Kill these plot devices

consideration · Post by **consideration** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 2:41 pm

-Any more relationships between characters
-Kidnapping (anybody)
-Alcoholism/drinking
-Character has Order ties
-Characters are actually related (hasn't happened yet, but you know)
-Brainwashing and deprogramming
-Motel tour (hopefully this one is dead forever)

This is more of a suggestion than a complaint.

LOL could you please provide a spreadsheet giving us the numbers on these events and character involvement?

Maybe we could have a "pool" or a lottery or something

Thank you for that! I'm guessing you feel the same way I do about the ones in bold being more important?

Either way it's all the discussions about those things that kills me, esspecially the Order ties and the numerous '___ and ___ are brother/sister/whatever' posts and boards, not the fact that it's actually happening. And I realize not much can be done about that because people will always speculate.

Haha, or an LG15 drinking game.

Actually, I think if any one of these "devices" would be used in full force...not in a half-assed sissy kind of way, it could be kind of amusing. Seriously, let's let them all go on a "Fear and Loathing" type binge in the desert somewhere and have a full on, incestuous, disgusting orgy with all the trimmings (ie: bloodletting, farm animals, tin foil hats, elves and Easter bunnies, hot dogs, beach balls, steak sandwiches and bikini car-washes, bubble gum blowing, gypsies, laxatives, axle grease, drag queens, lucite chandeliers, latex ballooons, neon signs, edible underwear, cowboys, glitter, barbed wire, cousins, sheet cake, tutus, strands of pearls, rusty nails, fire, lobsters...etc). Then I want a moonchild ceremony complete with human sacrifice and..and..other stuff even I can't imagine. What would even be the difference at this point? I'd feel less played.

If LG15 became Fear and Loathing, the only thing I would say is

Which isn't really saying anything at all.

The kidnapping stuff really bothered me. I don't care so much about the other plot devices, but I want to second (or third, or fourth) the request for no more kidnappings and tying people up. I never have been able to watch the ones where they had Julia. I kept thinking about her parents

I've been a mom too long to find watching kidnapped kids entertaining, I guess.

There, I've complained about something. Taig, you are a bad influence!
