Talk:Matthew Palmer/@comment-32201951-20181124023151

Sometimes I think that Matt was right the whole time. Sam and The Kid could have been The Lamb and The Goat, and Wormwood could have been the Fallen Star. You have to admit, it is very weird that Matt was unreligious at all until passing out by carbon monoxide poisoning, and when he awoke he suddenly believed in this new religion. Sure, you can say it was the poisoning and Matt was crazy the whole time, but it is a plausible theory that Matt really did see something when passed out.

Some of the story even aligns with his predictions. It's been a while since I've read the series, but I do remember thinking at times that what Matt predicted would occur actually did happen later in the series. I believe Matt predicted a great fire, which was the fire in South London that displaced many children, and I can't remember other things he predicted, but I know some of them did come true.

Oh, there's also the thing with The Kid saying his name is Angus Day. Maybe he knew about their crazy religion and was just playing along, or maybe his name is actually Angus Day. Sam and The Kid also became inseperable, just like The Lamb and The Goat. Let's not forget about the scene at the end of The Dead, where Sam and The Kid approach the Tower of London and resemble the picture of The Goat and The Lamb on Matt's banner.
