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.

here here! NY tri state area....I'm a web writer - consider my services offered....I keep imagining the east coast operative that pops up all gemma-like w/ an accent making LIRR/NYC references ("don't change trains in Jamaica" and "in the city, it's easier to fly under the radar - I don't even know my neighbors")

It's so much more fun in my head...cool things happen in there

Maybe this mean Op is retreating or pulling back. (personally I would consider that a foreshadowing of a coming "calm before the storm")

This is going to be a pretty far-fetched idea, but then again it's just discussing, right?

Okay, so Gemma had blue eyes, and maybe the blue eyes in the beggining represented the fact that Gemma was there, and now gone, and that now she has someone else working for her, someone with green eyes...

or am I going crazy?

It does look different. Greener than the usual blue eyes.
I'm not sure it is different though, may just be the lighting.
But I see it too.

So here's the thing:

I was reading a post on the end of the Truth or Dare video, and it said to compare the photo of the eyes at the end of the new oppy vid with randomgirl. So I screen capped the photos and put them together in a photo editing program... and I really think you guys ought to look at the pic.

Unfortunately... (here's the part where I sound like a TOTAL NOOB).... I can't get the image to display in a message. Every time I try it... (using the img button... and the text command) it just displays the actual parenthesis and command. Arrggh. See...

So... I guess I'll deal with the consequences of sounding like a NOOB later... can anyone help me so that I can post the pic.

Here's a link to where you can look at it otherwise... but I'd really appreciate it if anyone who regularly posts pics can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

the nOoOoOoB.

ps... here's the link to the pic otherwise:

I re-watched it, and it is the same eye (i think) in different lighting (the lighting is definately different if you compair the two frames before and after the red...brain shot), but jsut displaying total fear...

so could I'm wondering if this is a hint that Oppy is either scared and doesn't know which way to turn, because this isn't the way things were supposed to go...or faking it.

THe Randomgirl (Kat MacPhee from American Idol cycle 6[right???]) was jsut a guest appearance.

Either way...in no way do they look similar.

But welcome! Keep on truckin'

Hmmm. I guess the eyebrows really make me think that they are similiar. All I have to do is look at it and it appears to me that with a little makeup, McPhee (that's right, runner up AI6) could be the girl in oppy's pic.

I find it intriguing that oppy could be sending an operative to watch and infiltrate. I'm not completely convinced that Katherine's appearance might not hold more significance than the producers are letting on.

Still trucking. Thanks

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, as it were.

I almost have to wonder if opaphid feels like she's failing at something.
Everything seems backwards, plus the fearful eye...

You know, I have been thinking about this Kill. We assume that this girl is the poster child of sorts for OP. Maybe this assumption is wrong.

The girl in the image has never seemed very happy to me. She seems like she is caught...almost like a girl imprisoned. I have seen her as a symbol of another girl in captivity.

Also, Oppy sees this as a game. "well played" to me seems as if she is playing chess. I assume we took a pawn.

Assume, that is, because as of this moment....I'm voting for tachy to get the checkmate! Yeah baby...

We assume this because it's what we've been told. We are to believe that the person who we exchange emails with is in fact the girl in Op's videos. (I'm assuming that by "the girl in the image..." you mean the one in Op's vids not Tach's.) Am I saying that we know for absolute certain that we have been told the truth? Of course not, but I am of the mind that she is in fact Op.

And as for everything seeming to be backwards in the video, like I've said, I think this video is simply telling us that not everything is what it seems. I really don't think it has anything to do with Op thinking she's failed...Idk, that's just so unlike Op. Totally not her character. I have a hard time seeing it that way. Anyways, just my two cents.
