And are we supposed to pretend it's a private video until a description goes up? Or can we pretend its not and go runnign to tachyon?

hey i say fair game until its specified. if you wanna run to tachy, please do!

Where are you looking? For some reason it wouldn't work for me on revver but it did on the LG15 homepage. Maybe that was just me.
That was not just you .. weird

But is the forum slow for you guys or is THAT just ME?

Yeah, its really moving slow lately. It used to be pretty fast. =[

they want Daniel to go home, because they know Bree is stronger with him around.

Notice how Bree asks about Daniel, and not Jonas. No matter what, Daniel is Bree's rock, always.

I agree. :] It would be nice to know for sure anyway though.
Anyway, in regards to the "cheesy voice" I was thinking maybe it was meant to not be creepy or anything because of how they say that they can't hurt Bree and stuff so yeah.

I have been clicking for the last fourty five minutes. I have not seen the video because i keep getting kicked back to revver's home page. what the hell. i'm hoping that by posting this, it will try to make a liar out of me and work. lets hope this experiment works cause i'm going bonkers.

Man, I was just not feeling this video. I don't know where they go from here. Is Tachyon going to have to save them again? That's a bit redundant. I'm waiting for a real twist. This video was well-acted but it's just going around in circles.

I don't want this to turn into "Lost" which has become a pile of crap because they refuse to answer any questions. Something needs to happen and happen soon.

that was some serious brainwashing.

that was really intense

it reminded me of saw a lot with the voice and the tub and them waking up in a strange place

Are you trying to see it on revver or on the lg15 homepage? The revver site wasnt working for me, so try lonelygirl15.com

I have to laugh at your phrasing. I can almost hear a Scooby villian in the distance: "If it hadn't been for those Meddling Kids . . . "

Here's a serious psychological question. The "torturers" spent all their Bree efforts trying to get her to do the ceremony, and all their Jonas and Daniel efforts on trying to get those guys to go away and, more specifically, not to come back for Bree. Does anyone else feel the Daniel tactic ("she doesn't need you anymore") is way more likely to work than the Jonas tactic (a threat long the lines of "we'll 'disappear' her, just like your parents, if you interfere")? I mean, the boys have *always" responded to Order threats by *getting involved*. Seems to me Jonas is now *more* likely to come back to help the Breester.

lol, i've been refreshing both. nothin on either sites. but i'm trying to refresh the LG15 homepage and it times out. *sigh* i just gotta be patient. Maybe i'll make a PBJ.

Sami, I'm going to watch the vid again. I thought that Jonas was free, but maybe I'm wrong.

It made a liar out of me so hopefully it will for you too. =]

Even you can hear it, I'm sure...it's that crackling sound whenever the oh-so-scary voice talks. It's a sign either the recording device couldn't handle the volume of what was recorded, or, what's more likely in this case, it's generated artificially through filters on the audio.
Nevertheless, assuming they have a decent software for video editing, they should have been able to reduce the volume of the offending parts of the track, and/or just cut out entire frequency ranges.

What's annoying me about this video are mostly two things:

It's another case of "illogical video" - why the hell would anybody post this? If BD&J had posted this, it would include footage of Jonas punching Mr. Scary Voice in the face and them all escaping. If it was a report from an Order-Interrogator to his superiors, he'd either show the entire footage, or only relevant parts - meaning no footage of Daniel trying to wake up Jonas, and no footage of them just drunkenly almost falling asleep. And most definitely not such a "dramatic" ending. The video as a whole, in its concept, just doesn't make sense.
And then there's the oh so scary voice. It's just passionless. Not authentic. An evil scary g-man who just drugged three people up and abducted them - and what do we hear? An indecisive, defensive, semi-evil voice.
Simple example: At around 60% of the video, Daniel asks "Who are you?".
As an evil cult-agent who's totally in control of the situation, and wants answers NOW, you'd firmly say "That is of no interest to you!".
...what does Daniel get? "That's...not...important." Oh. Scary. It almost sounds like The Voice doesn't even know how to react to that question. As if he hadn't taken into account his abductees might actually ask questions back. It's just ridiculous. It destroys the atmosphere. The idea of a distorted voice from the dark in itself is kinda campy, but it could have worked - if executed right. But this is just...bad. It's more like P.Monkey playing a prank on them than a threat to their life and the breaking of Bree's will.

islandlove - thank you, I was trying to remember that movie and for some reason the name wasn't coming to me lol. This reminded me of Saw too. Which sucks.

Anyways. I hate hate hate this style of filming. It almost makes me not want to watch them. It's just so crappy.

All the actors (except the voice over guy, he was annoying) did great though.

So they told both DB and Jonas they should go home, that Bree doesn't need them. I don't where you guys think they want Jonas to stick around. I heard them tell them Both they need to go home.

It was something like "Bree is fine, She wanted me to tell you thank you for everything you have done, but she doesn't need you now, you should just go home" (that's not word for word but it was something like that)

So I think DB and Jonas are going to be let go. They'll get a hold of Tachyon and hopefully they will do some major Order kicking ass instead of just escaping and running again.

I still hate this style of the filming/video I hope they don't keep it.
