Angren, Angren - could you spare a tiny second and take a veeery good look where this thread belongs to? Because unless I'm completely blind, I believe the letter starts with a 'G'.

As for Andrew, I have no idea what you're talking about. It's hilarious somewhat that you quote my sentences and somehow I just couldn't make sense how it has anything to do with you. It was mainly addressed at BenRG. Did I specifically call out your theory to be wrong? Did I shame you in front of god-knows-how-many readers by presenting damning evidences and shoot you down with the little finger? I believe I have not.

The worst part of it was that you automatically assume that Roman's ultimate objective was to return the Grimm. Plausible, sure, though I would strongly argue that he's not the type who would want the destruction of his own kind. So may we're talking that his actions would eventually, indirectly, not to his own will, cause the return of the Grimm. This is commonly accepted by most people, and I have no qualms with it as well.

But if we follow the second reasoning and you still insist that Roman did yada yada yada to thin our Beacon's forces and eventually bring back the Grimm, then you're confusing yourself with the first reasoning. Badly.

Since you believe and support in the first reasoning - which is completely fine - then I'll follow my belief in the second reasoning and support that. I judge that Roman is not the type who would want the destruction of mankind. He wants control, he wants something to control, and he wants something he understands - mankind - to control. He might even not dream that big and just want to be the criminal mastermind behind the city Vale. At any rate, he would never have intentionally undermined humanity's effort in defending themselves against the Grimm - in fact he wants the Grimm to freaking stay away, because otherwise it would just be a complete mess. As such, any part of his plans would not result in the return of the Grimm, short term speaking.

And then you'll be talking about Crimson behind everything conspiracy theory. Note that from the looks of things Roman is still the top of his group, and Crimson was his helicopter pilot, in addition of being an invaluable bodyguard. Do you even see Crimson at the end of Episode 8, when he was mulling over his plans? No? Then it's arguable that right now, Crimson has little to no influence in his current plans, and so his plans now would not involve inviting the Grimm back into the world.

We haven't even established that Crimson was the big bad yet. I will laugh at your faces if it turns out that Crimson was completely innocent and a poor victim in the entire story. This reminds me of Lesbian Salander from The Girl And The Dragon's Tattoos series, and how she was labeled wrongly in the newspapers as a crazy lesbian satanist. Holy wow.

And finally, regarding the quote of my own words. I meant what I said. If you choose to misinterprete it by mingling it with your own ideas - I've never said anything even remotely close to attacking cities or Huntsmen/Huntresses - that's your own choice. I remain firm with my own theory: Roman's main objective was to gather Dust. He does it either by stealing or outright robbery or something else we did not know yet. Thus all of his plans revolve around this objective. Done.
