[Ghoulish Delight]

I'm not suggesting that all I want is total curveballs out of left field that completely change EVERYTHING. But neither do I want everything to turn out to be exactly what it seems at face value. Otherwise I could have turned the show off a couple seasons ago. And the things I mentioned were things that they've clearly left open-ended and ambiguous, in a "well, given the limited information we have, option A is what someone would LIKE us to believe is the case, but there's definitely the possibility that something else is going on here" sort of way, every one of those they've addressed have either turned out to actually be option A, or the most obvious of option B's.

But I still remain hopeful that it's just because there's some linchpin piece of information that can't be revealed early, and all of the other points of interest in the story will start to fall into place once it is.
