OK, so I'm trying to reason out why Tim hid this from Jay. My first thought was that Jay's been saying that he wanted to find Jessica, maybe Tim thought if Jay knew she was gone he would give up. But I think this would just make Jay want to get Alex more. And obviously he won't give up now. Maybe if he knew what happened to Jessica he would do something stupid like confront Alex alone. Since TO has been known to defend Alex this would be a bad idea. But I feel like there has to be more to it. How did Alex get away from Hoody when Hoody clearly had the upper hand? Did TO intervene? If so, how did Hoody escape? For that matter, why did Jessica die (assuming she did)? Did TO bring Jessica back to Alex and Alex killed her? IIRC the only people we've seen TO permanently take have been killed by Alex.

Definitely one of the best episodes since the early stuff. (Re-)introducing a character who doesn't yet know to be freaked out by SM made this way, way scarier than his other recent appearances.

Well that was worth the wait. Once I got over the initial "wtf did I just see" factor I think they potentially filled in a number of holes. Then again I've been wrong about drat near every theory since season 1, so who knows. Have they seriously been sitting on that entry for like 2 years?  First, I guess that kills (heh) my long standing theory that Jessica is Skimasky. RIP, girl. My new frontrunner is Amy. I also agree that the Maskies were trying to help, despite looking shady as all gently caress in the process, which is why Tim didn't want Jay to see it. Just read the text at the end; Jay interprets it as Tim hiding his role in Jessica's murder from him. Alex chases Skimasky off and is very obviously leading Jessica into the woods to sacrifice her to the Operator the way he's done with Seth, Brian, Beardy and who knows who else. He's still the bad guy here. I just rewatched entries 32-33 where Jessica vanishes. They actually did an awesome job of telegraphing this. Near the end of 32, there's tons of audio distortion, and then they agree to leave that night. Jay says he's gonna spend some time uploading the videos before he finishes packing and comes back for Jessica, which gives the Maskies time to rush in and kidnap her. As usual, there's new questions. Why does Tim come back and attack Jay? Did he see Alex take Jessica and he's trying to get Jay to leave and pursue her? Trying to get Jay out before the Operator comes back? Or is he just trying to get them both killed? I strongly lean toward Masky being a good guy trying to power through his confused blackout state to help Jay, but it's open to interpretation. Finally, Jay is not Skimasky unless we're open to complete time travel fuckery. Jay's been holding the camera many times while chasing Skimasky.

FoglyOgly posted:TO has been known to defend Alex. I am wondering if Jessica is really dead. When Tim was tripping out in the woods after being attacked by the Operator, he had a brief glimpse of the guy Alex murdered surrounded by a black void. Maybe Jessica is there now, too. The limbo where the Operator takes his victims. I was cringing when Alex guided her towards the tunnel -- classic horror movie storytelling. No, don't follow him! Don't go in there!

No. We are not open to complete time travel fuckery. This entry was great. As for why Tim wanted to hide this, I know he and Skimasky have worked together before, like when they attacked Alex, but wasn't there also a time Skimasky attacked him and Jay or something? Or am I just remembering this wrong?

Oh jesus christ, that was the scariest one in forever. watching Alex lead Jessica into that goddamned loving tunnel. How the gently caress could he do this to her.  The worst part is I think I understand now why he's doing what he's doing. He's trying to quarantine the 'infection'. He's trying to bury this. Amy is gone, taken by TO most likely. He thinks that if he kills everyone who knows about this, it'll stop. Once he's the last one remaining, he'll kill himself. He blames himself for Amy being taken, and he believes if he can kill everyone who knows too much, TO will never take anyone else. Or at least never take anyone because of his actions. Notice what he says. "I'm sorry, This is all J's Fault." Who was it that told Jessica that they hadn't found Amy? J. E-Tank fucked around with this message at 06:59 on Sep 13, 2013 |

From the looks of this Jessica is probably dead. When we see her laying down, it doesn't look she's breathing Also, I think the clip were Alex stands over with his gun probably implies that he made sure she was dead

Well, earlier we saw the hooded figure enter Tim's apartment and steal his medication, apparently knowing this would cause a Mr. Hyde relapse in Tim and turn him back into Masky. It was a cruel thing to do, but the question is, what was the motivation behind it? Now that I think of it, maybe Tim was showing more concern for Jay's well-being than even Jay himself realized. After their last encounter with the Operator, Tim told Jay he gave him some pills while he was "out of it." Maybe he was doing this to stop Jay from becoming like him and Hoody.

They're wholly under the Operator's control and want Jay to succeed/Alex to fail so that the "infection" spreads? That... actually makes a decent amount of sense. Maskies are I think just wildcards, but they may in fact be TO's agents. My theory so far: The maskies have *weird* brain chemistry. Instead of falling under TO's control, they develop secondary personalities. Basically disassociate identity disorder. As has been said, Tim has been seeing TO all his life, meaning he was infected without any prior cause. Perhaps, TO is only visible by people with certain brain chemistry, unless the individual has been made aware and believe he exists. Cameras show him because it has no will, and is artificial. Seeing him on camera however generally leaves people believing that 'something' was there, so the infection spreads. As for their intentions: I don't know what their intentions are, but it is entirely plausible that they are not as benevolent as they seem. While they have been shown trying to aid J, and save Jessica, we don't know for what purpose, and we may never know. For all we know they truly believe that they can fight the operator, and are trying to keep the major players alive to continue to try and do that. That also might be why Skimasky was having a hard time pulling the trigger on Alex. If skimasky really hated Alex as much as we believe, he/she/it wouldn't have had any trouble pulling the trigger before TO popped up to save the day. Edit: sorry, I re-did a bit and made it easier to read/parse, as well as expanded on my own personal theories. E-Tank fucked around with this message at 07:33 on Sep 13, 2013 |

While the entry is good, we need some loving answers and not more questions sometimes. I'm getting BattleStar Galactica / Lost flashbacks where I feel like that they'll eventually throw their hands up, say "gently caress IT" and just end poo poo in a clusterfuck that makes no sense. It's hard to keep looking for clues when nothing gets confirmed, ever, ever. I feel like now would have been the time to show us the character's face.

Tim and Skimasky had to have been trying to save J and Jessica. It's clear that Alex intends on killing literally everyone, so #TeamMask could have just sat back and done nothing if they were indifferent to the situation. Why they brought Jessica (and presumably J, if it had gone according to plan) in the direction of Alex's murderhole is sort of boggling though. Also Tim would have just killed J at this point if they weren't on the same side. I'm with Doc on Sarah being the most likely suspect for the identity of Skimasky (she was trying to save her roommate) especially after the note that was left in the attic (even though the actor clearly isn't a woman).
