Long-winded, but has some interesting ideas about the series.

Nice article. I think the suggestions the author recommends are good ones:
If I had a wishlist for the series creators, it would begin with the following steps:

- Include a link to “The Story So Far...” on the front page
- Tap one of your users to create a series of LG15 recap videos
- Compose (or have a user compose) a guide to viewing the series
- Closed caption videos to make viewing more convenient for casual viewers who may want to view videos at work, or during other audio-inconvenient times
- Move “real character” user videos into the main episodes section before the main characters respond to them
- Make clear in the Wiki the relationship between the ARG and the main series, and to what extent non-players should pay attention to the characters in OpAphid

i am amazed at the depth of analsyis. the author has clearly spent some time in the forums. she understands in detail the problems caused by the way gemma and jonas were introduced, as well as the interaction between lg15 and OpAphid.

Good article. The creators will surely take note of her suggestions.

The "Previously on LG15" video suggestion was especially a very good idea. They do it on regular shows...
