This entry should have been titled "The Daily Life of Tim"

Alex is kidding himself thinking that Tim is solely responsible for everything that has happened, Tim may have led TO to them (and this has not been confirmed) but Alex did all the murderising.

There is nothing at this point that would convince me that Alex is innocent, he's just trying to push the blame onto someone else to save what little sanity he has left.

HOLD IT!

Did Alex JUST find out this was all Tim's fault by process of elimination? Because if he knew all along then he could have killed Tim from the start. Alex knew Brian was Hoody, but Hoody seemed to know more than everyone else and still tried to keep Tim around.

I'm so damn lost.

I make no bones about being a Tim-apologist, and am therefore biased, but I am rather skeptical about Alex being right about this being Tim's fault. In 53, he seemed to think it was Jay's fault. Since I rather doubt that 8year-old Tim drew a pentacle, slaughtered a goat, and summoned the Operator, whose "fault" it is is a moot point anyway.


AAAAARRRGGGH! I can't WAIT for the next entry!

As others have insinuated, Alex seems to blame Tim for Jay's disappearance because The Operator appears to have originated with Tim exclusively (so far as we know). Perhaps Alex sees offing all of the MH crew members as the only way to pacify TO, and thus sees it as a necessary evil. From the beginning, their sacrifices would not have been necessary had Tim not introduced TO into their lives.

Tim is a very tragic character because it's almost certain that he did nothing to deserve what TO has done to him; after all, he was just a child when we're led to believe TO took an interest in him.

From Alex's point of view, however, Tim is indeed the source of TO for the Marble Hornets crew. Given the psychological stress Alex has been under (along with what may be general sociopathy, although some of the very early MH footage indicates Alex was fairly normal), it's understandable that Alex would be looking to assign blame to someone other than himself. From Alex's point of view, Tim brought TO into the lives of the MH crew, and their lives have been ruined because of it. Although Alex is certainly no saint, I think this background is where his statements in this entry are coming from.
