Your favorite movie or TV show may tell an incredible story, but no story is more incredible than the one that fans can tell themselves. The recent Stranger Things #ConformityGate conspiracy had fans of that series in an absolute tailspin, as a significant number of those fans had convinced themselves the series finale was some sort of fake-out, and that more of the show was on the way.
ConfirmityGate won’t be the last pop culture conspiracy theory from fans, nor was it the first. A very similar theory sprouted amongst fans of Sherlock when that final season didn’t end the way fans wanted. However, neither of these holds a candle to what may be the greatest pop culture conspiracy theory of all time. It’s a conspiracy I never believed, but that I've followed for decades.
