Tim was going to a doctor as well and he wasn't "locked away" when Jay found him.


I meant before that, when he was young and thrown in the asylum and pumped full of medication to keep him silent.

Why must you make normal Tim seem like a badguy?

The shady side to that is Tim has seen the dark side of so-called "psychotherapeutic treatment," and is trying to get Jay locked away in Arkham so that Tim can go on and live a 'normal' life, or at least live 'normally' as long as possible before either (A. the Operator finally hunts him down or (B. Jay gets out of the asylum and comes back for Tim.

And thus, the birth of Timman's arch-nemesis: The Jayker. Twisted Evil

He doesn't strike me as the type of being who would have any knowledge of something as banal as the internet.


Or, maybe he's the physical manifestation of technology run amok-- a ghost from the machine? There's a lot of evil on the internet, maybe the Operator is a new incarnation of an older evil (Slender Man) who came to life when the internet went out of control in the mid 2000s.


Demons or supernatural beings coming out of technological devices? Sounds like a plot from one of the Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) video games.

 		So anyone want to talk distortion? I remember with 71 we were discussing how the specific distortion effect used during the attack on Jay was nearly identical to when Seth was "taken", and whether or not that was significant. Well I'm not certain, but I think I saw the same effect again near the end of this video. Comparison, anyone?

 		Yeah, I made the comparison between #22 and #71. Let me just add the #72 one:

It does look a bit similar, in my opinion.

It's a unique brand called Slender-stortion. Very Happy

-However, no one seems to have noted that, what if Alex is victim to the same thing? Now that we know that Tim's affliction is caused by the Operator, what if Alex is afflicted by the same sickness? It makes sense. Alex was the one most exposed to the Operator, and most directly, during the filming of Marble Hornets. What if Alex has a separate personality of his own?


It has been said more than once before (but in other threads), so... you are not alone Wink


And for all those people talking about Tim being suspicious... I think you're all missunderstanding him. I mean, Tim has had just one friend before Jay (Brian) who had, acording to what Tim could remember when Jay first entrevisted him long ago in season 1 "lost contact" with him (which is a synonim of being "abandoned" somehow. He had to deal as a child with a "mental illness" (I don't know if it is safe to call it that way) and her mother had to left him in a hospital (even if she thought it was for the best) -> hence Tim felt abandoned too.
Now he's got a friend, one who understands what is going on, someone who can tell him that not everything was on his mind and some of these shit was real outside his mind and now that he knows what is happening, and what happened to his first friend, I think it a pretty reasonable behaviour to act like he is doing. If you find it odd, it is a plus, due to maybe Tim is not the best person doing friends and knowin how to interact with other people due to the isolation he suffered as a child (and if I don't remember badly, until he went to college, and those are A LOT of years of isolation).
So, I feel that he is concerned and protective because he is really appreciating having someone next to him and he is doing his best with his (I suppose) poor social skills.

Also, about the bag thing. It sounded normal to me, he just wanted the pages in that specific place but it could be for multiple "non suspicious" things:
A. Because it is less probable for the pages to be wrinkled (?) in there.
B. Maybe he has some personal stuff (like... underpants?) in the other poket. It would make sense because they have left their homes and they carry their belongings with them.
C. He just feeled it will be easier to remember where they were.
D. He thougt it was more practical.

Wild speculation: What if Tim wasing hallucinating as a child and nor is Jay? What if it is another thing? I mean, it has been said before here: maybe they develop some kind of extrasensory sensibility to know when TO is about to appear and they just feel like he is already there?
Or maybe the hallucinations are caused directly becouse of the will of TO because he doesn't want his victims to be sure about when they have seen him and when not. If they start to think that they are just hallucinating, they will stop trying to escape...

Ok, sorry because of the wall of text, but Tim is worth it xD

 		Does anyone still think the twittered code said IT WAS HIM/TIM? I don't think that message really applies to what happened. I do think it's weird that the code began with 65 and ended with 65 ( excluding all the end zeroes) because in entry 65 Tim told Jay to run and faced the Operator alone. But this time they were together and they made it out of there together too!

I don't really think Tim was either fighting TO, or bargaining with him. He approached TO with the exact same stumbling gait as Alex did in Entry 43.

He may or may not have resisted going full-masky, but I certainly don't feel as though it was pure defiance.


I would agree with you if Tim didn't pull out a switchblade while walking up to him. That seems a lot more like "willful act of defiance" than "slendy-control".


Where are you getting Tim had a switchblade

He's holding something in his right hand. I honestly believe it's the flashlight, but I could see how some would think it's a knife.

No, I don't think we've really gotten anywhere with the code. Noting the time that it was made on twitter, it's possible that it happened during the time shift, and it was simply the shift in time causing his phone to go haywire and post random numbers on twitter. I consider this unlikely though, since it didn't happen during the shift in time in Entry #23.

Possibly he didn't have his phone with him in 23? He may have forgotten it in his car or at home. Just throwing things out there, I really don't know what to make of it yet.

My comments seemed to get skipped over so I'll repost

First of all, it appears Jay is probably not hallucinating and, in fact, we can trust any source spotting him in so far as we can trust a source in this series. Oppy appeared in seconds for the camera, as he always does, displaying his power; who cares or knows whether or not Jay truly saw him or not because it seems that oppy just wants to say hi to just us, and only us, sometimes, who can say he doesn't have a similar relationship with Jay?

To fast forward after the Oppy attack. Is it me or does Tim seem awfully assertive towards the end? He seems to have a handle on the situation and just wants to get out of there, Jay too seems to be aware asking "Where is he (he being the operator is my guess)?" Also, have we seen a camera sustain such a clear shot during an operator attack ever?

My guess is Jay and Tim are feeling more confident with the operator nowadays and, perhaps, wanted to conjure this experience.


I doubt Tim and Jay would purposely try to summon TO. Tim does seem very assertive, because he knows that they need to get out of the area ASAP, and Jay's still freaking out. Kind of like when a kid wakes up from a bad dream, they still think whatever was in their dream is in real life.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Just because no one responds to you doesn't mean you are overlooked and that you need to repost what you said earlier. It's most likely because nobody agreed with you

You all are totally right, it's his flashlight. On my first viewing I thought I saw him pull it out of his pocket and flick it like a knife, but it's definitely a flashlight on a repeat viewing.
