Who Sees What... The Absurd Version. I thought it was silly when the did not designate a viewer POV. Now they designate one and it STILL makes no sense... How could you attempt to run an ARG when you can't even get this kind of thing down pat. Just ridiculous... Oh, I guess common sense is not in the budget but they are working on it and it is sure to happen in the near future  . |

All we need is a one armed killer. Oh, important news! I accidentally came across what they based the Watchers on! The premise is that the Watchers are meant to oversee operations, making sure no one breaks the rules. They carry tattoos on their inner wrists of a symbol to denote their status. Now and then a Watcher will go renegade and try to interfere forcefully to create order of the current events. Here is where I found that......Highlander: Endgame!  Ok ok so they more than likely did not base them on that film, but it is so nerdy I really want to believe they did. That is my prayer. |

The Paris Meridian turns up in Dan Brown's bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code, where it is referred to as the "Rose Line" and presented as "the world's first prime meridian"
I hope this is not where they are going with this, there have been other similarities with The Da Vinci Code.

Oi! I liked me some masochistic albino monk. The pain scenes were quite riveting.

You know, LG15 is beginning to be like Chinese water torture. Or Chinese whispers... It seems they started out with a story that made a fair amount of sense, and now it is all mashed up with several parts missing - hey, they even have the purple monkey part of it! All we need now is a dishwasher  Also I agree with your idea of wrapping up this "on the run" crap, and starting fresh with a well thought out storyline. |

Regarding converging meridians, it is probably meaningless but converging leylines are traditional places of power and sacrifice in some cases. White lines (dragon lines in Welsh lore) are believed to embody the workers with more power and a channel to the other realms. There is one black leyline in Yorkshire that is close to the Swastika stone and magicians sought to reverse it and turn it black so it could tap into demonic realms and energy as opposed to 'angelic'. Reversal is traditionally done by causing intense suffering on the spot. Some dimwits recently (October last year) attempted ongoing sacrifices to this end. Animals that is.
Much the same method is used if one wishes to force an elemental into being.
Ufo sightings and fae lights along with black shucks are said to be linked to these grids.
Random tidbit of no use whatsoever.

Hyemew....you said "...And by getting I mean got a long time ago." no kidding...but then...we keep coming back for more...why? I dunno...For me, it's kinda like playing scratch off lottery games...or no wait...there is a classic line in Dumb and Dumber that fits quite well here in terms of hoping for an answer, a breakthrough, or something/anything significant...Drew Carey...asking the good looking girl what his chances of scoring with her are...she says one in a million..and he says..."So you're tellin' me there's a chance!"

My first association was also leylines, or more specifically the telluric currents, Umberto Eco uses in his 'Foucault's Pendulum'. Really, the c's just seem to mix and watch. A bit of an existing religion mixed with some more obscure esoteric material, laced with some heavy-handed doses of 21st century conspiracy theory vibes. Fact is though, they are on an entirely different planet than Eco, and still a couple of moons removed even from Dan Brown. This is spur of the moment esoteric pastiche. It is in and of itself completely meaningless, and only ever used for effect. While the video is ok enough and I still like the actors, I am starting to become completely disgusted by the soulless story-telling they are trying to short change onto us. Yawn guys, just yawn. All we need is a one armed killer. They are neither orginial or artistically talented enough to envision such a thing. I'll take a Little Man from Another Place chewing gum anytime over what I am being served here. |
