The biggest plot twist is on FF, but it's not because the shrink turns out to be the Miracle, it's because it's stated that Nicholas had a wife and son and THEY DIDN'T REALIZE HE CAME HOME!!!

I can't see how any other option than Finally Free could be right for this one here.

But. But... down the cellar stairs... he disappeared...

Yes.

The count? Seriously? That plot twist is The Count saying to John Petrucci, "Whoa man, you're being a bit overdramatic."
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: ...
Count: u ok

Yeah, that sums it up quite nicely.

You know I always wondered the same thing. He had a kid and a wife, so where were they? I don't think they would be gone while Nicholas was undergoing hypnotic treatment.

Orbert · « **Reply #45 on:** November 12, 2012, 06:45:37 PM »

His son had a soccer game after school that day. Nicholas had an important meeting at work with a new client and it ran late, so his wife took their son to the game. It was an away game, one of the few over in the next county with a non-conference team. By time Nicholas finally got off work, the game was over, so he just went home. Made a drink, turned on the TV, figured he'd relax a bit before they came home.

Come on, you have to fill some things yourself.

It's all in the comics and novels, along with the part where the brother gets a sex change. DREAM THEATER EVEN SAYS IT'S CANON.

How about that abrupt ending to PMU? A musical plot twist perhaps.

It was the Mayans. They got stoned and forgot to tell DT to end it.

In fact, the reason it cuts off on the album is because the real Dream Theater are still playing it. The band we've been listening to for the last twenty years is New York's finest Dream Theater tribute act.

Someone on tumblr discovered that hologram John Petrucci filled in JP's shoes while he was busy getting huge. So, rob's scoop doesn't really surprise me.

First he seems scary, but then he's not scary.

I don't much get it either.
