i voted "it was amazing"
for good reasons, and bad.
not so good: the initial hiccups at myspace (having weather channel vids pop on a page with all the details for one of the finale episodes was very surreal), lg15.com crashing 10 minutes into the 12 hour trek.
the good: the suspense level starting from Installment 1, nikki b and voyboy showing up, the watcher showing up at the end of Installment 2, Jackson's acting after being stabbed, Sarah's monologue on the beach, Bree's monologue on the cellphone and Jonas' reaction, the fans all communicating here, at lg15today, and at IRC to keep everyone up to date ....

I think it had its ups and downs. There was a lot of wasted time and I think they could have accomplished the same in a 6 in 6. For 12 they should have had more story. I also have voted higher if not for the last video. The retconning to give Bree a noble death was awful and didn't work for me at all. I saw her as a coward and a traitor in her last moments in the show - being crazy and brainwashed would have been better.
I also think a bad point is how final it was. I wouldn't be surprised that instead of a ratings boost this results in a ratings dive. It would have functioned better as a series finale then a season.

Not bad. The Good: I think the concept of releasing the vids in such a short time period was really cool. I've always thought that the phan interaction between vids has always been the best part of all of this project. Ramping up the timeline was an interesting concept. I think Mesh and the kidz did a pretty good job with #11. The Bad: Too much action and not enough just plain vlogging. It could have been done with much less violence and faux blood. The whole Greg as Watcher stuff really did nothing for me. The Ugly: The crash of the phorum right out of the starting gate. The non-resolution of what the hell the ceremony really is (was?). Whatever. The retcon of #12 was awful, but the writers need a fresh start I guess. Absinthe? ? (and an assload of never to be resolved pink herrings) The Worst: Having Bree's last real vlog of the series be one of the hideous HoJ infomercials. Her character deserved better than a retcon cell-phone "blog" at the end.

Amazing.
I really loved that Nikki B. ended up in a canon vid. I'd like to think that she and voyboy will work together again; the fan interaction of including him was superb.
Both Yousef and Jackson were outstanding in the eleventh installment; I was moved.
I agree with CG about the HoO vlog. Hopefully, they can get Jess to record one more. Certainly, the upcomming e-mail from "Purple Monkey" could then lead to a hidden video. I hope so, anyway.
The faux blood during most of the day was a bit much, but I loved the action. Nikki braining Watcher/Greg was awesome. I was amazed when they portrayed DB as having stabbed the Shadow.

Spacie- I enjoyed the finale WAY more than you did (though, not quite as much as everyone else) Despite the fact that we don't see eye to eye on it, your posts have been my favorite...even though you ripped us all a new one.

I think I come off as far more irate than I really am...but thank you. I'd also like to point out that I too am crazed.

I voted "Not bad. I was entertained ... in a good way"
I watched them one after the other when I got home from work and didn't get caught up until Bree was already dead. So I didn't get to engage in too much of the snarky commentary here.
As I mentioned in an earlier post I was glad they dropped the obvious attempt at comedy of the last few weeks, the return to drama works much better for me, it makes the absurdities much more entertaining. I had some good laughs in numbers 1-8, but the graphic violence of number 9 took the fun out of it. In numbers 10-12 Bree's death was heartbreaking. I didn't expect it to be, since we all suspected it was coming, but Bree's final demise would of been heartbreaking no matter what the circumstances were or how absurd the premise of the story, because after all, our infatuation with Bree is why we are all here following this thing in the first place.
