The OA: 9 Crazy Fan Theories That Might Actually Be True
1. Praire's In A Coma Or Purgatory
So, what if the story isn't a lie... but it's not the truth either. Nina didn't get adopted, didn't go missing for seven years, but instead 'died' when the bus crashed.
The theory states that Nina now exists in either in a coma, waiting to wake up, or in purgatory, waiting to cross over to the other side. It notes that when she was in the bus, there were four other children with her - making a total of five, two boys and two girls.
It also explains why Hap killed all of his victims by drowning them. Therefore she has to make a choice, to go onwards or back. It's interesting, though doesn't explain why her mind created this particular story, or where she is at the end (though that could be a representation of her waking up and coming back to life).
On that note, another theory is that at the end of the show she is now in purgatory, or at least another dimension. The all white room invokes imagery of heaven, and ties in with the idea of the fifth movement being death. So she's been shot, and now is the time for her to either move on or go back.
It's all enough to keep our heads spinning until The OA finally returns. What are your favourite theories? Let us know down in the comments.
