Did I detect a note of unnecessary meanness here? Calm down, silver.

Ummmmm, no. I was actually saying that we could just use some suspension of disbelief and pretend we didn't previously know that it came from Dallas. I'd love for gogo to get to be cannon.

I'm not really sure why you would think I was being mean. And if I need to calm down, I'm sure a mod will slap my hands.

OK, things just started out bad today, and have steadily gone downhill. Please forgive me for misunderstanding. I thought you were flustered.

No problem. There's been some squabbles on the board and I think people have gotten a little on edge.

No harm, no fowl! LOL!

more than that, i want to know where jonas was/what happened/what he was doing between the point where he ran away, and raided the attic.

He was hiding in the car to get out of the cold. That's why he took the keys.

Then whose footprints lead out to the road. ooooooOOOOOOOoooooo

They were spying on him spying on them. That's really explanation enough.

I think you misunderstood voboy's request. He wanted Mvidrine to fix the quote tags on his/her post, because they had it saying that voboy had made the comment instead of yourself. He didn't want lordgreystoke to think it was him who had said it.

Thank you Lurker, I dont think I would have had the energy to explain it.

Wow, it sure is convenient that the guy who just happened to find Bree online and just happened to have TWO houses in secluded areas where they could hide out also happened to have parents who founded an organization against the very Order that happens to be threatening them, isn't it?

(Just so we're clear, I'm pointing this out because I think it's deus ex machina, i.e. a string of obvious and heavy-handed plot devices that are once again derailing a series I thought was showing potential again...not because I think this indicates "Jonas might really still be with the Order!" or any other such nonsense...)

Sorry, I'm sure this has all been said elsewhere, but I don't have time to wade through all these posts.

Actually, HSAO, itself, operates out of New England. Just an FYI for anyone who is interested. Sorry to bust off-topic.

hmm. okay. When i geotraced the IP it told me dallas.
*shrug*

Well its not so much that he's crazy or isn't crazy. Canon means part of the offical storyline. The creators haven't given Lordgreystoke the offical nod, his video's are fanfiction, they refer to the offical storyline but they do not affect the offical storyline. Now the question of the sanity of Lordgreystoke is a question for another day and another part of the forum...[/quote]

could someone bring me up to date on who Lordgreystroke is?

oh and I thought after Nikki B's lucy report it sort of proved that she was an actual part of the story? Is she not cannon now?

kjones wrote:oh and I thought after Nikki B's lucy report it sort of proved that she was an actual part of the story? Is she not cannon now?

She doesn't do her stuff with the idea in mind that it is going to be in any way significant to the story (or even canon), even though it arguably exists in the same fictional world with the same authenticity as most anything else. OpAphid has even acknowledged Nikki's presence, but I think Alli D still looks at her stuff as a fun aside for the fans (and herself).

Nikki's videos are best considered semi-canon, I think, but best observed with the intent of just having fun and not overanalyzing. If you go at them that way, then you'd miss the point.

I still think it would be great if the "D.T.A." turned out to be Bree's dad, though I doubt his name would really be "Drew Avery" if he is. After all, what are the chances that Nikki (the character who lives in that same world) would have accurately guessed the guy's name?

actually, Nikki B took the advice of prominant ARG players, so THEY'D be accurately guessing the name

Now that you mention it, it was Luv2Skydive who came up with that and Nikki liked it. So it would have been Luv2Skydive who guessed it, I guess.

I guess if L2SD's in-character persona is Order or anti-Order, it could work. So I'll take back my previous comment that it might not actually be "Drew Avery." It could happen.

Wow this is ridiculous.

kassia, I'm just borrowing your quote to respond to what a lot of other people have said about a chunk of the storyline being missing.

I find it frustrating too, but I suspect that the creators are deliberately playing with different types of narrative. Very few stories are told in two-to-four-minute chunks like LG15 is.

Plus we have to remember that this series is supposed to be a vlog. IMHO, very few people would film an emotional moment like that type of reconciliation, and then post it on the Internet. We've already seen several occasions where one of the characters has groused something along the lines of "Get that camera out of my face." I think it's entirely believable that at least one of the three -- B, J, or D -- would object to having the camera present. And given how pissy Jonas has been lately (apparently for good reason, but still), he might be the one saying, "Oh, no, you're not filming this."

Even when we've seen a key moment -- like the rescue vid -- the creators were careful to set up logical reasons why the cameras would be present and running. I think that in this case, the creators may just have figured that there wasn't sufficient logical reason for the camera to be there.
