Fan theories are the viewers/readers way of filling in little plot gaps left by the creators. Or just ways to make shows seem a bit more appropriate to a certain demographic. So, here's some of mine. All my own invention (with a little help from my friends :) )
4. Season Nine of The X-Files was all a nightmare.
The last moment of the last episode of season eight was Mulder and Scully reunited, holding their precious baby, and everything was wonderful.
Then season nine happened. I won't spoil it for you, because Chris Carter already did that. It's bad. But is it real? I don't think so. Consider the following:
It all points to a dream. Mulder is feeling residual guilt from his abduction in season eight and not being there for Scully. He imagines all the terrible things that could have happened while he was gone: losing William, friends dying, all while mixed with increasingly nonsensical X-Files and plot elements. This culminates in him getting 'The Truth' and his arch nemesis dying in an over the top manner. He'll wake up to know his ultimate pursuit of the truth isn't worth it: life with Scully and their son is.
3. Pennywise is about to make a big comeback.
You may remember Tim Curry played a clown that killed children back in the nineties. What you may not know is that in the book It's destruction wasn't ever totally assured. It laid eggs and the characters specifically think they may not have squashed them all. But what other evidence do I have?
2. Scott Lang will be the third Science Bro.
Brief history of Ant Man: Hank Pym invented the tech, but was a giant douche. Scott Lang was the next Ant-man. He was dead for a while, but now he's back. The Marvel cinematic universe will have both, with Pym being like Howard Stark in Captain America, or so we've been led to believe.
Where does this leave us for Avengers 2/Ant Man/ Avengers 3?
We saw how Tony and Bruce became besties in The Avengers and Iron Man 3. Tony thinks The Hulk is neat, and loves having someone of his level to converse with.
So Why the hell SHOULDN'T he love Scott Lang?
"Shrinking is a lame power!" You say. Imagine the espionage capabilities. Shrinking diodes, microchips, ANYTHING to make tech, say super suits, lighter, faster, stronger, BETTER. Tony is gonna be all over this guy.
So, Scott may not be as smart as Bruce or Tony. He didn't discover Pym Particles. Then they have the doofy younger brother: Tony and Bruce can mess with him, but if anybody else steps in, GET BACK. It'd be a nice addition to the dynamic.
1. Blues Clues is a mental hospital.
I actually have a lot for this one. For anyone out of the loop, blues clues is a show that follows Blue, a dog, and her owner (yes, Blue is a chick), Steve, or later Joe. Blue leaves pawprints on three objects and the owner figures out what she's trying to clue them in on. Simple deductive reasoning skills.
But something isn't right. Why do I think Steve/Joe are in a mental hospital?

Then season nine happened. I won't spoil it for you, because Chris Carter already did that. It's bad. But is it real? I don't think so. Consider the following:
- Mulder is in almost none of the season, with little in-universe explanation.
- His friends keep dying for no good reason.
- There is an episode with the Brady Bunch.
- The last episode consists of Mulder's dead friends giving him advice about life and not explaining why they're not dead.
It all points to a dream. Mulder is feeling residual guilt from his abduction in season eight and not being there for Scully. He imagines all the terrible things that could have happened while he was gone: losing William, friends dying, all while mixed with increasingly nonsensical X-Files and plot elements.

- More books have It like creatures that may be It's children: Dandelo in The Dark Tower series, Ardelia Lorz in The Library Policeman, even the bear in The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon could be a relative.
- "Pennywise Lives" is spray painted graffiti in a book set LONG after It's demise. Nobody old enough to have met Pennywise in the 80s is still pulling that penny-ante vandalism.
- The last time It struck was in 1985: the year the losers club supposedly killed it. It comes back every 28 years, give or take a year or two. Next year will be the 30th anniversary of It's death and the publication of the book: pretty close to the 28 year mark, especially given the terrible injuries It suffered.
Either It is still alive, or one of It's children is going to make its debut in one of Sai King's 2015 books. Either way, I'm glad I don't live in Derry.

But something isn't right. Why do I think Steve/Joe are in a mental hospital?
- They are the only live action beings(or "real" in their own minds, as many psycho/sociopaths are).
- The puzzles are too simple for a grown man without impairment.
- They NEVER LEAVE.
Blue is Steve/Joe's doctor. Magenta is a consulting physician. Blue plays simple deduction games with her charges to encourage rational thinking and bring them out of their delusions. Her methods work. Steve "Graduates" to college (AKA life outside. Maybe actually going back to school). Joe may be his real brother: mental illness runs in their family. Any talking object stands for a real person, mailbox=mailman, etc. Skidooing into a painting is a daytrip. The kids/the audience are figments of his madness.
You're the figment of an insane man's delusion. And Mom said you'd never achieve anything!
