Where do you stand?
Our heroes have faced many hurdles over the past year. As this week comes to an end, another milestone looms as threats become imminent, loyalties are tested, and friendships are strained. In the past, they have turned to you, the lonelygirl15 community, for advice and support. Maybe it’s time to consider which side you’re on.
Use the comments below to tell us where you stand. Maybe Daniel, Jonas, Sarah, Jennie, and Gina will seek your guidance.
Where do you stand?

TAAG needs to work together and kill the Shadow

Joan is a Mole!

This is foreshadowing some major shake-ups within TAAG… I wonder if we won’t end up seeing Jonas heading off on his own while DB leads TAAG in another direction to fight the Order and protect Gina…. and it’ll all be due to revelations in the P. Monkey E-mail…

they need to stick together!!!
FIGHT THE ORDER!
March 1st, 2008 at 12:59 am
They have to work together.. they need each other. Every time they have split up or gone in different directions, something bad happens. Consider this, do you think Jonas would have survived the attack at his parents’ house when those guys burst in wanting Emma if Daniel hadn’t shown up?? If Jonas had stayed with the gang they could have stopped him from handing Emma over to Claire. And look at Sarah, she gets completely brainwashed down in Mexico without the gang with her. Things aren’t going to always be perfect but together they can stand a better chance of preventing things from being a complete disaster. Not to mention, consider this, in horror movies characters always get killed when they split up.

I do think they should try to change up their tactics…but I don’t want them to split up. They should all stick together. But they can talk it out. They need to learn more about who they are fighting.
March 1st, 2008 at 9:32 am
They really need to stick together! Everytime when they’ve split up, something bad happened. Just like in movies, when a group splits up, it’s always going wrong. They need to carefully think about what they’re going to do next, now that Gina is gone. They need a plan and everybody needs to stick with the plan. Only when they work together as a team, they will eventually defeat the Order.
March 1st, 2008 at 12:24 pm
bad things happen when everyone is not together and it appears Emma wont be with them, so i’m worried about Emma she don’t have competent people looking out for her every minute of the day. there has to be a way to defeat the order. if they can get all the elders into 1 building and boom there is no longer a need for trait positive girls and they can all live normal lives again Emma and Gina can be free, jonas’s parents can adopt Gina then too so she has a family.

As much as following Jonas blindly has gone bad . . . they can’ just go back to being led by Daniel. Even though Daniel likes to think it out for the most part, the last time Daniel actually took charge, he and Bree eventually ended up on the streets. Or the kidnapped a kid.
The Order has to be confronted, but we can’t just fall for every LaRezisto either . . . or get stuck on a Semi-Truck, etc.
There should seriously be a balance of Jonas/Daniel methodology.
Then again, we got some strong characters in Sarah and Jennie. They should seriously consider their input as well — we all know Sarah hates being “Alfred”
March 1st, 2008 at 12:39 pm
I STILL think Sarah is evil….Sorry guys, but She seems just too “ehhhh whatever” nowadays…She is trying to distract everyone from reaching the goal….Take down the ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s what I was going to say… Every time the TAAG are not together, something bad happens to them. Have you ever heard the old saying: “There is strength in numbers.” Adding on to what Annie said, the most recent example of the TAAG splitting up and something bad happening would be Gina leaving to go to Lucy’s apartment, and the TAAG almost getting caught/getting caught by Lucy and the Shadow…

