Beyond the Alley of the Dolls Speculation Thread

If you are a character which are that medium aware, I guess you should know the "Player Character" is the powerful puzzle-solving force in the universe and cloning him will make no effect, because the clones will be NPC. And the Sams aren't that bright as far I can see. But I guess that character isn't that medium aware anyway.

I found hilarious the fact Papierwaite was basically running for his life when the clones appeared, shouting "The Sam's are here" or something among those lines, indicating those Clones aren't recent, but they were made some time ago. Also, I'm wondering if the Toy Store from "The Penal Zone" has something to do here. Maybe those clones are actually dolls like some people was saying some time ago.

(Thank goodness we still have Puzzle Agent for the rest of this month. The waiting for the Episode I was actually waiting for is killing me now!)

A this point Sam knows Norrington is a bad guy but Max thinks he's a good guy, I hoping for a little conflict next episode.

I think Norrington is really Yog-Soggoth.

I'm extremely excited for this episode, simply because we know almost nothing about the characters or locations. In previous episodes, we had an idea of where we were going and who we were meeting based on concept art and the trailer. We knew the museum was going to show up, we knew we'd be going to Sammun-Mak's tomb, we knew about the characters Sal and Papierwaite, etc. But what do we know about this episode, other than that there will be Sam clones? Nothing, and that has me excited.

I, too, think that Dr. Norrington and the Narrator are the same being. Maybe he is a transdimensional being that uses the Norrington persona to interact with Sam & Max's dimension ...

But I think the Sam clones are part of Momma Bosco's plan to reenter the physical realm.

You're right, I do think Doctor Norrington will turn out to be somebody familiar:



Commodore Doctor Norrington?

Haha, no. I'm not sure who Norrington is, and I'm not at all certain yet that he's the narrator. Of course that means I have no clue who he might actually be...

[Tjibbbe]

I don't think Norrington is the Narrator. They don't have the same voice actor.

My money's on this guy:

Maybe the Norrington is really LeChuck and all season is a giant crossover... it would explain things like Guybrush-style dancing perfomed by Sam... nah, just kidding :P

Anyway, I'm not convinced about that dance - it should mean that in near future Sam will dance like that... but it's almost impossible... he won't be dressed like at beginning of TSMB again and in vision he did...

I'm thinking it could happily fit in with canon if Mac Salmon turned out to be Mr Spatula having been granted a body by unknown powers?

Hmm...

Dr. Norrington
->
LeChuck Norrington
->
Chuck Norris?

[tabstis]

Narrator and Norrington's voice are both very similiar and perhaps Norrington's voice is distorted if he's speaking through dimensions?

But mr Spatula is dead, Ep 205 should clear that up pretty well.

I do hope it is mac salmon, it would be nice to see someone from the comics.

Since when does a character's death mean they're out of the series?

According to the audio commentary on the Season 2 DVD, Mr Spatula would have transformed into Mack Salmon in Moai Better Blues. In the end it didn't happen because Steve Purcell didn't want the origins of the character to be revealed in any way.

... Or *did* he?

[alithanar8]

My guess is Norrington is actually... the commissioner! He has the same role as the commissioner in the last seasons and think about it, we don't really know all that much about either.

[Baliame]

Norrington and Narrator. It does sound awfully similar.

[tbm1986]

Damn you Americans! Just because two voices have no accent, they are posh and so similar they could be the same? They have different voices in the credits and having been around non-American people all my life, I can safely say they sound different to me.

[Hassat Hunter]

I think Norrington and the Narrator are the same too.

Even if they use 2 different voice-actors, that wouldn't exclude it. It has happened before, when they start speaking with both during the big reveal and all...

Geez, you need to calm down. There's no need to curse at the entire population of the United States.

Although the voices DO sound somewhat similar to American ears, you're right to say that they are subtly different. I, too, think the Norrington-is-the-Narrator theory is spurious, and based on very little actual evidence. But at the moment, it's just as good as any other theory about who Norrington really is.

PS: Andrew Chaikin, who voices the Narrator, is an American. I don't know about the guy who played Norrington.

Have we forgotten about Sal who obviously lied that he was fired because grandpa Stinky didn't like cockroaches around food. Sal can still be the villain in episode 304, if you remember Moma Bosco's power core when Sam said "That is a question for another episode" and 3 episodes have already past so it must be the next episode or the final. And one more thing: Sal and the two Stinky's have been in the villain's lineup, and if I do remember correctly everyone from the villain lineup even those who we thought where good after all where bad guys(Amelia Earhart, Papierwitte,etc...), so I think that Sal, The dummy and the Stinky's will be villain's in the next episode. Did I just wright all that? :O
