However, for months now, we were lead to believe that 10/12/06 would be the day that the ceremony would occur, and the day that the roof would be blown off of the whole LG15 story.
Contrary to what we were all expecting (and frankly, contrary to any sort of story/book/movie/play that I have ever seen), the "climax" of the story was anything but. Add to this the frustration that many of us feel about CiW leading to a bloody simulation game, and perhaps you'll see why so many of us are unhappy.
A lot of us, no doubt yourself included, have invested time and interest into the LG15 story and we were waiting for a big boom, or at the very least an actual cliffhanger... we received neither.
Please don't think that we wanted to see the characters hurt (well, maybe some people did, there's always a few people like that no matter what you're in) it's just that... well, my best analogy would be to pull out Harry Caray, beloved announcer of the Cubs, and the way that he called home runs. Harry would get us all going, screaming, "It could be...! It just might be...! It could be...IT IS!!! HOLY COW!!". LG15 has been like months of the "It could be..." only to end with, "Nope, sorry... no. Not gonna tell you where it went, but no".
Ok, I'm gonna try and post this without screwing up cause I'm laughing like a fool over here. All I can think of is Will Ferrel's impersonation of Harry Caray on SNL!!
10/12/06 WAS the day of the ceremony. Daniel's video had that date on it. As for the "roof" being "blown off" thing, did the producers ever come right out and say that all the answers would be revealed that day? No, we as the viewers did. It wouldn't be the first time in a narrative where we believed something big was going to happen but either 1)didn't or 2)it was something we weren't expecting at all. I understand why you'd feel that the ceremony should have been a climax, or a cliffhanger, but it wasn't. So does that mean that that was the only chance in the storytelling FOR a climax?
I just thing that all of us were too quick to place all sorts of importance (storyline wise, not Bree's religion wise) on the date, thinking that it was going to be some big bang that was going to really shock or whatever. I think we all need to keep our faith in the Powers that are Bree (PTAB
)And throughout that whole diatribe, I still cant get "Hi, Harry Caray here!" out of my head.
Or she could have at least gone missing and Daniel could have gone road tripping to find her... In that suggestion no-one gets hurt 'cept the environment... UNLESS! Daniel drives a hybrid car in which case... umm.. nvm I digress...
