Lonelygirl15

Assuming the writers want someplace to go with the bree's dad's death debacle, and want to successfully deal with the situation in an interesting way, i propose they make bree rebel out and find her a new bad a$$ guy friend who will make her ignore her problems, and do bad things. it will most definitely bring attention, more viewers, and a big leap for bree development. eventually they can have a jonas/beast intervention and keep making the same old lonelygirl15 vids.

what do u think?

I like this...Daniel and Jonas obviously don't "do it" for her so someone needs to come in and breathe some friggin' life into this "dead fish"!!

Hey that's a cool idea. But I don't think we need any new characters.

I think she should make friends with a bada$$ though.. namely TACHYON.
She could work with Tachyon and Brother to fight the Order!

I responded to this in a comment...but I feel I should say it again...

That isn't very Bree-like. She's independent, sure, but that means she won't be depending on a badass boytoy. Plus, she's much smarter than that. [Intellect =/= Maturity]

Also, this series is for social experimentation, not a show using gimmicks to bring in attention. LG15 has gotten enough attention and already has a huge fandom.

That's why I'm saying she should develop a relationship with Tachyon, not some 'boytoy'

Tachyon is super smart and so is Bree. And Tachyon has experience (her sister, supposedly) with the horrors Bree is going through. In fact, I wonder if Tachyon was raised for the ceremony, also.

It wouldn't be that out of character.

Sphynx...Does your suggestion reflect your own desire. You picture yourself in that role - No?

Actually, This premise reeks of misogyny and perpetuates the archaic idea that all a girl needs is a good "Shtupping" and she'll be fine.

This really shows how very insidious male domination is in this society. No one - male or female - seems to have noticed the degrading reality behind the suggestion that all Bree needs is some hottie to come in and take her mind off of things for a while.

"Maybe if you put something shiny in front of her she'll shut up."

The more I think about it, the more offensive this thread becomes. And please, there is no need to rationalize the idea. What has been said already speaks volumes. There is no backpeddling or softening of the idea.

Wow

Well said, Taig. Well said.

I agree with Forgotten Purity -- adding a badass would completely change the tone and intent of the series.

Although I'm a longtime feminist, I don't have the same reaction Taig does to the suggestion. Instead, I think sphinx's suggestion is more based in an inability to imagine plotlines beyond the old cliches.

Bree's no feminist, and she does seem to be waiting for Someone to come along and rescue her. I hope that the story will eventually show her deciding that she needs to save herself, and taking action. Depending on how that development would take place, it could be believable character development -- or just another cliche. I hope the creators have enough smarts to make it the former rather than the latter.
