There have been a number of details that have happened in the Breeniverse that some fans view as mistakes on the part of the Creators. Here is a list of them, and suggested or actual resolutions.


BREE

What is the significance of the scar on Bree's back, that was purposely shown in the "Swimming!" video? Is that the "mark" that Hymn of One refers to?

Solution Nothing as Of Yet. However, the "mark" that the Hymn of One refers to was created by a fan on the myspace page. The creators have yet to confirm that they kept it on for a reason.

What happened to Bree while she was with the Hymn of One? What made her all "Hymn-of-One"-ish? Why is her memory mixed up so badly? What is up with Bree's behavior after she was taken back to Jonas'? Why did she make "I hAtE tHeSe PeOpLe?" If she was being all crazy and spazzed out, how did she edit it together? Why did she go into a zombie-trance thing in "Bedside Manner?" Why did she start responding to Jonas? Did she have a plan for escape the whole time, or did it come to her later on?

Why did Bree escape? Did she really want to go back to the Hymn of One, or were there other reasons?

Why does Bree have a seemingly endless wardrobe, and how come rarely wears the same shirt twice?

Solution She has worn the same clothing once or twice.

If Bree and her dad were going to go see Isaac and Spencer Gilman, why didn't Bree say anything to Jonas and Daniel later? Why didn't she tell them about the injections?

Solution Everyones guess is that she had no idea about Isaac and Spencer, and she didn't really understand what her father was injecting her with. Reason for this conclusion is because Bree only knew the injections as preparation for the Ceremony, and as we all know, there were in fact injections for the ceremony but her father (Drew Avery) just replaced them for something else. Could it have been Epogen, or could Epogen be the drug that the Order was giving Bree?

DANIEL

What did Daniel talk about when Jonas hypnotized him? Did he really talk about Thursday night, or something else?

Solution Most people think that Jonas and Daniel were more so goofing off with that response, but its possible that Jonas really does have hypnotic skills.

Is there any particular reason why Daniel doesn't like to go swimming?

Solution While this was rumored, and discussed for a while, in "Swimming" he did in fact go swimming. At one point in the video, you see Daniel soaking wet.

In "Confrontation," Alex clearly didn't know how Daniel got in the house- how did he get in unnoticed, and what was he doing?

Solution Due to the nature of the video, it was obvious that Daniel broke into the house, for the soul reason to confront Alex. However, did Bree know that this was the plan?

CASSIE

Who is Cassie?

Solution Within the story, the answer was never really clear. We understood that she moved away, and Bree was not allowed to talk to her after some prank phone calls that they made. From the creator's end of things we find out that Cassie was actually Bree's original name. In the original story that inspired the creation of Bree, Mesh created the central character with the name of Cassie.

Why does Bree randomly remember her and bring her up?

Solution With the way Bree talks about her, people have reasoned the Bree felt close with Cassie. She was able to identify with her. Bree also felt like Cassie was her connection to the outside world. The "Pre-Daniel" if you will.

Why does Daniel not remember her?

Why was everyone so mean to her?

What freaked her out about the religion (since up until recently Bree didn't talk about it much, which we know because Daniel didn't really know anything about it)?

How come Bree says at one point that Cassie stopped talking to her because Bree's religion freaked her out, but says in a later video that they haven't seen each other since Bree took the blame for Cassie making prank phone calls?

Why does Daniel bring her up in "Miss Me?"

Solution Fans believe this was just a throw back to the Cassie Is Watching videos. The video itself followed in Cassie's editing footpaths.

Is she actually connected to the Order, or has the Order just used her name because Bree talked about her?

GEMMA

What was Gemma's real objective?

Solution This was never fully answered in the videos, however within the OpAphid game it was, to a degree. Gemma's original mission was to dispose of "Brother," who was there infiltrating the order in London through his relationship with Gemma. After that plan "supposedly" succeeded, Gemma was later on moved to California, to which guide Bree back into the hands of the Order. However, because of Gemma's previous experience with death, she felt the odd need to dispose of Bree.

Was she really working for the Order, or was it more complicated?

Solution Many people feel it was more complicated due to conflicting statements within her videos. However using the letters between Brother and Tachyon, it is clearly indicated that Gemma was working within the ranks of the Order since the beginning.

Was she really shot by Brother, or was it a ruse?

