The forever ongoing unanswered questions is the exact reason I stopped watching lost. As soon as they killed off Echo and blew up the hatch, but hadn't answered anything about why they were there in the first place, I washed my hands of the whole show.

I think LG15 is bordering on that same thing. Though the videos are so short we can't expect too much of them at a time, we have been watching the series for months with almost no payoff what-so-ever. We have come almost full circle back to where we were a while ago -- Bree and Daniel homeless and on the run -- but now we have the millionair boy wonder with them!

I'm not saying that the series doesn't have it's good points or that I am ready to stop watching. I am saying that if there is not some sort of payoff in the form of answering some of the questions and moving into the direction of more questions, I can see getting sick of it in the near future.

I don't want to waste a year of my life watching (another) show that never tells me anything.

And as far as where will the show go if the questions are answered, I think the trio's badass adventures traveling to different cities to break other girls out of the clutches of the Order would be great! They could slowly work to establish an anti-Order organization big enough to take on the Order in a big blazing series finale.

But was it a satisying answer? Really? Not to mention the fact that once they blew up the hatch and killed the last main Taily, they pretty much made the entire season before useless. The entire season before was dedicated to the Tailies and the hatch and they got rid of the whole mess and went on to the next story line without ever having really gone anywhere.

But back to the topic --

The Creators seriously do need to give us something here, and quick. Doesn't have to be the entire book of answers. One big one, or a few little ones. Just something to tell us that they do have answers and aren't just slinging this together as they are filming and making it up as they go along. I want to know that when this is over, we've actually gone somewhere.

Yes, something to make me want to "investigate" again...which is what really, really, really was fun in the beginning.

Looking up all the Aleister Crowley and religion things in the beginning, oh man.

Just wondering if any went and looked up the book "Rebalaning the World" that Mesh (...i think) father gave us the first radio show? The first page is where there idea for "My Lazy Eye" came from. That just made me think of it, Silver.

not that I know of. Maybe in the LGpedia, but I doubt someone would transcribe a 2 hour show.
Mesh's dad was on, and they asked him what he's favorite video was, and he said "Lazy Eye" and that he was surprized that in all the sluething, no one found out where is actually came from. So He gave us the name of the Book (Rebalancing the World) and where in the book (on the first page). Then they joked around a bit about "This is a show about Lonelygirl15. Did you really expect to get answers?" that made me laugh because what we're discussing right now. haha.

I would go look for it at the library, but I have a bunch of over due charges on my card right now, so I don't want to be hounded by it. If no one has it however by tommorow, I'll go up to the library and take my lap top and ind out.

As far as the answers/resolution issue goes, I would imagine that careful and controlled responses to some of the earliest mysteries could solidify the plot by providing purpose and direction to the story for the varied audience (the "investigators" and more "passive" viewers, etc.) I guess it just goes back to the issue of "tying up the loose ends," so the audience can reflect on the overall plot with satisfaction and eagerly accept the new mysteries that are introduced with confidence.

I do acknowledge that it will be quite challenging to resolve some earlier issues while trying to progress the story and avoid simplistic monologues from Bree like, "Soooo, six months ago in my bedroom, Daniel was going to light some candles..." (Not that anyone is suggesting anything that blatant.)

However, I am sure there are techniques for concluding past issues in a story, while continuing to move along a plot line. I hope the writers find their own methods for addressing these concerns that fit with their mode of presentation (videoblogs). As viewers, I guess we find ourselves in the position of gamblers, having to wait and see if this story pays off for us. And because we all have different sensibilities, like most issues in life, I’m sure some of us will get lucky and view the story as a jackpot, while others of us will feel like we lost it all and leave the table busted. Perhaps even others of us will feel that we have broken even. Only time will tell, I suppose.
