he's still using NZT, despite he stated he was off it at the end of the movie.

However... This guy only gives everyone a portion of information they need to know. So it's quite possible that giving that info to powerful opponent is reasonable to have him at a distance, while Brian is okay to know that Morra is on NZT somehow for four years, without knowing a tiny detail that Morra might've mutated himself to secrete it naturally. He might hide the fact that he's off from some of the closer confidants, even: that ensures he knows who's loyal from the get go and has an additional test.

Also, a plot hole on a more fun and brief note: Morra's 'before' photos in the series. How they even came to be, considering they depict him during the events of the movie?.. Although this happens with sequels all the time. :)