United we stand, divided we fall.
March 1st, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I still think there’s something fishy about Jonas. Not that he’s part of the Order, but that he has some connection that he hasn’t told us. And he’s struggling with it…. and has made a lot of bad decisions as a result.
As I mentioned in the forum, I’m big on plot explosions. Like the ones that are happening now! Awesome. I still love Jonas to death, though. So…. I guess I will be on his side.
But Daniel is awesome, too. I think I’m gonna have to stick with Jonas… even if he is evil.
March 1st, 2008 at 2:28 pm
PS Can someone explain the chart at the top? Usually when a bar is full it means that that option got 100% of the vote…. but in this case that isn’t true. Not a big deal, I’m just confused.
March 1st, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Bring on the spy stuff!
Sarah should continue to raise hell and alienate the others and then leave to rejoin the Hymn of One … while really working undercover to infiltrate the Order and find out what can be done to counter Carl and Lucy’s activities.
Jonas should spend some of his unlimited wealth to “gear up” the team with electronics (for communication), a Scooby van/submarine/airplane, and other James Bond / Batman equipment and non-lethal weapons as needed. Oh, and a high tech cat suit for Jennie, of course, will be critical to their success.
Daniel and Gina should delve into her mysteries.
Taylor should return as the tech/geek at a secret communications center - to coordinate with the others / solve puzzles / gather intel, etc. Spencer could be her advisor, making occasional cameos as she consults to him online about specific chemistry or bio related questions that arise.
And Mallory should return as evil and insane.
March 1st, 2008 at 3:42 pm
I forgot to mention Emma - perhaps an entirely new storyline should be considered for her popular character - one were she is on an active mission of her own (such as tracking down a private school where trait positive girls have been sent or some such)… her inspiration could be the season finale (wants to understand the biology behind her trait positive blood) and her desire to user her power/special status to protect her adoptive parents from any retribution by the Order for leaving the Hymn of One. Emma might also want to learn about her own origin & biological parents - was she also “aquired” by some elder the way Bree and Gina were according to Dr. Hart’s last video?
March 1st, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Wow, so many typos…
were -> where
user -> use
aquired -> acquired
March 1st, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I’ve always been of the opinion that the gang should stop.
Stop talking at each other, and talk to one another.
Stop moving for one day, stop doing everything, sit down.
And deal with all the leads that they’ve never stopped to explore.
The resistance documents from Jonas’ cabin. The shoebox. The P. Monkey email.
EVERYTHING. Stuff we haven’t seen in the videos that might be in a box in Jonas’ attic. Whatever. Retrace all their steps. Examine all their belongings so The Order isn’t tracking them. Think logically. Watch all their own videos again.
Whatever they know up to this point - how to deal with The Order, where they can go to hide. Who their friends are.
Basically, take stock. Make sure they’ve thought of everything. Then make a group decision. Take a vote instead of letting one person make the choice. Be smart.
March 1st, 2008 at 8:28 pm
There better not be another cast shake-up this season.
I’ll be very very very angry.
March 1st, 2008 at 8:39 pm
I want to learn more about the story. More about everything that started the series off.
March 1st, 2008 at 8:49 pm
i voted for not following Jonas blindly, although i also think they should stick together. i happen to trust jonas, but he can’t always be right. however, above all, they should stick together. i could say a lot of quotes on this topic (strength in numbers, united we stand divided we fall, etc.) but yeah.
also, i wish emma would come back and stay with the group.
March 2nd, 2008 at 12:23 am
Is Emma gone completely?? =(
March 2nd, 2008 at 1:43 am
They must have Jonas period….I think they shouldn’t put all the pressure on Jonas as they have been, but they need him. I like him being the driver..it makes me happy.
The latest video, Gina is gone….was great. It showed that Jonas will act to save Gina ….QUICK, but doesnt’ know exactly where to go and he says it…that means he NEEDS Daniel to be there to help him. They need each other!!! Gosh,l why does everyone hate Jonas now a days?
I will not be able to watch it if Jonas leaves…I’ve been really sad recently because of his character seeming to almost fade out of the videos. I really hope it’s not because of all the people who don’t recognize how much pressure is placed on him and that TAAG has always looked at him for guidance instead of giving information as well. He is a human, he does make mistakes.
But nooo eeeeeeveryone thinks Jonas is the perfect male that doesn’t make any mistakes what-so-ever. Hmph. I’m angry at people who think this. Follow him blindly as long as he stays!
