Thoughts on The Cult's Twitter account

When I first discovered The Cult's Twitter account by hunting around online, it was creepy, intriguing and written in the world of the show.

The first fifteen tweets were all along the lines of the following:

"Do you ever wonder why you're being told so many lies? Momentum can guide you to the truth."

"The world is becoming a dangerous place. Momentum are your only refugee. We are your family. Come and find us."

"We know what makes a family."

The next 13 tweets are all completely different in writing style and are clearly not in the world of The Cult any more:

"Don't forget The Cult is on tonight at 8.30pm!! Michael goes into Two Gardens to meet Edward face-to-face."

"New writers' blog for The Cult now up http://bit.ly/3qFX81"

"new episode of @TheCult now online http://bit.ly/1Ia62U"

I'm really disappointed that the initial tone wasn't carried through as a parallel to the story on the show and the Twitter account turned into just promoting the show in such a  normal way.

I suppose it made you think; made me think; kept me on my toes; i loved it for that. being asked to think! how dare they. my mates watched it relgiously ged it - and loved it but in the end i think people are just happy for the usual stuff like  all about boyfriends and girlfriends seems to be where we are at - and that's why tv for the numb like outrageous fortune do so well. sad
