0214 - "A New Lead" [6/18/07]

[tricky-ticky-tavi]

i liked taylor better when she was kind of unsure of herself and innocent. The whole hickey-getting, cell signal findin', sarcasm doesn't look like it fits her...

It's like she's three different Taylors. Soccerstar, SMRT, SMRTa$$

Hmmmm... maybe she's triplets.

Of course I still like her. I have more questions about her than answers and that makes it intriguing.

well said...

[Captious]

Way to remind me why I don't like Taylor('s vlogs)...
...booooooooooooring. -_-

I guess it looks like Bree's going to do the Ceremony. We don't know where or when. All we know is we can't let her go through with it. Look guys, I know she goes on and on about how happy she is when she's with them, but honestly, I don't believe her.

O RLY? Thank you for pointing all that out...I had missed it in the past 200 videos

She has a forum account, right? Could some admin or mod please change her usertitle to "Captain Obvious"? BK? Pretty please?

YA RLY

[watermelonhead]

it's about f*cking time she does the ceremony.

DANIEL,JONAS---- DONT interrupt or try to take her back.. let her FINISH the ceremony

NIKKI B--RECORD the whole ceremony and post it!

SARAH-- Report to my bed immediaately

[WriterGirl]

I'm just glad everyone's done acting like jackasses and we seem to be getting back on track.

Or, you know, as on-track as this series ever is.

By the way, I think it's totally possible the Wyman Foundation was started by Jonas' parents, and I can't wait to see what we find out.

I'm still kinda lukewarm on Taylor, but she's not completely unbearable.

Also, I'm totally on the Love-for-BrokenAngel's-Avatar train. That's hilarious.

hahahaha. I almost did that myself!

[BrokenAngel]

WOW people, I was only asleep for 4 hours! Ok here we go……..
First, thank you for all the avatar love. I’m glad it made some of you laugh, that was the intention.

Broken Angel: Well, I respect your feelings of renewal, even though I cannot even fathom how a fan can feel that way during this particular time in the series!
True, this is experimental but, as you said, that comment was made at the very beginning. We are close to July now! You would think they might be more familiar with the style and how to tell the story better! The brilliance seems to be something they trip on rather than actually being intended.

Maybe they’re slow learners.... Seriously though, perhaps they are experimenting with the same story arc (the control) told in different ways (the variable).
I do understand how you feel; part of me feels the same. I too am frustrated with the endless story arcs that never seem to come to a conclusion, only leaving us with more unanswered questions. To the point there were aspects of this vid I both liked and disliked I chose to “vocalize” the former and hope for the best.

I am in the camp of those who liked it. I think Taylor was great in this vid, and I enjoyed it much more than the past couple.
Plus, she was positive and found something useful. I like that much better than the whining and fighting. I want these people to start acting like the heroes they could be, instead of the tortured souls they have been. Hopefully they can redirect all their current angst against the Order and use it for good.

I second that.

this could have easily presented the important information as a written blog or another email or maybe a actorless video with pictures and it bieng a recorded voicemail that taylor left DJS a la tigerlilylynn style (which in my opinion would have been more entertaining than this) ... making it a video was bit of a waste of my time... i mean... it distracted me from my ice cream...

OMG LMAO! I’m posting this in BEST POSTS EVAH!!

Is it just me or does it feel like the creators just missed an opportunity at a great action sequence. Some sort of confrontation in the woods. When I was first learning to write I remember a teach telling me that you have to show your reader what happened not just tell them to make something compelling. I'm sure this is not much different. I guess those are some of the pains of a small budget you really can't go through a helecopter in at whim. Ho hum. At least the story seems to be moving.

IMO you hit the nail on the head there. Unfortunately I don’t think Jessica’s schedule has allowed for such events as well.

Also, I'm quickly becoming anti-Taylor. Anyone else feel like she's trying to usurp Bree's throne? I feel like some of her videos are very "Proving Science Wrong" and that is just not cool.

While I do like Taylor I’ve gotten the same feeling. I’m wondering if the creators are trying to find someone to replace Jessica. From what I hear her schedule has been quite demanding. There may be no other choice.

yuck a Taylor vid

[EmiB]

The Wyman foundation has to be the company Bree's dad did "some research for". I agree, it's be cool if they did a tie-in with Jonas's parents.

I am neither for or against Taylor, but I do like that all the videos "edited" by her have a specific style (animations, text, wipes, etc) as opposed to the rest of the gang.

[JustAnotherLonelyGirl.]

but sometimes taylor is a little TOO ess em arr tee for my liking, and a little weird about it too - out of the blue she's a whiz at anything she wants to be, for the convenience of storyline. That's what I'm picking up at least.

Too smrt?

Actually, I agree with you. It's totally weird. I miss when the forum members were the smart ones and the characters just gawked at our solving skills.

ETA: I said this in clues and puzzles but I thought it was cool so I'll tell all of you too..

A few weeks ago, someone mapped out the music to the Be A Part Of Something video and then traced the notes to show that they looked like the twisted ladder (the shape of DNA.. not gonna try to spell the real name).

I noticed immediately that the bar code also takes a similar shape.
I doubt it means anything, but I thought I'd share because it's kind of cool.

[Breepop]

I know it's just a show, but wouldn't Taylor know Jonas' last name? I mean.. uh, when I'm THAT close with a person, I usually find out their last name at some point. So if she did know it, she would have obviously said something. >_>

But yeah. That's a bit of a stretch. Could still be Jonas' last name.

[TOSG]

well, maybe not. but sometimes taylor is a little TOO ess em arr tee for my liking, and a little weird about it too - out of the blue she's a whiz at anything she wants to be, for the convenience of storyline. That's what I'm picking up at least.

Glad I'm not the only one picking up this vibe. It's Taylor Ex Machina.

I guess Nikki didn't like being the patsy.

Broken Angel: I LOVE YOUR AVATAR! I still think kismetologist has the best ever but you get second place! I laughed a lot! I'm still laughing! I want to know where you got it!

By the way, we all have our own opinions. I know I am "bitching" as saralynn put it. I also know that I am definitely not the only one who feels this way! Well, I respect your feelings of renewal, even though I cannot even fathom how a fan can feel that way during this particular time in the series! True, this is experimental but, as you said, that comment was made at the very beginning. We are close to July now! You would think they might be more familiar with the style and how to tell the story better! In TV, a show is not even given a grace period of three episodes, let alone an entire year on the air! Now, I am not saying this series hasn't been great! I think that is why I can't leave it alone. I may always have a bit of hope because of those moments in the series. I just wish they would come more often. !

Exactly.

Wow...not much going on the forums......hope a new vid is coming soon.
