History WMG / ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents

And the series is one big flashback to each of their FreudianExcuse. Violet and Klaus in particular could definitely became [[EvilGenius Evil Geniuses]] or Mad Scientists. Alsom wiouyld could be more unfortunate then becoming a villain?

5) Ability to have it all written up: See the theory above. Getting evidence out of burn-down places? Ability to know what a character thinks? Impossible. But if we are to assume, that Snicket read the backlogs of the simulation, it would make a lot more sense. Why to write about this particular use of simulation? Because it was interesting and a good material for publishing, that's why. Getting a cash flood from the books would easily fuel the work and research of VFD. It would be stupid not to do it. And if that wouldn't be enough would anyone believe in existence of such organization if it's plainly written open to a book. Textbook example of HiddenInPlainSight. Snicket, you clever genius!

But since the right hand of the situation had absolutely no idea what the left hand was doing, someone delegated control to exactly the wrong people (or the wrong people [[KillEmAll took over]]) and became what they were when the Baudelaire orphans found them.

2) The absence and incompetence of law-enforcement: The police can't catch a man that uses [[PaperThinDisguise the most ridiculous disguises ever]], has a crew of flunkies that are easily recognizable and is stalking three particular children...are you kidding me?! And where the cops are when you really need them? What country/region/city has that bad police ? (Apart from [[TheSimpsons Springfield]], of course)

Barney has a habit of rooting for villains in media. He would definitely feel a connection with Count Olaf, a villain he has a lot in common with; elaborate plans involving disguises, over the top theatrics, often having to pause and stumble because he didn't fully think his fake story through. It makes sense Barney would read the series and imagine himself as Count Olaf. And he would imagine one of the characters looking like Robin. Both Barney and Count Olaf say at some point that they want three kids "one of each".

The young people, such as the Beaudelaire orphans and the Quagmire triplets are sharp-witted, astute, empathetic, perceptive and flexible-minded, because they have not yet accumulated those chemicals in their brains, whereas older people and members of the V.F.D show more serious symptoms. Carmelita Spats is the exception, as she is a child indicating symptoms, but as the hybridization experiments include sugar, she may have suffered buildup due to her habit of sniffing cakes. Maybe the whole world is slowly going mad. The chemical buildup may also be the underlying cause behind the schism, as the members would have had most contact with contaminated plant samples. It might even be that the Man with beard but no hair and the Woman with hair but no beard may be the actual heroes of the story. Their efforts to torch as many V.F.D sites as possible may not be malice at all, but rather an attempt to stem the further spread of the insidious hybrids into the world's food chain.

** Actually, it seemed those book titles seem to connect to the implication that the reason that he has been chased through hell and high water over the course of him authoring the book is due to him being framed for a crime. And due to well, VFD, and well it being basically arsonists vs. rich anti-arsonists, it's not very surprising that he would be accused of arson. This could connect to how he was presumed dead and all that jazz. Not to mention, the mysterious Snicket file, which Lemony implies he wrote, that gives evidence of all of Count Olaf's arson (presumably to acquit himself of accusation). Although, Lemony being forced into a situation like the Baudelaires' in which he had to burn something down, which he now regrets doing, is plausible. One vaguely remembers his his involvement with the poison dart incident as well...

[[WMG: Lemony Snickets knows all the details about the Baudelaires' adventures not because of extensive research, but because he's a prophet in the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' universe, and the orphans' story is part of the Winchester gospel.]]

* On a tiny ledge? When she's 14-15? I always took that Violets first kiss happened there, something more innocent.

Also, it was freezing. Why would they take off their clothes?

At one point Sunny's apt word-style "babytalk" when referring to her was the word "Sappho". Which ''could'' have just been picked because she was another female poet, but there are plenty of other choices who weren't the source of the words "sapphic" and "lesbian".
* If you are right about this, and she is, then it is much more possible that she likes Violet than if she was straight. Which means it's possible for all three of the Quagmires to be after Violet at once.
** Oh, for the love of the effing Sugar Bowl, with Handler as author, I would not be surprised. Sir and Charles are (likely) proof that Handler is okay with gays and lesbians, so yeah, why the hell not!? Isadora, Duncan, and uigley all want Violet! Have fun!!! (no personal hatred towards this, but still - Handler is clever...)

** Coupled with the fact that it's highly implied that Lemony was himself stalking the Baudelaires for at least parts of the series—he may have been the taxi driver who drove them to Aunt Josephine's house in ''The Grim Grotto''—serves this theory. It's therefore possible he knew almost exactly what they were saying and a good idea what they were thinking at times because he ''was'' actually there observing them without them realizing. If this is even somewhat true, that small amount of primary surveillance may have been enough to give him a "feel" for what they would say and think in situations where he wasn't around.

V.F.D has been making various hybridization tests all over the world in order to find a cure/protection against medusoid mysilium. At least some of those experiments are out in the wild, such as the apple tree on the island and the sour apple trees of the Lousy Lane which circle a horseradish factory. What if V.F.D's hybrids have polluted the global food chain with some unintended mutation, which is affecting the brain chemistry of the wider population? There could be some slowly accumulating chemical buildup in the brains, which makes people dull-witted(e.g. like justice Strauss)/imperceptive(like Poe)/single-minded(like Olaf)/fixated(like Esme)/nitpicking(like Aunt Josephine)/resistant to changing preconceptions(like Sir)/Intolerant(the Fowl devotees)/timid(Mr. Squalor)/stubborn(Sir) and so on.

There's no other explanation for his StupidEvil decisions, such as framing the Baudelaires for murder or attempt to behead Violet in the hospital. If they had died at the stake, Olaf is nowhere near close to their closest relative. He secretly didn't want the fortune because a part of him knew it would be a hollow victory. It seems to be confirmed when in Book 13, he manages his only decent moment to get Kit to a stable place so she can give birth.

It means that someone who is too poor to eat cake and instead has to be satisfied just by smelling it.

In [[Literature/LemonySnicketTheUnauthorizedAutobiography]], Vice Principal Nero writes a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Spats. In the letter, he reveals that Mr. Remora retired and was replaced by "Ms. K." Ms. K. is heavily hinted to be Kit Snicket as she is implied to have recruited two orphans into VFD (the orphans who replaced the Baudelaires in the orphan shack). Nero fired Ms. K. for trying to give her students books. "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket is included in the list of books, confirming that Lemony began publishing the books before the events of The End. The number of books that were published at the time of the letter is unknown.

It's the only town in the "It Takes A Village" brochure that is rejected by Mr. Poe, instead of the children, and the only one that isn't seen. Who's to say it wouldn't have been the happy home that the Baudelaires were seeking?

* As the series goes on the Baudelaire orphans have to commit some pretty heinous acts to survive or get more information on the VFD. Something about the unfortunate events they have to experience within the organization - especially since their parents wrote a book on the island about their own awful experiences, leaves me to believe the Baudelaire orphans aren't the first kids who accidentally killed people or unintentionally lead to someone's death. What if the poison darts were used in the wrong way during the "night at the opera" Olaf mentions, and his parents were killed by accident (in a similar way to how Dewey was killed)? But because his family and the Baudelaire's were on opposite ends of the schism, Olaf saw Beatrice and her future husband's act as assassination.

* The line right after that scene, Snicket says that he knows ''exactly'' where the man in the taxi went afterwards, who the man was, the name of the woman hiding in the trunk, the type of musical instrument carefully placed in the backseat, the ingredients to the sandwich tucked into the glove compartment, nd the small item that sat on the passenger seat (implied to be the sugar bowl).
