I just have a simple question to ask: Why are you interest in lg15?

Is it:

A: She's a cute and innocent girl and I like to hear about her girl problems. I hope the story stays this way
B: She's a cute and innocent girl with hints to a dark secret. I hope the plot picks up in that direction but nothing too extreme
C: She's a cute and innocent girl with hints to a dark secret. I hope the plot picks up in that direction and turns into a horror/mystery show
D: I'm just bored and wanted to check out what its all about. I don't really care for anything really

With all the recent discussion about cassie and how the creator are possibly distancing themselves from a darker plot, I just wanted to see what people's real interest are regarding lg15.

B or C.

personally, I'm kinda down for B/C.
or in other words, elements of mystery (from C) but only the semi-dark aspects from B (no rapings or charles manson connections)

freejunk's poll is more informative, as our answers may not fit in one distinct category

I agree, but a lot of lurkers prefer to click and not write. Good luck with your posts!

B or C. But nothing horribly graphic or related to people who were hurt in real life. Sort of like Harry Potter. Normal teen angst with a side of power and mystery on the side. People die in Harry Potter. I mean, we all know this is fake..

I merged these two threads since they were already pretty much the same thing.

Just to clarify, when I said horry/mystery show, I didn't mean anything involving real harm to any1 or anything that's inappropriate. Something along the lines of say...Twin Peaks...

It's interesting how much Twin Peaks has been cropping up with so many different topics here on this forum and the other ones. That isn't random, I think. I mean it's been like what, 11 years?

Uhm, I don't think I need to spell out, that I kinda like TP.

Usually people say they loved the first season of TP, and then got turned off in the second season. Usually, it's because the whole Laura Palmer element had been so hyped in the marketing that people felt betrayed when it turned out that was only the hook, not necessarily the meat of the show.

I think, right now LG15 sports a lot of the winning formula of TP, which is what really draws me to it. I think asking the plot to go one direction or another, is also a simplification of what the Creators are trying to accomplish here, well, if I understand their vision correctly.

But despite plot, there are elements of theme or style which really make LG15 a stand-out for me.

It's the mixture of soap opera elements, with an innocent quirkiness mixed in, all floating around a mysterious, darker core that is only hinted at.

That description pretty much fits LG and TP Season 1. The difference is that LG accomplishes a lot of the same things TP did with a surprising minimalism. I mean we really only have two leads and a pair of legs at this point and it's flying nicely.

So, to get back to the poll, it will be interesting to see which direction it will take. TP failed for a lot of people because the initial mystery was over-hyped and they felt betrayed when it was revealed (even if it was ever so nicely done). Not ever revealing it at all, could be one option. But I think, people would feel equally betrayed if there was never a payoff.

So, as all of this is sloshing around in my head, I am beginning to see the appeal of having several narratives going on at the same time, which I guess is something that will really take some getting used to.

The point being as you resolve one mystery, there might still be another thread emerging, which promises not an even higher pay-off (as it's usually done) but simply a different one.

I also have no problems at all with something darker, as long as it's tastefully done, and original. It's not the style of the Cassie stuff, for example, that put me off, it's the bit where some psycho hijacked it and beckoned people to his secret bat cave in the woods.

Sorry for the longish post, but I'm a verbose kinda guy sometimes, and TP always baits me something wicked Razz
