Unremarked in all the emotional heat of the past few days is how artfully the characters of our four brave Order-fighters were brought forward in the 12 in 12. By vid 11, they each have their very convincing telling "moment," where we see them as fully rounded individuals with distinct storylines and with a variety of complex and competing reactions to Bree's death. More important, we CARE about each of them even as we're struggling with the mega emotions of the big loss.
For instance, how ghastly must it have been for Daniel to hear Bree's phone message, dashing any dim, lingering hopes he might have still held (and believe me, we carry them despite the facts in front of us) that Bree might just secretely love him. So Daniel suffers two deaths in the same afternoon.
Achieving this amount of complexity and emotional charge is not a small achievement, especially given how recently it was that three of them were inserted ((sometimes akwardlly, even disastrously -- Jonas' bizarre backstory) into a fully formed storyline with two strongly developed main characters. Not an easy task....
So here comes Season Two and for a lot of the folks who watched LG for the first time last week (or for the first time since the big reveal), and who may return to watch it unfold, it will be the four Breesketeers rather than Bree herself, who stand out. Or not, but that this is even a possibility would have been unthinkable six months ago.
OK, class over....
