We have all heard the one about Angelica being the only RugRat who is real - and thus the rest being a figment of her imagination so she can live out her childhood tormenting them: Tommy's dad inventing things for the child who will never get to play with them, Chukkie's dad a broken shell at the death of his wife and baby son, the Twins actually being one child of indeterminate gender because it never lived long enough so Angelica creates both possibilities.
But what about your conspiracy theories? Got any?
1.The New Battlestar Galactica takes place entirely in VR (the reality of VR being so real in the Caprica Series). The Monotheists killed everyone causing the populace to be trapped in VR creating a new reality where they had a war with the Cylons...and fled the 12 worlds in search of earth.
2. Princess Peach is neither the human she appears to be nor the Mushroom Person she claims to be, but rather a Koopa under a constant dominate person and polymorph from a powerful Toad wizard, her Chancellor whose name escapes me. This both explains why Bowser keeps kidnapping her and where the Koopa Kids came from.
Mario and Luigi are said wizard's convenient, oblivious patsies. Toad and Yoshi are in on it, and are there to take the Bros. out should they ever figure out the truth. The reason the levels have time limits? The duration of the spells - if they don't reach and defeat Bowser and reclaim Peach in a certain amount of time, the spells will fade and she'll return to her true form and personality, and the Chancellor's ruse will be uncovered.

Picard never left the nexus. The end of Generations, and all subsequent Star Trek movies, are just a product of Picard's imagination.
I thought this was going to be about "real" conspiracy theories. Darn.
Are we out of TV conspiracies already?
I don't have any. I don't watch enough TV. Could probably come up with more video game ones if I thought about it.
Real TV conspiracy. Very "Ash in a Coma"-esque
In the last episode of season 4's Ed, Edd, and Eddy (Take This Ed and Shove It), it's found out that all of the adventures that the Ed's have had were actually in the mind of an aging Eddy, who has gone senile and longs for the halcyon days of being a carefree child. Unable to move on, he constantly lapses into a dreamworld where he relives those childhood memories. It is unsure if all of the episodes before and after this one are all in his head or actually happened.
Imagine my existential crisis when I saw this as a kid.

An oldie but a goodie
In the original Pokémon Red/Blue, when you encounter your rival in Lavender Town he asks whether or not you know what it’s like to have one of your Pokémon die. At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate that he used in previous battles. Your rival battle before this took place aboard the S.S. Anne. Your rival’s Raticate sustained serious injuries from the battle… but, because crowding and confusion on the luxury liner, he was unable to make it to a Pokémon Center in time and the Raticate passed away.
The real reason your rival is in Lavender Town to begin with is to lay his deceased friend to rest. Despite all of this, your rival never outwardly tells you that you’re responsible for the death of his Pokémon. He hides his grief and instead channels that energy into the motivation he needed to continue his quest to become Indigo League Champion.
The death of his Raticate effectively destroys your rival’s impish, childhood innocence. Although he tells himself that he doesn’t hold you responsible, he subconsciously holds a great deal of resentment towards you which further fuels his ambitions. Tearfully swearing upon his Raticate’s grave to not fail in what he set out to do, he trains hard in hopes of becoming better than you… defeating you… and to eventually make it to the Pokémon League.
Mere moments after he became Indigo League champion, he was defeated… by you. Although he fulfilled his promise to his fallen Pokémon, it was only for a painfully brief instant. In the end, your rival is scolded by his grandfather while you receive the professor’s praise.
During the course of the game, you steal your rival’s innocence, crush his dreams, and ultimately snatch away the love of his own grandfather. Oh, and by the way, your rival doesn’t have any parents.
He’s an orphan.
Good job, a&@%%&*s.

What, all of three years ago, when it aired?
What fine line of only a few years caused you to go from kid to man? If you were a kid three years ago, you're probably still a kid now. At least, to me you would be.
FINALLY SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS PACMAN!
Interesting. You know, a friend of mine was reading Kafka some months back, and made a very similar comparison.
Weird.
It first aired on November 5, 2004. Granted, I was a farcry from a child but still, a decent while ago.

My apologies. I thought you were referring to the very LAST episode of the show, which aired in 2009.
My son loved that show, and we often watched it together. But I don't always remember the episodes in order.
