0109 "Bree's Dad Is Dead" [1/3/07]

[Lola]

Geesh...I liked it. Things would wrap up pretty quickly if each video supplied all the answers. This was made by Daniel, a kid who likes to make videos, because right now he doesn't know what else to do. Jonas knows what it's like to lose someone important but for Bree and Daniel it's probably their first encounter with death. A funeral isn't likely.

i really didn't mean to start anything with the emo comment. Sorry guys.
In all honesty, I really didn't think the video was that beautiful. In the past, there have been some really great videos (when they were homeless was one) and I commented on how artistic it was. At that time, I also said I hoped there would be more like it.
This, however, did not have any affect over me at all. This probably has something to do with the fact that I don't believe Mr. Bree is dead. And I did only watch the video once at 5:30 am... so maybe that has something to do with it.

I was just trying to express my dissapointment with the follow-up. I understand that answers couldn't be so readily given, I mean... that wouldn't fit at all with the LG saga...
I think maybe I felt it was too much. Someone was trying too hard NOT to give us answers.

I also have a problem with a video that seems to be about nothing at all. Yes, you are grieving, and my sympathy, but because we are so used to analysing every tiny bit of every video, a video with such empty images is just frustrating. For example, there's a clear shot of a vibrant flower... analyse. Yes it symbolises lonliness as someone already mentioned, but that's so obvious. We spend hours talking about bree's painted nails and the framing of her birthmark... and then we get the obvious symbols of a bird, and a flower, and some pensive shots.

anyway.
Also, yeah I agree that the video had a lot of similarities to Tach. (but I enjoy her videos more)

Either way, I have accepted that I will have to wait for some real answers.
This is all just my opinion; I'm certainly not trying to fight with anyone who did like the video.
And now i'll go watch it again to see if my feelings have changed at all.

Visually it was a beautiful video, I just wished we could have gotten more answers or like a "I know the last video was shaky, so here is what happened..."

Hopefully we get some answers soon!

i haven't even watched the video yet, but i feel as if i don't even need to. doesn't the title say it all?


edit:: ok i watched it all, man that was one seriously emo video. in a good way. the music was perfectttttt.

and a cool part, i'm pretty sure i've been on that highway before.

and THE HELICOPTERS DON'T MATTER, HUH?

*giggles*

loves it.

You know what I think…I’m thinking that they did call 911.

What person wouldn’t call 911 if their parent was shot? No matter what the situation. Okay if Bree didn't then Danbeast, if he wouldn't, then Jonas

Someone shot someone, the police show up and you have the daughter of the victim hysterical with her 2 friends blabbering about the cult that has been after them and her etc...etc... And Lucy and the Thug telling a completely different story -
Now the Order is really pissed cause they have drawn attention



Oh i don't know! I've been up all night trying to figure find more answers..m slipping..

But doesn't the thing on the left say Colorado Springs.....

How long would it take to go from LA to Colorado....

Do you mean the thing above the character in second life on the right? That says "codesinto serapis", which is one of CiW's many acronyms.

Since CiW is not canon, let's not spend too much time discussing this... it's really pretty cool, but probably sheer coincidence.

Agreed, BK. I was just being silly.

The reason I got so upset at 2 a.m. this morning was because this video is telling us Bree's dad is dead, but the previous one, to me, didn't even show anyone getting hurt. Yes we saw alot of reactions to what is concieved to be a gunshot, but no one laying out on the ground dead.

If he did die, how do the kids know this? Did they in fact see more than we did? I am sure they did, but I was frustrated because I felt that we needed those answers.

I will hold on and wait. I only hope we do get these answers soon, and we are not left hanging again. I understand the grieving process, but without the answers, this grieving leaves me confused.

I agree that the video was beautiful, and Jonas looking out into the water was a great effect. I even understand Bree sleeping at the end for she has been through alot of emotional stress lately.

My only hope is that now Bree realizes that she now needs to own up and give us more explaination. She is losing her family, she has lost her life as she knew it, and has put her friends in danger. It is past time to tell us everything- or at least tell Daniel.

i'm thinking they didn't because they've been well informed that the police are infiltrated as well.

just like in the majority of drama/action/horror movies.. noone really ever calls the police, and if they do, the police never believe them anyways..

Is it just me or did anyone else find it kind of funny that the video was in memory of "Bree's dad" and they didn't reveal his name? I dunno, I thought it was kinda funny.

[Chartreuse]

I noticed the "bree with arms out facing the water" similarities to "cassie with arms out facing the water" too. Hey, CiW wasn't canon, but seriously, just add that to the growing list of recent Cassie allusions. One of these days, the *real* Cassie is just going to waltz into Jonas' house and be like, "here I am, this is what happened to me," and then have some important role to play in the plot.

Sidenote, with all of these Cassie's running around... Creators, if you do bring in an ACTUAL, CANON CASSIE, don't let her make videos on her own first because we're all sick of fake Cassies. Just let her in on a canon video and BOOM, we won't have to jump through all of the "is she canon" hoops.

Anyhow... this video didn't say a whole lot, but if your father died suddenly, would you put a lot into an informational video?

However, I do wish that, while DBeast took care of Bree out there on the beach, Jonas would have turned to the camera (since Jonas is pretty much like us fans personified) and gave us a LITTLE bit of explanation. I felt like they were ignoring all of our questions after 2, 3 days.

But at least this video DID prove that it wasn't Bree or Jonas that got shot... I know those were the other two distinct possibilities by the analysis of the last video. So it did clear that up.

I personally like the theory that Bree's Dad is "dead" because he betrayed Bree. That would go with that "Bree's dad standing there in the garage and then walking towards Lucy and the deacon" theory, and would go along with the "you're dead to me" definition of dead.

I dunno. We need a new video and FAST.

I thought it was funny as well.

I took it as cold. It almost took away the feeling of the video. He deserves a name.

[spaciegirlreturn]

for the love of god...can he have a name?!

I'm really tired of calling him Bree's Dad

my only grievance...that was awkward. We already knew who they were talking about, couldn't they have said "in memory of John Smith 1967-2006" or something...I think we would have gotten it.

Anyway, I can't believe I'm not the one bitching!! I liked the video. It aswered a question, it was different...it was dramatic. I don't see the problem. Plus it's not like they've ever come out and answered all of our questions before. Was anyone actually expecting that?

Also, for everyone with "reality" concerns. I say screw reality. It's nearly impossible to have everything make sense and remain in vlog format..plus if they were trying to make everything fit into reality and make total sense, we would't have gotten the last two videos, which I really liked and am seriously thankful for.

[cephista]

to me it sounds like they are somehow listening to a police channel while driving...maybe that's where they heard about a shooting and a dead person? but wouldn't the order take the "dead" Mr. Bree along? very unlikely ummm just going in circles now with my thoughts...

This is a man and he has a name.
His name is Robert Paulsen.
