Another clarification (and in MY opinion,pretty noteworthy) was what did and did not happen when Tim "confronted" TO.He was quite clear about there being no real exchange between them,as in no bargaining like had been previously speculated upon.
He said that he just "disappeared".

OOG:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It could be a picture taken for the sake of comedic value, but on Troy's twitter 2 days ago, he uploaded that picture of Tim "rehearsing" laying on the ground. That sure as hell wasn't in this entry, meaning they've already done/partially done part of #75. It'll probably be out sooner than later.


I do kinda think this would've made a better .5 Entry. I kinda agree with it not really advancing the plot, but it was a needed Entry. We got answers to questions we wanted answering.

I do actually expect the next Entry in the next couple days, for once.

The thought of possession crossed my mind, but that hasn't really been introduced before, has it? It would be a bit odd to throw that in.

So, I guess I'm not sure.

Wow, first time I have manged to watch an Entry before bed! (It's just gone 02.30am here in good old England)

I thought that was an interesting episode. We got confirmation on who was at the house, the idea that the pills defend against Mr Slenderman and that they are going to confront Alex (in the dark it seems).

Another thing this video seemed to do is cement the fact that Tim has basically become our protagonist and eyes in the series, and how Jay is becoming increasingly unreliable as a narrator. That being said, I still don't trust Tim 100% either. The way this is going, ToTheArk is quickly becoming the most trust worthy character . . .

I think Entry 75 will be up quicker then before. They seem to be going to face Alex right after the event of this video, so unless they go through some sort of wibbly wobbly timey wimey thing I dont see how they can put off uploading the events of that battle within the next few days.

Well, that was unexpected.

How did Jay look so out of it at first, but suddenly was back to himself? Was it something Tim did?

I was surprised that Tim didn't bring up the tape that Hoody picked up and put back. They finally didn't go that route.

At last, answers! Let's hope for a new entry soon.

Did anyone notice that this was the first time Hoody was mentioned more specifically?

The plot did move, though. Jay has been out of it for a long time, and now that he's awake and recovered, he and Tim can continue their investigation!

I assumed Jay was in a kind-off sleepwalking phase, and Tim woke him up simply by interacting with him. Certainly more to this then meets the eye I think . . .

I think the same can be said about the Operator.

Didn't look like anything more than Jay just being groggy to me. Might have just gotten out of bed or something.

Not a great entry, but the confirmations about Entry 73 are important, and like someone else said it is building tension for Entry 75.

Additionally, and something which I find to be quite easily the best part of this entry, was 6:26 onwards to the end. From a cinematographic standpoint it is just so good. With knowledge that they are making it a big plot point that the vital pills are being depleted and essentially fought over and right after the revelation that the plot is moving on to something exciting you can see how this ending is genius.

It's clear it's intentional and I think it goes to show that even in entries which could be argued as useless or terrible there are gems crafted from genuine talent.

Could be, but Jay just standing outside very loosened up then Tim strictly pointing (to the correct door, maybe) made me think that Jay was so out of it that Tim had to point him where to go all the time, but I guess I was wrong.

This entry wasn't amazing or groundbreaking, but it surely advanced the plot more than in a long time and we got some questions answered. Not bad to end the day.

Awesome scene

So, you know how in action movies after some stuff happens that causes all the people to be in their right positions, and before the main battle scene there's that small pep talk or briefing that when you see you just know everything's going to come to one last confrontation?

I think we just had that moment.

Who knows, maybe the confrontation can be the last Entry. But I doubt it.

Didn't think about that, but you're right. Also I think going back so soon is a really bad idea, Jay's not gonna be able to watch Tim's back in his condition.

This is probably to add further conflict and apprehension to the endgame, which seems like it's moving in quickly now. Once it's time for Final Boss, Jay won't be at his best, which will make for drama, suspense, and God knows what else.

Watch the pills just wind up being full of sugar, and Tim was just resisting with sheer force of will.

Side note, Jay still acts like kind of a prick towards Tim sometimes. I'm starting to wonder if the dude just doesn't have very good social skills.

Quote:
I do want to note, however, that it seems out of character for Jay to suddenly be all "Man, I don't want your drugs!" in this entry. I suppose it could be chalked up to him being out of sorts, but in the past he was practically begging for Tim's help.


I think it's that he doesn't want to admit that he has a problem, continuing his denial from entry 72.


I think he's afraid of admitting he's turning into Alex.
