Paranoid King he/him Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) In book 1 of Alcatraz, in the very first chapter, there is a scene where he is tied up to an altar. But he isn't sacrificed in that book, because he says that scene will come in a future book. As subsequent books have been produced, he continues to claim that the altar scene will be forthcoming soon, and in book 4, he says that he always planned to have it in book 5. However, throughout the books, he has claimed numerous times that he is a liar. He has tried to prove it in numerous ways, and in book 2, he had the analogy of the fish and the shoes, where you are so focused on him saying he is a fish that you forget that he actually has white shoes. My theory is that he will bring these two things together, and the altar scene will never happen. It's the ultimate way of proving that he is a liar. Because you are so focused on the storyline throughout the series, you almost forget that he is a liar, but neglecting the altar scene would make you remember that fact for a long, long time.

Jo and the Bush all/any Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 It would make sense that he'll be nearly sacrificed, since his blood would form a massively powerful Lenses. And I don't think Brandon would be that mean as alcatraz. 1
Paranoid King he/him Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 It would make sense, but in the Alcatraz books, the opposite of your expectations is what happens. In making sense, it makes sense for it to not make sense. 2
Paranoid King he/him Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 What? Of course I'm not! The assassins are real! Also, on a side tangent, Elantris is a scourge upon the land. Someone really needs to issue the extermination order. 3

WeiryWriter he/him Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Brandon has said that he has thought about not including the Altar seen at all but that he decided against it. The Altar seen /is/ in Book 5 (and that's Brandon saying it not Alcatraz, so we can trust it). 1
WayneSpren he/him Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Are we sure we can trust him? He did release stormlight 8 after all... jk 2
Sarcasm she/her Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) What if he's lying that he's a liar? And he's manipulating us with the truth? Oh my god, he's Shai! (Emperor's Soul) Edited May 26, 2015 by Sarcasm 2
HurinThalion he/him Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 It would make sense that he'll be nearly sacrificed, since his blood would form a massively powerful Lenses. And I don't think Brandon would be that mean as alcatraz. You mean Alcatraz would be that mean as Brandon?
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 You mean Alcatraz would be that mean as Brandon? . . . I actually have no idea what I meant. That was a long time ago.
