Yah. Those tweets and the lack of sensicalness… not really helping with my position. I’m gonna hang out over here in my little corner still… there is more to this story. Had a thought the other day; Adam has said 1) this has been planned since summer hiatus, 2) it is story driven and 3) he’s dead. Why is it that we are so quick to call him a liar about 1&2 but trust 3 to be true? Crack theories may be cracky, but I posture that all three items could be true. The tweets above – particularly the last three – don’t deter me from hope. He tells a departed SF fan to let him know when they’ve returned to the show (indicating he believes they’ll be back,) a Neal fan to hang in there (aka encouraging them to keep watching,) and a third SF fan that they are telling an ups/downs story… we are at a down now, there will be ups. My rose-colored-goggles (RCGs) have me looking at that in a positive way. Phee discussed it a few pages back – this fanbase has known EVERYTHING before it happens. Why not throw them off track? Spoil something, give fans a fake out, then keep the real thing under wraps. I hypothesized they would do that in 315/316 before 315 aired, and though I was shocked and heartbroken over how 315 went down, I have really returned to that belief. I wouldn’t say I have faith, but I DO have hope. I will continue to hope through 322, and if I’m wrong, I’m prepared to deal with that. But I just don’t think that’s the case. I don’t think A&E have tossed the show they’ve dreamed over for a decade & built over 2.5 years. I don’t.
I’ve been haunted by a tweet (sent to Adam shortly after the spoiler of doom was released) from a SF/Neal fan who threatened to abandon the show if they kill off Neal. Adam’s reply was somewhat like this:
“I hope you give it a chance. You might like it! We hope to surprise you all!”
(I can only imagine how that fan is feeling right now.)
YOU MIGHT LIKE IT. WE HOPE TO SURPRISE YOU ALL.
What the heck, Adam?
Either he was being mean or there’s shenanigans going on.. I guess we just have to wait and watch the rest of the season to find out.
I’m with you, dontstopbelievin. I’m not going to give up hope yet.
