I'm sorry, but WHAT?

[starlet]

Wait, WHAT? What is going on here!

I haven't posted to the forum in quite a while. (not that I posted that much before, but still)
I kept waiting after the "ceremony" debacle for the series to redeem itself.
And it still hasn't.
I am appalled.

Nothing, NOTHING makes sense anymore about the entire series! I keep telling myself I will not watch anymore, but I keep hoping against hope that something will turn around.
Are we seriously, seriously supposed to believe the storyline and plot (or lack thereof).

Lets review shall we?
Bree posts uncomfortable video about "ceremony" then reveals that there was no ceremony and she is just preparing indefinitely. London Gemma finds Bree on You-tube. Daniel researches Bree's religion via the forums and Bree decides that she no longer trusts the elders and backs out of ceremony. Gemma tells Bree to be careful. Bree's parents leave mysterious note for Bree before they disappear. Bree and Daniel leave home and hide out on the road. They do not look for parents. Gemma tells Bree to look out for "watchers". Bree goes kinda crazy, their room gets ransacked and they set out again, (still not looking for parents) and decided (inexplicably) that their is a tracking device in the car and ditch car, becoming homeless and without any other choice than to go and live with stranger Jonas. Gemma tells Bree to go home. "The Order" puts camera in Daniel and Bree's Rooms. Daniel reveals that he trusts us, the fans, and will go to live with Jonas if the fans decide he is trustworthy. They do, but he does not go. Daniel leaves Bree, goes home, goes to Bree's house, finds something, though not the camera in his or Bree's Room. (did we ever find out what?)
Gemma is part of the order, and isn't even in London. Daniel Surprises Bree on Christmas, Bree gets cryptic message from Dad, decodes message, Steals Jonas Car and Money. Daniel and Jonas in turn find and decode cryptic Dad message (all without the help of the many comments and forum topics) and locate Bree and Dad. Bree learns from father that she is a "potential" and he nor her mother are her real parents. Bree's Dad gets shot. (or does he?) Bree hides in bathroom and decides shes not talking to her Mother. Bree will not talk to Daniel or Jonas about anything, but she makes video blogs about it. Bree tells Daniel and Jonas to give her space. Daniel and Jonas have male bonding session, make fun of grieving Bree. Bree randomly hooks up with Daniel. Daniel tells the world in vlog.

WTF?

This is making less and LESS sense!!!

Are we really supposed to logically believe any of this???

I'm so tired of waiting for something to actually happen that will make watching all this time actually worth it.
I've even tried getting into the Opaphid and Tachyon but watching them just makes me think "Am I really supposed to believe that for some unknown reason that the characters Bree, Daniel, and Jonas, and even Gemma can't see these videos?
Bree, Daniel or Jonas couldn't have seen the videos about the Room Cameras, WHY?
Gemma couldn't have seen she was being followed, WHY?

WTF?


Sorry for the very long rant. I'm just totally fed up.

It's okay, starlet. Let it out....

I don't watch the show "Lost," but it's mysterious winding storyline has been brought up in comparison with LG. I'm sure this article would interest the LG creators: www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/TV/01/16/television.lost.reut/index.html

... (starlet summarizes the plot of the 2nd book of bree here)...

WTF?

that was a hilarious summary, mostly because it was so accurate.

your pain is our pain too. since the creators hit the papers in september, we've gone into a complete twilight zone. the only chance for recovery now may be if bree wakes up and its the day before the ceremony again ...

No matter how cliche that sounds milo, at this point I'd kill for that to happen.
It's funny how much I'm willing to let slide in lg15 that I'd hate in anything else if only they'd retract it happening (another example is the horrid sensationalism surrounding the hook up episode. If it turns out to be fake, it'd be terribly annoying and yet I'd actually be glad no matter how overdone that kind of thing is.)

[curiousgeorge]

I think Starlet's post eliminated the need for about two thousand posts addressing all of the above WTF issues.

Hye, I actually am praying (metaphorically) that the last vid is a ruse. If it is, I will chalk it up as just another example of the ARG/Order nonsense ruining the storyline, but it is better than the alternative.

We desperately need a WayBack Machine! I think the phorum would benefit from oversight by Mr. Peabody!

Yea it's always been a problem about what exactly the characters can see on the forums and in other videos etc.

I think the story and the plot makes sense... it's just what the characters know about the story that causes issues.

Hmm... now I think about it, this problem needs to be worked out for all IMS series using the real time video blog style............

[slainte]

Hey C.G. it looks like someone is finally paying attention to you! See post above.

[curiousgeorge]

I may just ramp that whole issue back up in the next week, with appropriate vigor, Slainte.

I have yet to find a question even brought up at the phourm about Bree, DB, and Jonas' not commenting on Gemma's hacked YT account and the accompanying Tachyon videos. If anyone has seen a post at the phorum regarding this, please let me know.

I don't have the stomach for the ARG threads, so there may be one in there, but it is relevant to the REAL story...

[thiller]

I'm glad you will "ramp up" this issue. I wouldn't even know where to begin.
I am all for suspension of belief. I can't go for suspension of intelligence, though. Hopefully, this'll be addressed soon.

[starlet]

I haven't watched most of the last few videos, and I just watched 'A Human Ransom' on silent. (which was probably just as good as watching with sound)
...
I think I have lost all interest in this now...

I <i>want</i> to like the series, but I just can't seem to do that anymore.

No questions are being answered and they are just screwing around now.

I can't suspend reality or 'breeality' this far. I just can't.
I do like mysteries, and I like ongoing mysteries, like the tv show 'Lost'. But this, is just not working for me anymore. This isn't a mystery, its a mess.
