This video (except for the part about Daniel) is very stylized and symbolic, so the same person in the video with different eye colors could be meant to represent two different people in the same situation or condition. I think the first one is the "original" Op, while the new one is an apprentice ...

Re: Cleavage Shots..

Has anybody figured out why Bree was giving us cleavage shots with a bee/wasp thingy tacked to her shirt

In Thelemic Qabala, the bee is a symbol of the third Sepiroth(Binah), also symbolized by woman and associated with the goddess Babalon (Crowley, 777 and Other Qabalistic Writings). Could just ...

They're different, alright. The first set are blue (though it's pretty dark and hard to tell - good old creators don't like to make things too easy) and the second set are green. I believe they're two different people.

If she sticks around, I'm going to start thinking of her as "Op Aphid", not neccessarily because I believe she is, more to keep the paranoia at a proper level. I mean c'mon. A beautiful girl helps to pour a total stranger into a car, then decides to go hang around with his friends (also total ...

And I think that's the best part of the whole thing. We get to invent a hundred stories for every one that gets filmed.

I see two likely choices:

1) Bree wants to fool the order into thinking she's no longer suitable to be sacrificed to the dragon.

2) Cassie's back. My favorite. I'm betting that by tomorrow or the next day, Bree won't remember a thing.

My eyes are green, but my heart is red (unless I'm hungover). I'm having some surreal moments lately, which I believe to be the entire point of this exercise.

Sorry about that

The whole GC crew.

Edit:

On second watching, I realize that I misread the whole thing. My current read is that itrog and *riley are captured and GC and simon got away. Teach me to watch the whole video before jumping to ...

[quote="JustAnotherLonelyGirl."]A while back, people speculated about the reoccurrence of water in the videos. Daniel always avoids swimming. What do you make of this?

Maybe he's from Newfoundland. I've never met a Newf that didn't despise open water - has something to do with living on the frigid ...

Bree seems to "shut down" a lot. Perhaps this is her unknown way of keeping that extra persona locked up...

I completely agree with you. What she really needs is for someone to grab her by the arms and refuse to let go until she starts screaming. A good scenery-chewing episode would do her a ...

GuillitineCallamity - [discussion] down for the count

Op and Grandpa Wwolfe have rolled up the whole merry band and taken over their YT accounts, which doesn't bode well for their current state of health. Damn.

On the "plus" side, maybe Op will now have some time to look after other business.

Denial is a wonderful thing. "Completely alone" could mean exactly the opposite. Cassie is really beginning to make efforts to get out and take over, and Bree is still denying her existence.

It has certain similarities to The Da Vinci Code, as you've noted, but the symbology here is much deeper and more varied, and the layers of meaning and double meanings just weren't there in DVC. If The Da Vinci Code was a Bugs Bunny cartoon, this is a combination of Ulysses and Catch-22.
