I’m starting to think the ‘Mike is already Vecna'd’ theory might actually be right. cause in the shock jock episode, when they Frankenstein the dead demo, the Mind Flayer particles don’t rise toward the demo's face like they did with Will, Billy, or literally every other flayed person. they move downward, toward the leg. and Mike is standing right there.
and then there’s the variac. in episode 1, its indicator is gray. but in episode 5, in this exact scene, when Robin increases the voltage, the indicator's color is red??? too many things line up for it to be nothing.
