warmth-and-constancy:

If there’s not a fourth episode or an equally satisfying explanation for everything that has just occurred (including “ALIENS, SOMEHOW”), then the “fourth episode” rumor kicking off with articles published before TFP aired (in which Moffat referenced The Lost Special), the sudden media attention given to “conspiracy theorists” when there aren’t any (I mean, except for us, burning away merrily in one little corner of Tumblr, largely out of sight of the non-Aja media), the metadata on all those video sites proclaiming the existence of an untitled fourth episode on January 22, the uncharacteristic Twitter quietness following months of enthusiasm, and the fact that the episode is clearly poorly written in a way that cannot be by accident and that even calls attention to its deliberateness, will all add up to the biggest and strangest cluster of coincidences I have ever encountered and will ever encounter again in my entire goddamn life and I will forever hear the music from The Twilight Zone in my head whenever I hear or see the words “final” or “problem”

I’m envisioning a future in which niece or nephew says “Can you help me study for my final exam in math? I’m stuck on this one word problem” and the next thing I know I’m coming back to my senses on the shoulder of the Long Island Expressway

This is absolutely why i don’t have any problem believing in a fourth episode. It only makes sense. Doesn’t even matter what’s in it, there just needs to be one.
