A Watcher [11.17.06]

[jayhenry]

I think you are being followed by a Watcher.

On YouTube

On Revver

On lonelygirl15.com

Edit: Order, Deacons and Watchers, oh my!

[milowent]

gemma really has it in for p. monkey. she trying to get p.monkey tasered or what? that simian is going to uncap a can of whoopass on her someday, and she'll be verrryyy sorry.
[EDIT: Yes, neem, the stuffed animal use and references on the recent vids are a real stretch.]

as for "the watcher", well what do they do? just watch?

here's the symbol of the evil coffetable gemma found:


EDIT: BUT WAIT!


What's that? This is from the Nikki Bower Report's 2nd vid, posted on NOVEMBER 5. I saw reference to it on the main vid thread. (Nikki Bowers is a so-called investigative reporter into LG15 with 3 vids now, and who until now was clearly thought to be fan-fic, at least by me. But she's also been suspected of having connections to the Creators, because she vehemently denied Yousef was fired.)

Who's copying who?

also, the reference to bodies in multiple locations may be a connection to lucy's google mapsfest?

P. Monkey is the Child of Wanker Cove. I'm with Gemma on this one. I appreciate Bree's childlike qualities, but I wish the stuffed animals hadn't gone into hiding with her.

Bree has a watcher now?

Into every generation a slayer is born...

[jayhenry]

Wow... Milo. Good find. Ughh... do we at least know if Nikki Bower is a real person?

bree WAS "the chosen one" for the ceremony, you know.

all i know is that the door of the grocery store opens for her.

Yes, that seems to be taken right from the NickkiBowerReport and the box she found quite a while ago. I'm really confused. I tried reading and watching this OpAphid and Tachyon videos and messages on the Phorum but it's like reading Russian.

Can anyone summerize what exactly all of those spin offs are doing. It's too whacked for me with hexidecimal code and reading things backwards and slowing down audio. No thanks. What is their basic premise? How is it related to Bree?

Do you think Miles and Mesh are watching the spin offs and then using what they can (i.e. the picture on Nickki's box) as a "fan interaction" nod?

Or do you think she is connected to the Creators?

I'm thinking it's a nod, not sure.

[lesbrent]

what about being a hopeless actress playing a journalist, and not working for M and M, but wants to be?



Can anyone summarize that Opahid thing-a-ma-jingie and what exactly has been "learned"?

[curiousgeorge]

My money is on Scenario #3, which would at least a nod to the fabled Fan Interaction. If so, good job.

Now, as for using P. Monkey's name at the library. I just spent a lot of time researching this kind of bizarre behavior and have come to some conclusions: Anyone who masquerades as a fictional simian character is obviously in dire need of psychological counseling and should be treated with extreme caution. She is obviously deranged and has issues with expressing her real identity. You have to be BREALLY careful with these simian masqueraders, especially on the internet!

Edit:

Ooops! Uhhhm.

Well, never mind that...

[trash180]

Well, the symbol works as a nod to "inneractivity" (and Nikki) and also as a nod to everyone's favorite secret society, the freemasons as it's sort of a ghetto version of the "eye of providence" which goes back to the eye of horus, etc.

Edit to add:
I just watched the Nikki vids. She mentions people emailing her suggestions as for where to look. Could it be that she was led there by one of the c's? That would be an interesting way to throw in some ARG elements, eh? Pick one person and have them go find a clue? Anyhoo...just an another possible angle.

More I think about it, it's probably just another example of the fan fic filtration process through Gemma.

[hyemew]

I feel there's something to Nikki. She's not directly controlled at least by the Creators, but being a fellow socal girl who was QUITE confident she was at all the areas filmed in the ceremony, I feel she has inside info. I mean sure people somehow are able to find every site in the videos, but she knew what happened where when all she had to go on were empty fields. I felt like she knows something, and this is a confirmation she's somehow involved.

Also a google of Nikki Bower at first really showed up nothing early one, one would think an aspiring journalist would have some sort of paper trail via google.

yay to Gemma for being less bree and less cheery. Like her or not, this is an improvement, no?

Not really.. Let me explain.. If you watch all of Gemma's chapters you'll see a compilation of different personalities.. It's like they got no clue about what they want this character to be.. So they keep testing variations.. The bitch, the angel, the little girl, the Vietnam veteran, the playfully teenager,etc..

It bothers me.. It gives me the impression of being the subject of a experiment.. Every time I watch a new Gemma's video I have this feeling of being completely lost again, facing a new character, having to learn a new role.. Hey you creators guys, Will you stop doing this?

I had to watch this last video like 3 time to make sure I didn't miss anything.. So rushed, so many cuts and changes of position, I found myself chasing Jackie all over the screen.. Now is there, Wait! She moved! Where is she? Oh she is at the other side of the screen, No wait! She is not there anymore! She moved again! Where is she now? She is.. No! She moved again! and again! Wait! Not again! Where to now? By the Holy all-mighty winged cow!! Stay put in one place!! Will ya??

You know what? I miss so much the Gemma from "Nut Kills Man".. Barely edited.. Just enough to make the point.. Fresh unrehearsed shots in real time showing a real girl with real feelings.. Insecure and fearful of that being caught by the camera.. You can even feel she is uncomfortable about making the 'nut kills man' movements in the camera.. Her face expression, the way she bites her lips, the noises she makes with her voice somewhere between moaning in protest and cheering herself up, the way she swings her chair back and forth while talking.. All those little things we all do that make us human.. I loved them!

If I had the chance to talk to Jackie I'd beg her to stop acting and start feeling.. Just to say whatever she is expected to say in the vid but doing it like she would talk to a friend if she were the real Gemma having a real Bree in her life.. Just sit in front of the camera and talk to us.. Acting is all about making the common things feel more real than they would if they were actually real.

If you had a dear friend in trouble and you were to talk to him through a camera.. Would you really smile and try to seduce the camera? Or would you show some feelings?

And by all means and in the name of good taste and common sense and maybe even the human rights (I should check but I'm sure they must say something about this.. They have to!): GET RID OF THOSE POSTERS! YUCK! :-(

Isn't anywhere else in the world where you can shot the vids?

You know.. Thinking about it what bothers me really is the wasted potential of this character.. And Jackie.. Is it really so hard to believe some people do not have to do anything to be pretty because they just are IT? I know it sounds like a Nike slogan.. But.. Just be!

(Goddammit!) -> NOTE: Pretend you didn't read this last comment

I think a reason that Gemma isn’t as enjoyable as Bree is because she has a different writer. Overall though I don’t mind Gemma, I’m willing to watch her vids if I have to, if they are important to the storyline. I am not willing to watch Nikki Bower’s, those are just, well, unwatchable. If she is what their third writing team has come up with, then they get a big F, and if I am going to be expected to watch her videos I think I might just give up on this show and focus more on WeHos. Damn that Eddie is a funny cat.

I haven't found any of the spin offs or indeed canons much fun. Both Gemmers and Nikki Bower are simply annoying.

The success of LG15 must rest falrly and squarely with Jess Rose. She was a dream casting for the role. Basically the series is about her and her character. I know some of you love to speculate or theorise on the various clues to the plot in different places. That's fine to have fun doing it, but I can't see that it leads anywhere.

Because, the writers seem happy to take it "wherever" with little regard to logic or previous "clues". All that speculation about Crowley and Thelema dashed when we were told it wasn't Thelema or indeed any religion. And I laugh at the speculation on the significance of longitude. Since every place has a longitude, it could anything or nothing.

For me, I'm just enjoying Jess Rose's performances and ignoring all of these other hanger-on sub characters.
