Orwellian Wiress Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I've been thinking a lot about alternative readings of shows and this is a really interesting one! Sorta off topic but here's my pet conspiracy theory: White Whale, SOS and Wicked Games are a trilogy. The marching members in SOS are survivors of the White Whale incident. They later found their own colony, got swept up in religious fanaticism and started witch hunts, leading to Wicked Games 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdaddy Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 5 hours ago, TheOneWhoKnows said: I mean purely speculative. But the whole Ahab (Boston) going for the white whale (First place at finals/ taking on BD). That first place trophy being that feat they are trying to reach. They killed the white whale every night until finals where they allowed the white whale to win (BD winning again). The BAC designers described the white whale as the elusive DCI title, not necessarily BD. And I'd guess they changed the ending on finals night just to throw a curve ball, similar to what that design staff did at Crown with the redemption ending on finals night in 2016 (I think just finals night - unsure). I'd bet it had nothing to do with BD winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seem all of Boston's modern shows but I wanna try and make a unified timeline. I think no matter what Paradise Lost should probably be first. It would be really cool if it began with that and ended with Wicked Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said "and as if the "white whale" wasn't also a slap in the face to BD (sorry not sorry)" in the OP. What, then... someone hacked your account? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
