Word Slainte...good post.
Soooo, Nikki Bower is the one that came up with the eye in the first place? Could the eye be inspired by the birthmark? The eye sorta looks like a few other things, but if it was based on a birthmark then it would make sense that it was different than the eye of providence or whatever. That would mean someone would have to have seen the comments on the phorum about it, and then fed Nikki Bower the image.
Seriously, I welcome them to include the birthmark in the story. It might actually explain why Bree is "the ONE" or whatever. Because we haven't been given any solid reasoning otherwise.

OK, i think we need to some more old fashioned plot sleuthing on this board. anybody agree? the longitude thing has always bothered me for instance (enough to inspire my trip to adak). i get torn between thinking there is something we are missing and it all being nothing. it reminds me of the "what did dad and daniel talk about" controversy, what a letdown when it was just about whether he'd tape the summer camp play.

OK, on the radio show tonight, jessica was a guest, and the issue of bree's bathing suit in the swimming video came up. jessica mentioned how they decided she'd need a conservative bathing suit, but mesh said, it did need to go low "to show her scar"
so, it sounds like the watcher symbol was really planted?
we 1st discussed the symbol at the time the swimming video came out at the old phorum, but without any point of reference (and with the grainy youtube quality), we just saw a weird birthmark.
the 1st concrete post that it might be a weird symbol instead of just a birthmark first arose at the phorum on sept 10 (the new phorum), by a brand new poster (1 post only alltime) called "Snooper72" starting a thread for the Swimming video. Sept 10 was two days before the creators' identity was outed, so i think it quite likely that snooper72 was a plant intended to divert sleuthers away from the creators to plot-driven mysteries.
however, until gemma cited the watcher symbol in late november, the birthmark was still considered a weird birthmark. so, jessica's offhand comment tonight seemed quite revealing, as it suggests the watcher symbol was indeed planted on bree.

Weird. Did it sound like he was making a joke about it? I'm having a hard time believing that they had the watcher symbol planned since then. Also, does that mean it's a real scar or did they use make-up? If it's a real scar does that mean they created the symbol to match her scar? I tend to think they're just messing with us. ETA...oh yeah, what you said... hmmm. which came first? bree's weird birthmark which became the watcher symbol, or the watcher symbol was put on her back for the vid? if the latter, i'd better start studying longitude again or something, because i'm sure we've overlooked other clues.

Weird. Did it sound like he was making a joke about it? Jessica was the one relating the story, and she sounded completely serious. I have to think the scar was modified before they posted the video, but they wanted her swimsuit to be low cut enough in the back to show it. (the discussion starts at 21:45 in the rebroadcast)

As an aside: Jessica doesn't have a scar or birthmark on her back. And what was placed there wasn't the Watcher symbol. For more on this (to date) red herring, see my never-to-be-published "tell all." LOL.
But the main thing I wanted to say is:
HOLY CHRIST! HAS IT REALLY BEEN A YEAR? WHAT IN THE HELL ARE WE DOING WITH OUR LIVES?
Sorry. That just came out... Anyhow. Hard to believe that it's been a year since this very influential/inspirational video hit YouTube.
I doubt that any other LG15 video will ever have this much of an impact on "user generated content" ever again.

I agree Glenn and Hye. This is still one of my favourite episodes. Even if most, if not all, of what what was hinted at in the video never actually happened, it still is a pivotal moment in the Breeniverse that certainly did inspire a lot of people. And the first CiW video that came out, and then all the fans going to get the drop and filming it was one of the coolest YT moments to date. We still haven't even seen Cassie. I know that she is the 'fans' character,' but it's still annoying. I wonder if 'Sam' is going to be the new Cassie that we never get to see. I know what you mean Glenn, the whole 'has it really been a year?!' thing. It's scary. During the finale, yes I was sad that Bree was dead but, and I am telling the honest truth, that was nothing compared to the way I felt when I started to think about how I've spent a lot of time over the past year on this show, and then the end we got was it, you know? Like, it was reduced to that. Nothing more, nothing less. I thought back to all these leads and the potential of this show and I felt like I'd wasted so much time. Anyway, I loved the way people analysed everything about these videos. Now not even the phorumites can be bothered with the thinly-veiled pseudo-interaction.

