** Rest Home Ricky could be considered a counterpart to '''Eddie''', as well. The only differences are that Ricky is subservient mainly to Cosmo and Nation while Eddie, while originally loyal to Frank, rebelled and was later killed for his troubles.

* One small flaw with this plan is that Burt's response to Mrs. Weiss's deduction of Infantile Regression is obvious AscendedFanon. They weren't looking for a ''good'' reason to lock Brad up in the BedlamHouse, they were looking for ''any'' excuse to lock him up.

** Who's to say Burt's fishing for an excuse didn't just coincide with Brad's legitimate breakdown?

* Riff Raff and Magenta disguised as Cosmo and Nation made a sequel with actors playing Brad and Janet, figuring the Transylvanian audience wouldn't be able to tell humans apart from eachother and wouldn't know the difference.

If ''Shock Treatment'' had been successful and they could get the actors they wanted then further sequels would put Brad and Janet in different scenarios with a main villain always played by Tim Curry and his lackeys played by the same actors as Riff Raff, Magenta and Columbia.

[=RHPS=] was a major hit on the planet Transsexual and audiences demanded a sequel. According to the unmade ''Script/RevengeOfTheOldQueen'' sequel, Brad and Janet split up not long after the first movie, Janet had a mental breakdown and Brad died.

* Riff Raff and Magenta disguised as Cosmo and Nation made a sequel with actors playing Brad and Janet, figuring the Transylvanian audience wouldn't be able to tell humans apart from eachother and wouldn't know the difference.
* Ansalong is Columbia who either didn't really die in the first movie or was resurrected through alien technology.
* Bert Scnick is a Transylvanian. He dresses similar to the ones in the first movie.
* Farley Flavors is a Transylvanian or a human billionaire who's paying for the movie and demanded to play Brad. Brad spends most of the movie BoundAndGagged because Farley can't act and is just playing himself as Farley.
* Judge Oliver Wright is The Criminologist and a Transylvanian. Steve learns Transylvanian plans from his ''Denton Dossier'' book in [=ROTOQ=] making this plausible.
* The movie's filmed on campy colorful sets because it appeals to the Transylvanian audience and they wouldn't know what an Earth town actually looks like anyway.
* [=ROTOQ=] says that Transylvanians have a lot of control over Earth's governments and media making them having control over a [=TV=] studio plausible.

* A couple of people on the RHPS's WMG page theorized that the anti-matter gun doesn't work on humans, and that Columbia only faked her death. This WMG would be a good explanation as to why.

So then, Riff Raff and Magenta had to travel back to Earth, in disguise, for whatever reason (maybe revenge on Brad and Janet??). Of course, they bring Columbia along with them. Because they're both using disguises and fake names... they probably would want Columbia to also. So, she takes the name Ansalong.

Okay, I know this has been said alot, and I know she DIED at the end of Rocky Horror, but hear me out. Keep in mind that this theory only works if you believe that the Nation and Cosmo are actually Magenta and Riff Raff in disguise.

So, {{Word of God}} says that Riff Raff did most of the work (if not ALL of the work) on Rocky, right? So he basically knows how to create life. Also, as far as we know, when the castle took off at the end of Rocky Horror, the three dead bodies [[spoiler: belonging to Frank, Rocky, and Columbia]] came with them. Plus Magenta seemed [[LesYay really close]] with Columbia. So, combining all of these factors, it would not be suprising if Riff had decided to bring Columbia back from the dead, which he seems pretty capible of doing.

If you recall the lyrics of 'Rose Tint My World', Brad sings "This is beyond me/Help me Mommy" while falling down on stage and ding a weird gibbering stutter. Not only do we learn in Shock Treatment than Brad never knew his mother, because he was an orphan, but Janet's mother correctly deduces that Brad is suffering from 'infantile regression', or is becoming as helpless as a child. That's why he's calling out for his mother in ''Rocky Horror''. That was the genesis of his emotional breakdown. Brad never properly grew up, because having no family made him try incredibly hard to act self-reliant and grown up. The horror he feels as a result of giving into 'absolute pleasure' stems from his inability to properly deal with what it means to be an adult; sex in particular. He's not really an adult, but a child desperately trying to be and adult. Frank's brainwashing in the Floor Show sequence must have undone years of repressed existential angst Brad felt for growing up an orphan, and never having a proper childhood with a loving mother.
