I Still Think It's A Good Episode Let Alone A Couple Plot Holes
Spencer-Staggs26 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The plot holes don't quite ruin the episode in my opinion, but that doesn't quite

make it a good episode. In "One More Minute" we meet Jack, a 9th grader with

good grades, he's about to get the girl he likes, and he is just an overall really

good person, which sucks about the episode because they're doing this awful

thing to a really nice guy. Anyway, Jack and his friends play a game called

"Kingdom of Theven" (or something like that). Then the weird time travel stuff

starts happening. There is some person online that Jake begins to play with, and

when Jake begins playing with the kid a few hours or so pass and Jake's mom

comes in to get him off. The next day there is a party at some person's house

from Jake's school. Later when Jake's at home he decides to play the game for

"15 minutes tops", but misses the party. Of course he is upset about this and gets

to bed. So, you get the pattern, right? The next day Jake goes to school and

everything, he plays a round of the game with his friends and his crush (also

playing at home with his brother). When everyone leaves the game and his

brother goes to bed he decides to play with the same strange person. Jake finally

snaps out of it one month later. So now, he is in the next month and his mom

tells him that his grades have been slipping and that she doesn't know what's

wrong with him. And this is where we truly see how good of a person Jack is.

Jack tries getting through the day after what I like to call his autopilot

counterpart has caused. Jack apparently told his friends he didn't care what

happened to them/about them. After making it up to his friends he goes home

to talk to his mom and his family, but he just can't do anything to make up for

the last month. He makes food for his family and his mom gets into a little

fight with him for the way he's been acting the last month. Jack tries explaining,

but he just can't make it out in the right way. He goes back to his room to go to

bed, but that wretched person is still online and convinces him to come back to

the game. After playing a whole 5 years past (this is where the plot holes ensue).

Jack awakens back from this trance-like state and hears the odd person saying

that it may have taken 5 years, but they accomplished all the feats and all the

other accomplishments and things. NOW this only makes sense if the person that

Jack is playing with has lost track of time or just doesn't know what they're

talking about. Anyway, Jack tries talking to his now 5 year older brother about

what is happening to him, but of course he doesn't quite totally believe him.

When Jack goes back to school, which does make sense if Jack was held back, he

bumps into one of his old friends, which doesn't quite make sense since this guy

had all of his stuff together, Jack asks him what is going on and where his other

friend is. Jack's friend says that his other friend moved away and asks Jack why he

even cares. Jack doesn't get enough time to respond because his teacher is calling

him to the class (this is another plot hole or it could be one since the teacher is

the same teacher as the 9th grade teacher). Unfortunately today is test day, and

Jack tells his teacher that he doesn't know this kind of math and that he's a 9th

grade student, not a 12th grade student. Jack then runs out of the school and

waits until his brother gets out of school. His brother then promptly tells Jack

that he remembered something from a long time ago when Jack and his mom

were arguing out in the kitchen. Jack's brother tells Jack that they will figure

out something. When they both get back home Jack goes back to his room to ask

who the person he's been playing with is. And this is where I prefer they would

have left the antagonist anonymous because it is so bad of a plot hole it's unreal.

The other online user is, take a guess . . . Jack. Yeah, that's right. It makes

absolutely no sense, but whatever. Anyway now that we know who that is, why

not have Jack ask Jack if he wants to play for just one more minute and have

Jack say okay and play with him just as his brother walks into the room. Yeah,

that happened and the episode ended. That is basically an overview of

"Creeped Out"'s first episode of season two. So, would you play that game for

just one. More. Minute?

Something Doesn't add up

Warning: Spoilers
So...aside from the fact that this was the first episode of Season 2, as shown on Netflix, and not the 5th episode, the writers seem to have gotten lazy with this show compared to Season 1. The kids aren't actually playing the video game, just mashing the buttons on the controller and staring into space. I could actually live with that, but Jack is in Grade 9 in High School when he loses 5 years of his life, and yet he is still in High School. I'm pretty sure he should have graduated by then.

Plot hole after plot hole
aelliott205 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This episode had potential but it's like whoever wrote and directed this basically just said screw it and wrote whatever. How did 5 years pass and he still in HS? I mean they easily could have shown that he was held back to fix that. Also don't get how he was playing with himself? The voice sounded younger and then the ending made no sense did he go back to present time? Or did he just continue to keep playing while time passes?