Solution Sources have been mixed on this one. While OpAphid and Brother seem confident that Gemma is now in fact dead, Gemma has been mysteriously logging into Youtube, Myspace and even Bebo accounts.

Is Finn, the musician at the party, the same musician that Gemma went on a few dates with?

Solution This all seemed to be one big rumor or speculation floating around, so lets just leave it at that.


JONAS:

Was it just a coincidence that Jonas contacted Bree and offered to help her in her flight from the Order, and then later his parents turned out to be closely connected to the Order/resistance? Or did Jonas know more than he has revealed about his parents' activities?

Solution Due to present circumstances (as of July 12th, 2007) the Jury seems to vote that this is all purely coincidence. Throughout the series we have learned that the order has many branches that stem in every direction. So this is very possible.

Was there any significance to what Jonas was mumbling in his sleep when they were chasing Alex ("Missing Days")? Could his parents have maybe given him information that he didn't realize was information at the time?

When searching for Bree, why did Jonas have a mental break down at a lake?

Solution Although "break down," isn't how I would put it, the given situation calls for some emotional build up. A break down is bound to happen once in a while.

What is up with Jonas' email? Why is it so out of character, and why are there so many mistakes?

Solution While people argue that it is out of character, we have learned throughout the series that Jonas is a very self conscious and defensive man. So when faced with an attack, he attacks right back. In the email situation, Jonas indeed felt that he was being attacked by Sarah, leading to a emotionally driven attack right back.

How does Jonas finance their adventures without leaving a trail for the Order to follow when he uses ATM's and such? Is that how the Order keeps finding them?

LUCY

What is the significance of the map locations on Lucy's computer? Are they locations of eligible ceremony girls, or of places the ceremony will be held, or what?

Why does Lucy seem to show up all of the time, even in Mexico?

Solution While this one seems to be the magic mystery, we know that Lucy is Bree's "Helper." We know that "Helpers" are also like protectors almost. Making sure that Bree does the right thing. And concerning the Hymn of One, the ceremony is the right thing. So, if Lucy did not follow Bree every wheres, then Lucy would not follow the job description under "helper."

Is there more to her than we know?

Solution Well, this is a smart ass remark, but we know nothing about her really. So, probably yes.

Why hasn't she been seen since she showed up in Zavalla? Where is she now?

Solution Well the obvious answer is because the Hymn Of One has Bree now, therefore that portion of her job is complete. However, questions still remain pertaining to what will she does with Daniel, Jonas, Taylor and Sarah.

Why is her computer gone from her apartment? Why did she leave behind a map? Wouldn't she have taken it with when she was traveling?

Solution The jury is still out on this one (as of July 12, 2007), however the general feeling is that the computer and information is gone because she, and the order, know that Daniel and Nikki B have been breaking and entering into her apartment. While the smart thing to do would be to up security, we know that Lucy likes to play mind games with the group. So leaving clues for them where ever she goes is a great way to lead the mice into her trap.

WATCHERS

What are Watchers, and what side are they on? What is their goal/purpose?

Solution From what we have so far been told, the Watchers are there to watch and protect Bree. They will not harm her, or touch her, but watch her location and hold down the fort (if you will) until back up arrives.

Why do Watchers (and apparently most Order members) dress the same? Wouldn't their job be easier if they weren't as easily recognizable?

Why did Gemma warn Bree about the Watchers, especially if they were working for the Order?

Solution While people still argue about this, the feeling is that Gemma wanted to befriend Bree, to better her ability to lure Bree back into the Hymn of One to do the ceremony (Like Lucious Snape discribes in Half Blood Prince ;) ) It allows for Gemma to have an easier advantage on Bree then any one else, once she gains her trust. The other side believes that, contrary to what evidence has directed us to, Gemma was lured into the grasps of the order later on in her videos. And that when Gemma warned Bree of the watchers, it was one of her last "true" messages from her to Bree. You decide

Why weren't there Watchers to protect Jules?

Solution While there hasn't been much discussion on this, as I know of. My personal bet (debate at will) is that because Jules seemed to be the bait to lure Bree in so Lucy could reason with her, they wanted to avoid any threatening image surrounding Jules. And because Bree, Daniel and Jonas feel that the Watchers present a threatening aura, they would have avoided Jules.


DEACONS

Who are the deacons? Do they think they are really a part of a religion, or do they know that Hymn of One is just a front for the Order?

