History WebVideo / LG15TheResistance

* {{Nerd}}: "Sexy Librarian Strikes Again" features "the sexy nineteen-year-old fact finder also known as... Research Nerd!" (actually Sarah with Nerd Glasses, a collared shirt and tie and her hair tied back).

->''"The fountain of youth is real, and it's in the blood of dozens of girls across the world. Their secret is known by few, yet desired by all. They are pawns in the most dangerous of games. We are the Resistance. Our mission is to find these girls, and protect them from those who want to use them and destroy them, and we document what happens to them, so that their stories live on. This is the story of one of those girls. We are the Resistance. We will not be stopped."''

-->'''Sarah:''' They're so bad that they're stealing from the bad guys! That's like taking candy from a baby. Who is totally evil!

''"Toodles!"''

''[=LG15: the resistance=]'' is a WebOriginal VlogSeries and a FromTheAshes SpinOff of ''WebVideo/{{Lonelygirl15}}''. It features the efforts of the mysterious Hymn of None as they attempt to fight against the sinister [=LifesBlood Labs=].

Stylistically, it is quite different from ''lonelygirl15'', both in the way it is presented - each "Chapter" is posted in the form of a weekly mini-episode, similar to a regular TV show - and in the overall tone of the program, which is somewhat darker and more action-based.

* CardCarryingVillain: [[spoiler: Sarah Genatiempo]] is revealed to have been this [[TheMole all along]] in the finale. "[[Film/BackToTheFuture Hello? McFly?]] ''I'm evil!'' Completely and utterly evil."
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Dr. Leonard J Alderman, who doesn't hesitate to steal, kidnap, or torture providing it furthers the company's aims. He claims to be doing the world a service, but it's pretty clear he's really only interested in making a profit.

* {{Fanservice}}

* ImmortalitySeeker: In the season finale, [[spoiler:Sarah]] reveals this to be her goal.

* ImprovisedWeapon: Chapter 3, "Trust Fall" includes a scene in which Jonas and Sarah fight off security guards using the camera and the Samsaran Doctrine.

* {{Nerd}}: "Bad Decision?", Chapter 2 features "the sexy nineteen-year-old fact finder also known as... Research Nerd!" (actually Sarah with Nerd Glasses, a collared shirt and tie and her hair tied back).

* ObfuscatingStupidity: A favourite trick of Sarah, carried over from ''WebVideo/{{lonelygirl15}}''. Chapter 3 of the resistance is a good example. Furthermore, while she appears to be The Ditz a lot of the time, she's arguably the smartest member of the TAAG.

** In Chapter 12, Jonas whistles part of the theme from ''Film/TheGreatEscape'' before rescuing Reed.
* SlipknotPonytail: Sarah does this in "Bad Decision?", when she takes her hair out of her "Research Nerd" bun.
* SplitScreenPhoneCall: "A Call To Arms" plays with this effect a lot (including a bit at the end where the two cameras meet).

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: The [=LifesBlood Labs=] goons are pretty incompetent. The "Mace in Yo Face!" and "Done Dirt Cheap" incidents are particularly shameful. Although the "Mace in Yo Face" incident is justified because [[spoiler:those weren't real LBL henchmen]].
----

** Sarah mentions ''[[Franchise/StarWars The Return of the Jedi]]'' and ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRings The Return of the King]]'' in "Fun Things to Do in Hiding -- Volume Three!"

* TheMole: The finale revealed that [[spoiler:Sarah Genatiempo]] was in the Order all along. Some fans considered this a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, others a mistake of gargantuan proportions.

* NoFourthWall: Part of the premise of ''{{lonelygirl15}}'' and this show, as stated by Word Of God, is that there is no fourth wall. The characters are always aware that there is an audience, and often address them directly. However, the characters do not know that they are fictional, so perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the fourth wall exists — it's just transparent.

* OpeningMonologue: "The fountain of youth is real, and it's in the blood of dozens of girls across the world..." This is shown over a montage of all the natural trait positive characters to appear in ''{{lonelygirl15}}'' and ''KateModern''.

* {{Retcon}}: The finale applied a couple of these to ''{{lonelygirl15}}'', such as the revelation that Sarah [[spoiler:was evil all along]] or that Jonas [[spoiler:is a trait positive male]].

* OpeningNarration: "The fountain of youth is real, and it's in the blood of dozens of girls across the world..." This is shown over a montage of all the natural trait positive characters to appear in ''{{lonelygirl15}}'' and ''KateModern''.

* TheTeaser: "A Call To Arms" used the original prologue trailer video as a cold opening, before fading to the Opening Narration.
