In my opinion the early ones WERE interesting, they managed to have a semblance of a plot, very interesting (not to mention intelligent) dialogue, and did not have to rely on what have been at times utterly ridiculous plot twists to fuel the show.
You seem to be forgetting it was that "ho-hum" early stuff that made lonelygirl a sensation, long before they were living in alleys or having their nearest and dearest murdered in broad daylight in front of their very eyes. Sometimes I think the plot has twisted so much that it is literally strangling itself. I think a vocal minority has come to expect such twists, and as they have become bigger and more bombastic each time they need that to satisfy them (a lonelycrack addiction, just like a regular crack addiction, apparently requires more and more doses to get the same feeling). I don't think that's the way it should be though.
Creatores sometimes I think you are swayed too much by the people here. Those that post here are the vocal minority, recall you get hundreds of thousands of hits but there are only what, 100 active posters here at most? You do not need to keep listening to them to guide the series, because as you can see it's led you down some frightening paths to a place where we don't even recognize Bree anymore. Sadly I am afraid with all this dramatics it is impossible to "ever go home again" (literally and figuratively). Just remember that you didn't need the extreme dramatics and horrifying plot twists to get all these fans, do you really need to muck it up with all that because a few phorum posters want it?
I'm not being critical, I just really care about the series and feel it's gotten to a place where we don't even recognize Bree anymore (though the recent episode about her future came close). That was what was so endearing about Bree, a regular girl talking about her regular problems in an intelligent, interesting way, complete with real life trials and tribulations. That's all you need for a good episode, not all this quasi-supernatural stuff which has pushed our "suspension of disbelief" to its limit. Please, try and get back to your original formula, someway, somehow. I think you'll be glad you did.[/u]
I never post in the forums (first time actually) I do post on the comments occasionally.
I lurk and watch the videos mostly.
While I respect your opinion HyeMew, I disagree wholeheartedly.
I really dislike innocent happy go lucky Bree as a character at this point in the story. To me it doesn't fit. Of course that could well be part of the plot and I accept it for now because of that.
I see a huge range from people who watch in likes and dislikes with the video styles and this is hard to satisfy I would think.
My biggest issue has been flow and progression of the plot.
I'm no writer so I don't truly understand why I don't like the series at times but I do seem to find the transitions between happy go lucky Bree to sullen Bree cause me to see things as slowing down to a crawl.
This is probably just my A.D.D. kicking in but I need to see a progression in a timely fashion to be satisfied with the story as a whole.
More importantly in my opinion if they were to take things back to sweet innocent Bree all all the time I think there would be a huge departure of the people who like to see her develop in whatever way the story takes her.
For the time being however, I don't think anyone who doesn't have access to the whole story arc can suggest a way of portraying Bree that would make sense. We don't know what she knows right now so we don't know how she should be behaving.
These jumps in style seem to take us away from the thread of the story but I understand that could be totally wrong as I have no access to the whole story either.
For now I am content to wait and see if this goes in a direction that interests me.
I hope that made sense as I was typing things as I analyzed my own thoughts/feelings and they came out as disjointed as they appear.
Like I said I'm no writer.
PS. I thought the promos were hilarious!
Yup, that's right FOX actually hired us to write/direct/produce them as a promotion for the movie. We weren't sure how they would go over so we didn't want to just come out and say it. You guys can be a little.... critical 
i dont think anyone but you guys could have made them THAT good...
...I was all excited for no reason....
