Tommy Westphall – A Multiverse Explored
Westphallian and CrossoverMan:
Who is Tommy Westphall?
Tommy Westphall was an austistic child on the TV series St Elsewhere who, it was revealed in the closing moments of the final episode of that series, had dreamt the entire run of the show.
What’s this about his Mind?
St Elsewhere has direct connections to twelve other television series – many of them direct crossovers of character to and from the series. Others make mention of specific parts of the St Elsewhere fictional universe, placing them within the same fictional sphere.
So?
If St Elsewhere exists only within Tommy Westphall’s mind, then so does every other series set within the same fictional sphere.
So begins a horrifying waste of time where two hundred and eighty-two TV shows are connected to one another through a web of references and crossovers.
Wait, two hundred and eighty-two?
Yes. Two hundred and eighty-two.
