Allrighty then-- time to dive into the purely fictional world of Bree and Daniel. After chatting with a very nice person last night for about an hour or so, this is my take on one of the directions the plot may be going.
The person I was speaking with was of a mind that this new video may or may not suggest that Bree was being molested by her teacher. I tend to agree, when looking at it from certain angles.
Basically the summary of my 'theory' is this: A curious, purity-bound, religious girl goes to Highschool after being homeschooled her whole life, where she is taken advantage of by her Science teacher who interprets her interest in stars as an interest in him. Mental-Trauma causes Bree's personality to split into two, which is where "Cassie" would come from. While Bree is innocent, Cassie knows of the evils of the world. This is why "Cassie" would walk around the track with Bree, but why Daniel wouldn't know anything about who Cassie is. And then...?
A religious ceremony with sexual undertones that merges Cassie and Bree? Or just makes 'Cassie' come out and be angry?
Edit: The ceremony wouldn't be to 'fix' Bree, but whatever happens in the ceremony might cause Bree to 'remember', depending on what the ceremony consists of.
*wrinkles nose* I had this so well thought out last night, but my brain is totally dead.
Feel free to add and spectulate-- if this is not the plot then I totally know what I'm writing for NanoWrimo this year. Ha ha ha!

hey hey, thats a pretty theory, not sure if i can add much.
personaly i think it digresses from the nature of the videos too much. also why dont we ever see "cassie" in the vids. hmmm maybe they are just both crazy.
also i felt a chill up my spine when i read ur theory. creepy

Gerald: What I mean is, Cassie is not a real person, but a different personality trapped in Bree's mine, born from Trauma.
I don't think it's digressing too far from the nature of the videos, only because of the occultistic undertones, the vague references... it's leading up to something big.
Also, there was something annabanana said about the 'crew' feeling 'sick and dirty' after working on it ((though we cant say for sure she's telling the truth)) so it might be something along those lines.

If this is true, what is the significance of this important religion?

The religion will be the catalyst.
For what? Use your imagination. We won't know until we know.

So your saying that she is involved with this seemlingly dodgy religion, and that at the minute it plays no part?
I guess this is possible.
How would this 'ritual' bring together Cassie and Bree together? Surely no-one but Bree knows about her split personalty, at least her only friend Daniel doesn't. If she was invited to this ritual then someone must be aware of her problems?

You are looking at this too literally. I'm not saying the ritual is being held TO bring them together-- and who knows even what the ceremony is for.
The religion is important though because of the purity-bond and respect she has for her parents, and her religion-- and if she is very deeply rooted in them both, something like sexual molestation would cause something like a split personality or suppressed memories to happen.

Sorry when you said a theory I was expecting you to have answers all on counts. My bad, it is an interesting point of view though. I have thought since I first saw that video that they were two of the same.

Oh wow. I'm freaked. Alissa, go to bed earlier for next few nights. :^)
If this plot is entirely written out before hand, I think yours would be a possibility. However, I think you're making the plot writers look too smart.
Time will tell I guess. But it would awesome if it turned out that way. Cassie must be a nightmare to see on film. AHA - perhaps (since the most recent videos DO show her more tired) we are seeing her transformation into Cassie?
That's it. I'm going to bed.

My version of the bree is cassie theory would place Bree as not knowing that she's cassie (though I'd guess cassie knows she's bree) I was also thinking about "cassie's" email to Virginia. --Don't take things at face value, there's more than one girl-- maybe some of bree's videos are in cassie persona. Possibly the ones when she looks more haggard. Particularly this new one. In the swimming video, bree says everyone was mean to cassie. In the pluto vid, she says that everyone was mean to her. also, why does bree not remember what cassie looks like? If this girl was memorable enough for bree to remember her, she should remember what she looks like (unless she never actually sees her, since it's herself). Then, after ending that discussion and asking daniel if he wants to leave, she does a sort of fetal position rocking thing. KInd of trauma/regression of her. Just some thoughts.

Hooked: Thanks for your insight, I like it! Tuna: Be afraid, be very afraid. I was listening to the audio last night, and I kept turning around expecting to see a bloodied Cassie peering over my shoulder. I do like the ideas of Bree 'transforming' into Cassie. That tickles my willy!

I don't know the details of it, I think it was mentioned somewhere in the forum but I don't remember where... basically she said she worked on the LG15 project, and that it was about religon, and it made her and other crew members feel dirty for working on it. Edit: Thanks crackity.

Comments from Stereogum post:
it's a religious thing, it's all bought and paid for, and in about two weeks it'll be clear as day. thee is a reason no one ever flubs a line, stutters, makes a mistake etc. and it ain't editing. but i can't say more. Posted by: annabanana at August 23, 2006 2:38 PM
oh no - she's not - and I'm not on any religion's team, and i think the whole project is creepy and gross; but i'm just part of the work for hire posse that did some work for the project. i think there will be more disclosers with better info, (a lot of the people who worked on it feel really gross and dirty as i do) but my rent is too high to be too careless.
