Ransacked! [11.27.2006]

I think that the character interaction section of the forum exists for bree, but the rest is outside of the breeniverse.

I think the chat may be bait to attract more people to the lg15 site.

Yes, this is clearly a ratings stunt and they will just get it in for the end of November sweeps. The chat feels very forced and totally random to me, but I am not going to bitch about the storyline since, well, that is too easy

I can’t help but not be overly excited about the chat. In an interview M&M said that Hollywood was only using the internet for supplemental material, but I’m pretty sure they are approaching it the same way. Look at OpAphid, they have flat out said you don’t have to watch it to follow LG, and likely anything said in this chat will be recapped in the next video. All of the interactive elements are optional, and thus they are just as supplemental as a BSG webisode. I applaud them for finally trying to do something along the lines of interaction (even though this feels more gimmicky then ground breaking storytelling). I just think M&M have to commit totally to making LG interactive, and not care if it becomes too confusing for their much larger audience that doesn’t seem to want to role play.

Or they could just go back to the way the show was back before the promised interaction, back when the LG franchise was two quality channels (really only one). Either way, pick a route and stick with it. Sitting on the fence is just going to result in it being an unsatisfying experience for both types of audiences.

Oh yeah, and Daniel was awesome. He is becoming more and more representative of how the fans (or maybe just me) would be reacting to Bree at this point. I loved it.

well its finaly up on youtube.

i wonder if they are gona take a poll of what ppl want bree to do. as i see it, it comes down to 2 choiced (3 really but 1 doesnt count)

1) listen to daniel and go back to face the cult

2) go live with jonas in "neverland" forever (leaving daniel on his own after some kind of last straw)

3) continue to motel jump/live out of a car


oh well i guess only 1 viable option but both 1 and 2 could work and still keep at least some viewers i guess

yah, it's really too bad they couldn't go visit that Boris guy who used to be so into Bree

I say give them a chance on the chat thing. This has the potential to be a cool, genuinely interactive dimension to the show (that could have easily been introduced months ago...)

As much as I hate to admit it, the "chat thing" is a super smart idea. It has almost mustered enough interest in me to sign up at the phorum. Almost is the key word cause mostly I still can't be bothered. Also anytime I visit the phorum (only when Hye has something to say about it, and during Yousefgate) I want to shoot myself.

Any word on whether Daniel will be at the chat? Cause it actually might be worth it to witness the first Daniel/Jonass meeting.

Well.. I'm a little behind on the videos.. Anyway there is nothing really new on Bree's vids.. A few vids back I mentioned that Daniel was growing strong and in lead of the series now and Bree was kinda overused and lacked substance to hold the main role.. However it looks like they are having a hard time letting Bree fall behind and allowing Daniel to step forward as the main character of the series he is now.. I hope they don't keep this for too long or we can expect to see conversations like:

Daniel: "Bree! Run! They are here to kill us!"
Bree: "I think someone is upset around here.."
Daniel: "Bree! Just fucking run or you are going to die!"
Bree: "But P.Monkey needs his sunglasses and he has to change, he can't go dress like this!"
Daniel: "Listen! If they don't kill you I will!"
Bree: "OK! OK! But I have to say it was Thor's idea.. "

Like.. OK, Bree is the main character and the heart of the story.. Everything moves around her.. But try to keep her in all shots at any cost is like saying always the same joke.. Eventually is no fun anymore, actually it becomes annoying.

I'd like to see a calmed Daniel.. Thoughtful.. A man that shows feelings of an almost human nature.. But still holds his nerves.. Somehow it makes sense to me that should be Bree who goes emo, who cries and fears and losses her nerves.. And Daniel the one who balances the situation and offers reassurance and protection.

Instead when Bree losses (Maybe was taken from her) her room key and they find out their money is gone and their belongings all over the place.. So you know what happened with the room key - mystery solved.. Daniel having a week paid in advance still goes paranoid and hits the road.. Well.. If it were the cult you think they either would have waited for them inside the room or they would have put some tracking device in their bags to know where to find them.

But.. OK.. I agree that living with a very grown up 5 year-old girl in a threatening situation would drive me nuts too.. I would probably had runned out of patience a long time ago.. So that's still reasonable to me.. A little too aggressive on Daniel's side.. But ok.. They are meant to be humans.

Now.. You may think I'm being unfair.. But.. Of all the reasons they had to go back.. Has it really to be because they have no more money?

Is just me or is it a recurring subject this thing about running out of money?
