Totally agree about Liquid Ocelot; I didn't really feel the connection with Liquid Snake. They really should have kept Cam Clark for the voice acting as they did in MGS2.

As for a lot of the other scenes you mentioned, the series is constantly weaving in and out of its own reality, and I think a lot of fans take everything onscreen a bit too literally, such as the color changing petals and The Boss's scar slithering away.

Watching MGS4's TV ads did baffle me for sure: I didn't realize you could switch the "channels" at first and I was stuck watching the bomb shelter cooking ad and wondered what the hell I was watching!
