Megaframe

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: ReBoot: Season Three: Megaframe

The Saucy Mare and her crew finally reach Mainframe, only to find it ravaged by a terrible viral war. Bob and Matrix frantically search the ruins for their friends and family - and find unexpected allies (i.e., Hack and Slash). As Megabyte and his scientists try to persuade Phong to reveal a way into the Net, Hexadecimal interrupts Bob's reunion with Dot.

I thought the Saucy Mare could only sail on the watery surface surrounding Mainframe, yet it sails high above Mainframe in the episodes "Megaframe" and "Showdown."

My "nit-picks" are as numerically proceeds:
1) Bob and Enzo Matrix trek to scrutinize G-Prime (the Torr, to be more precise). There are three tears clearly displayed, yet Bob mends only one as the other two seemingly manage to vanish all on their own. Explanation, please.
2) Megabyte's German-speaking, Dr. Frankenstein-like scientist is watching TV programs in Megabyte's limousine during a flashback of the conquest of the Principal Office. The reception of TV programs involves someone recording, editing, etc., the programs themselves. However, Mainframe and its defense are being commandeered by Megabyte and thus have other matters on their mind other than providing entertainment via TV programs.
3) There is yet another costume change for Dot Matrix. Mouse appears to have also jumped onto the van wagon as far as costume change is concerned.
4) Phong demands everyone to evacuate the Principal Office, and Phong, practically face-to-face, insists that Dot Matrix leave with the others. It is during this time that Phong appears to be situated less than a foot away from Dot Matrix. In a sequential scene, though, Phong is a far distance away from Dot Matrix and other fleeing characters.
5) A rather large perforation in a wall, which is posing as a background behind a far-off shot of Megabyte's German-speaking, Dr. Frankenstein-like scientist, that pertains to the Megabyte-controlled Principal Office appears smaller in a sequential close-up shot of Megabyte's German-speaking, Dr. Frankenstein-like scientist at the helm of his password-deriving contraption.

Aiie! Just call him Herr Doktor! I practically had to diagram that last nit!

D.--in nit #3, it should be "band wagon", as in "jump on the band wagon."

I have to say that the close-up of Dot reacting to Enzo's return was the finest animation I've ever seen. Subtle, nuanced, and heartwrenching, Dot's "performance" was the equal of any human actress.

Bob doesn't look as pale in Mainframe. He's more his normal blue.

Bob destroys an ABC in a firey explosion! That seems a bit harsh for a Guardian, especially Bob.

Herr Doktor is eating a BLT! Get it? BLT Productions LTD!

Dot is wearing new grey-blue camoflauge, Mouse has new yellow camo pants. The flashback to evacuating the Principal Office shows them still wearing their previous costumes. Why the change of clothes? Because their formats have changed from Command to Rebel.

Phong knows the codes that will stabilize a tear into a portal to the Supercomputer? Since when? And how will this code, once extracted, actually bring about the stabilization? I thought only Guardian key tools and games could do that.
