Summary
Bree is doing her own thing, so Jonas and I played some foosball and goofed around on the guitar. I've just been editing a lot lately... hope you guys like some of my new tricks.

Jonas was alright for me in this. Pretty funny and natural.

ha..."d-train". Well, Daniel saying that he isn't interested anymore kinda opens the door for Jonas, doesn't it? They took the long way, but it looks like where it's headed.

If Bree was doing "her own thing" then who filmed?

Edit: Don't worry, I remembered wrong lol. The first part is on a tripod

I don't want to get a certain Irish poster in a phrenzy, but the interaction between the guys is so much better than that involving Bree at this point. Flashy editing aside, they do project a much more realistic portrayal of two dudes hanging out on YT. I like the "Beast and Joan Us Show"!

I am not an actor, but it surely must be easier to act when you are just kinda playing who you are. It also must be very hard to do something that doesn't make any sense, this must be very difficult for all three of them. Jess seems to pull off all the strange character aberrations pretty well though. All the Cast seem smart enough to know how messy this thing is at this point, and it must be difficult to know how to play a scene if they don't know where the story is going. I am firmly convinced that M&M may have an "ending" in mind for the series but are just reacting to the phorum comments for the day to day eps.

Oh, and has Bree bailed again?

Slainte is drumming his fingers looking blankly here and there and quietly whistling the gay anthem "I'm Comin' Out!" (god bless you Dianna Ross).

Perhaps Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" is more appropriate given the dangerous life they are leading!...

This reminds me of Gilmore Girls season 6 to 7 transition (like our transitions from stage 6 to 7 of LG denial, or whatever you cann it)... season 6 Amy Sherman-Palladino, who claims to have the last scene of the last episode all scripted out, was having a lot of cracks show in her series. And this is with an end in mind. She had contract problems and left at the end of season 6, with Lorelai and Christopher in bed. The guy who picked up as head writer then had the daunting task of taking it from that extremely difficult place to something that makes sense and works with his view. It was a hard place he had been written into, and season 7 so far has been very underwhelming trying to work his way out of that, etc.
Except in this case, it was M&M who wrote themselves into this madness. I'm realize surprised they didn't see how difficult a situation and devoid from any sort of reality they were writing themselves into... it's just crazy.

Exactly. I think they kinda just let it get away from them. I can't imagine how they could possibly write themselves out of this hole at this point.

If they tried to, that would pretty much involve ceasing to drop the "clues" that the whacko phorumites go nuts for and concentrate on a cohesive story. This would enrage them and they would flood the phorum with complaints, and the c's would immediately retreat to "clue mode". Jay wrote a phorum post today that, again, tried to illustrate with numbers the low number of people who are involved in the phorum vs. YT subscribers. The point was lost on them. Sigh.

What's worse is that Miles is probably so Phorum Phocused himself that he can't see the phorest (sorry, I couldn't resist that one) for the trees.

It's just so frusterating. Keep with the story. THE CLUE PEOPLE ARE SUCH AN INSANELY SMALL MINORITY. At any given time there's no more than 20 registered people on the boards, I never see much more than that. That means what, 100 active posters at the most? I really don't see that many names there- not that I pay much attention anymore. Yet the videos still get a couple hundred thou views. Their true audience is NOT the zealots at the phorum but the normal people who watch.

I liked the investigating early on, when there was hope that the clues would be resolved. But now, we have a strange birthmark, a mysterious ceremony that may or may not have happened, a crowley shrine which may or not be relevant to the order that may or may not be religious, watchers that disappeared and who may or may not have intended harm to Breeniel, a friend/spy whatever that disappeared, a drug that may or may not be relevant to the ceremony, thousands of other girls who may be important, parents lost at sea who may be relevant, a dead notFather who seems to be cast away, iron pills that were forgotten, and so on endlessly. The only clues that seem to have truly resolved themselves are the mysterious dry-cleaner number and the CU SOON movies. I've been saying all along that the resolution is coming, but y'know.... I really don't know anymore.
They SHOULD be able to appease both the clue people and the vast majority of viewers. But, since they can't, it has to be about the story. Someone had discussed (can't remember if it was here or over there) engaging characters with no plot vs. trite characters with an action packed plot. It seems to me, they've tried both of those scenarios, and have chosen a hybrid of them. Poor characters, no plot. Bree is infuriating to me these days. She's not even everyteen, she's a bona fide bitch, a Bree-atch.

They definitely need to drop the clue dropping. Frankly it's just awash in a sea of confusion. Concentrate on the real story. They lost all street cred when they dropped 1000 clues about Thelema, and then got worried about offending people (which I must admit was likely to happen, they were treading on thin ice), and declared through Gemma IT'S NOT THELEMA. Ok so then what were the hints for 1000 years about? It's a secret order that just LOVES Thelema and has all it's clues about it but is conveniently not actually in existence as to not offend anyone? Right then and there the clue-digging became useless, because 1. if the Order is not based on anything in reality, then what is there left to discover? You can't compare it to anything and 2. you have to throw out the first 50 episodes of clues, because they WERE all pointed to Thelema, but due to complaints that was being changed.

The only thing I was really interested in investigating was who LG15 was, and I'm sure that's the case for most people. I really didn't care what her religion was to begin with except in relation to who LG15 really was.
