Okay now that the show is over, I'm curious: what does the TWH Tumblr fandom think about the fan theory that Alice is Claire and went back in time as an older adult and eventually ended up with Nick again? It's super popular on the subreddit for some reason but personally I feel like it undermines the whole Max/Alice endgame and that Max would likely have to die tragically in the future for this to even be feasible. She'd have no reason to want to go back to be with someone else unless Max was permanently out of the picture, and with the way the series ended it seems like they're probably going to last, because the whole point of her storyline was her being able to let go of the past and finally look forward to her future life.
I also think the theory is very weird given that Nick is older in the present day, when Alice is still a teenager, even though she originally met him in the past as a teenager himself. It just makes the situation incredibly awkward to me and if the show magically gets picked up by another network/streaming service for an additional season I really don't want them to pursue this storyline. It'd just rub a lot of people the wrong way I think, plus again it'd be a slap in the face to Max's character and the fact that he waited so long for Alice to realize that she had feelings for him. I know K.C. had that whole bit with telling Alice that "everything's a countdown to something" - which could imply anything including their Uncle Max dying in the future (although it's most likely referring to Abby dying since how else did they end up with the ring). But it just doesn't sit right with me
