[I in APHID] [Discussion] The man with the White Van

bordeom, I think it's a matters of physical logistics and a storyline, really.

The ARG people seem to be up in Northern California. The majority of the drops have been up there. I think there's only been one in the LA area, right? The very first one?

The series in filmed in Southern California...and acording to the storyline, Jonas lives quite a distance from Bree/Daniel's homes. Remember when they came to LA to meet her father? That was a road trip...and it's a 6-10 drive from LA depending upon where you're going.

The video *was* shot at the COrbin Bowl...but it's just a set, I think. We're supposed to beleive it's elsewhere.

However...there hasn't actually been anything in the series to actually place it in Northern California...just the ARG drop. In the ARG...they're in NOrthern California. In the series, there is no confirmed location, except for what we know of the filming locations.

This is a divergance that seems to be bothering a lot of people...and it is odd, but the ARG stills fits the LG15 series storyline. You just have to beleive that the Corbin Bowl is the ficitonal "Pins and Pints" bowling alley...wherever that may be.

It's like the Vasquez Rocks:

That's just north of L.A.....but that area has been used as a film backdrop for all kinds of things. It's really just a backdrop or set...and not really meant to be literal. However, it's kinf od difficult because the series tends to muddle sets and real locations all the time.

That's pretty predictable, though, isn't it??
Hey, it doesn't matter, so long as Bree and Jonas fall for it. Don't fix it if it ain't broke, right?

True.

Also, although I had said something earlier about the hat being similiar to her dads, it's probably just a prop that the creators use to signify that "yes, you should be noticing this, even though we're not going to tell you what it means yet."

HOLY CRAP! it's invasion of the body snatchers! the hat takes over human hosts!

fear the hat!

Lad! YOUR hat is the only one that can save mankind!

I'm just gonna say that I don't think White Van Guy is Daniel.

Bree was right there, and even though he maybe makes an attempt to hide his face, there are other things you recognize in people you're that close to besides their faces. I think Bree would have recognized the way he was standing, or the way he held his shoulders. She would have recognized SOMETHING about him even if she didn't see his face.

Personally, I think D's been 'napped, and I kind of think he deserves it. I mean, what kind of IDIOT goes back to the same bowling alley that representatives of an organization that you've been RUNNING FROM for who even knows how long FOUND YOUR FAKE ID. Seriously, the gang is getting sloppy and I think they deserve a wake up call.

Can't wait for Oppy's Daniel interrogation vid...

i don't know about you, but i never liked white vans. was always afraid to get near them.

probably goes back to elementary school when i was a patrol officer (the 5th grade kids that stand on corners near the school and help children cross the street) and we were briefed about this guy who was kidnapping children. he drove a white van much like that. i saw a white van parked out by the school buses one day, and being captain of the patrol officers, i ran to the principal to tell him.

ever since then, white van=kidnapper, stay away

Well...now that we've seen the guy in the white van, and he's a cowyboy (Howdy-Doody), i've been wondering about something...

One of peoples thoughts was that it was brother, and people automatically said "Well, we'll ask Luv."
Well...one question. Why would they have the actor place the drop? Other for realism. But drops are supposed to be dropped. Not given by the character.
My thought was that this "Brother" that luv saw wasn't "Brother" (unless this guy is brother then this idea is out of the window, but my thoughts are right. But he was one of the PM's. He panicked, knew he was being chased down for the drop, and didn't know what else to do, but be "Brother".
I'm suspecting that this guy, in the van, is either brother, or connected to brother in a very direct way.
Like Jonas said in this video, this doesn't seem to be a watcher, and he doesn't see to be Order related. He just seems to be there, but at the same time, he was following them in "Looking for Daniel."
I personally think that the dude Luv saw wasn't "Brother" the actor but "Brother" the character, being played by a PM. It seems messy and irresponsible method of doing this...but, to me it makes sense.

I thought it was "Puppet Master" ... to refer to the creator(s)... no?

BTW: i could totally be wrong on that...just something I heard before.

yea your right, but I think the general consensus is that its not the LG15 Creators, but someone different.
