So Tim blacked out for several hours, strongly suggesting he went Masky (which we'll probably see in a future Hoody entry), he's now completely out of pills so that could happen again, Hoody has the pills and therefore is basically in charge and to top it off, Tim just showed that even being kinda close to Alex for 4 seconds is enough to make him end up blacking out. Good luck doing anything alone from now on, Tim. It looks like he's going to be forced to work with Hoody, simply because he'll go full Masky otherwise and not be able to stand up to Alex.

While that's all very interesting, I'm sad to say I'm with the people saying this was disappointing. It was cool to think about what the ending implied but it's not particularly exciting to watch. As usual, Trosephim are friggin' amazing at building suspense... but again, they let the suspense just fizzle out. Heck, most of time there is a good payoff, it's more a case of "whoa, shit's getting real" rather than "damn this is terrifying." But that's still exciting and a damn sight better than Hoody walking past, then Alex walking past, then Tim coughing and rummaging around in his bag.

And again, only short term answers. We still have just as many major questions needing to be answered. Each entry that passes with no big reveals, the more worried I get. And you might say we can't get a big reveal every entry but we most likely have less than 9 entries left. I think we're due some big reveals. Or heck, just partial reveals. Something like Entry #80 would suit me. It felt like a real stepping stone to getting answers, since it could lead to Jay going to where TO keeps his victims.

I'm sad to say all this since this is probably the most impressive entry so far, from the standpoint of how far these guys go for their project. Tim just crawled around some cramped sewer tunnels. That beats out Troy going into a musty, most likely asbestos-filled maintenance tunnel. If anybody ever says these guys don't care about MH any more or they don't work hard enough, be reminded that Tim went into those sewer pipes for their project. That's dedication.

Finally, Led, that's a very interesting video. It gives some perspective on what was going on at what time.

Good solid entry. Nice work with the lip sync. And dang, simultaneous footage is going to screw with my timeline!

To me, it looks like some furniture/boxes move in the room between 3:34 and 3:41. We get a fairly well lit view of the stairs and a box is there at 3:34, but not at 3:41.

Also, it looks like Tim has a black leather bag that could be the one that Jay took from Alex in Entry #52. I don't think it's the same, but if it is that would explain why Tim didn't want Jay looking in his bag, and it also raises some questions about Entry #52 and Entry #33.

You know what would be cool? If they answer why Tim can't just get a refill for his pills by his going to see his doctor, only to discover that the doctor's gone missing and there's no trace that he ever existed, thus furthering the previous implication that TO can wipe people from all memory (see: Bruce) while giving a good reason for all the tension.

Actually, this entry is a little less filler than it seems. Tim's pills were stolen. This meant he couldn't stop his coughing fit this time, causing him to black out RIGHT AFTER Jay got shot. Tim couldn't do anything to help Jay at all, and that was probably Hoody's plan, to incapacitate Tim at that moment so he couldn't run in to save Jay. It seems like Hoody actually wanted Jay to get taken.

I wish Tim would take better care of his damn pills. No wonder he was so angry at Hoody - dude had his meds.

For ****'s sake Hoody stop being a **** and tell Tim what you want.

Okay so has no one seen the obvious human lurking around on top of that white thing at 0:59 - 1:14 ? It's clearly, to me at least on my laptop, hoody watching him approach the building.

No, I think that's just a black mark on the wall.

So, the sewer. Am I the only one that was waiting for a Tim/Operator chase like the one with Jay in entry #60?

Wow. After reading everyone's opinions on this entry, I wasn't expecting much. But I really enjoyed it...I found it to be quite creepy and surprisingly scary. I wonder if they got permission to crawl around in the tunnels or if they did everything on the sly...

Actually, this was quite clever of Hoody... he gets Tim to show up, steals the pills he needs and quite possibly gets Masky back as his co-conspirator.

As to why Tim can't go to his doc and ask for more pills... well, it's obvious Tim's been taking more pills than he should be per day, to hold off his Masky state/Operator control. He's already used up his refills. His doc's going to be pretty suspicious of his usage, and most likely not going to just hand him over another perscription. Also, meds can be extremely expensive without (or with) insurance. Usually they only pay for a short-term supply. So, it's not quite so simple.

Maybe #82 will involve Tim getting a tape of whatever happened in the hours between Jay being shot/Tim passing out and Tim getting back into Benedict Hall. But I don't see them dragging what happened at the school too far though.

I think if the continue to use the school as the backdrop for following entries its going to get really stale really fast - now that Jay has been shot there, I think its reached it's action capacity - whatever happened with Alex being kidnapped or whatever really happened is wrapping up, and I think the expose at the school is going to be done.

The tunnel scene was absolutely terrifying to me, being claustrophobic myself. I would never be able to crawl through those.

Thanks Led for the sync video - its really interesting and very well done.
Whoever first pointed out the gunshot in this entry also should get props, I never would've noticed that by myself, and I think it was a nice touch.

During Tim's black out, I think he did spend time as Masky - however, I don't know if we'll get footage from Tim about that - if we get any footage of that time, it'll be from Hoody. I think Tim would've said something if he had footage from that black out, or even if he remembered it. Tim is past keeping secrets from us, I think.

To all of those saying this entry was filler, filler is a crucial part of a suspense/thriller series. If you get action after action after action, you don't have a thriller. You have an action movie, so go call Jackie Chan to play Jay.

Despite that, I agree this entry was necessary for the not-so-hardcore fans - its good to know Tim's perspective, although we probably could've guessed it. The entry probably didn't have to be so lengthy, but I didn't mind. As a fan of suspense in general, (as I assume most of us are) being held in suspense on Jay's predicament, and even what really happened with Alex in the college, is a great tool.

On the whole who the cast should be catering to, I believe Trosephim doesn't try to appeal to easygoing people or hardcore viewers - their opinion on the project from the get go has been "We're going to do this how we want to do it, and it doesn't matter how many people agree with it". I believe that was the opinion expressed in commentary as well.

I liked the entry. The cool location adds to the suspense.

said that Benedict Hall was flooded before. That with the note that said "Benedict Hall. Find Alex. Find the Ark" makes me think there's something special in BH. Maybe since Alex is loose he's protecting something?


Alex is protecting Amy. Amy is the Ark.