Top video this one. The main reason being that it includes the bestest line ever in LG15.
Where even are we?

Update: Views: 1,184,642 Comments: 2,646 Favorited: 959 times Old comments: Terryfic The principal photograph on this one was a little creepy for me, a little too voyeuristic. We are out of the water watching a girl swim in the water, being made to identify with Daniel. It was a very unfeminist's video with a strong 'male gaze' fell to it, due to all the tracking shots across her body and the music was kinda cheesy too. I'm glad she didn't wear a revealing swimsuit as that would have put this over top and starting to approach pornography. Tvproducing OMG, it's not professional at all man. It's very crude. The only people who say these things are professional are the people who know NOTHING about video editing. Damn... BTW, it looks like these guys are along the Continental Divide due to the vegetation and extensive outcrop of Granite. So just a guess it could be around Utah or Cali. TheHill88 oooooooooooooooooo...who is Cassie? Lol. She's free - she's been let out into the wild - harray! Roam free deary! Great vid Dan! ChannelReviews First off, no way would kids their age, make videos that good. You look at all the great filmmakers and most were in their mid 20s before they made anything of quality. I'm defenitely in the opinion this is faked, just to what purpose I don't know yet. I shot a review of her channel talking about this and what I think of the whole "drama". Click on my username and check it out. I'm going to do a review of Brookers next. Milowentwell done video. new story arc beginning here with cassie. will it turn out that daniel dated cassie or something? bree gets jealous and realizes she likes daniel. DRAMA ensues. vegasrob28 How much longer before this turns into porn? HyeMew You see where it cuts off at the end with Bree in mid-sentence vegasrob28? That's where it turns into porn. LOL, Hye. Little did we know it really would turn into porn almost a year later...The newest comments are pretty much only about it being fake, and that she should have worn a two piece bathing suit.

Did anyone figure out what creek they were at? I looked up a few things. I think it might me San Gabriel River East Fork. If you look up San Gabriel East Fork. You can find a few picures with the same plants in the walk and the rocks along the water look the same. Oh, I was reading all the excerpts from this forum on the Lg15today blog this week about Cassie, and then I read this thread and found this old comment. (If this "quote" thing works correctly.) Now according to my math, and granted, its not the New Math, this person "whatisgoingon" correctly identified the location where this video was filmed a few days prior to the appearance of the Cassie spin-off.

Since we're commeting about Cassie, let me just say that as the open source character I didn't want her mentioned... at all. I wanted them to be mums on mysterious Cassie as possible. I wanted her to remain a mysterious ghost and to definitely NEVER be seen on camera. She obviously almost definitely never will be, but I'm sorry Glenn when I say that you bringing the Cassie storyline full circle with the whole prank call thing made me kind of sad because she was actually being acknowledged again and I prefer her as a total nothing.

I would have liked to have seen really vague comments about her every now and again that would make us think different things about her, like Bree would have said something and we would think she was just an ordinary girl, but then just throw something weird or creepy in there for good measure. I would have liked to have seen more of this with Bree's character too, and with her religion. I didn't ever really want, or need to see Cassie, but I wanted to know how she fit into the puzzle. I wanted to put all of the elements of the first pre-fake ceremony episodes together to discover something. They didn't need to give it all away, but bit by bit they could have given some resolutions.
I guess Cassie was the epitome of the first "puzzle" (that we have since found out was just supposed to be filled with red herrings and then disappear), but they abandoned it when they made Bree do the fake ceremony, and everything after this happened has been rather shallow with no real substance in my opinion.
I suppose to me, the biggest downfall of LG has been that story arcs are completed way to quickly when they could be drawn out - ie. Jonas being tied up, etc etc etc, and then the biggest one - the ceremony - was drawn out way too much. And with both types of arcs, we always seem to have an anti-climax. Very little is ever resolved before we are, oh lets say - on the run again. And in addition to this, it is the character development that has really let me down. The characters are inconsistent, and often just adhere to stereotypes. I would like to see them reflect more often. It just doesn't happen enough. It's almost like the actors play different characters for each new video.