ALEX

Which side is she on - does she really think she's helping the trio, or is she against them? Who was her husband? Why did they divorce? What happened on her 26th birthday that made her give up photography? Why did the Order pick her up at the beach? Where is she and what is she doing now? Why did she up and move? Where did all her stuff go? How come nobody has seen her? Why does the moving sign outside of her house say "JUST KNOCK!"? Why did she disappear at the same time as Lucy? What are the 'principles' that Alex offers to recite on the phone in "Lying Bastards"? Who was she talking to? When Alex told Bree, "They have another girl," did she mean Jules, herself, or someone else? Why did Alex go back to the Order and what was the "one step" she had remaining? Who was Alex talking about that she had visited the "Perfect Beach" with? Is she really in the fashion business, or does she travel around doing some work for the Order with that as a cover?

NIKKI BOWER

What about Nikki B.? Is she canon now, or was that a one-time-deal? What is Nikki B. doing undercover with the HoO?

JULES

What about Jules? Was she a distraction, bait, or was she really a new Ceremony girl? Why does her birth certificate say that she is not adopted? Are her parents actually her biological parents, or is it a cover from the Order so that no one knows she is adopted? Why did she have the symbol for Epogen in her file, and what is "trait negative"? Is she missing one of the traits that Bree mentioned?

SARAH

Why did Sarah leave home and join the boys? Why has Sarah fallen for Daniel so quickly? Does she really like him, or is she using him for something? Is Sarah really as promiscuous as she claims? Why does she make such a huge deal about "fun" in "Everybody Does It ;)"?

GILMAN

What is the Wyman foundation? Who is Isaac Gilman? What kind of work did he do with genetics? Who is "the Mistress"? Who is Ted Fuller? What were the injections Isaac Gilman was giving Bree? Were they to make her 'trait-negative'? Who is Spencer? What caused Isaac Gilman's car to crash? Was he killed by the same people who killed Bree's dad? Is there a connection between the deaths of Bree's dad, Gilman and Gemma (who were all killed the same day)?


BREE'S PARENTS

What did Bree's dad say that made Bree not want to contact her mother? Is there anything that Bree and her father discussed (other than the obvious information about Bree's mom) that we don't know yet? Why did she get upset that Bree "projected weakness" by crying? Do we really know that Bree's dad is dead? If he knew the Ceremony was bad and that she shouldn't be doing it, why did he let her prepare for it? Why didn't he put a stop to it all sooner? Why did he keep giving her Epogen? Why didn't he tell Bree about his concerns either before things got out of control, or the day he was shot? Why didn't he tell her how to lower her ribozyme levels without his help? What about the fact that they were not her biological parents? Where are her biological parents? Did they give her up willingly, or was she taken? Are her biological parents in Hymn of One? What about her adoptive parents qualified them to raise Bree, and what did her biological parents lack that disqualified them? Why is Bree suddenly happy with her mother again?


JONAS' PARENTS

What's going on with the whole plot involving Jonas' parents? Are they really still alive? Where are they, and why have they been gone so long? What is the "whacked-out, crazy stuff" that Alex's mom accused Jonas' dad of? Was there more to Alex's mom's death than just an accident? What are these pictures that the Order had, proving that Jonas' dad was involved with her death?


OTHER PARENTS

Why was Alex's mom afraid of planes (in "Apology Accepted" we find out she said that "planes don't fly, they crash.")? What is Daniel doing about his parents? They can't possibly believe that he's still camping, can they? What's wrong between Taylor and Sarah's parents? What was in the message that their dad left that made their mom so sad?

ORDER/HYMN OF ONE

What is the difference (if any) between The Order and the Hymn of One? In "Mystery Movies", we find out that Bree's dad must be watching her videos, and we know from the video "Me for Daniel" that the Order is watching Bree's videos- but later, in one of Nikki B.'s videos, we find out that the Order doesn't watch her videos- why? What is the connection between the Order and ancient Egypt? Is there any reason beyond some way to lend credibility to Hymn of One? Why are there conflicting ideas about capturing Bree within the Order? What is the significance of all of the "free will" talk in the Order? Is it just something that the Hymn of One uses to get people in, or is it really part of the Order's objectives, or what? What is the "eternal song"? Is it literally a song, or just a metaphor of some kind? Why did the HoO ask what it did on the "audition" survey? What were the significances of the various answers? What is with the mantra "The Hymn of One is fun?"


