Summary
What makes you happy? - Bree Faction: THE ORDER

Credits
The Hymn by Kevin Schlanser

SPOILER ALERT:






Its' the RETURN OF BREEMOM!

In anotherwise pointless video. This Hymn of one relgiious mumbo-jumbo just gets sillier and sillier. Its completely unlike Bree's religion as she appeared to live it a year ago.

looks like a bree installment.

With a whacked out hippie title like that? Naah!!

[elixir]

LOL, that was funny.

"Sorry, what's that I hear? Why, that's the Hymn of One singing for you to be happy."

I hope we get to see Bree's mum soon. I wonder if they mentioned her with plans to show her or if they only mentioned her because people have been complaining about them not telling us where she is. I hope they do manage to bring her into the storyline somehow, because even though (as was discussed with Prom Queen) parents are seen to make things less interesting, I think seeing the woman who kidnapped a girl, raised her in a cult, has had her husband killed by the cult, and hasn't come after her daughter for a almost year would be pretty bloody interesting if they can carry it off well.

I wish Temp would comment on this if she drops by. Does this babble have ANYTHING to do with Crowley either? From what little I know, it seems to bear no resemblance at all to his teachings, yet he is quoted on the website.



ETA: Even the most rabid of the phorumites don't like this one. Oh, and Lurker and LLP have reappeared, posting (obviously coordinated...) simultaneous negative comments. Bizarre.

Before I'm proven spectacularly wrong, I'm going to be the first to stick my neck out and say we'll never see Ms. Bree again. This is LG15's Soprano's "Fade to Black".

I really really hope I'm wrong.

Really,

FLWright

PS And I hope Aunt Alex has something to do with me being wrong.

Wright is wrong. This is so bad, it's hard to snark. Bad script, bad acting, bad music, bad cinematography, no Aunt Alex.

Just horrible, it's turned me into a hater.

I don't see it that way FLW. Not haterz, just grossly disappointed in the loss of potential that these guys showed at the beginning and at certain points since then. I'm Breally hoping that they won't make all these mistakes with KM, but you would think that they would have learned by now... The current project is almost beyond salvage at this point.

From the "A New Lead" thread:

Maybe the wittle Order is finally becoming more competent? Maybe this time they'll go do the ceremony instead of filming commercials embedded with clues for the Resistance?

Stupid me. Of course they're filming commercials! The Order must be as afraid of the Ceremony as Bree is.

I agree, and all I can do now is just laugh at it. Not sure if that's a good thing or not....

But honestly, just take a step back for a moment and forget the whole long winded "plot" and all the potential LG once had, and just look at this episode for what it is. Featuring our "beloved" Bree or not, mention of NotMum or not, ARG or not; it was a pile of crap.

So repeat after me: follow your happiness... and laugh your head off at this production, because as I said before I bet the creators are laughing at us. They can't possibly consider this production as serious, and I don't think we can anymore either. It's sad, yes. Because we wanted it to amount to so much more than this. But just laugh at the absurdity of this whole thing; in plot and out in the real world. It truly is bizarre.

Anyway, that's where I'm at in my approach to LG right now.

[milowent]

if it was truly being bizarre, i think the gayliens would have surfaced by now.

i really do think they consider it serious. they are willing to stretch the bounds of what is logical and possible all the time (e.g., jules escapes in a populated area, yet hunkers near a dumpster instead of seeking help, taking jonas to the vet, bree living in the forest on powerbars for 8 days, bree having sex with jonas, bree being so brainwashed that she is glad to be reunited with her mom, etc. etc.) -- but they don't see this as a real problem, its part of "suspension of disbelief" to them.

i do hope they introduce a mom character, but on the other hand i hope they don't. my conception of her complexities makes her more fascinating not seeing her. i'd like to hear more about her, and what she is presently doing, without seeing her for while.

*Sigh* I know they are being serious. Even if they really did introduce the gayliens, it would be done so in a, "Yeah, this is so exciting and revolutionary. We know you will really like it," kind of a way... but I can't look at it as serious anymore. I guess lately it makes me feel better laughing at it, even though I know I'm not supposed to. It kind of gives me the upper hand, lol.

About the mum character; I think you are right. If they do introduce her, it will ruin our conceptions of her. I suppose that having her as a mystery is one of the few good suspenseful things left about the show.

However, I hope that Bree talks about her more too, for two reasons. Firstly, so that we find out more about her, and secondly to make Bree's character more believable as a complex person who has been through a lot. Not that I want to see EmoBree next, but a bit of reflection and real emotion wouldn't go astray even in her current, fairly nonchalant state it would be good to hear her talk more about her mum especially as the last time she did, she told us that she hated her.

Funny phorum thread comments:

hamovbala4ever89:

eduww i jsut threw up a little in my mouth!!! lol its soo cheesy!!

hamovbala4ever89:

hey guyz did u catch the wink??? does that mean hey im totally messing around they dont have me all hypnotized, or was that involuntary???

this post, and many others, are referring to what appears to be a wink at :41 by bree, but it doesn't look intentional or meaningful.



milowent:

i think carl and bree are probably going to have sex now. no?

kismetologist

oh fuckitall.

this is ridiculous.
....
"that's so special."

you know what's special...the fact that i still want to know what the hell the god damn ceremony is.

...they look mormon. like they just stepped off the BYU campus and stumbled under this tree.

MayhemII

Damn you milo! You stole my "crackpot theory".

Samara

The phrase "Follow your happiness" was used 10 times in this video...

The word happiness? 15

The word happy? 5

Aja

"Sorry, what's that I hear? That's the Hymn of One."

Give me a break.

house:

I'm "aware" that this video was friggin' boring.

*sigh*....
Carl reminds me of the Spartan Spirit Cheerleaders from Saturday Night Live. Only... less funny.

Wisi Girl:

Nine pages for that video!?!?!! Wait, the first three was only "pre-vid chatter" and the last six are of fans freaking out over a wink......

Creators, this is lame.

Does anyone recall what the forum used to be like because I remember very well! When this site was re-introduced as the official site, (once Bree was revealed to be Jessica Rose,) each thread had pages and pages of interesting research, ideas, and the content of the videos provoked a lot of new thoughts for us. Now, we have eight pages about where everyone is from, how damn slow the video takes to load, and how incredible Bree's wink was and the far reaching possibilities that are behind it!

Lurker, House....I am glad you are still sane. At least I am not the only dissapointed one here. Damn, this video really was awful. Especially the part where Carl paused and asked Bree if she also heard the Hymn of One song! At that point, I thought, "This couldn't be worse if someone had hired these actors to do a spoof video on the LG15 series!"

I am done with my rant. Continue with your theorizing over the wink.

the snark level at the phorum is code red for this video. i love this one:

tricky-ticky-tavi

Well, I am just glad that lg15 hasn't gone all creative and professional. I mean the last few videos have had great acting and editing, and it was starting to un-nerve me. I mean, where are the days of the awkward pauses and silly lines?? Where are the overdone vocal tones and forced fun? Good news - The crappy acting is back, and it brought a little friend named Carl. He doesn't seem to be able to make complete sentences at all. Awesome. ...

Oh, I noticed the wink, but I assumed it was part of another puzzle embedded in a Hymn of One commercial and figured the forumites would solve it today. Guess not. Wow, so now there's no story, and no game.

And as if by magic(k) she appears.
Short answer, no. Crowley was averse to groups of unthinking people pursuing only happiness, he would view that as an established religion which causes stagnation and imprisonment of the Will
This is more like an infomercial for Waco.
