...they're still in the office? Yea right. I may be calling this far too soon, but I feel like KM has jumped the shark.

Awww, that was a sweet one. I hope someone realizes that this could be the basis of a show on its own, they don't really need the Order or any of the ARG elements. Sure it doesn't sound as impressive to the press, but it would likely be the better show. Will things like ARGs and live integrated with pre-recorded footage become the future of entertainment - I have no idea, but I do know that it is very hard to get an audience to accept anything that is new. I think they are trying to rush this medium, people aren't even really watching passive shows online at this point, to try and get them to immediately embrace interactive ones sounds good, but I'm not sure if it will work out.
Rarely is it good to be ahead of your time in entertainment. I think they should scale back and wait for the general public to catch up before they go steaming ahead with the future.

I'd love to see them get rid of the LG15/Order baggage. There's potential here and the whole Kate-in-danger, HOH thing is bogging it down. Kate is such a dramatic pill I don't care what happens to her but I am interested in Charlie, Gavin, Tariq and even Steve...after his video. Maybe they should just kill Kate now and get it over with.

Maybe they should just kill Kate now and get it over with. I also find her the least engaging of all the characters, the Polar opposite of the cast on LG. I doubt that this is the intent the c's had in mind, or are we just seeing differences in the production staff? Not sure it's the actress, the character herself is really not someone I empathize with or particularly "like". On a totally gut level, Charlie is much Hawwwwter and more likable than Kate and all the rest of them seem to be more than comic book style characters. I think they need to spend more time fleshing out the Kate character instead of throwing her into mortal danger right off the bat. |

Yeah, unlike Bree, there's really been no time spent getting to know Kate. It started off okay, a pretty girl who likes to make videos, has strange dreams and a close group of friends. But pretty soon after that she's all about random drama, first she tells us she's changed her name, then she's having memory blackouts and stepping out on her nice boyfriend with an oddball she met at the bookstore.
If she was my friend I'd seriously question whether or not she's making all this stuff up to get attention and distance myself from her as quickly as possible. The whole OMG "something's happened to Kate" was way too much too soon.
Hopefully they'll take a deep breath and let Kate just be Kate for awhile.
