Do you think Eli actually exists? OH came up with the theory that he doesn't, and the more I've watched it the more I think he's right! Newt is the only one who ever speaks to him or seems to see him. He appears out of nowhere and never changes his clothes. So, is he an imaginary friend, or (and this is where my vote goes) is Newt schizophrenic and Eli is an alter-ego?
Or are we reading far too much into it? Or are we the last people to cotton on to it?
