When Ed called to ask Ron to come back, he didn't tell Ron where to go


On the phone, Ed didn't tell Ron to go to the zoo. He just asked him to come back. I know Ron's pals ended up taking him anyway, but there was no way for Ed to know the guys were there. Ed simply didn't tell Ron. Writers messed that up. No way was it intentional. When you call someone up from a random location and ask them to meet you, obviously you tell them where that location is.

Yeah, I felt that was the one thing that ruined an otherwise very serious movie.

Ron probably learned from his friends at the bar. They would know where Veronica was (supposed to be).

The panda story was the big news at that time though. I assume it would be pretty obvious that would be where Ed wanted Ron to go.

By the beard of Zeus!

He would have known through the power of the conch shell, just as Baxter knew where to run to, to save his master in the nick of time.

OMG! Hope I haven't spoiled any one.🐭
