A few questions... (spoilers!)

I just watched all 3 seasons of this show and enjoyed the hell out of it. I know it's just a TV show and everything doesn't have to make sense so don't yell at me for these questions, but...

1. In season 3, the bad guys have the ability to travel through wormholes and time travel. So why did they go after Noah as a kid and not as an adult where he'd already committed the crimes they were so angry about?

2. If they had the ability to time travel in season 3, why didn't they just go warn their parents about future events? That would have made more sense than revenge. Or maybe save their parents first, THEN kill Noah. Priorities, man!

3. In season 3, that tiny wormhole open for just a few seconds sure did transfer those thousands of miles of thunderstone to a different planet quickly. Seems like that would have taken at least 24 hours, assuming they rotate at the same speed as the Earth.

4. What's with the animal obsession? I know it's a kids show and kids like animals and the animals made sense in the first season, but in the 2nd & 3rd seasons it seemed they didn't put a lot of effort into fitting the animals into the plot. They were just kind of there whether it made sense or not.

5. In season 2, Noah stops the comet from killing billions of people. The evil people from the future disappear, which makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that all the Nomads DIDN'T disappear. They were born 60 or so years after the comet hit. There's no way the circumstances in which they were conceived would have remained the same. Those kids would be as dead as the evil people from the future. At LEAST most of them would be. But probably all.

6. At the end of season 2 after Noah stops the comet, you see all the animals disappear. Wouldn't that have actually made a giant civilization appear in their place instead of just empty desert?

7. When Noah gets caught escaping from his cell, they decide to banish him from the underground compound. His sister comes up with the brilliant idea of Noah time traveling 1 day into the past so they never know he's gone, which works great and then nobody remember the original timeline where Noah was missing. EXCEPT HIS SISTER! How could she have possibly known when nobody else did?

Those are my questions. I know I'm just pointing out dumb plot holes, but I demand answers.

Just finished with season 2, haven't found season 3 yet! ...and this one is really bugging me! At first thought when I was reading ahead, I was thinking that maybe if they were with Noah in the time vortex they would've been shielded from the changes. But they weren't in a vortex or even in the time machine. Now I'm just bugging!!!

Really the moment he destroyed the comet, the Nomads, the bad guys and the Beast, should've been poof! Not destroyed but reset they their new timeline, if they existed. Granted he did ensure that his mom met his dad, so his existence should be secure.

And sure the little sister know when he went back a day was a close second!!!

Watched season 3 last night and OMG!!! yes I agree totally!!!

And the dude trying to steal the animals comment "...people who have never seen..."! I thought the animals became extinct because of the comet. In season it was like animals were rare or almost extinct again.

Also, back on season one, it does seems that you would bring the predators back only after the other animals had the chance to populate. And why rats and snakes???
