I agree with
Dengar, and it's more or less what I'm trying to say. What I mean is, in looking over some of the "clues," they really don't point to anything. In hindsight, we may think to ourselves, "oh, that's sort of weird that they chose to do that. Yeah, I could see how that was supposed to be a clue," but it's not really a clue at all - it's just us trying to see things that aren't really there.
Let's discuss this some more when the series ends. You could be right. I didn't completely spoil the series for myself, and as a result perhaps the clues will seem more like real clues to me once I understand everything. I think it would be interesting to discuss the significance of a number of these clues, though.
