I personally think that Gemma does serve a purpose for us, the audience. Had it not been for her, we would've still thought that Bree's relgion was Thelema. I feel that though her videos seem pointless most of the time, her character serves as a bridge between the audience and Bree. Bree doesn't often DIRECTLY communicate with the audience, rather she communicates with Daniel and Gemma (and kinda Jonas) through her videos.

Also, as previously pointed out, Gemma knows much more about The Order than the audience does. Her character can shine light and nudge us in the right direction. For example, the "watcher" eye symbol on the hand of the man in the suit. What the creators can't (in)directly show us and tell us, is shown to us by Gemma.

Or, well, that's I see it. We shouldn't underestimate Gemma. Think about it, The Creators are low on money, would they really hire someone and PAY them if they didn't need them in the plot?

Gemma is us.

I would disagree with the idea that Gemma represents fan research. On the contrary I think that she is pretty close to who she claims to be--a defected Order member who sees what is happening to Bree, feels, compassion because her situation is not so different, and wants to help.

The reason why this might not be so clear from her videos is that she is unable to communicate explicitly because she is still being watched/harassed by the Order. Hence, her videos employ an elaborate form of double talk, where she ostensibly discusses inane and trivial aspects of her life, but is really giving coded messages/warnings to Bree.

It's true that she brings up points that are discussed here, but that should come as no surprise, given that the creators have stated that they read these comments and draw upon them for material.

By the way, does anyone know where the thread was that dealt with why Gemma's "head was cut off" in "Daniel Is Right?"

I think what we've seen over the last 2 weeks is a subtle evolution of the Gemma character. From posing as an old friend and just another fan, to someone who appears to be more deeply involved in Bree and Daniels misfortunes than originally suspected.

The change has been so subtle that most casual viewers don't even see it, yet it's clearly reflected in the forum discussions which have gone from "I hate Gemma, what's the point?" to "There's something not right here. What are her intentions?"

I am curious, what is the consensus on the Gemma is us theory now that she is more sinister? Are we generally more sinister now that we are following Op/Tachyon?
