What were the plot holes you had problems with?

Bear in mind me and fingal will be circling the thread like sharks ready to charge if you respond.

Spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen it!

Not the anon you're replying to, and I don't really follow the fandom so I don't know if this has been explored or not, but the only "plot hole" (it's an inconsistency more than a plot hole, but people use the term as a catch-all) that actually bothered me was that since Mako already knew about Stacker's illness, then Raleigh should have too because he drifted with her, but it came as a huge surprise to him.

Then again, I'm dying to know how Stacker "brings nothing to the drift", so maybe that's part of it? Maybe Mako, too, was able to restrict parts of herself and her memories in the drift. I DON'T REALLY KNOW. But that's really the only thing that got to me.

I don't think they learn everything there is to learn about each other in just one drift. You are in tune with one another and maybe some memories bleed through, but not every single little thing. I can imagine that the thought of Stacker's illness was one that Mako likely doesn't think about much and the trauma of her first meeting with him was the only memory of him they had time for. Plus, it looked like the memories were in order from oldest to newest and they kind of stopped when she "chased the rabbit."

I don't think it's "you synch, you immediately mind meld completely" Rather more of, you know what the others thinking. So if somebody goes into an old memory, your going to get a shot of that.

But that's counterproductive, since strong memories can in fact mess with your perceptions. So you keep clear. Focused on what's in front of you (usually this means punching monsters).

Memories are shared, but it's more like a watching a friends browser surfing rather then going through his bookmarks and history, dig?

One theory I've heard is that it's more like a stream of consciousness thing instead of a total mind meld, so you don't automatically know everything, just what goes through their head.
