While I am waiting on the loading and training of a model, I was ruminating. (Never let a data scientist idle out cycles longer than 10 minutes, exhibit A)
We are predicating a lot of the theories ( except dalli_x, bless their heart with boundless imagination) on available information and dropped hints / clues.
Thinking back to the entirety of the game, as well as doing a full Sage run over the weekend, I've closely monitored any hint or clue regarding to the Sage Burke theory before it actually happened. And here's the reality of it, it was actually one of the weakest possibilities ( I still contend that it was a stupid, twist for a twist's sake story development) amongst many. Worse still, DPC actively misdirected us with potential Sage fathers in the party.
This indicates one thing. DPC, knowing that his long dev cycle causes extensive theorycrafting both on patreon AND here, has taken to the approach of actively misdirecting us on many fronts. So, we have to start thinking what "facts" we take as facts are really as such, or a clever misdirect. ( In my opinion, such practices weakens an overall story, but that's neither here nor there)
I encourage everyone to start examining their ideas and theories for such potential misdirects. I have a few that is starting to make me very suspicious and paranoid regarding the story:
1) "The locked room." I am honestly beginning to think that it is the biggest misdirect in the story. It might just be an extra room Bella uses as storage for the stuff his husband left behind. We think it's this big important thing due to that one scene in ep4 ending, but really.... What else? Sus, very sus.
2) The royce mansion. We think, that right now, the mansion Jill grew up in is the same one from Lynette's picture, and there's no denying that. However. What do we really think about that? It's all for certain that Jill's mom isn't a friend of Lynette's, the ages dont match up for anything involving Jill's big sister, sooo... An aunt of hers? We placed a certain importance on this detail, yet I'm beginning to think, ESPECIALLY in light of that you can only see this in one of six major paths, this is another misdirect.
3) The infamous "that" Chad and Dawe were talking about. It has been theorized that alphas are involved in something very illegal and that's what they were trying to keep from prying eyes when Chad accepted his punishment. (Having an easier time with Troy being a big bonus) I keep thinking that is another big misdirect now, and it's just probably them using doping and/or steroids.
4) Nora. She's just a huge misdirect in itself. I'm almost convinced that she'll come up unaffiliated with everything else.
5) The pregnancy test. This is either Ashley or.... Yea, any other option will just be stupid and another twist for twist's sake. Misdirection %110.
What are the things you guys think might be misdirects?
