I wonder: will the next Entry (hopefully Tim vs Alex) be like Entries 65 and 83? Or will it be more like the scene where Brian actually died

[PieAvenger]

Good God this entry. The trio really have evolved out of their "found footage" style and really put the effort into making great performances!

I like how they humanized the house before burning it down. Watching Tim do normal, human things made him already more lovable than that other guy who died... what was his name again? (lol jk )

Now what really startled me is

Alex: "I thought it was me, but you're the source!"

Is this because Alex watched Entry #84? If he did, then he probably noted that the Operator only started following him after he met Tim.

If you watch Entry #84, you'll notice that before Tim starts reading his lines and the screen goes black, there's a small glitch at the bottom of the camera. What could that mean? What else could there be in Entry #84 that would make Alex think that way?

Well whatever it was, Alex took note of that. And now he's blaming Tim for everything. But judging by how angry Alex is, it just seems like he wanted to find a reason to blame Tim for everything.

Alex: "Everyone is gone because of you! YOU left Jay! and YOU left Brian!

I can understand the first part of "you left Jay," but I can't really understand how Tim left Brian. Was it in Entry #51? Was it around the time that totheark posted "Isolation"? I'm not quite sure on that.

Maybe he means Tim as Masky, left Brian as Hoody as TTA?

I don't think Alex calling Tim the source of everything is just him trying to shift the blame off of himself.While I'm sure he likes blaming Tim it feels like Alex has pieced something together from all the entries. Alex is the source of all the original filming (Minus Tim's hospital tapes) so he's entirely likely to still have some info we don't know about. For all we know, he could've been referencing a hidden tape he has, much like #84 and Hoody having a secret tape he'd reference.
If I'm correct in my assumption that Alex has proof Tim's the cause of everything then I'm confident that "YOU KNOW where to find me" is talking about the hospital near Rosswood. That'd be the most fitting place for Tim to finally reveal his "secret". Plus, the really long hospital arc wouldn't feel so contrived any longer. It was the scene of Alex attacking Tim/Brian, the forming of TTA, Tim's medical history being revealed and his first contact with TO and the birth of Masky. Its really the source of all the hatred between Alex and TTA, so it feels fitting for Tim/Alex's final face-off to happen there and end the feud at last.

Alex may actually have motivation to upload the final entry then; he'd kill Tim and then post the footage alongside a tape proving Tim's the source of TO in order to justify his actions.
Alex would then probably give a final 'explanation' of the series from his point of view, explaining what Hoody's motive was, why Jay uploading the tapes was so terrible, and then write THE END, thus finishing the project he started so many years ago. Whether Alex turns himself into the police, gets slendernapped, or otherwise lives an empty isolated existence until he dies will be left to our imagination.

edit: To be clear, I'm implying that Tim's secret IS that he's the problem and he knew it. The whole series is really Tim letting Alex take the blame for his tragedy and watching all his friends get increasingly mental and killed off believing it.
At the very least, I expect Alex to

I still feel like too much in the series contradicts those lines, and they didn't plan this entry out well enough both in plot and dialogue.

"Everyone is gone because of you. YOU left Jay. YOU left Brian"

But Alex was the one that shot Jay and shot at Jessica. Even if you want to argue Alex was in a masky state when he shot Jay, he clearly wasn't when he pulled a gun on Jessica and in entry 52 as well. And even if he was, Masky saving Jay from Alex shows that the masked figures are in control of their own actions.

As far as the source line goes, how is Alex just finding out about that now? We found this out months ago during the hospital visit, and in game Alex watches the MH channel. This begs the question of why he didn't just kill Jay/Tim when he had the chance in entry 64 if he wanted them dead.


I really hope they go out with a bang. The reveal of Brian as Hoody was incredibly lackluster and the fact that all they had to show us in a penultimate entry was Tim's house being burned down to me says that they lack the creativity to go out with the bang I am expecting. I'm not saying that they aren't talented, just that they need to do things on a bigger scale than they have been.

I just want the past 5 years of watching to have a payoff. I don't need a happy ending or a realistic ending, I just need closure for these characters and an explanation as to why they were acting the way they were, both in and out of a masked state. If it just ends with Tim killing Alex and going on to live his life as the operator stalks him in the background unknown to him, I will never recommend this series to anyone else.

They need to cut down on worrying about focusing on moments that are eye-catching (like setting a house on fire) and worry more about fleshing out the details of the plot and characters before this is all over.
