re: Cassandra, Alexandra...
In Greek mythology, Cassandra (Greek: Κασσάνδρα "she who entangles men") (also known as Alexandra) was a daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy whose beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy. However, when she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions.
and so on:

If OTS is The Order of the Solar Temple, the creators picked a very crazy cult.
Interestingly (and probably very unintentional), one of the many links about this cult came from a site called "The Watchmen Expositor", an ultra religious site who watches cults and other religions.

Any other ideas who they are?

It looks a little too real and too dark for lg15. They commited mass suicide! So I don't think OTS stands for Order of the Solar Temple.

Your probably right. Very strange coincidence though.
Still wonder what OTS stands for.... at the very least it is the more extreme part of the Order.

Heh. Be careful what you ask for around here. People of all genders/sexual orientations will rush to your aid.

I thought Daniel and Bree were holding hands in the parking lot for a minute.
Poor Daniel.
Awesome video, btw.

Very interesting point, Sheginah. I wasn't thinking about the time lapse, but you're absolutely right -- it makes a big difference.
Back then "Alexandra" -- or Alex -- believed in the religion too, didn't she?
the thing is why would they only point out two members of the flock when the religion is so large?
I agree on this comment. They still were significant enough to mention separately And the etc. after their names. What does that mean?

Now, there are a bunch of Cassie spin-offs and the "Swimming" video, but is it possible that Bree's birth name could have been Cassandra before she was placed in her "controlled home?"

That so brings the Bree split personality theory to mind.

Doubt it. Mostly due to the swimming video where Bree mentions Cassie as a common friend with Daniel and herself.

Well yes... but it isn't 100% not a possibility.
And I've never heard the Bree split personality theory...
