WHAT WAS ALY STARING AT?

Rachel's latest video, "How Could THIS Happen?" sent shock waves through the community almost as soon as it was released last night. Here is what she had to say:

Rachel: "So... The other night was really weird. Don't get me wrong; my boss's dinner party was fantastic. It's just that something weird happened between Aly and me. When I was getting ready, Aly was helping me--and I really appreciated it. But... Every outfit she suggested just... I dunno. (She shrugs.) Wasn't my style. I guess I'm more modest than she is. And then, when we finally did unearth this one classic black cocktail dress, Aly just seemed a little too focused on watching me while I was changing into it. (She rubs her forhead.) Okay, she was staring--longer and lower than was appropriate. I hadn't reallyl picked up on it before, but... I'm just not sure if I'm comfortable being roommates with Aly anymore."

Shocking? Perhaps not, until you remember that the character of Aly Zarin is none other than the infamous Tachyon. On December 11th, 2007, Tachyon released a video confirming that she was undercover as Aly Zarin to keep an eye on Rachel.

Here is how some of our readers responded:

OMG is right! Now, the question is THIS: is this an issue of Tachyon's orientation--which is interesting in-and-of-itself? Or was Tachyon LOOKING for something? (Remember Bree's scar?)

I'm glad that we're getting to see Rachel's flaws. She's VERY judgemental.

I think rekidk nailed it--Tachyon was probably looking for a scar. How could Rachel know?

This is interesting: Unlike the early lonelygirl15 videos, where we are just as clueless about the Order as Bree was, here the viewer knows sinister things surround Rachel that she's unaware of. It adds a layer of drama over seemingly benign vlogs.

I immediately thought of Three's Company, one of the shows Glenn has mentioned liking, while watching this... all of the uncomfortable misunderstandings.

Dramatic irony rules. Silly Rachel. I'm almost certain that it was just Tachyon's instincts about watching her assignment, and it's been so long since she has been normal that she doesn't really get space. (Then again, things I've been almost certain about in LG15 have turned up totally wrong.) I know Rachel said Aly gave her her space, but what is Alytach is still a little awkward?
OR maybe she really is a lesbian. *shrug*


---------------------------------
Whether or not Rachel could know of the existence of Bree is probably less important than that fact that Aly could have been looking for something on Rachels body. Tattoos, marks, scars, etc...... or she was staring because of the lack of something?? And what about Rachel's response? Rachel took it as "she is checking me out way", but could that mean she is questioning her own sexuality? We know Aly is on a mission. Could that play into the stare?

If you recall we first encountered Bree's scar in the Lonelygirl15 video " Swimming".

In a previous article we discussed a mark on Bree's back and why the order wanted Bree.

In another article we questioned the meaning of Bree's scar.










But the story does not end there. Those of you who tuned into BreeFM last Wednesday night heard Glenn talk about "My So Called Life". In particular Glenn reference the character of "Rickie". Here is how Wikipedia describes "Rickie":

"Enrique "Rickie" Vasquez, played by Wilson Cruz, is Rayanne Graff's other best friend. He is a gay bi-racial (Hispanic-Black) 15-year-old boy raised by his uncle, who physically abuses him. In 1994, Rickie is as openly gay as a teenager could be in his circumstances. When his uncle kicks him out of the house he is fostered briefly by the Chases, then by English teacher Richard Katimski (played by Jeff Perry), who is also gay and becomes a mentor to Rickie."

One has to wonder if Glenn's remarks were a passing comment or a prelude of things to come on Rachel's life.

So take another look at Rachel's video:
