Also, am not a fan of the fact the "plot" has been "leaked." I mean, cool, let us know that there's a synergy thing happening, but I totally could have done without the deats. Now, for the rest of the week, through the weekend, it's going to be all about finding the guy and tracking him down, etc etc etc, both in videos and on the forums. In the end, none of this speculation is going to get us anywhere.
Kthx.
my father had his PhD by the time he was 22, and one of my closest friends is an astrobiologist (contemplate the possible meanings of this word please) at the age of 23. So let's not jump on the fact that a 22 year old might not have high profile jobs.

however i agree with you about the lead and the future vids, now there's nothing we can do to help because we know where this is going. damnit.

also: kelly i miss you and love you.

I said "hard to believe," not impossible.

I doubt that it has anything to do with LG15, but I thought that was an interesting coincidence.

It's also the building number of this Inn in La Jolla, which is probably what it is and has no effect on the story line either.

I was wrong. the address number 2402 was behind Daniel's head. Plus, in the clues and Puzzle's room, there is a connection with Gilman and a Lajolla health and fitness place, so maybe there is something in the street number thing maybe. Maybe Gilman's not that far from them at all.

Jonas is gonna hurt someone soon. I hope he still doesn't have that gun of his father's, cause oh man.. he's not in the right state of mind to have a weapon.

Sarah was mature to apologize, even if she didn't do anything wrong. Jonas should've first, but we've all been in a situation where it's better to just diffuse it by apologizing then try to do anything else. She knows better.

Also, it's unusual for them to ask him to leave the premisis if there's simply never been a scientist by that name there. "Sorry, perhaps you've been sent to the wrong place?" would be logical.

Either he's in there and they're hiding him, or he was there once but left due to something.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That's kind of weird.

ITA. Good on her.

And I'm so glad to see Jonas and Daniel getting along again, even if things still seem a little tense.

This was a good video. Not great, but good. Good acting, as always.

Looking forward to the "twists and turns" The Creators are promising. But no pressure.

Not at all! I felt that his reactions were justified... Also I like Sarah a little bit more now that she apologized. She's acting like she actually cares, which is kinda nice.

ditto

I would be disappointed in Jonas character if he could recover 100% from such a complex situation he just did. Keep in mind the guy gave up his own comforts in life, just found out his parents were in the order and may of been killed by it or institionalized to some degree. That his aunt is not who she seems to be. Was tied up and then kidnapped and drugged. Loved and was betrayed and picked up the bill for all of this to boot. My reaction would be the same, grow up and help or something. And the characters had not been saying anything directly to each other. This was healthy confrontation and to Sarah's credit she did not act like a dip and do something skanky or emo.

When he noticed Sarah being contrite picking the grass, he lightened up on her. Makes sense to me.

I actually thought it was a good video. Sure, Jonas is on the edge, however including Sarah w/o the attitude is awesome. She said she was sorry, and for that (i think Jonas and i would agree) i like her more. It's nice to see her character have a little more depth, not just sarcastic. p.s. still love Jonas.

okay first of all...i am extremely bothered by daniel's get-up here. why are we wearing scrubs and a lab coat? wouldn't one dress in nice, professional clothes if one were taking a meeting with an important scientist? the people at reception probably took one look at him and knew something was up.

do scientists even wear scrubs?

also...JONAS. YOU NEED TO MAN THE HELL UP. He has a serious Dawson Leary complex right now...the dramatic bitching and complaining, throwing little bratty fits. Oh woe is me Joey Potter doesn't like me anymore...shut up dude because I can't bring myself to care.

I feel like Jonas and Bree have become two incredibly unlikeable characters. She's not even a character anymore...can anyone remember the last time we heard Bree speak and sound like Bree? And Jonas has lost what made him hot...i can't tell you what it was cause i don't know but dude has LOST IT.

Daniel--needs a voice. We don't hear enough from Daniel. Does Jonas remember that Daniel has been there with Bree from the very beginning? ...Does Daniel remember?

The only one I like these days is Sarah...

I haven't read the "plot leaks" y'all are talking about. I don't want my already diminishing excitement about this series to ebb any more because of spoilers. *sigh* blah.
