I thought the reason Jay didn't remember his trip to the other side of the tunnel was because he was chasing TiMasky at the time, and therefore had other things on his mind. That's what he seemed to be implying, before Tim cut him off irritably to point out that he didn't remember that, and confirmed that he didn't remember any of his actions as the Masked Man.

Different subject: I just rewatched, and it looked to me like Jessica dropped the gun and picked the flashlight back up just before she ran away. For whatever that observation's worth.

its worth a lot, it also means Alex was the last to have the gun. And it explains where the gun had gone, but does that mean Hoody has his own gun, or the same gun.

Didn't they say at some point in the series that nobody has been on the other side of the tunnel or something? That's what causes Jay to say that line.

Jay also says in 64 "something's on the other side alex doesn't want us to see! lets go!" - that could be a huge red herring, but it could also be a dead giveaway.

I'm not arguing in favor of the other side is the ark theory, but the fact that they've brought up the other side of the tunnel multiple times has to mean something. If it was just another normal area they wouldn't have brought it up.

The tunnel just seems to be one of several places where the Operator's presence is the strongest, which Alex has been gathering in his ever growing collection of sacrificial grounds. We know one is Alex's house (until it burned down after S1), one is the red tower in the park, one is the field outside Tim's house, another is the burned out school which Alex was a big fan of for a while, and then there's the tunnel.

That's why Alex doesn't just go around smacking people in the head whenever he feels like it - the Op ain't gonna just show up wherever - and it's also why he doesn't need to drag every single victim to one specific location. Choice is convenience!

Now it might turn out that some Operator stomping grounds are more important than others, but so far I don't think we've seen any indication of that.

I never bothered posting here because I wouldn't add anything new, but I just realized a metaphor.

I just find it cool and interesting that Jessica's face is not shown until she is woken up. She is "knocked out" or heavily affected by TO. JUST SAYIN' IT'S A COOL METAPHOR (or some form of it)

to add on to the Tunnel argument, I always assumed it was basically where TO lingers around for the longest. His home. So he sees Jessica and is like "Damn girl, you ran out on me but now you come back? **** YOU!"...orr Operator be Operatin"

QUESTION: if TO was able to snatch Jessica when she walked to the other end of the tunnel and lay her out for Alex, then how come alex told jay and Tim to "leave now" when they were about to walk to the other side? Wouldn't alex want them to walk to the other side so TO could snatch them up for him? Alex obviously wants to find Tim and jay.
EDIT: I apologize, I didn't see that was asked already. But can someone please clarify?

So this is how I see it:

At the end Masky and Hoody failed to save her, so Masky takes off the mask. Tim is now in the woods near a camera. He sees this tape. Jay isn't in this video so he does not associate him to the events yet. He goes to get mental help.

Jay pops up and Tim doesn't make the connection to everything until he sees Hoody. So he searches for MarbleHornets, he's super pissed at being used by Jay and never gets around to telling him about Jessica because he wants it all to end.

You know, this Entry makes me retroactively scared for Jay. Even more so than others. I mean, #49 made me realize the if Jay had parked in a less populated area in #47, that easily could've been him. But this one... Jay had no memory of what went down in #52. Now that we know Alex was actively searching for him and Jessica after that, it paints a scary picture: at any time during Jay's outings between Entries #27-33 he could have crossed paths with Alex, and he would have had no idea the danger he was in. He wouldn't have thought anything of Alex asking him to come with him to an isolated location, especially if he added a promise of explaining all the craziness Jay had experienced. Jay would probably have just been happy to have his friend back. When I thought of all this it chilled me to the bone.
