| Yep, fans are crazy people. |
I can't think of someone who doesn't belong to a fandom, be it some culturally significant film or a book that revolutionized how kids and/or adults read. I also admit belonging to some, although for someone who spends a lot of time watching (and partly reading) it would be hard not to belong to at least two.
But some fans bring fanaticism to a whole new level, often deeper than the multi-layered dream in Inception. I am referring to the fans who don't believe in the phrase coined by Freud (or whoever really said this): Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. These people, who, rather than enjoying the material as it is, try to come up and present logical reasoning to the things that seem incomprehensible to the average viewer and/or reader to satisfy everyone's already mindblown brains. Although some are really logical that sooner or later we wouldn't be surprised when producers and authors reveal that the theory isn't a theory at all, most are just really out of this world. But hey, these theories are good for an afternoon read and something to ponder upon before sleeping.
