What is your favorite inconsequential fan theory? (lemmy.world)

I'm talking about a fan theory, that if true doesn't drastically upend the fundamentals of the fiction it is set in.

Mine is that in the American Dad episode 'Can I Be Frank With You', that Snot's uncle is actually just another Roger persona. He appears suddenly and conveniently to pitch a bizarre scheme, he loves hanging around with teen boys and doing drugs, and the very instant that the plan has a setback he kills himself out of sight of everyone else. That's just Roger in a suit and glasses.

Edit: Ok, so, people are having trouble with the word "inconsequential".

I have a theory that Mr Monk was a serial killer who framed people

I always thought that about Jessica Fletcher. Too many people dying around that woman.

Why do the people confess?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

People do false confessions to the police literally all the time. You should never talk to cops, and you should never trust a confession

Chris Meloni's character in Happy is actually just Stabler. His whole backstory as a disgraced cop is essentially really him (I think they even show a picture of him right out of SVU) but he had to change his name for protection.

He does say that "everyone has one persona they don't see through"...

Maybe that's the audience's.

That is the only way it works.

Celery Man takes place in Pierce Brosnan's basement.
