[QUOTE="Retros_x, post: 9799251, member: 7033171"] That Tommy Westphall thing seems like a meta-contextual joke, the logic behind it doesn't make a lot of sense. It is either a intentional but tongue-in-cheek misapplication or a real misunderstanding of transitive logic. Its like saying "My friend mentioned Mickey Mouse in a story about their real vacation to Florida. Mickey Mouse exists in a Disney cartoon universe. Therefore, my friend's vacation was also a cartoon." In general I like fan theories in the sense of "enjoying to see interpretations of other people" bit they never made the subject better for me, because in the end only what I think of feel is relevant to my enjoyment of it. It is fun though during an ongoing series to theorize in fan communities how everything will play out, I enjoy that a lot. I would just not recommend taking it too serious though. Too often I witnessed fans getting angry about an series because it didn't ended how they thought it would end up in their theories, no matter how far fatched they were. [/QUOTE]
