let's see what the other sources of commentary are saying:

... I would say that the writer`s strike was guilty of it, but the Creators write their own material, right? [milo adds: the strike is having no effect on lg15, and even if it did, wouldn't so soon.]
So, the strike is not to blame - but this was the lamest vid they ever had been showing in the whole show... When Bree did "proving science wrong" or talked about her research, it was fun and entertaining. This vid just was - BORING!
Hell, Creators, let something happen. What about a re-appearance of Sonia and an explanation of what has happened to her? There lies a lot of potential for a good storyline. Or let Sarah talk Mal and Dan into "voluntering" for the lullaby-project. Or tell us what happened to Alex or show us a bit more about Carl or Bree`s mom.... Creators, you can do better! At the moment, KM is the more interessting show...

I don't think they are that bad. It's just annoying when she puts in the sounds and stuff. She needs to make them quieter. They overpower her voice.
Anyway, I just think it's weird that, when the serum was first made, it was one small vial that could only be made with trait positive blood. They never informed us of making any more using Emma's blood or anything, so, presumably, there is enough for Emma to have taken it several times, then stopped, and then restarted from the beginning, taking it several more times, AND for some to magically transport to Spencer, who sent it to Charlie in England, who gave Kate enough serum in one shot to supposedly make her trait negative.
Maybe Bree only died because they took half her blood before the ceremony for the goddamn serum. JEEZE.

... What im having trouble comprehending is, she was sick the last time she made a vid. Then this time around shes, meh so-so but still sickly with slightly different symptoms, but main point: Still sick. Needless to say, the hamster in my head has just died, so...*Reaches in box and puts another one on wheel* There. So anyways, it is mine and my hamsters opinion that perhaps Emma is continuously sick due to these injections shes been receiving.... Sooo, the injections shes receiving may not be making her trait - at all, but maybe they're just making her gradually weaker until finally her parents can just cart her out of there and do the ole' Vampire shuffle. .... Though Emma's videos are kind of cute, in my mind she is still no Bree (No im not looking to start a fire fight, just saying..) so I would just like to see the plot move forward. And if this IS the plot moving forward, then I just wish they'd make it a little more interesting already. This new hamster can only last so long C's, and the pet store owner is away on vacation, so don't let me down.
2. Already deleted LGPedia notes (which are usually a source of humor if you go find them):
"This video was delayed because of the writers strike."
edit justification: (this is unsubstantiated and besides, 2 days is a pretty normal gap between vids)
3. The Comment Board (which is fairly positive, though other people chime in quickly to say that emma is not bree)

are you joking
[responding to early comments that emma is getting close to being like bree, in a good way]? bree was waaaay more fun than emma, does anyway think taht these dreams are anything like kates dreams from kate modern? she had crazy dreams too, however, far more terrifying and abstract… but crazy none the less…

The Creators are trying to make another Bree with Emma. I mean, the show is called “Lonelygirl 15″ not “Jonas and Friends”, so I guess you can’t blame them for trying.
Sadly, tho, Emma is no Bree.

emma isnt trying to be bree.. and katherine does a great job playing emma. not easy since all you people keep trying to compare her to bree either. the actors can only do what the script says to do too...
[Milo adds: Isn't that the problem, though? Did Jessica Rose somehow feel out a consistent way to be "Bree", where Katherine is being left swinging and scripts that go every which way?]mowse November 7th, 2007 at 6:09 pm
just my opinion, but I do think people sometimes confuse not liking an actor and their acting ability with not liking the way they are portraying a character, and although they might have some creative control I think the Creators most likely have a vision for the kind of character they want them to present. I’d actually be interested in hearing some constructive criticism from those who say they think Katherine is not a good actress. Exactly what about her portrayal of Emma do you find not credible or any less credible than Bree’s? Of course I understand it is sometimes just a “feeling” or lack thereof and everyone’s entitled to their opinion. I for instance do not think Keeanu Reeve’s is a good actor, even though he’s played several different characters they have all seemed like he’s portraying the same person. Personally I think to judge someone’s acting ability you need to see them play more than one character. Incidentally I think one of the worst actors of all times is Freddie Prinze Jr.

Yay!!! I was 1st for the lamest vid yet
Zarbod (14 hours ago) I had a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.' I had a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

OK let's go ahead and do the ceremony and try for a Bree #3... sorry to be harsh but this character is just not working for me.. there was a slight spark in the woods with death hands but then it just went pbthhhhhhhhh after that.

I'm noticing a lot of these videos are turning into subtle and sometimes not so subtle attempts at getting people to make response videos. Not sure if that's good or bad but sometimes it smacks of, "we are out of ideas, do our work for us."
