"I don't even care that much that LG has become really really bad. I like a lot of really bad stuff"
So, if Gemma is official, the guys photographing her are official. But if the guys photographing her aren't official, then Gemma can't be official. So what's with the artificial distinction? I'm getting to the point where it's not that the series is bad, it's just not making a lot of sense any more, if it ever did.

Huh. Gemma and the guys photographing her are both official. It's just the guys photographing her (it's Opaphid right? I don't really watch opaphid..) aren't meant to have any major impact on the main LG15 storyline. I quite like the way this video was done. In ways it seems kind of fake, but LG15 needed some more action or it would've gotten boring with always doing the same old things. I'm just getting annoyed cos I want to know who was shot  |

Welcome back taig. Dr. Bread was a lame attempt to combine: Dr. and Bree and Dad. Fizzled miserably though. Let's just wait and see how they explain this vids latest entry into reality distortion land. Maybe the next vid will provide a somewhat reasonable explanation of what happened... It's getting to the point where suspension of disbelief means checking any kind of rational thought process at the door. As for the Op/Tachy stuff: see my comments on the Brother vid. Resistance appears to be futile. FYI: Brother dated Gemma at some point evidently. And what about P. Monkey ! |

These guys keep changing the rules midstream and I'm supposed to know--what, psychically--that someone who was officially fanfic is now canon? This whole blurring of reality and illusion is getting a little old. Just tell the story.... |

Easy folks. Yes, it is REALLY confusing... Even the die hard phorumites, including the ARG folks, don't know what happened...Fanwanking is running rampant, and no sign of a sensible explanation is in sight. Danger Will Robinson!
Let's just see where this goes. Probably around in circles again, but who knows....

There was an announcement by the LG15 creators saying it's now the official ARG, it was originally a fan creation though. About 'just telling the story'... The whole blurring of reality and illusion is probably the main appeal of LG15. Truly if the story of LG15 was told through a regular tv series or a book and didn't make use of the video blogging concept then it would be no where near as popular. I'm just trying to point things out  . Sorry I don't mean anything personally. Anyway, I can't wait for the next video to clear up what happened... |

There was an announcement by the LG15 creators saying it's now the official ARG, it was originally a fan creation though. this all illustrates that the creators need to remember that only a small portion of their viewing audience reads the official forum (or lgpedia), and if they do, its not like all the key stuff is easy to find there. we should prepare a LG15 FAQ, because i'm sure lordbalto is not alone in scratching his head over these things. hell, i certainly don't know what is going on with the ARG stuff either. ----- before watching the key action of this vid in slow mo (frame by frame after download with quicktime), i really had no clue what was going on. at least you can see bree running to daniel, and daniel & jonas take off with bree - but bree's dad is taken off by lucy. you can also see when they leave the garage a "westfield" flag on the lightpoles, as they must have filmed this at Westfield mall in LA: westfield.com/centurycity/ |

Hell yes we really need a LG15 FAQ!! ;D. Personally it would help me out heaps as well, there's most likely heaps I'm missing. Two of my friends watch the LG15 videos but they don't read the forums or anything so they keep asking me to explain things...  . There's so many small bits of the story that someone would never know unless they've been actively following with the forums and chat etc. There really needs to be a FAQ here. I'll help contribute anything I can  |

This was action filled and the music was really well chosen for the scenes. I feel that this was something fans were demanding: action and plot advancement. The method of getting there is in question and I can understand why. The consistency issue is hard for logical thinkers because we expect the story to be told in the same fashion and same method. Changes in the basic ways of showing us new information is disorienting. We are trying to make sense of something that was done randomly, and there isn't a lot of logic in randomness.
I liked the drama and the action because finally something "happened". By indirectly introducing a narrator by doing a video that would be hard to assign to anyone's individual video, the creators are now dancing a line that I think they will cross more and more often....making this more into a "film" production than a video blog style and method.

Well it's been uploaded finally and is technically a "Bree" video, though obviously that was done to reach the most people (I agree with that move. In spirit though it's a Daniel video with Jonas holding the camera at times.) Yousef has stated this is his favorite episode (to me).
