Ok. I have a theory on the "Water Show at the Bellagio" footage. Some were thinking it was advertising...

That was the beginning of an "ARG" of sorts, to market the new OS, Windows Vista. It was called "Vanishing Point".
So my speculation is that we are seeing this as a sort of homage to a successful game interaction, and perhaps as an indicator of why we see the Three Musketeers in Vegas
Also, in regard to the mentioning of being found in Vegas, I have to gloat a little...
Which, in regard to that, here is the coordinates of what I believe to be the Truck Stop. Just south of Barstow, Ca. On the way from LA to Vegas.
34 51 11.80 N 117 05 05.70 W
Furthermore, and I believe it may have been discussed a little bit here already, her mention of keeping things PG.
All I can say to that is, thank you.
That was the premise many moons ago, and the introduction of certain elements to the mix caused a momentary departure from that noble beginning. I am glad to see a return to PG content.
If my suspicion that we may be seeing an introduction of more interactive content in the near future, especially as indicated by the foreshadowing of the Bellagio Water Show, my hope is that it also will maintain a sensitivity to the audience that it caters to by keeping interactions discrete.
Perhaps also Bree is refering to the forum discussions that can often take content of the videos and analyze them with a mind toward the lurid or lewd. By experience here, there has been no confirmation of any such intent, and so any speculation on this basis is quite inappropriate to say the least.
If there was any underlying meaning to the conversations being had by D/B/J, it can be assumed that they are either story related or otherwise innocuous.
An example perhaps of appropriate discussion in regard to ambiguous meaning in dialogue might be along these lines (again, if I might be so bold as to quote myself).

However, what first came to mind when I saw it was the last footage that I saw of the Bellagio Water Show... which was here.malan89 wrote:
This video looks like one big ad for the Bellagio. If they didn't get paid off....they should've!

Oh. This just came to me. Those machines on the left. Video slots? This is what kinda struck me too, they were driving in the desert just the other day, and there's only 2 ways to the desert in Cali, out the 10 to the east, or up the 15 to the northeast.
So, going out on a limb, are they in Vegas? The desert did look a little more Nevada than Arizona.

Anywho. May I also say what a wonderful job is being done with the editing, even on the run. (I love it when they run, so exciting)PinkRanger wrote:Good point! It did seem as though the word was emphasized quite a bit. And I think you're right...all this talk of spinning could be referring to different spins that people can put on stories, events, etc. With regards to the media, media stories are constantly given a different spin based on who is reporting the story, writing the article, and so on. This shows how you can't take everything at face value and that is definetly true for J D and B.subterfuge wrote:Well, I was just thinking, with all this talk of "spinning" in the video, that it might have something to do with things spinning out of control on the forums here (with regard to recent events/non-events) or the "spin" that individuals have put on the same matter. The word did get a lot of play in this vid, and I couldn't see exactly how it related to anything in D/B/J 's immediate circumstance.
Just my humble thoughts.

), it should be pretty easy to tell when it's a private vid. 
. And now that I think about it, it's a bit surprising that they were able to outrun the Order and escape if Daniel and Jonas were indeed drunk 
. They must have rehydrated before the chase
