Ep59 Web Girl [05.29.07]

Web girl

Two big cameos in this one:

First, the shady photographer is played by Chris Hampel. Hampel is one of the show's writers and directors.

Second, the shady guy at the end is Forrester! I remember in an earlier thread we saw that Forrester was mentioned as a member of the cast, but we thought it was a mistake because Forrester was in Sam7.

Actually, it wasn't a mistake. Forrester is a crossover character!

For those who missed Sam (and you have only yourself to blame because I told you to watch), Forrester was the behind-the-scenes bad guy. Vera worked for him, but hated what she did so much that she ran away. And it appears that Forrester was somehow responsible for Sam's death.

To have him show up around Courtney is a bad omen indeed.

This was a well done episode. I really felt for poor Courtney. And the mention of Courtney's dad, seeing Forrester... it really has me guessing as to how this is all going to turn out. My guess is that Courtney's dad was somehow in debt to these people. But anyway, I love guessing - and knowing that I will have answers soon, unlike another show... hehehe.

whoa, forrester! cool surprise.

would one of these bad guys have any reason to be the people txt msging ben? i can't see any obvious connection.

Crossover character? Wow...well, now there's a few more people involved.

What's up with her dad? Another mystery. Some sort of extortion? Her mom is dead. She made a video for her in the cemetary. Her other supplemental videos have her going on about how trapped she feels. Great blogs. Super believable.

There's over 50 supplemental videos on myspace now. Interesting stuff.

I tried to go back to watch Sam after promqueen started, but the videos were down. Sad. It says coming soon. Maybe it'll reappear post-PQ?

As I recall, they disappeared around the time that it was announced that Eisner had purchased the rights to the show. Eisner has the ability to redistribute Season 1 and he also has the option to produce (or not) a second season.

I hope Season 1 is re-released and a Season 2 is produced!

maybe one of those guys is Lauren's dad. and she knows about his work. and courtney. The way photographer threatened courtney is reminiscent of the way texter threatened ben/courtney.
