Alex Rider/Fridge


 * In Scorpia Rising, Mrs Jones says at the end that
 * None of the interrogated Scopria members knew about the sniper. Which would be kind of strange if it were an integral part of their plan.
 * True, but the way Mrs Jones phrases it makes it sound like the assassination attempt should have been successful, which is confusing as nobody wanted Alex dead at that point.
 * In Stormbreaker, Sayle holds a contest for a kid to try out the new computer. What was the point of this is
 * Publicity stunt.
 * In-Universe with Alex rightfully pointing out that while MI-6 doesn't want to give a kid a gun they're completely fine with sending him to his death.
 * Alex himself exercises this on occasion, seeming to think that unless he does it with a gun or some other obvious implement of murder, none of the people killed as a result of his actions, occasionally deliberately (see Dr. Grief) and often directly, seem to count as far as he is concerned. This has the rather dubious result of Alex racking up an impressive body count over the course of the series and yet still seeming to think that he's not a killer.
 * This is in all probability the only thing keeping the kid sane by this point, so you can't really blame the poor sod.
 * Mrs. Rothman points this out in Scorpia, while trying to convince Alex to work for her organisation.
