Well, I'm all for crack theories on the internet—what else is it for?—but seeing them canonized is really disconcerting.

It's like the difference between deciding in my head that Grendel was the Duchess's husband/cook because what else am I supposed to conclude from an extended scene in a kitchen in Wonderland? and deciding in my head that Cora and the RQ had occasional violent hatesex because why not?

The first is a legit theory, the second came out of random silliness with my OUaT friend before the pilot even aired. And the conversation where I called the RQ being Anastasia went along the lines of "hah, what if she's Anastasia and that's why they made a big deal of not showing flashback!Ana's face—how contrived would that be?" and then at the end it actually happened.

It just seems gimick-y instead of based in even the tenuous kind of logic.
