Confrontationwww.lonelygirl15.com/?p=224or one.revver.com/watch/227710Description:I decided to talk to Alex directly. I'm sick of sitting around. - Bree Faction: THE RESISTANCE Status: PUBLIC VIDEO TAAG set her damn straight. Huh. EDIT - To remove spoiler-ish comment and add revver link. EDIT2 - I can't see this thread on the Videos list... weird. EDIT3 - Re:Elixir's explanation about why the thread isn't at the top. "Pinned stuck"? Was that something I was supposed to do when I started it? Sorry, I'm new at forum-ing.

I'm going to use my suspension of disbelief and choose to believe that I never saw this video.

I can't see this thread in the videos list either... it is weird...
*Shrugs and watches video anyway*
ETA: It's at the bottom of page 6. It hasn't been pinned stuck yet.

When Bree was yelling "Shut up!" I just wanted to tell her to do the same, lol. I understand the character motivation of anger, but they should have also have been motivated by curiosity and at least heard what Alex had to say. And now there is a superman running after them? What the!?
DB breaks in again?!!! *Bangs head against the wall.*
And where was Jonas? Don't tell me he was off getting another fish taco....
This could have (well, should have) been so much better.

I'm going to use my suspension of disbelief and choose to believe that I never saw this video.  I had a similar reaction, I couldn't watch it all at once, I had to keep stopping it because the cringe factor was too much for me to deal with. They follow up a video which was fairly enjoyable with this? They irked me with the "free will" thing too, that was something the forum came up with to fill in the hole in the plot of why the Order didn't just grab Bree when they had the chance, and now they have written it in to the script. |

This is from the LG15 forum Starryeyedgirl09 asked "So, I have kinda been slacking when it comes to how much I've been lurking around the forum, but what the heck is Bree talking about when she says "people are saying that he (the man that came after them), takes some kind of drugs that makes him smarter or stronger than us, and he doesn't need to sleep as much as we do"  Did I miss something? I am SO confused!" Lurker answered "It's from discussion with Bree and Daniel in their sections of the forum here ("Bree Chat" and "Beast Chat"). They talk to us in there now (it just started a few days ago)." So now we have to read the Bree and Daniel chat thread to understand what they are talking about in the videos? |

(Note re stickies: unless a thread is stickied - which i think only mods can do - its at the bottom of a board. that's becomes a problem on the video board if a mod doesn't catch it for a bit, but once stickied it also keeps ALL the videos in chronological order which i think is much preferrred over the phorum method.) ---- Ok, just watched it. blechh. So now we have to read the Bree and Daniel chat thread to understand what they are talking about in the videos? oh, no, i hope not. the phorum only has (at most) 400 active people, though i will admit it may have more lurkers. when i heard bree's references to the drug that the orderite takes, i said 'where the hell is this coming from?' trying to keep up with bree and daniel's forum chat threads before watching each video is not how i want to experience the story. it's worse than the debate of whether you had to watch all the opaphid videos a few months ago -- there was that video where jonas had that video of gemma, and anyone who didn't watch the related tachyon videos had no idea where the hell he got the footage from. |

I have long been a champion of them ramping up the "interactive" elements of the phorum, e.g. the in-character message boards. BUT making it required reading is just silly and will do nothing to entice the casual YT viewer. Just poor planning. I admit, I did not follow most of this video. Don't know if it was just the above stuff revealed in the phorum threads or what. What is going on . Am I to assume that the person who kidnapped and drugged the trio was OpA and not part of the regulation "Order" (of which Alex is a member)? Confused...  |

<----Ooooh, lookie I got a star! When Bree was yelling "Shut up!" I just wanted to tell her to do the same, lol. I understand the character motivation of anger, but they should have also have been motivated by curiosity and at least heard what Alex had to say. Gah, that bugged me too! Lol, it was like when your little sister talks over the tv and you're like "nooo, that was an important line!" At first I was so confused that Alex was that surprised to see him... then I thought "oh wait Bree came in through the front door". Daniel is teh sketchiness. I had a similar reaction, I couldn't watch it all at once, I had to keep stopping it because the cringe factor was too much for me to deal with. Wow... that is bad. I didn't like this video, but it's still miles above ANY of those Order blogs we got last week. Maybe the whole point of them was to lower our expectations so we'd think this stuff was good. I guess it had some kind of effect on me.  Confused... This is another one for the "First" thread.  Like when people waste entire forum posts to say "Confused...", "Huh?", or the very eloquent "No, your wrong." ETA:I wasn't implying you ever do that CG! Obviously I took that excerpt from a full-bodied post. Just making sure! Anyway, here's the thread where DB discussed the drugs at the forum. He was planting clues big-time. Thread.Some highlights include: DB: We must've been drugged... how else could any of this have happened? I'm still getting these weird flashes every so often. I kinda remember catching glimpses of some packages back in that room we were in... modaf-something, dextroamph-something... I think I saw some bottles and syringes. Anyone know what this stuff is? There is just something hilarious about the clarity with which he remembers the first half of all these names! The forumites diligently researched and said the drugs were stimulants, so that's not what DBJ had been given. Apo suggested that the dude was using them. DB:But that's the thing - we weren't awake. Not at all. I don't think those are the drugs we took. I keep having these flashes of things... I'm still just trying to make sense of them. I think there was some other drug I saw - thiop.. something or other. This is SO frustrating I wish I could remember more. With that brilliant "thiop" lead they figured out what the drug was. Other revelations include that the guy who chased them in the desert was like huge-wrestler built, and not in Watcher uniform. The guy who shot him though, was dressed like a Watcher. Yep, this is incredibly disorienting to anyone who was not following the in-character threads. Thank you for explaining the stickies, Milo! |

you guys...c'mon...this was a great one! Bree and Daniel and auntie are confronting their issues in a group therapy environment. I think there were alot of feelings being released in this one. Group counseling is sometimes a long process so don't expect a breakthrough at the very first session
I'm not sure who was holding the camera at the end. It might have been auntie but I am hooping it was Joan because I hate to think he was missing this important part of the gangs emotional growth and spiritual healing.
I think that in future videos Joan and Daniel will finally come to terms with their substance abuse issues and embrace in the loving way they have wanted to for so very long.
With luck auntie will come to terms with her lust young boys that is a clear manifestation of her inability to deal rationally with the natural aging process.
Bree, freed from her inhibitions in this new truth based environment will ultimately decide that it is time to make a commitment to radical feminism and liberate herself from the socio-sexual mores that have have been used by men for centuries to oppress women throughout the world. She will from now DEMAND orgasm as a civil right, guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. Energized by her new socio-Eco-political agenda she will tour the country lecturing in the dangers and the insidious nature of male chauvinism. At least until she meets a nice young lawyer or perhaps an accountant (doctors are too busy) settles down in a nice neighborhood, buys a minivan to shuttle the kids to soccer practice, joins the bridge club and chairs the neighborhood beautification committee and leads a crackdown on people not picking up their dogs pooh.
ahhh but that is another story altogether isn't it?

Hmm, I wonder if Miles wrote that one?! Haha, to him dextroamph-something might appear clear, not to 99.9% of the population with absolute no medical knowledge though.

Interesting video. I almost felt bad for Auntie Alex.
It took me... significantly longer to realize why she was so shocked to see Daniel coming in. Actually... until I read this thread, lmao.
That proves it.... y'all are smarter than me. XD
