... more foreshadowing ...
everything is NOT going to be fine.

[lesbrent]

in one part, she's shaking her head "no" and saying that everything will be fine....definately foreshadowing..... (I hope!)

[Joss]

Did you notice the huge changes in light? It seems like it took long to film this one.. Jessice even feels tired by the end.

Well.. I'm glad to see Bree had enough of Gemma already.. She tries very hard to reason her points in a gentle way so as to not hurt Gemma's feelings.. But the message is clear: My parents are not your parents, my life is not your life and I'm not you so stop assuming that because it went wrong for you it has to be the same way for me.

To me this is a self-affirmation.. Bree is telling to the world "Hey guys! I may be just a teenager unexposed to the world and overprotected but I still have my brains in perfectly healthy and working condition so I can still make my own decisions"

Now.. There is an underlying message very obvious tempting us to think "Bree is being too naive and underestimates the cult's perssuasion powers. If they really want her bad in their ceremony they may preparing their next step.. She may be still in danger and even more than never before!"

So.. Do we trust her or do we play chicken and tell her to run away and take PM with her?

Is she mature enough to deal with the situation?

Has she learned the lesson about "choosing who to trust" Gemma was talking about?

Hmmm.. I think we could have our LG back after all!

Yeah I think this video confirmed that the last video was just foreshadowing, along with this one.

Yay!

looks like we're going to be getting a bit of both worlds... personally i'd be really upset if they totally dropped the ceremony/cult stuff, it adds some excitment to the mix of sweetness.

Me too. As much as I disliked the departure from the sweetness, to just drop everything surrounding the ceremony, cult, etc. and revert back to the regular like nothing ever happened would be absurd in the worst way possible. It'd make the past 20 episodes totally irrelevent and be probably the most anti-climactic thing in history.
I know the Creators wouldn't do that to us though, and I have faith that the ceremony storyline, no matter how artificial and jumbled, will not be set aside just yet. They just better do something to make this all at least a little worthwhile.

But, but, but, thats what you people were asking for?! *dies*

[jayhenry]

you people?!?! Oh no you didn't just go there.

Something about Gemma's monologue about how her mom has always looked up to Bree's, and particularly when she say that her mom still does, really struck me. I got the sense that was significant. Perhaps a deeper truth is encoded in her "how our moms met" story. I wonder how the moms' meeting and bree's parents' meeting compare... Anyway, it seems as if the creators are trying to reinforce some subtle message about Bree's parents through this latest of Bree's vlogs. I wonder if maybe Bree's mom is at a level in the religion that Bree is not aware of (Priestess, maybe). We've been somewhat curious/wary of her mom from early on- especially when the only direct reference to her mom is in relation to ceremony prep. I can't help but think Bree's parents are deceiving her, maybe to keep a closer eye on Daniel and flesh out what he knows..... keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

For all of us who have obsessed over LG15 since July (and maybe earlier), I think we have a very different perspective than folks who may have just discovered the franchise. Think about it -

1. we waited as long as a week between webisodes
2. we witnessed the supersleuthing that eventually outed the Creators and the ensuing onslaught of media that surrounded it (ok, the media was fairly limited but to Breeologists it seemed so BIG)
3. we suffered the horrendous early days at the Phorum - it was so bad that Alissa decided to create her own forum (here at the Cove) and a great many of us moved to the Cove and never looked back
4. we watched the CiW series at first with anticipation and then with horror

Anyone who is new to Lonelygirl, just discovers them on GooTube or hears about them on the VH1 awards show, is going to view this IMS with entirely different filters. And I do think that if you view the show without the experiences that some of us old-timers have had, it is actually a cute show and a lot of the things we angst over here at the Cove become obsolete.

Hi everyone!

I've been folowing this on Youtube and later, in the LG15 forum since about August.. nice to meet you all and see your various points of view!

We've been given so much info on Bree's parents thru Bree and Gemma.. yet, truthfully.. all we have are other peoples' views of them. Gemma's latest video leads me to believe that even if they are being totally truthful and honest with Bree.. (which I kind of think they are.. ), what happens next might be out of their control. Their only option, if confronted with nutty cult members who are determined to complete their ceremony with or without Bree's attendance are to take Gemma's advice and make a run for it.

I'm not seeing how this can be done via the vlogs, tho.. so I'm kind of stalled and waiting to see where we'll be taken next!
