Plot Hole Season 2 Episode 5

Hey all...just rewatching the series for the first time i 20 years...god I'm old...and noticed a plot hole in the episode "Heading For Trouble" that I thought I'd share. This is the episode where Andrew starts to drink to fit in with his older friends. There is a part in the episode where he flys into a tree and starts to bleed from his head. Curious that he was bleeding from hitting a tree when he is impervious to needles, statues hitting him on the head, and a car crushing machine.

Even more curious was that neither he nor Dr. J seemed to care about this.

In fact...15 episodes later...I'm noticing that he seems to have lost his invulnerability all together. That's kind of weird.

Remember, this show was made for kids when we were 10 years old. Not only are there plot holes, but implausabilities according to the laws of physics (in the very first episode, Andrew get's Dr. J. some O.J. and doesn't spill a drop - try doing that while walking with a full cup). At this point in the show he was zapped by that proton beam a second time so he gained a few powers and lost a few. It's make believe. I wish I never watched this show. I hate that Jerry O'Connell guy. Why can't Canadian TV find decent actors to play main roles?
