Anyone else?

He's a skateboarder. He's rich. He lives alone. What's his deal?

Anyone else?

Post by junetown »

I'm not hating on Jonas here, I think he's a great character.

However, I have thought he was a bad guy since this video:

http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=132&play=1

titled "tough cookie". This is the video where he outs Gemma and shows the video that Tachyon supplied us all with.

Now, it's suspicious enough that he received this footage yet had no idea who Tachyon was, but I won't even get into that.

The thing that made me lose trust in him was the tone of his voice when he outed Gemma. He tries to bring it up smoothly, but the way he accuses her... From the shaking of his head to the way he says "Gemma" before showing the video clip, it all seems so .. I don't know, I can't think of how to explain it but it seems as though he's guilty himself.

Anyone else get that feeling from this video or am I the only one?


And another note, what kind of guy uses a cell phone knowing the capabilities of the order? And whether or not its tracable, he knows it bothers his friends a lot. He has no reason to use it, so why is he?

He received it like we all did. But I do agree that he seems kinda shady here. I still love him though.

Maybe he's just being stubborn because he and Daniel aren't talking to one another right now, so he's intentionally doing things to anger him. I know it doesn't seem mature, but it's a possibility nonetheless.
Jonas is no Bruce Wayne, but he is a mild-mannered millionare with a secret identity.
He's HamsterMan, and his parents' bedroom is really the entrance to the HamsterCave.

The reference to Bruce Wayne and the hamster tags all make sense now!

that's very true, we have to keep in mind they are all "teenagers".

problem i see is, why would he put bree at risk in the process? it just doesn't seem right.

i love jonas, i think his character is really well written into the story line, but i just can't get over this video. i really can't. i hope people aren't thinking i am discrediting him by calling him a villian.

I think it's just in this video the actor just had a bit of trouble acting all surprised and all.

You should also think about the actor/actress's skill in acting! It might not just be how the play is portrayed, it could also be the actor's skill.

Sometimes an actor can try to act shocked, scared, etc. and the way they act it can make you think they were portraying a different emotion or trying to show there is something more to this emotion or something.

But we never know, he could have really tried to act like he was acting surprised or whatever..

I kinda believe it's more on the actor's skill, but I'll try to think somewhat that it's possible he was purposely trying to act like that.

i've also thought this. but what worries me is that i've never had a hard time understanding what they were portraying before.

not sure, not sure. i guess in time we'll find out.

What's the right way to react though? Seriously. I love Jonas. More than Daniel actually. I trust him more too. I mean, I trust Daniel but, there's something so pure about Jonas. I love him.
*mwah* Angie! ;)

I am a little confused as to how Jonas got a hold of tachy's videos, but I still think that Jonas is innocent. Basically, I think that he knows something about what's going on (if he's working with Tachyon, then it would make sense that he had the footage of gemma), but he's not working for the Order.

I'm not sure this is really an issue of Jackson's acting skills though. I don't know...Jonas's reaction seems typical of how jonas acts in the other videos, and he probably saw the footage with gemma before he made the video, so he wouldn't really need to act surprised, now would he?

I don't think I could ever bring myself to dislike/not trust Jonas. Not just because he's extremely good looking, but he just seems so...trustable. I can't explain it.

Him getting ahold of Tachy's videos is weird, his reaction however, isn't. He saw the footage of Gemma before he posted his reaction, so he wouldn't be surprised.

I agree with you completely. I'm still thinking he's somehow working with Tachy, because then it would make sense that he had the footage.
He obviously saw the videos with Gemma before he made the video, so he definitely wouldn't be surprised.
