I love all the theories people create on this game. I started seeing these theories since ep5-6. And everytime when a new ep is released, none of those theories comes to life, just the plain simple that we are already expecting. Everyone created so much expectiation for that dinner at burke's house and at the end of the day it was just a normal dinner and a normal conversation about Maya.
I think based on the theories some people in this forum creates, they'd probably write BAD better than DPC. Just sad that DPC likes to do this all by himself.
I think the problem is that because BaD is peak in terms of AVNs people are placing DPC on a pedestal in terms of writing ability and crediting him with being some sort of trope breaker like George RR Martin in early ASOIAF books. Also long term waits between chapters build theory crafting just like the break between A Dance With Dragons and the still not released The Winds of Winter have built up the theories for ASOIAF.
The problem is DPC doesn't actually break any tropes. All the tropes are unchanged from what you'd expect them to be. There's not been any dramatic twists if you've been paying attention to the previous story. Josy and Maya clues were there - Josy being careful not to say boyfriend when discussing the fact she's in a relationship, Maya being very evasive when she admitted that she only says she has a boyfriend to put guys off her.
Sage being a Burke was also clued in earlier episode. Jacob telling Fuckface that it's not just Chad who he has to be careful of regarding Sage, the clear blocking of the third picture when Jade was throwing things at Burke.
The one thing that could be considered a twist but would still be DPC following common tropes would be Nick not being the traitor in the DIKs, either there'll be no traitor but Nick gets accused and thrown out the DIKs for it or there will be a traitor who isn't Nick. This is because the common trope is to present a prime suspect and make it more and more obvious it's them (Nick is the one who was best friends with Vinny, Nick is the only DIK who doesn't have his room smashed up) and then reveal that they were innocent all along. This would be a huge twist for a lot of people but would be expected from anyone who watches/reads crime fiction (very popular in DPC's native Sweden).
