WOW!! I apologize for killing the thread/discussion.

To comment on the vid by DBJ... salmon jerky is evil. You can buy it at Trader Joes, on occasion, and it's awful. Think about the most vile barmitzvah breakfast, with lox that's sat on a table, in the sun, for four hours...and the lox is the last thing left, and you'll approach the vileness that is "salmon jerky".

Out of all of the ways to kill a character on a video, I don't care if it's affiliated with LG15 (in fact, I hope it wasn't),... that, in light of the VTech stuff, was too graphic, too soon.

Seriously...as a writer, it disturbs me that some people lack the creativity to change a script, even last minute, to accomodate sensitive current events.
My feeling is the exact opposite.

Besides, who decides a statute of limitations on that kind of thing anyway? The victims' friends and families? There may never be a "long enough" for them, and no one else really would really have the right to decide if there was a "long enough."

If something's supposed to play out a certain way, it should play out that way, I think. It's not like waiting six months would make what happened at VT change.

Personally, I get annoyed at how people in broadcasting act like they shouldn't air a certain television program or something like that soon after such an event, but then think waiting several months somehow makes it all pleasant again. If just seems extremely disingenuous.

I know the argument's been made that it "gives them sufficient time to mourn," but, again, who decides that? Who can say that it hurts less or would bother them less after that period? What if it's more?

So...I only started watching MaddisonAtkins vids a few days ago....

SHE'S DEAD??!?!?!?!

:cry: I liked her. I liked Adam. They seemed more realistic compared to BDJ, in my opinion anyway. Don't get me wrong, I love TAAG, but really, come on, "oh no the Order is going to get us, but the worst that has ever happened is one time we got drugged...er...and they asked us questions...and er...oh yeah they kidnapped Daniel, but he was fine though...and yeah." Please. This is supposed to be a consipiracy!!! I don't think that the LG15 vids are dark enough for the plot. I couldn't believe it when Maddy and Adam got shot (R.I.P. guys) but its more realistic. The good guys don't always win. In fact, it's less likely because of their age and inexperience and isolation. I would have liked to see how those guys progressed. I'm really hoping that there will be a video in about a week or month with the whole, "we sure fooled him with the near-fatal-wounding-but-only-really-playing-dead-till-he-went-inside-trick didn't we?" Probably not going to happen, but I liked those guys :(

Point: Darker vids fit better with dark storylines. I think that TAAG is getting to be more about Jonas' eyes, Daniel's substance abuse, and Bree's lack of female friends. I hope the plot starts to pick up again soon.

Well that about wraps it up for me,
Adios

I agree that this new video was refreshing, plus it finally hinted at where the plot will go.

Rose, the carrier pigeon has a myspace. He's one of my friends (I believe he said he was male). Go look at my friend's list...lol.

If I had been Maddy and Adam, I'd have sold the account-opening, typing pigeon on ebay, and hidden in the Carribean under an assumed name for the rest of my life.

ETA: His name is HTMLvis, Rose.
