  • Why did Mr. Roarke never grant Tattoo's fantasy by making him a couple of feet taller?
    • Did Tattoo every say he wanted to be a couple of feet taller? Some people are happy just the way they are even if it's outside the "normal" range. Also, IIRC Tattoo did get a fantasy fulfilled, although what the fantasy was escapes me at the moment.
    • He wound up as a love god, but ran into trouble when his people discovered that he did not in fact have supernatural abilities. Season 3, Episode 3, "Tatto: The Love God/Magnolia Blossoms". I just saw this episode via Crackle within the last few days.
    • Perhaps Tattoo considered it but, from firsthand experience, knew such a wish was likely to backfire so best to just never ask it.
  • Roarke never discussed with Julie what the "sacrifice" was — that in order to restore her mobility, he had to renounce her love and make her forget that she'd loved him. Yeah, sure, Reset Button, but if he'd told her ahead of time, she'd have had the decision to make and it would have been additional drama, besides just being the honest thing to do.
