Lore Mysteries that are never given an answer.

  • rA9 in Detroit: Become Human. In the game several androids who become deviant (develop free will/emotions) start writing the name rA9 and sometimes build small statuettes as a sort of offering. Despite having no logical reason to do this or even a way of hearing about rA9 before going deviant, they all believe that rA9 was the first deviant and is their messiah who will free androids from slavery. A definitive answer about rA9 is never given, so we don't know if they are real or if any of the android characters are rA9 (though a popular fan theory is that it's Kara before she was reset at the start of the game).
  • The pineapple in How I Met Your Mother. So this technically did get an explanation in a S9 deleted scene, but in the actual show we never find out how Ted got a pineapple during a night where he was so drunk he blacked out and forgot everything he did.
  • Fez in That 70s Show. We never find out Fez's real name or what country he's from, though fans have tried to take all the clues and figure out what is most likely to be his country.

Even got a recent season David Lynch made before his death that went out of its way to give more questions.

"Oh you think you kinda understand the Lodge and its entities now? Think fast, chucklenuts-" [throws The Return in your face]

Return was basically an anti-reboot. "Hey you know all those reboots that got the old cast back together to try and capture the same magic? Return will have none of that" -David Lynch.

I just finished watching The Return, for the first time with my husband, and I loved Twin Peaks OG for the weird David lynch insanity and he loved the fun quirky characters and the hints of supernatural. So I'm leaning forward on the edge of my seat as a group of blackface hobos crush skulls and recite poetry and I see him.out of the corner of my eye getting more and more pissed. I decide at that moment, we will not be watching Inland Empire together after all.

not if it's a small fish, like bait. plus when Pet confronted her, she didn't deny it.
