shots

[irenedirks]

why would she be wearing a patch on her arm

if the shots were given by her father as an act against the order??

since now she is held by the order

they wouldn't give her shots to lower her levels???


but I don't really believe the theory either that these HoO films were taped before they left last year

[staticmorning]

they may actually be giving her the epogen shots.. which is what mr. bree's shots would have replaced.

because, seriously, if bree had mentioned shots, but none were required, someone (lucy, her mother, etc..) would realise something was up. but if she was suppose to be getting shots, no one would really know if they were the right ones..

[Killthesmiley]

you know what has been bugging me.

She originally said that the shots were for the order for the ceremony...

now they are saying it is to prevent her from doing the ceremony.

[staticmorning]

she didnt know any better. she probibly thought they were the shots she was suppose to be getting to prepare for the ceremony.

her dad probibly thought he would have time to sit down and explain to her what was going on at some point. but he wouldnt expect to be able to say "hey. i know youre excited to do this ceremony, but the order is evil and im going to pretend to give you the right shots but really give you something else." at lest not until she somewhat understood the sheer evil-ness of the order..

epogen for the ceremony -- more blood cells = more rybozienes?

whateverBree'sDadwasdoing -- wasn't it to water down the blood? like, an anticoagulant or sumthin?



sry i'm speaking b4 knowing my facts, but i coulda sworn this is what's going on.

This is kind of bugging me too.

When Bree decided she wasn't doing the ceremony, didn't Bree's dad admit that he shouldn't have given her those shots, because he didn't even know what he was giving her? I don't really believe the shots were from her dad trying to lower her levels. He seemed on board with the whole thing right up til the end. I guess we'll find out soon...

Actually probably not. But whatever

I think it was just Bree's dad playing dumb so that he wouldn't arouse suspicion, either from us or the Order. Even if he didn't know what is in the injections at first, he was a scientist, so he would've had the equipment to figure out what was in the injections. He would've then done some kind of switcheroo so that the Order thought Bree was getting the normal preparatory injections but was actually getting something to depress her ribozyme count. Everything else (the iron pills, the diet, etc.) would've remained the same so as to avoid arousing suspicion.

It would be a very risky plan, but for a father ready to bolt from the Order to protect her daughter, it would be doable.

I think someone in another thread mentioned that blood's not a good source for RNA. Red blood cells have no nucleus.

[dixiemccoy]

Anyone else think Bree's dad might have duped the Order into thinking the shots were helping and all this secrecy to get the RNA info to us/Bree was to put her at ease about it all?
