To celebrate the release of the complete Twilight Saga on Blu-ray, I watched all five films in one sitting: Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2. That's over 10 hours of vampire drama, werewolf angst, and very sappy dialogue.

While I survived the marathon, I was left with a lot of questions. Here's what I'm still wondering about the series.
