Off the cuff?

Does anyone else have the feeling that this story is going nowhere?

I don't feel like this story is going nowhere, but I do wish it would hurry up and get where it is going.

It's going somewhere, just very slowly. It's a result of the medium that's being used, unfortunately. Since they're still going for the semi-real vlogging format, it's inevitably going to be slow. Very little story progression at any one time, short videos, etc.

No way---all of this is leading up to something!

Agreed.

Eep, the story is moving in slo-mo.

It does kinda seem like the story just keeps going around the same route.
It needs to pick up. Soon.

It probably does seem slow when you consider television and movies.

When you consider real life, though, it seems to be progressing pretty typically. And that's what this is supposed to resemble: real life.

I have to agree with BK. Plus, if the story moved too quickly, we wouldn't have enough time to talk about each episode and develop all the fun and wacky theories we like to come up with. For me, that's a big part of the fun.

I think it's going somewhere. I, and probably most of us, have just been spoiled with the near-instant gratification of network tv and Hollywood movies.
*sigh, twiddles thumbs, waits*

Maybe my life moves faster than others...but this doesn't move like real life to me. It reminds me of the serials when I was a kid..."Tune in next week to find out if little Jimmy gets out of the burning building." (Even though he was struggling in last week's show, too.)

Agreed, however, it would be nice to find the happy medium for this show's pace. I'm not expecting the instant gratification of television and movies these days...but a few more relevant plot points invested in each video would be very nice. Many theories that were made a long time ago haven't been proven or disproven because the storyline hasn't reached that point. (And I'm not talking about the far in the future predictions.)

The show is an innovative step, granted...but this is definitely an issue that needs to be tweaked, soon.

I'm pretty sure the LG15 series is going somewhere. Why do you think the creators are deparately in need of money now?

Something'll happen, maybe not soon, but something will happen.

*waits*

Soap Operas can run for years with no major development in the plot. Watch an episode once every six months and you're pretty much caught up.

With soaps, you don't even get the fan intereaction yet those fans are rabid.

You're 100% right! That's an excellent point.

That's also the #1 reason why I don't watch soaps. lol

Me neither. That can wait until I'm rocking chair bound.

I never had any serious problems with the show's pace before Bree and Daniel hit the road. Since then, I think the series has gone off-track (no pun intended).
