the seasons connecting

Something I've thought about before, and now a bit more so, knowing we'll have at least 9 seasons total.

Regarding the seasons connecting, I can see the show ending one of two ways.

A: Things stay as they are now, with some connections, but never any explained larger significance.

B: There turns out to be a sort of big picture that connects them all in a grand way.

Personally, I'm in favor of A. I feel like B would be reaching too much. It would make the show feel like it was taking itself too seriously, in attempting to explain a mythology that isn't really even there. It would just feel awkward and clunky, especially if/when we were inundated with scenes of characters played by the same actor were to meet. Plus, that would be a scheduling nightmare and a logistic/filming nightmare (/opportunity?)

I hope it only stays at small connections like character crossovers. It would actually keep the idea of an anthology series.

The small connections are fine but then I saw speculation that Ben or Dr. Thredson was Gloria's son who was given away or other something like that and groaned. I'm okay with a little crossover but if suddenly everyone was related the whole time that would be a bit much. Especially any connection that clearly wasn't planned at the time and just hastily retconned.

Fortunately that leak is probably fake.
