At some point I just ran out of enthusiasm to keep up with the series...

Although the OP seems to indicate I haven't missed anything terribly substantial.

Man, we've missed you :smith:

Other goons have monopolizing my attention. I'll spend some time catching up before I start posting stupid theories that have been rehashed a billion times in the last thread. Although, to be honest, I think I sputtered out due to too many stupid theories and ended up trolling myself.

I have probably forgotten all the spergy little details, too. As long as Slenderpig is still an important character and Jessica is still TTRB, I think I'll be ok.

Currently uploading Marble Beerboyz - Beer #53 - Leinenkugel Sucks

I get naked in it as a publicity stunt. :nms:

In obvious conjunction with this incredible event, my season 2 dvd arrived today so I'll be catching up tonight.

I doubt I remember half the crap I need to, but let's see what happens.

E: And for the record, Leinies usually gives me a headache, but they have a few good seasonals.

Edit 2: Forgive me for this, but I honestly don't remember it coming up when this episode posted...why is the answer to "have you been in something I've seen?" blanked out in 28? (I probably posted on it and forgot...but it's wonderful watching creepy Jay again)

Finally caught up (I actually wasn't that far behind, just the last three entries).

The real nagging question for me is why Alex sucked Jay in with the fake "Burn the tapes" story in the first place, as opposed to just doing what he did to Brian and Seth. Unless of course he told Tim the same thing in regards to the tapes Tim has.

And while I don't think Tim is aware of Masky, I think Masky is very much aware of Tim. It explains the events around 15 pretty well. Jay and Tim both seem to be guided subconsciously to find Alex. Maybe that's why Alex needs to wrap up all loose ends, because the people around him are compelled to find him and that's when bad things happen to Alex.

Also, excellent Beerboyz, even if I can't really enjoy Berry Weiss.

I don't think that was fake. Unless i am mistaken we don't know if Alex had anything to do with Brian and Seth disappearing, and while his recent actions are pretty bad, they also take place after Jay started watching the tapes, as opposed to burning them like Alex said, so if anything it's all Jay's fault.

I thought the point of 51 was that Alex was leading these people to sacrifice them to the Operator, unless we're still going with Jay being an unreliable narrator and misleading us.

Makes me think of 20, though, since Jay and Tim are the only people on the cast of Marble Hornets at that point.

Does Tim know more than he's letting on, or is he just annoyed/weirded out by Jay and his camera?

That was a great ending. I wonder what happened after that. I'm also wondering where that moment fits in the chronology. Alex and Tim both appear to be acting normal, so is this an early Slender Man encounter, maybe their first?

Maybe this clip precedes Entry 1?

I still think the first encounters were outside, and that the encounters at Alex's/Brian's house were later.

E: Though seriously, it is within Alex's "character" to be paranoid enough to lend Tim a camera to double up after Seth failed in the gazebo scene.

^ I think Alex was still unaware at this point. All the members still seem "normal", so I don't think there's too much going on. It's probably after Alex went looking for Slendy with his dog, but before Slendy showed up at his house and he started drawing crazy things compulsively.

I'm also going to mention that one of my biggest criticisms of the "Tim is TTA theory" was that we never saw Tim with a camera.

Welp.

One thing that's been bothering me. As Jay uploads the videos why does he never talk about the Operator who has been showing up in footage from tape one? Is he assuming that it's a prank or does he want to concentrate on the threats of Alex and the Maskys?

I think it just goes without saying. At first we thought he was just unwilling to admit, or even that he was oblivious to it, but as time goes on it just seems like it's pointless for him to point out the horrible supernatural thing that is evidenced on his tapes.

EvilRobot posted:

Nah, it seems more like he feeds off the dead bodies Alex gives him. People do seem to get more paranoid the more they are stalked by The Operator, but emotionally they also tend to become a great deal more aggressive.

I also think there is a lot implied by the name "The Operator". Like, maybe it wasn't exactly Alex's choice to become a film student. It's been made pretty clear he didn't particularly have a natural affinity for it.

As if he'd been destined to make bad movies from childhood...

Have we got a consensus on when this entry took place? It seems pretty clear it's before the gazebo scene since he's not yelling at everyone yet. Maybe even before the Brian in the car scene?

Everyone just seems so chill and happy, so either Alex hasn't started noticing or he's just forgotten for the moment and has nothing to remind him.

Anyway, who's the guy in the white shirt at ~3:00? Is that Seth? It doesn't look like Brian to me.
(Maybe this is super obvious, but I didn't see anyone else mention it.)

Yeah, I was wondering that myself. It does appear to be Seth. Brian doesn't look exactly the same to me, either. Three years is a long time. :smith:

The binary translates to "killhim"

I like that TTA is still generic enough to apply to either Tim, Jay or Alex. Personal pronouns are awesome.

Okay, that just creeped me out to no end, especially that white face appearing out of nowhere.

Most of those scenes were familiar (as if they were from earlier videos), but I didn't recognize the scene with the knife. Have we seen that before?

Yes, that's the one where Jay is going to meet Alex with Jessica, if I recall correctly. He's arming himself.

So that kind of confirms TTA is hostile to Alex, and also not Alex.

Not sure why. 'This is your fault' and showing an image of Alex killing someone could be taken either way. Are we now after Alex to keep him from killing someone else? Or are we after Jay because he was who Alex thought the guy was?

Actually, how long did Tim know Alex? Did they just meet for the film, are they from the same area?

If I remember entry 15 right, Tim was living next door to Brian, which was how he got involved in the film. Alex didn't live near them.

Of course, they might just not remember each other... :gonk:
