(Episode 20) Discussing the mysterious light switch cord in the Lake House, and where exactly it takes Estevez.
"One question I have after Alan Wake II is why exactly is there a door in the ocean view that leads into Dylan's head, assuming most likely that that's where Estevez ended up when she goes through that door.
We see the door in control whenever we go through the hotel, implying the place was already created in some fashion.
But when Dylan mentally came to occupy it is the question.
The promo material says that Dylan's been here the whole seven years he's been in a coma, and the barren grayness of the place reminds me a little bit of Astral Plane.
That isn't to discredit the notion that the place's grayness came from the two decades he spent in the bureau just damn near whitewashing his psyche.
And to be honest, it's probably a bit of both, and has led me to the theory that the gap in some way linked or overlapped with Astral Plane, and that the board somehow has a hand in Dylan's coma.
Whether that was by starting the coma or somehow keeping him from waking up, we don't know."
Yeah, so all really good things to talk about and think about.
And I actually had to make some notes on this one because it was so long.
[laughs] There's, like, so many details, so many points in here.
So, um, I made some notes.
But without my notes, uh, what do you think about that particular situation with the, the door, the appearing for individuals, in, in this case Dylan? Because I think that it was already there.
I think that for certain people they just manifest.
Like, who's to say Jesse's door wasn't there when she got there? Like, soon as she stepped through the doors, a, you know, a, one was created for her.
Yeah, no, that's a really good theory that, yeah, the, the doors could be, you know, specific for that person.
Mm-hmm.
And then yeah, with Estevez, maybe that door that led to Dylan was specific for her.
Like, Estevez was supposed to see Dylan, and, you know, sh- 'cause she didn't really know what was going on with the oldest house.
I mean, it had been s-
Dark
... yeah, it had been dark.
Yeah.
And, um, you know, when Estevez goes through it, it says it goes to the Panopticon, and then she's talking to Dylan and she's like, "Is this the Panopticon?"
[laughs] Yeah.
And, uh, yeah, um, you know, even Dylan himself seemed kinda confused about-