THE RESISTANCE

What is in "The Order of the Modern Empire" other than the Theta/Pi symbol and list of initials? Is there still a resistance group alive (besides our trio, of course)? Besides physical training, did Bree learn anything from Tachyon during her recent stay with her? What does the stuff on the whiteboard in the bunker mean? What did they change it to say? What else did they find in the bunker? Was there anything to find?

CEREMONY

In "Order of Denderah", it is implied that the ceremony takes place in mid-October- is this the only time it takes place? Why would Bree hint that the ceremony would take place on 10/12/06 when it was only a false ceremony that hadn't been planned yet (we know this because Bree says that it wasn't planned until after the people helping her prepare found out Daniel was filming them)? Also, why did she have to lie to her parents about when the ceremony took place? What is the ceremony, anyway? Why is it so important that it be done, especially since Hymn of One isn't even a real religion? Or is it a real religion that the Order takes advantage of? What were the excercises that Bree and Jules talked about? What is the selection process for girls to be chosen for the ceremony? Why Bree and Jules (if, of course, Jules was actually a ceremony girl)? What is different about them than the other girls placed in "controlled enviroments"? What specific aspect of the ceremony requires use of Epogen? What special diet was Bree on, and why (we know she said it involves a lot of red meat and avoiding sugar, but what else does it entail, and why)? If Jules isn't a ceremony girl, why was she doing exercises and on a special diet? What exactly is the "purity bond" and why is it crucial? What was Bree's dad giving her that could lower her ribozyme levels?

THE PARTY

At the party in the "Uncle Dan" videos, why do they very obviously point out the musician guy? Who was the guy arguing with Alex, and why were they arguing? Why does Toby struggle to say Beth is a reporter and then Beth cuts him off? Why is Carl and what was with all the "it's fine, it's fine, it's fine" and other weird stuff at the party? What about the comment about Jonas's "file"? What did Alex tell Sonia about Jonas? Why would she talk about him if she hasn't seen him in about six years? Why does Carl flip out when Daniel tries to talk to Sonia and him? Why was there a picture of Lucy, and who is the other woman? Is the other woman Rebecca? Was she really lying about her connections to the Order and Hymn of One? Why did she invite Daniel in for tea?

CAPTURE IN VEGAS

Who captured Bree, Daniel and Jonas? Who was the interrogator? Where were they staying? How did they escape? Why did a Watcher kill their captor and let them go? How did they find Jonas' car again? We know Bree was told to do the Ceremony, and Daniel was told to go home, but what exactly was Jonas asked about? When they asked about his parents' death, why did he say "I don't want to play anymore?" Why does the interrogator say "This is no game?" Does Jonas know more about his parents' death than he realizes (maybe it's in his subconscious somewhere)?

THE BOX

Why did Bree's dad leave a box under a stump? What was in the rest of the letter from Bree's dad in the box? What else was in the notebook with the ribozyme charts? Was there anything else in the box?

Hymn Of One Videos

Why does "Sing With Me" open with a large star in the middle of the screen followed by a smaller shooting star? Why are Sonia and Carl with Bree? Why is Bree wearing a bandage again? Is she taking Epogen again? Why is everyone wearing white? Why is Bree wearing jeans, when the other two are wearing either white or khaki pants (not sure which)? Why is there a shot of Boston at the end of each video? How are secret messages ending up in the HoO videos? Who put them there, and why?

BACK STORY

What is the significance of the girl abducted in 1943 by Crowley (since we know it is an event that never actually happened)? Who is the family that Gemma says disappeared? If she really thought Bree should do the ceremony, why did she scare her by saying that after the ceremony, that family disappeared? What happened to them? Did they really exist, or did Gemma (or someone telling her what to say) invent them? What happened between Taylor's parents? Is it significant to the story, or is it just character background?


RANDOM:

Why is the tag "hamster" used in quite a few videos that have nothing to do with hamsters? What happened with "the Cowboy"? Wasn't he supposed to be central to the plot? What is the significance of longitude and meridians? Bree made a whole video about it (and the story she told was a myth, which she treated as fact, which seems to indicate it is an important topic), Jonas talks about his parents being lost at sea at a particular longitude, Jonas says that Alex's mom used to talk about them a lot, then - so what's the big deal? Are meridians referring to geography or Chinese medicine, or something else entirely? Does Pluto have any significance in the story, as it has now been mentioned three times in the series? Did Bree and Jonas sleep together, or did he just try to make it look that way?
