1. Why didn't ET use his levitational powers to escape in the beginning of the
   movie?

   It's quite possible that he did.  As I recall, he couldn't walk any faster
   than two miles per hour even when in a hurry.  Yet in the woods he was
   scooting along nearly as fast as the bikes later flew.  There is no reason
   that I can see that he couldn't levitate himself just a few inches off of
   the ground.

2. Why exactly did Elliot (the younger boy) get drunk when ET did?  What kind
   of "link" was between them?  "He feels what ET feels." -- Older brother
   That really doesn't explain a whole lot.

3. What happened after ET tried to call his people (with the hoakiest apparatus
   I've ever seen in a low budget movie)?  How did he end up in the creek?

4. What exactly was the cause of death for ET?  HOW did his people revive him?
   Magic?  Abra-ca-dabra!


Can anybody offer explainations to clear up all the loose ends?
