wow..in the last episode i don't blame that one guy from coming out of nowhere but could've he done to that girl or what happened. who' know's i mean, maybe it could of been that she fell almost opened her head gash.....right,

anyway that ended so soon. great webseries i wanted to see more ...an more i just discovered this series it seems likeit's a good.

This one kinda annoyed me actually.  It kinda that "Lost Show Mentality" (lack of a better word) where no one seems to ask questions.  A person with important information that I would imagine would be extracted immediately, is not.  Like when the guy first found him, he might be babbling, but I would have noticed that he sounded like there's other people and ask him more details.  I have a hard time imagining a room that 13 people will begin to argue randomly and senselessly to each other (in stressful situations, people trend to group think so they become malleable to a single voice). 

I guess in the end, no one wanted to ask and listen, and I would imagine questions would be immediately asked (and he does look like a student, wtf?)

I have to agree. No matter how oddball Fox was, somebody would have listened to his babble right from the start. And "Neo-Nazi" Lee... well, I guess he lost all of our respect now, but that was to be expected. Lord of the Flies anyone?

Excellent lighting on Lee, as was his acting. Very realistic performances by all, especially Fox. Too bad he's gone.

Addendum:

Nice move by the Serial Gods with bringing out the "Campaign Results" at the same time as the episode that stamped him as a villain, or at least anathema character. He's got some beef with society we realize at last.

Kudos also to the actor. Great work! Evil characters are the coolest to play, but often also the hardest!

you definitely have to make a hollywood film outta this. it's only at episode 8, but im addicted to it. it is interesting.

I agree with Alec - this looks like The Lord of the Flies. But I expect something much more sinister to come in the next few episodes from the Serial Gods.

My personal opinion is that Lee is not a villain. No he shouldn't have killed Fox. (Where did he get a gun on a college campus anyway?) But I think Lee is doing what he thinks is best, although that certainly isn't helping anyone.

On a side note, I couldn't help but laugh when the tie-in finally came in the Adam and Ben show. It left me wondering why Ben didn't try to get under cover.

Does a character have to have bad intentions to be a villain?

Lee is the bad guy because he's unable to acknowledge that he might not know best. His erroneous convictions cause harm to others. He can't be trusted. There's no way to know who he'll turn on next.

In his own mind, he might not intentionally be doing evil, but in the real world, he is still doing evil.

[Alec Corday]

You all have a point about evil characters. True, just because he had an unprofessional reaction doesn't mean he's evil. He does what he feels best... with emphasis on 'feel'. His reaction was purely emotional, which is not a good trait of a leader. Judged by his actions as well as personality I wouldn't trust him anymore. Obviously he doesn't seem to handle pressure well.

Anyway, such is my perception of leadership. There are leaders and there are followers... and then there are those who think they can lead.
