 		I do hope we end on a prime number.

 		Holy crap, I caught the new entry 35 minutes after it was uploaded?! WOW!

Jay looks about ready to kill both of them. I mean, I don't blame him. Hoody could have done a bit more than drop the knife and write on the mirror though.

 		If Jay kills Tim (or tries to), it means he's an idiot.

But this is Jay we're talking about.

 		I think Jay at this point has lost almost all grip of reality, and what matters most to him (finding Alex and Tim) is the only thing keeping him from going completely off the deep end.

 		Yeah, Jay is one fulfilled goal away from being a crazy homeless college kid ranting at trees.

Uh...

Are we seriously supposed to buy Jay was tied up there for 15 days with no food or water?

This is after we're being expected to buy that both Jay and Tim took almost 2 months to get round to checking out an address Alex was supposedly at. Under the circumstances, it makes no sense that Jay took 3 weeks to watch a tape, over a month to ask Tim about said tape and 15 days to be freed from his bonds. This is why people are suggesting OOG time =/= IG time because it makes no goddamn sense. But the thing is, OOG time IS IG time because at the end of Entry #77, Tim said Jay's been acting dangerous over the past few months. Why haven't they planned this out better? This is just ridiculous. Put some effort into making this series make sense, geez. And less over-a-month wait times for a short entry in a main actor's house followed by an even shorter entry in that same house.

The really sad part is these are the final entries and this is when they decide to thoroughly bury any remnants of suspension of disbelief deep into the earth.

Go re-watch Entry 77. Jay clearly realized he's useless with weapons. His weapon is his camera, which is unfortunate because it only does 1d2 damage.

This wasn't really filler, just not really enough to constitute it's own entry. It makes sense for OOG reasons though. And this needed to be showed.
Hoody wants Jay to get stuff done, but he's obviously sick of his shit. I really just want to know who Hoody is, and what his angle is...Why can't he do whatever he wants Jay to do.

Other than that I don't have much to say, this forum has become way too volatile to spend much time on anymore.

i assumed that not much time had passed, i don't think we are supposed to believe he was tied up for long before Hoody rescued him.

 		Nuts, there goes my "Jay is Hoody theory." Now I'm going to have to go with "Hoody is Jay from the Future" theory.

 		Yeah, I don't believe IG time correlates to OOG time anymore. It would just be impossible.

Jay wasn't there for very long. The question is how Hoody knew he was there. It looks like the same time of day as when Tim left, so it was either shortly after he departed or the day after Tim posted the video. Either way, being ziptied for hours? Ouch.

Again, I'm pretty sure that they are playing fast and loose with the timeline for OOG production reasons.

Which sucks for me, because I'm one of the people who was pushing to get a definite timeline hammered out for the wiki. :p

Well, knowing that Hoody has the habit of following them... Razz

 		It is unfortunate that there was such a gap between the previous one and this one, but I do understand why it (it being the split up of this from the previous and succeeding entries) was done. Story-wise, we needed to know that Tim and Jay had split. We needed to know that Hoodie had freed Jay. And we'll need to know what comes next. All three of those are distinct story beats, and it makes sense to kind of split them up into three parts (if this was a book, you could see them as being chapters, with this one being a kind of "beat" chapter designed for emphasis. You have the Final Warning, the confirmation that we're back to the original protag's PoV, and casting doubt on the multi-protag or protag-swap we were teased with the previous. Now we'll see whose PoV we get next, and a delay between this story beat and that makes sense from a pacing perspective). The problem comes from the large gap between the first and second beat, and what will probably the large gap between this second beat and the third.

They've said before (back during Season 2, or maybe early Season 3 iirc) that while they attempt to keep the story moving at pace with OOG time, due to production reasons, school, life, etc they simply are not able to do it at times. So while they will often structure the plot around time gaps (see the hiatus between the first two seasons as a good example: the memory wipe and catching up on it via tapes is less of a story Thing and more of a production thing that led to that particular story conceit. Just so happened it worked for that part of the story quite well), they sometimes cannot do it, and have said not to equate the IG time and OOG as being equal.

That'd be fine, without the end text of Entry #77. 15 days between the last entry and this can be cleared if what you say is true. Unfortunately though, they've still confirmed IG that it's taking months for either of them to go to that address.
