So I just watched the DVD, and yeah I agree thats Teddy alright on the bridge. I think a key factor here is none of the viral has mentioned anything about the attack, AKA, all of this, including this still alleged IG blog is predating the attack. Assuming this is also along that line, I've come to this conclusion:
Teddy's pic shows up on 1-18-08. Most people who see that then watch the DVD closely will see him. Now since this an "investigation of a case" Tagruato takes over any evidence with the ID of the sword logo. It's on everything except this blog. Remember they took over the Tidowave's headquarters and had Jamie's phone # so tracing her IP address and hacking her computer would be easy.

So the "alpha" (meaning first as Alpha is the first letter of the greek alphabet) sighting is tagged as evidence and placed on DVD as the news reports. Tagruato, now faced with the loose monster, is trying to cover its tracks.

Where this blog is going is probably another lead-up to a CGI video like how we got the Chaui disaster. I would suspect it would be either posted on Cloverfieldfiles.com or Alyse's blog as a link to Youtube. I would suspect it would be up within a week or two after 4/22 as they know they can't hold everyone's interest that long without giving us something.


I agree. Maybe it's just us, but every since seeing that photo, it just looks like the camera intentionally lingers on the guy on the bridge for a bit. Could be wrong, but it's fun to think about.

First, I don't think that looks like Teddy.

Second, Rob's surprise party was mentioned on the MySpace pages on Jan 18. So according to the ARG, the attack happened on 1-18-08. We all know that is inconsistent with the movie, but oh well, they messed up, get over it. The only activity since 1-18-08 have been the sword updates, and the Missing Teddy Hanssen stuff, which assumes all the MySpacers died in the attack.

Alyse Hanssen only cares about finding her brother, so just because she doesn't mention the attack on her blog doesn't mean it didn't happen.

The attack happens May 2-23 2009.
IG we are past that date
May 2-23 2009 IG = Jan 18-19 2008 RL

Most of the IG sites quit dating things to try and keep the confusion down, but they had already messed that up, also, some places they can't change the date. So they have kept the dates on things current w/ RL dates so we can reference time passing easier. (however, its mostly only confused the issue more)

ie. in the games universe they went to Coney island in late april, but our RL date shows that as being the end of december. since it was x number of weeks before the attack.

ie: Jaimes gift was opened on April 9 2009 IG, not December 2007, just if they had given the date as April 9 it would have really screwed us up (we may have missed it, or people would still be waiting..) so they gave the RL date for our convenience.

 		If we are past the attack IG, I wonder why there's been no mention of it on any of the viral sites.

I really hope that's not the case because that kind of ruins the illusion if she says December in the video but it's really April. Ugh. I personally don't think there is any reason to think that one video takes place in April.

Like the MySpace page says, time is an illusion, and I'm not sure it's just a witty quote. *shrug* The game could be back before the attack now after going past it, a shifting timeline of sorts, where now we'll (hopefully) get a payoff on May 22nd. I have trouble explaining exactly what I mean, but I'm happy to try and clarify.

I think that if we were post-attack in-game, Alyse would have at least mentioned that it was a Tagruato tanker that was the first attack site of the Cloverfield case. But I could be wrong. And probably am.

I think it does look like Teddy, I think it was your website that had the side-by-side pictures? The main thing I noticed besides the same general build was the ears. If you look at random people's ears, if you aren't beaten up for being a weirdo you'll notice that people have very unique ears in general, and Teddy and bridge dude's ears look quite similar. And the camera does seem to linger on him a bit.

That being said, I don't think it is Teddy. I think Teddy is dead or far in hiding, in-universe, for numerous reasons. It seems to me that if Chuai's sinking didn't kill him, Tagruato did for infiltrating them on behalf of Tidowave.


Hell, to go completely silly, Teddy could be the hero of the 2nd movie, trying to get back to NYC in time to warn the populace and his nutjob girlfriend. And Epic Failing, of course.

So I dunno. Sorry for the ramble, it's past my bed time, and inching into alarm time.


Edited to say: Sorry if this has been answered, but I can't think off the top of my head what movie Alyse is referring to in her first blog. Possible clue?

No mentions because TIDO Wave went into hiding just before ithappened, Slusho and Tag (publicly) werent involved in the attack and have no reason to mention it (especially of they are hiding something), Alyse has no reason to connect the attack to Teddy's disappearance (TIDO was the last contact she had for him), and everyone involved with the ARG that actually witnessed the attack (the myspace pages) are either displaced and may not have computer access (Lily, who is either homeless or in Gov. custody) or dead (everyone else w/ a myspace)

The only other website then would be 1-18-08 which showed the carnage leading up to the attack.. then the missing poster after.. Linking those for us outside the world.

As to some reasons to note the spring dates of the jaime videos happening in April and not December. Spring clothing, no heavy jackets, etc. Bright sunlight through her window, not grey. No mention of the cold.
People dress different in a small apartment in the winter than in the warm months. I've lived in the US North East and trudged through snow. You put a bunch of extra blankets and comforters on the bed and put on some layers.

 		Whatever reason, I don't think it's safe yet to say that video officially took place in spring. If that's the case, they really should have just kept all of the dates IG because it's making it all the more confusing, especially if we're supposed to look at this as evidence and such - could they have missed a small detail such as the date IG but have her wearing spring clothes? I personally don't think it matters that much, but I'd be amazed if they gave us different dates IG just for our convenience.

Not exactly our convenience. After the first couple photos on 1-18-08 were timestamped they were stuck having to do the ARG as if the attack was in Jan. That and the myspace pages the ARG used couldnt change the dates on the entries. Once the date discrepency was noticed (which I honestly believe was after the start of the ARG. I love communication foulups) they were stuck, and most game sources quit using exact dates unless they had to. eventually I think they quit caring about the dates at all.

It's indisputable the attacks already occured because of the myspace pages and Jaime's video. Both sources mention the party the movie starts with. Jaime is actually wearing the short party dress we see her in during the movie, making her video as she leaving for the party itself. That movie is inarguably May IG and Jan RL, from there we can backward place all the dates in the ARG occurring in spring.

 		Ah, I see. I forgot about the inactivity on the myspace pages. And the party dress. That makes more sense now. Time to use imagination and pretend I guess.

 		Interesting: No updates since 4/22 on the blog. Where have we seen something go dead at the date of a release?
Right!

 		There's a reason there's no activity on the MTH blog. I had sex with Alyse Hanssen so violently that her head fell off. I'm currently trying to reattach it, but I'm running out of duct tape and man glue. I'll keep you informed.

 		Ok, about all this in-game/real life timeline crap...

How about this: He only said the date was May 23 in the ALTERNATE ending which DIDN'T make it into the movie. So to me, it's not part of the movie and therefore not part of the game. So when they say December, they mean December, not April.

Edit: Also, Paramount would not have used blogger for MissingTeddyHanssen's blog. When in all of the ARG before the Alyse blog was Alyse even mentioned? As far as we know he's an only child. I think you're being quick to believe it's in-game because you really want an update, but in all honestly, Bad Robot and Paramount wouldn't have used blogger for the blog because it would cause too much confusion about whether it's in game or not...as it's doing now.

 		He mentions the date at the beginning of the movie, and the part at the end when he says the date is part of ALL endings. The alternate endings are only ~2-5 seconds long.

rari: Who ever said he was an only child? Besides, this is in-game. The creation and original posts of the blog predate the poster on 1-18-08.com by several hours.

 		I said as far we know, he is. No one ever mentioned a sister or anything of the sort.

Also, I thought we had already established that the dates of the blogs had been tampered with.

edit: or at least, COULD have been.
