I feel like TTA's probably done for good, but I can see two ways they could continue TTA at this point:

1. TTA is not Hoody (or Hoody somehow survived), and we get a video (possibly even today, since 4/4) revealing this to us in the near future before they re-enter the game in the next arc of the series, and if the former case, their identity is eventually revealed as well.

2. Alternatively, at the very end of the series, after all the action's done, one final cryptic TTA is uploaded. It is left to us to try to interpret who the hell uploaded it.

And worth noting, April 4 does not mean a video OOG. The tradition has been that every year, something IG takes place on April 4. These events have not always been uploaded on that date, though. While the last two years had TTA vids on this date, enttry 37 was merely set on that date, but uploaded in March, and Entry 26, similarly, was uploaded a short while after Alex's birthday.

Basically, we don't necessarily get anything today. We might get a video in a few days or weeks time which reveals something that happened today IG.


Entry #38 was uploaded on April 4th. You're right about #26 though.

 		..Huh. I never noticed that. Since enttry 37 is clearly the one actually related to that date and its significance, I never bothered to check the dates of any nearby entries.

 		No TTA vid then. If hoody/Brian's still alive, he's probably decided to give himself time to recover.

 		Can't people post their theories here rather than creating a million new topic threads? Rolling Eyes

 		If they are sufficiently separate theories, then there shouldn't be an issue with it, as long as people discuss them in a civil fashion.

 		Someone made this theory that the actress for Sarah is Alex's sister because he couldn't find anyone else to play the part.

 		The more I think about it, the less convinced I am that we're going to see an Alex/Tim confrontation in the next entry. #84 did a great job of setting it up, but so did #74, and we all know how that went. Plus, think about it: not only does Tim know the house better than anyone, he's had plenty of time to set up who knows how many traps and ambush points. Alex has a gun, and that's about it. I know he has The Operator on his side, but it usually shows up after the action. And even if Alex did explore Tim's house while he was hiding in the attic and actually remembers it, he's not stupid. I highly doubt he's going to walk into a deadly confrontation after letting the other guy pick the battleground.

Strongly agree with these two, with 2. being the mostly likely to happen.
I think when the book closes with the entries there will be one more TTA vid as a post-script or something.

This is actually a very interesting bit of speculation. Hence why a shy seeming geeky dude would have the balls to be a dick to a decently attractive chick (Entry 9). Also explains why none of the other people involved, who are all (presumably) single dudes, mention her almost ever in conversion - typical bro code makes you a giant douche if you try to sleep with your friend's sister.

That's almost too good to be true. Hell, i'll believe it.

[THEORY]

Maybe one or more of the cast members broke the Bro-Code?

Tim always hated Alex because he was dating Amy. Brian had a thing for Sarah, but never wanted to tell Alex because of the fear that he would be pissed. Alex eventually made it worse because he casted them as romantic partners for the stars of Marble Hornets.

The passion between Brian and Sarah grew too real for the Marble Hornets movie that Alex was forced to cut production. Amy ended up cheating on Alex with Tim. Sarah and Brian ended up as secret partners. Alex wanted them both dead when his informant, Seth, found out and told him. However, Seth found out about Alex's plan and so he had to be eliminated as well.

Jay, being the odd man out without a love interest, was spared. He had his memory wiped until he met the illustrious Jessica which spurred a new love interest and a jealous rage in Alex.

Marble Hornets is a tragic love story that reflects their own realities with romance, loss, and heartache.

I can see where you're going with this stuff, and I know you know it's speculative and so won't be trying to raise that as an objection (because it could very well be right--but we need more info), but it seems either to minimize TO or convert it into some sort of warped, inverse Cupid. It humanizes the drama in a different way. Instead of seeing all of these characters (including Alex and Tim) as victims, it injects a sort of teen soapy melodrama aspect into the series. I personally think that makes it far less compelling. (Though I guess it could be an explanation for why TO stands around so much after Season 1 and almost exclusively after Entry #64--it's some sort of instigator of and maybe gravitational center of romantic entropy, lol.)

Also, Entry #84 suggests too much in-winking between Alex and Brian. I couldn't see Brian joking his way through an audition dialogue that showed that the jig was up. Nor can I see Alex being that obtuse--never mind what we all may think of what of the MH script (both original and rewrite) we've heard and seen filmed so far. I never got the sense that Alex was letting Brian knew that he knew that something was going on that needed to be put to an end, and soon. (Also, does this change the question posed in "Null" by Brian/Hoody/TTA of "Who will be left to hear your secret?" [I hope I'm remembering that correctly.])

Frankly, were this true, I think that in Entry #68
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Alex would have confronted and interrogated Brian/Hoody with a gun rather than rushing and grabbing him
.

About "the bro code," too--I see that, but I think there'd be a bit of sly humor when some of the guys (other than Alex) were alone, clever ways of talking around the code. We only have the clips that Jay, Tim, Alex, and Brian/Hoody have shown us but there's really no indication of that--and if that is an element of the mystery that we're overlooking, then it's probably also one that may never be solved given all the memory wiping and the possible loss of the earliest tapes save what's on YouTube and maybe on Jay's hard drive--we're eight years at least removed from the start of the MH project and all of the motivations that influenced its initial stages and the doomed MH shoot.

Have you ever worked with an imperious student arTIST before? (Same goes for student activists and student academic politicians who think that becoming treasurer of the Poli Sci Club is going to launch them to the White House someday.) Gender roles and stirrings of romantic attraction (whether Sarah was Alex's sister and Brian, Alex's star, was hot for her or whether Sarah maybe was unrelated to anyone but maybe Alex at the start, had some affection for her--it's not clear when he met and started his relationship with Amy) are quickly and unceremoniously dropped by the wayside in pursuit of the fulfillment of The Vision (TM).

 		I think the humorous intent of that post went over someone's head...

I figured it a third of the way through writing but had already written too much to delete my post; I'd already committed myself.
