everybody knows why every episode of the series needs a cliffhanger. however in the LG15 series, there is a serious logic error.

basicly, we buy into the idea that when Bree and Daniel or Jonas post a video, they are going to share with us any and all important information that they have gathered up until the date of the video post.

for example, the recent video "looking for daniel" ends with jonas and bree driving up a mountain. did they stop at an internet cafe halfway up and post the video? if so, why didnt they include something about that in the video? sort of a "weve been driving for four hours and we're going to post a video... and tell you what happens asap"

anybody agree with me? i mean, who makes a cliffhanger ending to a vlog? its just downright rude.

well i agree
but remember i don't think we are to consider this a vlog anymore

its just filmed that way.
I'd say its more so a character narated drama

They often upload video's when it's unlikely they could. I try to ignore it, to enjoy the story

it seems more forced to say "i'm going to upload this video, then" constantly.

if they post it, they obviously uploaded it. they don't need to sign off each time.

If I put myself in the place of a video blogger, I think I'd use the theory
of "leaving them wanting more so that they'll come back." They have always shown interest in video editing and stuff like that. I think they enjoy making entertaining videos. You just have to look to Youtube to see that people want the popularity and fame for their videos. I think it's clear that they want more then just to get the info out. It's fun for them, and at this point in their lives they don't have a lot to enjoy. Their lives are ripped out from under them, and the videos is a bit of their old life to hold on to. So if I was in their place and had an interest in vbloging, I'd want to make it fun and flashy maybe with the odd cliffhanger or misleading statement like Daniel did about hooking up with Bree.

I get what you are saying about the cliffhangers. It's a little frustrating, but at the same time, they have to keep the fans wanting to come back and see what's going to happen next.

Even as this is supposed to be a vlog, it's also a series that has to have fans logging in to see it, or it's a failure.

There is a very fine line between what's plausible and what's probable. I think the Creators are doing a pretty good job not crossing too far into either lane.
