So for at least 3 years, Dirk and Roxy began talking to the past. And it was when only Jake affirmed that he believed in Dirk that gave Dirk the courage to tell him the truth. Meaning that Jake had 3 years worth of knowledge that their friends came from the future.
See….I figured that out finally when I made my joke a few posts ago. And I was going to wait a bit for the big sum-up or a better moment to make my theory of why Dirk actually lived in the future, and wasn’t yeeted there by some disastourous star-ship cruiser which is what I initially thought. But…Dirk beat me to the punch here.
