The Cowboy [02.02.07]

[morninglory]

Did anyone catch the heart written in the condensation on the window, at the very beginning? I like the video just cause of that. haha..It's cute. I like to think of it as a message to all of us who are used to inspecting every inch of the video for clues in the background.

(or it's not a heart on purpose, andddd I'm over-reaching.)

A character simply known as "Cowboy?"....sounds like Mulholland Dr. to me.

If this turns into a David Lynch style project, there may be hope for it keeping my interest. I know a certain Twin Peaks fan here whose interest would be raised as well. But I doubt they are headed in that direction.

The storyline is sufficiently bizarre, but unlike a Lynch film, they've managed to avoid making it compelling. Part of the problem is the low budget, which forces them to tell rather than show us what happens a lot of the time. The other problem is it seems like either they focus on developing the characters, and nothing in the plot happens, or they focus on the plot, and the characters turn to cardboard, delivering boring, stilted dialogue that's just exposition.

It's a juggling act that wouldn't be too hard, but they've added all these other concerns: a so-called ARG, a marketing business on the side, pitching other ideas for shows (I think), organizing product placement, the American Idol guest appearance, the commercials with Carmen Electra, doing press, and don't forget reading the phorum, and probably other things we don't even know about. I'm sympathetic to the creators with all this crap they got going on. It's got to be exhausting, and it's a wonder the videos even occasionally contain something amusing. But as a viewer, I still just want to be entertained, and they're losing me again.

Now you will see me one more time, if you do good. You will see me, two more times, if you do bad.

A certain poster, who shall remain nameless, has suggested that this heart was drawn by Joan Us in honor of his love for the missing DB. This poster is indeed a true phanatic with a twisted agenda... Shameless Jackal!

[trash180]

someone with a heart on for Daniel?

interesting little love triangle, eh?

D's gone, oh I, oh I, oh I
I'd better learn how to face it
D's gone oh I, oh I, oh I
I'd pay the devil to replace him
D's gone, oh I, what went wrong?

Oh...also Wiki says that cowboys are generally animal herders. Perhaps this cowboy herds people for the Order?

Yay for the Cowboy! Mulland Dr. was my first association when I saw the title of the episode. I just can't understand how they actually manage to make every new episode so predictable and uninteresting.

I mean these days, there's all these itty-bitty micro-clues and meandering allusions.

I catch myself now only watching about every third episode or so, sometimes catching up. but mostly not being rewarded for doing so.

Seriously, at this point, LG15 has devolved into pure randomness. If they could only write one or two lines of dialogue as tentalisingly menacing as Lynch's Cowboy I'd be back on top of this thing.

Go watch INLAND EMPIRE y'all

-One interesting thought that I don't think anyone brought up-- keeping with the absurd strain: What if when Jonas went into the van he was caught and the Order sent back out a Jonas CLONE they had made?!

OMFG!! Hyemew, you're a genius. I bet they also replaced bree with a clone on the day her notDad died. It all makes sense.

It also occurs to me, that whatever bree is- those injections weren't Epogen, they were Teenage Behavior Replication Serum. (her peers back home are often heard saying TBR me ASAP) She started partying with danny boy when she was getting injections, and then got all catty again after meeting her dad (who snuck in an injection on the Overlord's orders)

I totally already said the Bree-clone thing first! *shakes fist*

[lesbrent]

Hated it. B O R I N G

Totally setting up Bree and Jonas as a couple too.

Don't worry, nobody listens to me anyway.
I grovel at the feet of your infinite wisdom. Please forgive me.

[trash180]

I totally listen to you h.o.m.

anybody catch this? If you look really close you can see a secret message.


maybe this is all headed in a more interesting direction than we thought? I mean Jonus couldn't even sleep in the same bed as Bree! She was down...I could tell she was down for whatever...not Jonus though. He just can't get his mind off the D.

[hookedonmonics]

thanks trash, except your avatar has me blinking in confusion. give me a moment...

Ok, but, the thing is- you'd think that Jonas would have no trouble sleeping next to Bree if his heart was truly daniel's (by the way, there's a puppet theater in Minneapolis called Heart of the Beast. maybe it's a drop. I think I'll head out there right now, even though we're dealing with wind chills of about -30F). He wouldn't have all that sexual tension to deal with. Unless, of course, that trollup couldn't keep her grubby paws off the J-man.



By the way guys, thanks for the Karma. I've been wallowing in the shadow of my really crappy day on thursday, and having an "everybody hates me" pity party, so it was nice to see that not everybody hates me.

Why make such a big deal about looking in the van, and nearly getting caught if there isn't anything in there? Seems to me like the creators weren't creative enough, or else bottled the original plan...
