The Belated Finale Commentary

*sighs* Oh---kaaay...

There are a few thoughts going through my mind, right now... and they are all jumbled up in there. I hope that I can make some some sense of it all, and write it up without alienating anyone.

First off, this wild ride is over (for now.) The inaugural season of "LG15: The Resistance" has been capped off and saved for posterity. Season two awaits, but how long of a wait will there be? Fortunately, the Creators have blessed us with a gift of sorts. "The Show is Now Yours". To me, it still sounds pretty intimidating, but then again I'm really quite plain when it comes to video filming and editing. The zenith of my expertise in video is stuck at simple vlogging, which I still do not do very much of because of a lack confidence in my looks. My creative writing capabilities remain at question, as well, since I can never stick onto a single story without getting distracted by another. I have had several concepts in mind, but none without any real meat or conclusion to any of them.

Back to the 12-in-12: It seemed to be a huge success this time. Congratulations all around to the Goodfried duo, and all who participated in this endeavor. One of two questions now loom regarding the series, particularly about characters. Those two characters of course being Sarah and Daniel.

The big "rage" on the chat and forums (and I use that term quite loosely since both entities seem to be almost literal ghost towns, recently) are: The return of the DanielBeast, and Sarah's complete and utter betrayal.
Regarding Daniel, simply put, it's basically been either a "love-fest", or a welcome back "party". Don't get me wrong, the last scene of the finale did have Daniel opening the door to a worried Reed (who had earlier been refererred to as DB 2.0 by the Beast, himself) as he (Reed) had been sent by Maggie in a move that I believe was quite a genius counter when Mags realized everything was in jeopardy.
The meeting of DB and DB 2.0 at the end of the finale sets up an excellent cliffhanger for the beginning of season two, and guarantees that Daniel will be in at least the promos, if not the first episode. I would love to say that Daniel really is back, but when in that video did he say that he would help Reed? Truth be told, I think he would, but only to save Jonas. After that, what then? Jonas might try to get DB to stay, of course, but will he? The only thing that might make Daniel stay is his friendship with Jonas... or putting Sarah down...

Which leads to Sarah's betrayal... I guess people really can't change. We all know she'd been down that path before. Now we know that she had never been on the same path as Jonas, at all; that she were just riding his coat-tails this whole season. What I don't understand is why, when we were being given this information, straight from Daniel (somewhat playing as the voice of the Creators,) that it strikes up heated debates amongst the forums and lg15 chat? It had just been proven that Sarah was with the Order all along. The proof was given to us by the Creators, yet there were still those who felt the need to debate that? Or were they debating on just how evil she really is? That must've been it...

Luckily, everything has calmed down now, and the holiday spirit has continued to befall upon those of us still in the forums or on chat. Feel free to join us, even if just to send your holiday greetings!
