Just wanted to post this comment from the forum I thought was poignant.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
by JustAnotherLonleyGirl,
I still don't know how I feel, other than really, really sad.
Is it pathetic that I was truly attached to this series and these characters?
I mean, I thought for a long time that in the end, Bree would die. She would sacrifice herself for the others. But the problem is that this wasn't the end.
I don't understand how I can go on watching this show the way I have. The Season 1 Recap really set the record straight for me: All along, everything we've put into this show, every string of hope we've held onto.... it's all been about Bree.
I know there are those of you that say you didn't like her. That you watched it for the others. But, how could you watch for the others and be on their side, when all along they were driven by one thing: Bree. Saving her.
I've been around a long time on these forums. Maybe I don't have the most posts on the forums, but I post when I have something to say. Maybe I've never received any direct acknowledgement from the Creators or the characters. I'm not in anyone's top 8, nor have I been thanked in a video for my solutions for a puzzle. But I've been there for every puzzle, trying to figure it out. I've analyzed and ripped apart every video, trying to find hints and themes. I've racked my brain out over the meaning of water, immortality, purity, feet, hair, and more for hours on end. I've sat in front of the computer and joked with my fellow fans. I've fought with people and been thoroughly annoyed by people on here. I've complained with people about boredom or disappointment. I've even shared my feelings with some of you regarding my family or friends. When I didn't know if my cousin was dead or alive, this is where I sat, and this is the screen at which I stared.
And now I truly feel like I've lost someone important to me. I know it's just a show. I know it isn't real, and I can see Jess again in Greek on Monday. But I can't see Bree again. Never. I feel like Bree never truly opened up to us. Like I've spent the past year trying to understand her, and gain her trust so we could feel what she felt, and understand what she thought. I feel like she contained all these secrets in her heart that are now lost forever. I feel like I'll never truly understand.
I suppose that's partly how the Creators wanted it. Perhaps because Jonas and Daniel will never be able to truly understand. Perhaps this "key to everything" is meant to suffice for our lack of understanding. But I doubt it will.
She didn't even know that she had the option of being trait negative. Why couldn't they bust that door open? Why couldn't they use the same knife Daniel stabbed the shadow with to threaten Lucy until she gave some answers? WHY COULDN'T BREE LIVE? I just feel like she should have been able to live. I don't see how there can be a season 2 now.
And of course, I'll keep watching. I kept watching through everything before. CiW was more compelling than LG15 in the beginning, but I kept watching without her. When Bree and Daniel were just on the run and homeless, everyone was bored and a lot of fans were lost, but I kept watching. When I was strongly opposed to Jonas entering the series, and he did, I kept watching. When I fell in love with the OpAphid ARG, and became truly attached to the people involved with it, and then it was lost over something seemingly meaningless, I kept watching. And that was really the worst blow of them all, thus far. But this? The death of Bree? I mean, the Bree I truly loved was lost months ago. After her dad died, we never saw her, truly, again. But there were short glimpses, here and there. And there was hope. There was faith.
Now it's gone. She's really, really done. I'm still in denial. I still think there will be a big twist, and she'll be alive. But even I know that this is really the end of the lonelygirl15. After an entire year of laughing and talking to these characters as if they were real, of connecting to a community of fans of all ages, of seeing the community change and fans come and go while I remained, all driven towards the rescue of Bree, she is gone. It's like we failed. It's like we were going to fail all along but we blindly hoped to win.
I've been a faithful lonelycracker for a year now, and I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms worse than any crackpot I've ever known.
Blah.
Love always,
Loretta AKA JALG

Someone stop me, I'm watching the early ones @_@ OK, I hereby order you to stop it. You'll just start crying again. I'm finding laundry, cleaning, and repeating the mantra on the left (which I think I stole from your boyfriend) to be excellent therapy. I did make my husband watch the recap and the 12 in 12 with me, so he'd know what I was carrying on about. I teared up a little again, but I was too embarrassed to really let loose. ETA: Rob, thanks for posting JALG's message.  |

slainte has probably already watched them, and is just messing with us.
slainte, if you haven't yet- don't. The stress you're causing people is well worth missing it. Just keep reminding us that you haven't, and wondering whether you should.

I wasn't "messing" with you guys - I think I was simply procrastinating, not really wanting to reach the end.
Suze: Of course I am not typing with my chin! That is just silly.
I typically type with my penis. It is an ancient Tibetan method that requires a great deal of concentration and many years of practice. It utilizes the entire organ and its "peripherals" in a variety of ways and in various states of "inflation" and deflation.
I first learned of it while traveling the East in search of enlghtenment. I am especially impressed with the way it centers ones chi. It enhances the writing process but it does take a toll in the form of typos. These keys are really teeny ya know.
It does have some drawbacks in that one tends to become rather verbose up to a certain point and then there is an overwhelming desire to
use
the enter
key
over
and
over
and
over
and then making ones point in a frenzied and sometimes urgent way.
I used the method while composing my resume and was rewarded with a number of job offers. Mostly at the circus.

OK, that one officially killed me, dead as Bree. Or collapsed in a sobbing heap like D & J. Though not as bloody. And sobbing with laughter.

I'm very very WTF about this whole thing. So much is wrong with this finale... so so much. I'm sorry creators... you did what you could with it. |

It's true. I have had some very stimulating conversations with him on msn. If I may be so bold I believe he is the only Priest of the Penii Pushing to successfully type out War and Peace with only minor sprains and bruising.
May the scrotum sanctify you.

To be honest, even while watching the entire ordeal I thought the dialogue was trite and in a lot of cases contrived. I was very disappointed by the almost complete lack of Bree. The phone call made me laugh more than anything. I thought the whole hour by hour timeline was ludicrous. Did they really just sit in that warehouse for an hour and a half before Nikki B arrived? How completely asinine is that? This whole thing could have easily been done in 5 or 6 episodes. If they had had more Bree in it to not only establish some closure but also to give the series even a little shining moment of its old appeal would have made this entire thing much more worth it.
I mean, come on. When I derive more joy out of relating TAAG to the Scooby gang and relishing that faux Daniel started saying, "Sarah set us up the bomb" after made that crack...well, it's just a typical day in the Breeniverse, I suppose.
