This is brilliant. I think you've got it all figured out. It all makes sense now!

caedhe August 6 2009, 21:58:46 UTC

So glad you think so! Clearly, the most logical explanation was that season 3 didn't happen.

Beautiful! Like good old Marian said, they had all been eating too many mushrooms in the forest. I think Much brought a stash with him to the Holy Land, what with all his dietary hang-ups, and those plus the heat brought on the hallucinatory condition known as episodes 2.13-3.13, just like you say. On to Part II now, thanks for the research!

So glad you enjoy my form of denial. Please feel free to add in as many of your own theories either here or in part 2.

Would love to, but yours are hard to beat! Unfortunately, my RH viewing is limited to the scenes Guy is in, so am not enough of an expert ;)

aceofhadeon August 6 2009, 22:42:01 UTC

Good point! If I did one with my Guy theory, I might have to watch other parts of the show besides Guy's scenes. And that just wouldn't do, especially in S3.

aceofhadeon August 6 2009, 22:30:57 UTC

You win at life for posting this! This parallels my idea that everything from 2x12 on is a continuation of Guy's Triple-Massage Dream of Doom.

You know, I never realized how much heat and fire were in S3. Too Hot to Handle now makes sense! I love how you paired the Total Eclips capture of Much with the "hanging in the desert" scene.

This all makes too much sense for it not to be right.

caedhe August 6 2009, 23:23:03 UTC

I also like the "Guy's Triple-Massage Dream of Doom" theory. It's just that the evidence I collected lent itself much better to a Much hallucination. Besides, it's Much and he's adorable. I would definitely be willing to check out any evidence in season 3 of Guy's dream - even if it only refers to the scenes that Guy is in. ;)

aceofhadeon August 6 2009, 23:27:27 UTC

Very true, Much fits the fire and craziness quite well! Gotta love Muchy.

Heh, maybe I should do a Guy-scenes-only delusion explanation. Or we could each do one and compare hot screencaps results. ;)

Oh yes, you guys, yes please! That would be GREAT! ;-)

YEAH! You adorable girl! I'm so glad you posted it. I'm sure everone will love your indepth rationale. I didn't even want to PM you for fear of interrupting your post-Con muse. ;-) This looks great! :::claps::: Off to part 2.

caedhe August 6 2009, 23:04:44 UTC

Oh, you know you can always PM me. I've just been a little crazy lately is all. So glad you are enjoying. Thank you so very much for all the help.

karen747 August 7 2009, 00:59:49 UTC

You're very welcome; glad I could help. ;-) You came up with such a GREAT theory to work on. Such fun to take a brain-wander! And truly the only logical option, really.

shaman_whore August 6 2009, 23:30:20 UTC

Wow! This is excellent, it makes a lot of sense, you must've put a lot of effort into gathering this! Or did it suddenly come to you as an epiphany? One thing though, I didn't notice any mentions of Tuck, and considering that he came in as a new character, what does he represent?
This made me happy, thank you. Off to read part two!

caedhe August 6 2009, 23:39:19 UTC

Actually, this is just the stuff I remember thinking while watching the show. I seriously thought that there was a chance the writers could go with the delusion since there was so much evidence. I meant to do a week by week write up in real time, but I was in school. Things got crazy and I couldn't catch up. These are just the theories that I remembered and got some help on. I still plan to do a rewatch at some point to see if I can catch anything else ( ... )

karen747 August 7 2009, 01:11:39 UTC

**Tuck has very little personality. Much's brain isn't big on characterization.**

Hee! Okay, so this is way too obvious, but...say it with me now..."And neither are the brains of the S3 writers!"
This talk of Tuck (very good explanation above, by the way) made me think of something new...the Eclipse.
Hmmmm....Light. Dark. Religion. Superstition. Care to explore?

caedhe August 7 2009, 02:20:01 UTC

LOL. Just...lol.

Hmmm...since the Tuck stuff was my crazy bsing through my theory, I think I will give the eclipse a little more thought. Let me get back to you on that one. (I came up and wrote the Tuck theory in about 30 seconds.)
