0069 "On The Run" [11/07/06]

[echoesofury]

Someone asked what the little radio blurbs were saying (after Bree says "I think it's time for a break"), so I decided to post what I heard.

Couldn't make out the man's voice, but the woman definately said something like

"And finally, the last question that is smathering/scattering? the voters" so I'm guessing it's election coverage.

Makes sense since yesterday was election day.

BTW, I've never posted here but I read it a lot, so "Hi!".

[laurenesque]

I tried to lighten it up a bit, which didn't help so much because it's digital and blocky. But it did help me see what I think are some obvious facial features, and yes-- it does look like the deacon is looking at the camera.

So I guess Daniel has a laptop and a WiFi connection.

Ya know?

Many hotels have wireless or in-room Internet access. Since they were heading to a hotel, we should probably assume that's where they posted the video (and edited it - and if they were bored, why not edit it and put in a song?).

awesome video. why didn't they follow her parents. now they have no idea as to where they're going, they're just driving.

[lonelygirl]

Ok, I have to start by saying that I thought this was an excellent video. It gave us just enough of Lucy and the deacon and Bree's parents. The note and money in P Monkey was a really good touch and I thought very realistic.

Based on the way that her parents walked out to the car, they obviously weren't abducted, but that doesn't mean they weren't threatened or coerced. Did you notice how her dad was hanging his head in the back seat? Definitely not a happy camper. Are they perhaps using the parents to lure Bree into some kind of trap? It would seem to be one reasonable possibility.
I'm sure there are other possibilities, both reasonable and way out there:)

Right now, I'm just happy we got a vid! And it was a good one!!!!!

the thing is i think the organization, whatever it is, is powerful enough that if they wanted to take or kidnap bree they would just do it. they probably knew where she was when she was at daniel's house. were those people leaving from her parent's house?

[lonelygirl]

Okay, we know one new thing at least: one of the Deacons is male. I was beginning to think, based on some of the theories I've read on the forum, that all of the higher-ups in the cult might be female. This vid kills that theory.

"I spy with my little eye." Bree mentions this game several times. Maybe a clue? I know the Eye of Horus was mentioned a few times in the writings about Egyptian mythology that I've read.

Bree's parents didn't appear to be resisting Lucy and the Deacon, but maybe they were warned that if they did so, Something Bad would happen.

What did Bree's parents say in the note they left inside P. Monkey? Bree doesn't seem especially concerned about her parents, or about the whole situation for that matter -- unless the way she copes with intense stress/fear is to revert to childish behavior.

There were some speeded-up parts to the soundtrack again. Can the technical whizzes on the forum figure out what's being said on those parts?

And is there any significance to the song that's being played? "I Will Light You On Fire" -- could that be a reference to something that will happen during the ceremony?

she was concerned, she cried every several hours. didn't you hear what daniel said?

Hmm...what you said is an ear kind of looks like part of the shadow of whatever it is that is in the background (see that dark line that runs horizontally in front of the silhouette?). Headrests also curve into the seat like in the picture.

I also played with the picture to try to lighten if further, but my results never got any better than the one you posted.

If this were a person, looking at the screen, why would it be so dark? Even given the chance of a person sitting in a bit more shadow, they are barely 2 feet away from each other, and yet I can't pull up any flesh tones at all on the "figure" in the front seat. Not to mention, even with Bree's dad's head bent down, he's quite a bit taller than the "figure" in the front seat. The Deacon did not look like a short man. Not to mention, where the heck is his neck, if that is a person.

Nope, I'm standing by my original claim, that this is a headrest, which I think is quite obvious when you actually go back and look at the video.

Edit to add, if he is facing the camera, what the hell kind of ear is that nub?

[lonelygirl]

hmm...I am begining to think that the "deacons" don't want Bree to do the "ceremony" for any religious purpose, but instead has something to do with her having the right DNA. See I think the "deacons" are really scientists and the "ceremony" is really an experiment, and the scientists have just been using this whole religion thing as a front.

ha...I know this is a wack idea...but it'd be such a twist if this was really the case.

it doesn't sound too wack to me. it's leaning less towards a religion.

I thought something like that too. Because if Bree's dad is a doctor as it has been so strongly hinted, I don't think he would join a Thelemic cult. What rational professional would want to become a Thelema. Aleister Crowley's writings are incoherent blathering and a bunch of mumbo-jumbo.

but then what professional, esp a doctor would inject their daughter w/ an unknown substance?

[Kasdeja]

You'd be suprised what people would do for their religion.

Maybe he isn't a physician. Maybe has a degree that allows him to be called "doctor"...

Maybe he got his medical degree in some strange third world country...

Maybe he's one of those people who are really intelligent, but have no common sense...

Or maybe he's just a blind follower of a faith that has him convinced that they have their followers best interests at heart and he should just do whatever they tell him to do. It happens.

For the curious, I took some screen caps :


Lucy & Bree's folks


Lucy


Deacon Baldy McCreepy


Bree's dad lookin' pretty bummed out in the back of the car.

am i the only one who thought bree's dad is alot younger than expected?

[ford0067]

I still say Daniel is in on it. The Deacon planted the note and left the money. Daniel didn't suggest following because he doesn't need to, he knows where everyone is at.

Daniel job is to drive around and keep Bree occupied until ceremony time. They probably hunt for mom and dad track them down to some obscure camp tucked in the middle of the woods somewhere and BANG the trap will spring.

Just my theory ... not that it is worth much.

EDIT: to correct my poor typing

[Kasdeja]

I don't think so...but who knows. I'd hate for daniel to be a bad guy...and I think it would make this series very unpopular with the fan base as well.

Oh...and someone said something about the dad being younger...is he one of the creatatrons?
