Is there gonna be some kinda cryptic sub-plot behind this DNA evidence? --Das654 17:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Your guess is as good as ours. —BazookaJoe 17:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Umm, this sounds like they all have to do with each other.

1. Strong Bad takes DNA evidence and tampers with it ("...and that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!") 2. Movie character notices it's gone. ("...and that's when I noticed the DNA evidence was gone!") 3. Strong Bad puts it back and Marzipan suspects that it's been tampered with ("...and that's when I thought the DNA evidence had been tampered with!")

Now, before anyone tells me to go onto the forum, does anyone think this qualifies for a sub-plot page? -- Super Martyo boing! 18:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

No, there's not enough going on for an actual plot, yet. Loafing 07:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

If there ever is enough, we can assume that in your funeral Homestar was trying to find the original evidence. Bad Bad Guy 21:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a plot to me. We do have 4 appearences, all seeming to have some sort of plot, in my opinion. I think if the next email has DNA evidence in it, maybe we should add a new section to the page about the sub-plot (although not neccessarily a new page altogether).

There may be a plot behind these occurrences, but it would only be guesswork for us right now. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough if there is an actual plot behind it or not. Patience! Loafing 22:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I hope this isn't too forum-esque, but if there is an ending to this plot, I think a character will find the evidence and hold it above his head. "I found it! The DNA evidence!" --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 22:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Imagine if they do it all year and it turns out the evidence was a vital piece of figuring out what happened to Decemberween 2005! Bad Bad Guy 02:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Decemberween 2005 was moved to July, right? Anyway, I'm hoping that this will happen in some form... --ComputerBox 13:39, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Objection to myself! --ComputerBox 13:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it would be sheer brilliance if they were to continue this until email 173, culminating in The Paper's replacement somehow. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:04, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Film Noir

I think it's also noteworthy that Homestar hangs up a trenchcoat and fedora when Marzipan asks if he's found the DNA evidence yet... -Cyndentia

Although trenchcoats and fedoras are a common theme among film noir, it's probably not related and could be any number of things. Knowing TBC, one would expect them to grossly exaggerate such a reference, such as reducing the entire scene to white on black and then having Homestar actually notice the change. — Lapper (talk) 21:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

All but one?

Bad Bad Guy brought up the fact that the only email of aught seven to not include a joke about the DNA evidence is looking old. I'm kinda iffy on this one, and would like to hear peoples opinions. In conclusion, should we add it or not? Bluebry 21:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Given that awrt-severn only has five emails so far, I say leave it off for now. --Jay (Gobble) 21:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
