The reason there are a lot of innacuracies and things left out of this piece is because I've only been able to stand watching the episodes once, and relied on wikipedia to write this. My memory is shit.
I am really sorry if you feel attacked or as if people are just disagreeing with you for no reason or invalidating your feelings.
I very much appreciate your attempt at producing meta and I do think you've sparked a discussion that is very much worth having.
However, when you create and post meta, and invite others to discuss it, (especially when making the type of accusations that you do in this post) you have to do your research first. You have to be able to show exactly where your conclusions are coming from, what part of the source material supports your theory, etc.
Because the nature of meta is dissection and discussion and you have to be able to back up your points with more than just how you feel about the episodes/show.
Thank you for this post though and the ensuing discussion.
