the old man actually removes his cast in an episode if my memory isnt failing me.

i read somewhere about a theory that the fingers represent power, for example gideon had the journal and quite a bit of info has 5 fingers, there was a cipher that said something along the lines of the handy man is not what he seems or knows more than he lets on im not too sure and he has 5 fingers, they somehow also linked it to how he didnt turn into a mindless zombie when he was bitten.

they back up the theory with the fact that the writer has 6 fingers since he would technically be the most powerful one but i think if that was the case maybe it's to do with knowledge, all these dudes know a whole lot even if in the case of soos they dont seem like they know much.

i want to believe its an artistic choice if it wasnt for the fact that they emphasis it with the 6 fingered glove stan wore.

the theory of knowledge and power though fall short because the boy band also had 5 fingers but idk since they are clones.
