The Operator

I thought that too, but it's difficult to tell. Also, when Tim flees Benedict Hall, there's some massive, Operator-level distortion, but the Operator is either not present or not making its presence known.

Kind of a bittersweet entry to me, it was scary watching Tim going through the claustrophobia tunnels but the only relevant thing in the video is at the very end where Tim starts coughing when he sees Jay and the fact that he has no pills meaning that if he turns into Masky then what will happen?

I can't really defend the entry as being eventful, but after the last, extremely eventful entry I think that's kinda okay. Mind you that was a month ago. I dunno, sometimes entries register as disappointing with me, this one didn't. I mean to be honest I think it was necessary to bridge the gap between what happened in 80 and whatever is coming next.

A) We needed to know the context of Tim in those entries. You can say it was unnecessary, I personally think Tim is our protagonist, there's no reason for him to just not share it with us.

B) We needed the air cleared on what Tim think of all of this. He does seem to think Jay is gone, and I suspect he's right. He also wants to pick up where Jay left off, which is a big deal, at least to me. It establishes Tim's motives. Also, I found the thing about his meds disappearing important, insofar as wherever the plot is going next. Which is actually another point, its hard to say how important this entry is until we see the ones after it.

C) The part in the tunnel was really scary to me and I'm not even really claustrophobic, and that probably contributes to my opinion on it.

So I dunno I'm not gonna try to logically argue the entry wasn't filler, I don't think it was, but that's probably cause I just subjectively enjoyed it. I liked Tim's perspective a lot, and I liked the coughing fit distortion part with the pills. Also, I think it's important to remember, we theorized a lot of this like Tim getting in from underground and such, but that's cause we've had a month between the guess a thousand different things. That doesn't make showing it unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.

Commenting just because I caught it early Smile
Very suspenseful, but also uneventful.

Here is the screen cap of 5:50ish, some frames look like TO, but it isn't. (Also I assume Tim would have noticed).



Also did Alex's presence really make Tim cough and get slendersick so drastically? Perhaps it was the combination of TO + Alex in the same building?
(Or of course Alex *is* the TO, in the sense that he contains him/brings him with him)

I wouldn't say last entry was "extremely" eventful, it just seems that way because something actually happened for once. And this entry was really dragged out for no apparent reason. This should have been trimmed down and just been tacked on to the beginning of next entry. The things we learn aren't much payoff for all the time we have to sit watching Tim crawl around. There isn't much suspense since we already knew that Tim is ok since he picked up Jay's camera last entry.

I liked it.

I wonder why the pills were stolen this time. Does Hoodie want him to go Masky?

14 minutes of build up for nothing. Really what's the point? I love the series, but waiting weeks and weeks just for this is a total bummer, I just want to see the end and be done with it.

I liked this Entry! Built up suspense and it was nice to have an answer to how Tim got out of Benedict Hall. And professor, I CALLED it that there would be footage from the day before. And I haven't taken a second look, but was that Hoody only when Tim took a peek at the sewer.

Seems like this is the end of Jay for now.

Wow this is up early! Caught me off guard.

Okay, first thoughts:

It made me smile to hear Tim spin a tale about restarting a friend's film project.

It feels good to know I was right about why Tim was running form the building in the last entry: he saw Alex (who didn't see Tim) and booked it.

Kudos to whoever said the manhole would be important. I'd go further and say we'll be seeing a lot more of the sewers in future entries. remember how the Hospital, Rosswood, and the College are in close proximity to each other? I bet we're going to revisit all of them, via the sewer.

Tim is out of medicine, so he could Mask-out at any time. Of course, his favorite tackle-target is MIA, so...

And I have to admit: I understand and agree that it was important to know what Tim was doing during #80, but this entry left me feeling... underwhelmed. Let's just say I really hope things pick up in the next entry.

This entry had people dissapointed? Need I remind that Jay was taken in the last entry? You know, the main character we've been with for years? He was taken. Do you really expect every entry to be packed full of surprises and thrills?

Well, no. But since not much happened in this entry, it could've been cut down a bit. I certainly don't think it warranted fourteen minutes.

Uneventful entry. Oh well. An interesting shot anyway:



Seems to have a few frames crammed into each other on the bottom glitchy part. Some seem to be from various entries.
