My theory is that some time in the early 1960s, George Lucas killed someone, and in that persons belongings was the script for Star Wars: A New Hope, and a rough outline for The Empire Strikes Back.

 

[CiderHype]

Yeah, I’ve heard that one floating around before. Lucas definitely borrowed from Campbell, Kurosawa, and Flash Gordon, but imagining him stumbling across a hidden script in the ‘60s almost feels like its own lost sci-fi film.

I believe that the next season of Dexter will see our intrepid psychopath go places we would never expect. The season 1 closing scene in Resurrection of him grasping the dossiers of killers around the globe in ecstatic anticipation was no more than a red herring. Dexter will in fact be hunting a murderous astronaut named Simon Lapeu. But in order to do so, he will need to fake his best Russian accent and sneak aboard the international space station! Can Dexter beat this madman on his own astroturf? And more importantly, how will he dismember a body without leaving any trace of blood evidence in zero gravity? Tune in to the next season of Dexter New Horizons to find out! Ok, I wasn't going to say it, but get ready kids, for DEXTER IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!

Haha I love it. Honestly, at the rate franchises reinvent themselves, “Dexter in Space” doesn’t even sound that far-fetched

My theory for the upcoming Avengers crossover events is that either the Sentry will be used to help Doom in his plans (viz. the Void will side with Doom or be used by him) OR that role may be possibly be given to Jean Grey/Phoenix (Dark Phoenix). As they are both omega level powers, it makes sense that Doom would use them in his schemes. Or Marvel being Marvel could drop the ball again and do something stupid, as usual.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Doom using someone like the Sentry or Dark Phoenix fits perfectly with how he always tries to bend huge powers to his will. Honestly, I could totally see Marvel going that route… or like you said, they’ll fumble it and give us some watered-down version instead. If they actually commit though, Doom + the Void or Phoenix would be insane to watch.

I have this theory about the Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue Version. Don't know if any of you are familiar with MissingNo? Which was a glitch / unofficial pokemon that could multiply items in your inventory. Game Freak, the developers, claimed it was a glitch but I suspect it was trimmed content. There was supposed to be a Pokemon named MissingNo and a side quest to catch it during the post game. But due to deadlines, it was cut from the game. But the devs screwed up and weren't able to entirely remove it from the game. Thus, the MissingNo glitch.

Oh, I love this theory. MissingNo. as cut content totally checks out. Game Freak was on a hardcore deadline, tons of stuff probably got yanked last minute.

There's a theory I've had about Twin Peaks for forever, Diane never really existed. Throughout the first two seasons and a deleted scene from the movie she's never seen. She's "around" supposedly but she never does anything and no one else mentions her really except for Cooper. Until she finally shows up in The Return, and it's later revealed she was a Tulpa which is why she was fairly static throughout The Return, and then she actually shows up in episode 17. However I think even then she's not actually real. I think she's a Tulpa in both forms. Granted she does have a sister named Janey-E which is Coops (Dougie, who's also a Tulpa) wife. It could easily be inferred that Tulpas could have "siblings" or "relatives" that are real on the molecular level but much like Candy Triplets, they're all caricatures of people.
But that's just a theory, perchan?

That’s a really cool theory! I never thought about Diane that way, but the whole Tulpa angle makes it sound pretty convincing. The Janey-E connection you mentioned is especially interesting, it definitely adds another layer to it.
