Over the last few months, I have come to have more and more respect for the LG15 series. I can't believe how intelligent and analytical its fans have been, and how far they've been willing to go to deconstruct the videos and find their deeper meanings. I know the series has its flaws, and isn't the first of its kind, but I think this represents what media SHOULD be. It makes people think, research, cooperate and come up with well thought-out opinions. I have to salute the creators of LG15, and, especially, its dedicated fans. I know I haven't gotten involved in it really, but I love watching it unfold and seeing new possibilities open up. Maybe the creators didn't even expect it to happen on this scale, but it has definitely shown a different and very positive side of its fans. Imagine if a course in school were conducted using a series like this, and the kids in the class, eager to find out what was going to happen next, were willing to conduct their own scientific experiments, research certain subjects extensively, and decipher textual clues. What well-educated scholars they'd be! This is such a great opportunity to use media to make people more well-rounded.

Well said

I agree that LG15 is very interesting and ground breaking because its so popular. It's a great experiment because it has a huge audience. Hopefully we'll see more of this type of storytelling in the future.
