Spoiler warning to those who haven't finished the game yet: - - - - - Does anyone have ideas as to what trope best applies to the Boss's dream sequence after being stabbed by the Nahualli? I was thinking of Dying Dream, as this does take place after the Boss is stabbed and left for dead. But then they managed to survive the stab wound. I also considered Disney Acid Sequence, as this dream has the Boss exploring a giant version of the board game they play with their friends complete with said friends appearing as game pieces before snake game pieces start taking over the board, said snakes representing Nahualli and his crew overtaking the Saints. Honestly, there's a lot to talk about with that part of the game which I have yet to see on the main page for this game here on this very wiki.

Should we get rid of Suspiciously Similar Substitute? I think that it's not nearly as clear cut as that entry makes it seem: As has been pointed out elsewhere, a hotshot female driver with anger issues is a closer parallel for Lin than Shaundi; and at least to me, the clear Shaundi analogue is Kev, the contacts guy who knows everyone in town because he's slept with half of them. If people are disagreeing as to who everyone is 'subbing in for', then it's not Suspiciously Similar Substitute. Except for Eli. He's the new Pierce.
