It almost makes me wonder if anyone has ever crossed that tunnel. Maybe Alex killed bruce because he actually did get too close to the tunnel entrance. He did keep whispering "stop following me" as he was walking there, and maybe he thought the person following him (who was actually jay) was bruce.

Whatever's on the other end, Alex was watching over it two times now to make sure nobody got past. He waited in that tunnel entrance for a while until bruce came along, killed him, then immediately left.


Just having rewatched Entry 50, Masky leads Jay to the tunnel and looks like he goes through it expecting Jay to follow him. But I don't think they will be heading back to Rosswood park any time soon as they just left there to head back to College town. I think they are going to stay around there for a bit.



I just hope if they do it's for worthwhile entries. I don't want to see them walk around the park from entry 4. The tower provided nothing, Alex's house only has that attic left but good luck getting either of them to go there with the operator lurking around. I don't know of anywhere else they could go from season 1 entries that they haven't been back to that they would still have OOG access to.

Very curious as to how the operator found them btw. Alex didn't know where they were, but the operator clearly did. Maybe the operator doesn't keep alex in the know as much as we'd think. Or maybe the operator just knows where Jay is at all times (would make sense according to 40 and 52). But one thing I don't get is why Alex was going to kill Jay in 52, and then lets him live in 64 when he clearly is watching him.

The fact that Alex even warned Jay implies, to me, that there is some good left in him. Then again, a lot of characters actions are weird. Hoody could have killed Alex and didn't (even though he claimed he wanted to kill Alex), seemingly saved his bullets for the operator.

Slender Sickness also causes a 'Proxy' to develop from a form of DID, to escape the trauma of The Operator and his effects on a person

Okay, so I was having a brainfart moment and I had to look up what DID was (Dissociative identity disorder, AKA multiple personality disorder) and I stumbled across another acronym for DID- Direct Inward Dialing. Considering Oppy's connection to phones, I figured it might be worth looking into... according to Wikipedia, Direct Inward Dialing is "a feature offered by telephone companies for use with their customers' private branch exchange (PBX) systems. In DID service the telephone company provides one or more trunk lines to the customer for connection to the customer's PBX and allocates a range of telephone numbers to this line (or group of lines) and forwards all calls to such numbers via the trunk. As calls are presented to the PBX, the dialed destination number (DNIS) is transmitted, usually partially (e.g., last four digits), so that the PBX can route the call directly to the desired telephone extension within the organization without the need for an operator or attendant."

Of course, this might just be a coincidence, but I figured it couldn't hurt to bring it up... what do you guys think?

 		"Might" be a coincidence? Although it's pretty clear Tim has something along the lines of DID, that disorder has never been referred to by that name IG at any point, so I think anything else sharing its acronym is entirely a coincidence. A fascinating coincidence, to be sure, but not one that will likely have any direct significance to the story. Nice find, though.

I donno man. Are we all in agreement that TO has a connection to Tim's clinic? If that's the case, I highly doubt he's that kind of operator.

First, I agree about Alex probably still having some good in him.

Second, I agree that they're going to have to go to the other end of the tunnel ultimately, but I suspect that's a little ways off yet. I think they're not done with College Town, though they're probably going to stick to relatively new locations within College Town (like Alex's House in 72, for instance.) Meanwhile, the playground itself wouldn't be interesting, but something interesting could happen while they're there.

In any case, we had so much Rosswood at the start of this season that I'd rather they not return to the tunnel until closer to the endgame. I'd much rather either revisit the Hotel or find some brand new locations (and I think they once said that they have lots of good OOG locations to use, and the problem is more incorporating them into the plot.)

Above the comment box,click on the "Spoiler" thingy (bottom row,first box).Type everything you want "spoilered" and when you are done,click that "Spoiler Box" above again.This will red out all the type within the parameters.

Hard to incorporate into the plot? They can't be that bad at writing scripts, I can think of at least a few ways to incorporate new areas into the plot easily. The hotel would cost them some money, plus they would have to deal with people walking through hallways and stuff, and on top of that if the rooms are changed again (cause they already changed them once) then they'd be really screwed. I personally don't think going back to the hotel would enhance the series in any way. I also personally think going back to more areas we've already seen would be boring.

Hey, I'm just relaying what I recall them saying. It was less that it was hard to incorporate them and more that they had more creepy locations than they knew what to do with. And we don't know what their plan for the rest of the plot is or what those locations are, anyway.

 		I think they could maybe go back to the house from 16,18 and 23 but The Operator could also be lurking around there...or maybe where Jay's apartment was like maybe Totheark or Hoody left something there or maybe Tim when he was Masky but Alex's house probably have nothing left in that attic unless it's like more tapes which would be weird.

This is what I think the worst part about the series is. We've already seen all those areas, it really hinders the quality of things when they just reuse old environments just for a callback. Finding more tapes would just be dragging on the story at this point, they need to make some shit HAPPEN in present day already

 		Yeah I really think they should go somewhere else or have someone major to appear or like a major reveal like of Hoody's identity or Totheark's.

Actually no, it doesn't, i want to see what is the importance of the tunnel, i want to see what happened in the tunnel that Alex and Hoody got on, i want to see where Jessica ran off to, what is the relevance of the basement of doom, all the crew's houses.

Before expanding the MH universe i'd love to see them providing some answers over all the things that happen on those places. Unless the answers are somewhere else, but i think that would likely raise even more questions. (Wich is the main problem with the series)

 		To be fair, it's not as easy now to add new locations as it was in the earlier seasons. Just about everywhere they've been to has been because it appeared on one of Alex's tapes, whether the ones he's given Jay or those he's tried to burn. Jay and Tim would need a really good reason to go somewhere new, and after the last TO encounter they're probably even more skittish than when they knew Alex was on their tails. Plus, they can only stretch "because Alex filmed/lived there once" as an excuse to go somewhere so far, especially now that Jay seems to be done with the burnt tapes.

Not that it's impossible to do it, by a long shot. Just with what the crew's done so far they could always find more tapes in the attic that lead to new places, but judging from a lot of the reactions to the burnt tapes people would call foul. Of course, TTA could always give a helpful hint, but he/she has been quiet for a while now.

There are other ways. Before Jay and Tim teamed up, after seeing his documents, I was sure he was going to seek out Janet. Whether or not he found her, it was a good excuse for new locales.

Confused Who's Janet? Jessica? Amy? Sarah? Jay's long-lost cousin? (Don't mean to be rude, I'm assuming it was just a typo or something, but I really don't know who you meant.)
