okay, my theory:

estevez, zimmerfield and ken are the anomalies

the universe didnt account that missing persons would be so invested in the case. because while lydia spring is important, shes not actually fundamental to stopping the men of the machine and destroying the 3:1 machine. dirk had to set off the time loop and stop the MOM. he didnt have to save lydia. 

so because estevez and zimm got so involved, they needed someone around to be able to fix the machine, since estevez would shoot it.

enter ken.

i think, in the universes ideal plan, missing persons would not have gotten as involved as they did, and therefore zimm wouldnt have died and estevez would have never drunkenly shot the machine.

and by the same note, i think bart was originally meant to kill red and ken in the desert. red because he was MOM, and ken because he knew about the machine and could feasibly replicate it.

but now obviously kens still around and the universe has not accounted for this, and its throwing the plan off-course. 

at least for bart, ken alive = obsession to find ken = willingness to disobey the universe = sparing suzie boreton

ken dead + no friendship with ken = compliant murder puppet 

tl;dr: 

1) everything is estevez and zimm’s fault

 2) ken being alive is fucking shit up

Quick little thing on my theory about Ken’s last name: I know we were talking about the name being a spoiler, and it doesn’t entirely seem like that panned out, but I think it did, just in a more metaphorical sense.

Douglas Adams was the Grand Power of the Dirk Gently universe, in the way that all authors are the Grand Power of the worlds they create. He was in charge. He was, in a way, the Supervisor of that whole world.

And now we’ve got Ken, who we last see in the season as extremely in charge. He’s the guy pulling all the strings, he’s the guy planning everything out, he is literally the supervisor. 

Supervisor Adams is the in-show Grand Power of the television Dirk Gently universe, in a similar way to how Douglas Adams was the out-of-universe Grand Power of the Dirk Gently books.

HHHH Ken??

Did anyone else see a really unnerving parallel between

Mr. Control Freak Season 2 Ken showing that he will always take advantage of a situation to gain control+ he’s willing to work for horrible people so that he can get trust and power to eventually pass them in authority

The first time we really gain trust/ sympathize with Ken is in Season 1 when he’s in the car with Bart singing “I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, don’t care what you did, as long as you love me” from memory

I feel like this may be some foreshadowing that I never picked up on before??? And I’m nervous???

Please feel free to add more if you see other connections?? Because, like, everything is.... related, I guess????

I promise you that no one else will top Bart Curlish’s and Ken’s introductory scene. The way she simply rumbled up, threw coffee on a dude, murdered him in the background whilst Ken was obliviously working, her mad dash towards Ken, both getting exhausted and collapsing on the ground after running maybe 40 yards, and then arguing about the machete in her hand. That scene is legendary.