March 2nd, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Some people seem to think they should stop following Jonas blindly and reconsider things… Anyone have any thoughts on this course of action, other than the “stay together, strength in numbers” thoughts? I’m curious why so many folks voted that way.
March 2nd, 2008 at 5:04 pm
Hmm…they should all work together..but that requires them needing to make descisions together…to stop and consider the consequences of what they do. so..they should change their current philosophy..but by all means, they should go ahead and use it to fight the order succesfully!
March 2nd, 2008 at 8:30 pm
STAY TOGETHER, i mean everyone. You guys need to get back Emma. Or just keep an eye on her. You dont know if the Order knows where Emma is. I have a lot more i wanna talk to you about but i dont have time so just say if you wanna talk to me. Im here for ya. bye
March 3rd, 2008 at 11:27 am
no. 3 sounds like “watching paint dry!” no way!
March 3rd, 2008 at 1:13 pm
They definitely need to stay together, but they need to all decide TOGETHER what there next move will be. Even though Jonas has the best intentions, his emotions get the best of him and he often doesn’t make the best decisions. Everyone needs to work together to figure out the next move. If they let one person make the decision and follow along, they aren’t going to get much farther along then they already are. I just wish they listened to each other more sometimes. They should never assume that they will be safe, because someone from the order will always be after them.
March 3rd, 2008 at 2:07 pm
I think that they need to go after the Order/Hymn directly. Go straight for the Deacons and up instead of focusing on other branches that ultimately mean nothing.
March 3rd, 2008 at 4:40 pm
There are 2 members of the group that need to change some areas of their behavior in order for them to stay together.
Jonas and Sarah.
Jonas - First of all I think that everyone is way too critical of Jonas.
He did in fact save Emma’s life.
Had he not involved himself, and what he knew about the HoO / Order, Emma would have already blindly done the ceremony.
But as we all know, Jonas has been known to flip out in a crisis and react to it without discussing or listening to any of his team mates.
This is how and why Clair got Emma. He has to promise himself and the others that he will start trusting them.
Not try to trust them, he needs to just do it. If he does this then he should be able to control his temper and not lash out to whoever is in front of him.
Sarah - She is the opposite of Jonas in that, she tends to make people feel like she has no sense of urgency in a when a crisis has arisen.
She needs to connect with the group on the same level in these situations. I’m not suggesting she gets emotional, but by behaving as if a sticky situation is “no big deal” only distracts the others, causing them to question her commitment to what they are all trying accomplish.
Please remember that I want these two to change their behavior, not who they are.
March 4th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
My complete and honest opinion is that they need to just sit down and figure out the next course of action. By that they need to do a lot of things that COULD hurt them and will open old wounds, but in the long run it will help them:
First, they need to let Gina go to the house and just remember…. there def could be some clues that she remembers that can help the gang.
Second, they need to pour over the old clues… the email, the message from season one, anything else that has yet to be solved….
Third… I recently just watched Season one from the beginning all the way to the most recent vid. I honestly think that by watching what they have done in the past can help them in the future. More like a “this is what we did in this situation, this is what happened, now how can we change the outcome if we were in the same situation in the future?” Like learning from your mistakes.
So, now the problem is that we have a shadow with no elder who wants to kill the gang. What we need is a solution. I really don’t think that splitting the gang up is a good idea, and there is no way they can go back to their old lives…. so the only thing left to do, is to stay together. However, they need to just take a second and clear the air. I know that daniel is mad at gina for bringing “bree back”, jonas is mad at daniel for being mad at gina, jennie is mad at the boys for fighting all the time, and sarah is just there, while gina is just confused at the moment. They need to get over all of their issues and remember why they are doing this: Bree. She wanted them to save the trait positive girls….

You need to find a way to get in contact with emma. That, and there are secrets in the past that need to be uncovered. Figure them out. If you want to split up then split up BUT make sure you each have a goal. Dont split up because your annoyed with each other. For instance daniel focuses on bree and ginas past while jonas searches for emma. Thats a plan.
