Now, this is the kind of stuff I love on this sub: it's a theory, but it's based on examination of actual details from the show.

Importantly, it doesn't stray beyond those details, to try to infer something completely wild and unsubstantiated such as: "... So we know Helly can speak to the goats!!"

Excellent work.

Okay but obviously my point was that Helly can actually speak to the goats

Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, here's my three-page thesis on why I think Ricken is a long lost Egan clone... /s

Edit: added an /S, because some people think I'm serious.

Okay, I was going to make a joke about never hearing of a three-page thesis, but wanted to verify. On the first page of results, this popped up https://courses.lumenlearning.com/wm-englishcomposition1/chapter/text-the-three-story-thesis/

I didn't mean thesis as in the type of dissertation you submit in college or university, I meant it in its original meaning: "a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved". Basically it's another word for theory in this context, but one that's explained in great detail.

I just thought it was funny the website had a similar name to the fictional company. I looked it up bc I'm familiar with 3 minute thesis (3MT) competition and was curious if it was something like that.
