ApotheosisAZ, newer phorum mod, started a thread this morning noting the existence of a strange response video from "dehteraew". Actually there are two videos from this account already. the 2nd was posted as a response to Rescuing Daniel. phorum thread: www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6383find videos here: one.revver.com/account/show/dehteraewthese are very well produced videos, very ARGy. STRONG scent of canon powder everywhere. its almost like its the anti order crew that bree can join - very timely after the last video. (or maybe this is the order, who the hell knows) the 1st video starts with an audio excerpt from a lordgreystoke422 video uring bree not to do the ceremony. i doubt someone unrelated to the creators trying to do their own fanfic would give LG422 such a shoutout like that. "dehteraew" is an anagram for weathered, probably for other things too ... EDIT TO ADD: youtube channel: www.youtube.com/profile?user=dehteraewthere is one additional video on youtube "brinksmanship" (posted feb 6) which includes lordgreystoke422 in its tags. |

The very first one deht subscribed to was lg422, then gemma, then Bree Tachyon OpAphid, warpylol (? it only has one stupid 1 second video, but is subscribed itself to all LG things), Brother, Jonas, tigerlilylynn, Danielbeast, WatchingOpAphid, subpoprecords, and... TJMarsh (aka iris.....................)
1. I am very disturbed by the uses of LG422- seeing as he personally just attacked me yesterday over on lgpedia I'm now an unabashed non-fan of his.
Brinksmanship is an idiotic episode, the noise in the background is so hard to listen to it grates.
Interesting how Tracking is a response to his ice cream episode, as we know Glenn seems to be a fan of LG's ice cream references. At 1:25 into it I don't see anything overly canony. While it certainly has pretty good camera resolution, what they did with this is nothing someone with videomaking experience and the "speed up" button couldn't have done.
I also find the constant use of the same song through both videos is kind of uncharacteristic for canon videos, but then again if Glenn is behind this he does use the same Tachyon song every time so everything's different when he's involved.
Clues: In Tracking we see a sign saying "500 Barstow" with no leaves on the tree next to it. That's indicative of it NOT being in SoCal. A search of the address prominently brings up one such address in Eau Claire, WI, which would work with the no leaves on trees.
However episode Return offers up many more clues which point elsewhere.
At one point you can see on the sign the name Herb Bauer. There only appears to be one Herb Bauer store... it's motto is "THERE’S NO OTHER SPORTS STORE LIKE IT!!" after all. It's located at 6264 N Blackstone Ave Fresno, CA 93710. Furthermore you see an Ingram Avenue sign towards the end of this video, there's an Ingram Avenue in Fresno. Finally, turns out there's also a 500 Barstow Avenue (from the previous episode) only a few blocks from Herb Bauer. Another sign pointing to this NOT being in LA is the high number of gun and hunting stores you see in it, I know Fresno is a much more rural city than LA and would be far more likely to have hunting stores like that.
So, once again we've tracked this video to California. However, we have to assume the people who made this video are FROM Fresno, because it really is out in the middle of nowhere. Presumably Glenn, though from Petaluma (2:30 hours north of Fresno), I assume he must live in LA since he films with Yousef and all that. Fresno is a good 3 hours from the Burbank area, so there's definitely no reason for him to go all the way from LA to Fresno just to video tape the street. Then again they were in a bit further north for the whole Cowboy series but I don't think they went all the way to Fresno and then filmed stuff for this while there. So in conclusion I don't see why this would be a canon video based on its location but I guess you never know. That said, I wouldn't suggest them adding ANOTHER canon account, I mean at this moment they are consolidating all canon videos into LG15's account, so for them to suddenly come up with a totally seperate canon account makes no sense.

Good find Milo. They certainly have the fell for the OpAphid videos down pretty well, and they do seem like much more work than most fan vids. It feels like they might be a new voice in the story and not an old one (ie Glenn behind another account) as the videos seem to progress as the author gets more of a feel for what their style is.
If these are located in a non-SoCal location, then Miles & Glenn should get in contact and see if this dude is serious and then bring him on board so the ARG can have drops with more varied geographical locations (I was kind of hoping there would be one in Fiji, that would have just been mean and hilarious).

Not another Canonian!!!!  We really have to get our thread categories up to date. Gemmers and Jonas have a lot of company. How about Canon Characters and Canon in Waiting? Anagram could be We're Death!FLWright |

Is there anything tieing these videos to the series other than the style? I can't make heads or tails of the meaning of these videos. It seems like fanfic to me.
edit to add: okay, I should've read the other thread first. So the idea is they are are assassins. And working for the bad guys.
I just wish we knew more background about the whole story. What the order is, what they do, what the ceremony is, why all of this matters. It would be so much more satisfying than just knowing there's good guys and bad guys. The audience is lucky if they even have names.

Next video in the sequence is 'Maneuvers' all I can get from this is confussion. Someone try and explain to me, please. The car park is the one Bree's dad was killed in?
Pleasantries is even more strange, I have no idea what is going on anymore?!?!

the common wisdom is now that these videos are fanfic (the creators tipped off hyemew).

too confusing for me. Too many stories/characters and this makes LOST look simple....
