Logically, it makes sense that Daniel did not know Steve and would be less trusting of him than Jonas, and it is understandable that Jonas chose to go with Daniel over Steve even though he did not 'totally agree' with Daniel.<BR/><BR/>I think the audience is reacting in part based on seeing the KM finale videos with Charlie and Steve working together, seemingly, to escape the Order. Didn't Daniel see those videos in his 'research' of Steve? That storyline did have Steve appearing on the wrong side of things due to his HOO ties and involvement in kidnapping Lauren, but in the end he gained a good deal of credibility.<BR/><BR/>I think the mistrust of Steve was not horrible in itself, but perhaps the choice to separate from him should have been expressed in the story under different circumstances, i.e. with the group under duress from some threat (they choose to ignore Steve's advice), or with them dropping Steve off at the airport or in the city while excluding him from their next plan. Leaving him by the highway just didn't seem immediately motivated or necessary.<BR/><BR/>I also think, more generally, that this story arc seemed to lack resolutions. Carruthers was never encountered (just his workplace). None of the people trying to kill Jonas or the others has been eliminated, althought Salinas has been identified. Steve's conflict with Rupert had a continuation without resolution or new information. We did find out what the Michele Clore DVD was about, and that was cool. And the introduction of Salinas is interesting. But I think there is an overall sense that not much moved forward or changed much in any of the characters lives.<BR/><BR/>Daniel still has a drinking problem. Jennie still likes Jonas, who has Bree issues. Charlie still likes Steve, who has Order issues.<BR/><BR/>It probably would have been more satisfying to the audience to have Steve and Jonas accomplish something together despite Daniel's doubts, and then have Steve need to return to London for some other pressing reason, parting company with a handshake, and a sense of shared mission to 'fight the order.'<BR/><BR/>Well, we will stay tuned to see the aftermath of these strange events...QtheChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218758159201317186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-83825779752674634282008-05-03T17:18:00.000-07:002008-05-03T17:18:00.000-07:00Am I the only one who wants Lauren to post a video...Am I the only one who wants Lauren to post a video on Monday going "We've found something out about the elder!

If they want to get rid of someone, they should go after Michelle Clore. <BR/><BR/>I've been watching LG15 sporadically the past couple months because I haven't been as interested in the story as I was before. I admit I'll probably watch the next several KM and LG15 videos to see what happens to Steve, but I don't really feel connected to any of the LG15 characters anymore. Daniel and Jonas are always reacting instead of thinking ahead, and Gina and Jennie are afraid to stand up to the guys.

These people are supposed to have gone through enough of this to treat these moments better. Otherwise, and it has been said a handful of times here, the audience stops caring about the characters. <BR/><BR/>That is the A-#1 rule of what not to do in any piece of fiction. If the characters act so illogically that we stop caring, then the creative team has failed. And right now, you know what I care about in this Breeniverse? What happens to Steve. That's it.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I'm out of line speaking for (almost) everyone when I say FIX THIS. <BR/><BR/>Shit, I could even hope to see Jonas or Daniel or all of them sit in front of the camera and just apologize, one of those "a lot of you on the forums said..." videos, but this time, it's not about solving a puzzle.
