The first one, surely! It's iconic. One of those DT cultural touchstones - everyone remembers where they were when they discovered that Charlie Dominici was the killing haaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...!

Yeah, I have no idea what the cakeless person in that analogy is meant to be eating. If he's got some sort of cake substitute, it should really have been worked into the narrative at some point. As it stands, the options are:

  • Hoard a cake just to stare blankly into its doughy edifice.
  • Make futile chewing motions with your mouth while starving to death.

Have you guys watched the Metropolis 2000: Scenes from New York DVD concert with the commentary by the band? They explain the story and it's connections/references to "Metropolis Part 1: The Miracle And The Sleeper" really well!

For those taking the poll seriously, this.

Finally Free was a good twist, but DT said that elements from a couple of stories, including the movie Dead Again, were incorporated, so that pretty much spoiled it.

John Petrucci: Yeah woo Italy! Wonder what I should go see first
The Count of Tuscany:    Hey what's up, wanna go for a ride? I'll show you my bitchin' estate and you can meet my brother and stuff.
Petrucci: I don't see any way this could go wrong.
Count: Okay we're here, this is my brother, he's fancy as shit. Sorry if he's kind of a dick.
Petrucci: I! WANT TO STAY ALIVE! / EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE JUST DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT / I! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! SUDDENLY I'M FRIGHTENED FOR MY LIFE! I! WANT TO SAY GOODBYE! / THIS COULD BE THE LAST TIME YOU SEE ME ALIVE / I! I MAY NOT SURVIVE, KNEW IT FROM THE MOMENT WE ARRIVED!!
Count: ...
