TV Tuesday: Who'd Have Thunk It?

[yourlibrarian]

There are shows whose twists and turns kept us on our toes so much that we developed our own theories. How have those theories compared to canon reveals or developments? When were we super wrong about something? Or when were we the person who called it first (at the kitchen table or in an internet discussion)?

I classify Doom Patrol as dadaist science fiction. The reason I watch it is because I have no fucking clue what will happen next. I imagine this is how normal people feel about most television. For me, I can usually see what's coming far ahead.

Notably, Blood of Zeus is good for going places I didn't really expect it to go, even if I saw the possibility.

Conversely, Star Trek is useful for going right up to a great idea and then stopping short. Are you gonna eat that? No? Fine, then I'm having it. And it's not plagiarism because canon didn't actually do the thing.
