Context WMG / BetterOffTed

Go To

1[[WMG: Veridian Dynamics has some connection to either Series/{{Torchwood}} or [[Series/DoctorWho UNIT]].]]
2* As evidenced by [[http://io9.com/5438790/better-off-ted-reveals-the-origins-of-doctor-whos-tin+plated-bad-guys this]]
3** Alternatively, some military higher-up is a [[Series/DoctorWho Who]][[FanCommunityNicknames vian]] and was so impressed by the killing power of the Daleks they hired VD to build an artificial one.
4
5[[WMG: Veridian Dynamics is in direct competition with Global Dynamics from ''{{Series/Eureka}}'']]
6* GD makes everything, VD makes everything. They're the only ones capable of being in business with the other around.
7* Alternatively; Veridian Dynamics is Global Dynamic's public front or a branch of it.
8
9[[WMG: Veridian Dynamics will eventually change their name to [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Aperture Science]] and [[{{MasterComputer}} GLaDOS]] is based on Veronica.]]
10* They're just immoral enough to make [=GlaDOS=] and, admit it, you can totally see Veronica saying everything [=GLaDOS=] does. Also her fondness for singing.
11* It doesn't fit the Portal cannon of being a shower curtain manufacturer. Veridian could be a subsidiary, where they put the more "practical," mass-marketable ideas of Cave Johnson's into production.
12
13[[WMG: The Linda/Ted ship has become an AbortedArc]]
14* Evidenced by the complete lack of development on this front, the cooling of any obvious {{UST}} and their complete acceptance of them seeing other people in the later half of the second season.
15
16[[WMG: Jabberwocky would return]]
17* If the show had continued, there would eventually be an episode where the Japanese branch sent a prototype of the Jabberwocky to the main cast for testing. Everyone (both in the U.S. or Japan) would still have no idea what the Jabberwocky actually did.
18
19[[WMG: Veridian Dynamics will be bought eventually by [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Weyland-Yutani]]]].
20Because weaponizing pumpkin mold? Weyland-Yutani likes the way they think.
21
22[[WMG: Lem and Phil are lovers]]
23* Seriously, their friendship screams {{OTP}} more than any other pairing in the show.
24** More like heterosexuallifepartners, considering they both are in or have been in relationships with women.
25
26[[WMG: Any Children made by employees are the companies property]]
27It's a plot point in a few episodes that anything made on property is owned by Viridian Dynamics. People do have sex on property. And considering how Viridian is Unapologetic Evil Overlords with more power than several countries, I can see them claiming that the children are Viridian Property. We know Children do work for them after all. And if they are owned by the company, then they don't have to pay wages!
