 		I like what you got here, I'm going to pop in my own 2 cents.

Well, evidence points to Tim being masky/TTA, at this point, but I don't think it's 100%. Damn close, though.

Here's my theoretical sequence of events..

First, something happens around the time of the original Marble Hornets taping, that causes some issues with Tim. Possibly, this is what's happening to J currently.

Tim obtains 'da peelz' (or pills, if you prefer) from god-knows-where, which prevent/protect against what ever is in the process of happening to him. Sometime around now, he appears in entry 20, suffering some minor ill effects because he just started taking the pills. Some coughing/distortion. He takes da peelz for the next several years and 'recovers' but needs to still take them to remain healthy/stable.


In addition to the pills Tim points the SM entity to Alex giving it a new target and allowing him to recover.

Badgerconda wrote:

Tim, living in (or possibly just stashing his belongings or hiding out in) Brian's old house, meets with Jay for the interview. He appears normal and causes no distortion because he's been taking 'da peelz' for so long.


Jay's interaction with Tim points SM back at Tim. The symptoms start to come back so he goes to get his pills but...

Badgerconda wrote:

Jay, in the VERY NEXT ENTRY goes to Brian's old house, searches around, finds Tim's water bottle, and his pills. Takes Tim's last full bottle of da peelz (the source of which is no longer available?) and Tim finds himself out of medication. Starts to go crazy/get sick, and transforms into he who we now know as Masky.


I'm thinking TTA may be Alex who didn't successfully "re-point" SM to someone else since Jay didn't watch the videos right away. Tim is sees that Jay is going to go back again and decides this may be his chance to get his pills back and dawns the Masky.

Badgerconda wrote:

Now, if he's TTA, he lures Jay back to the house with his entry-- otherwise, he just keeps his eyes open, and attacks Jay when he happens to return. Possibly trying to recover the pills, or failing that, get an opportunity to follow Jay to wherever the pills are.

During his attack, he has a seizure (because he no longer has 'da peelz' so the progression of whatever started happening to him three years ago continues), and Jay gets away.

After this, Masky lurks in Jay's room, and in his semi-feral state takes an entire bottle of peelz to try and fix himself.... and hasn't been heard from/seen since. Is Tim cured? did he OD and die? or something even worse?

 		I posted this on SA. Wanted to let you guys read it too.


Maybe Slenderman is a burn victim, hence no face, that died in the forest fire. He haunts the park and Alex/crew were disturbing him and so he tried to scare them off by showing himself, but it didn't work and Alex kept coming back wanting more (subconsciously). So Slenderman finally marked Alex and tried to keep him at bay by trying to confine Alex to his own house by stalking\following him everywhere he went.

Slenderman could have been stalking the whole crew, but only Alex was the one who noticed it and brought light to it.

Everyone noticed Alex being more and more aggressive, but what about Tim, he wasn't the nicest guy around neither. Always harassing Alex about scripts, and what not. And still to the day 'snapped' at J during the interview. "Can we move along here I need lunch" something along those lines. Tim seems to always be on the move, doesn't like staying at one spot for long maybe.

Brian's missing time is well pointed out through the videos. So what is Brian doing all the time? Did Slenderman get to Brian 1st and confined him to his own bedroom (upstairs).

Notice in a couple Entries that Alex is confined into an unfinished room. Is it a garage room, storage, shed, or something unimportant.

edit: Why do we never see Brian or Tim together in the same scene or on camera?!?!?

 		Re: the bullet casing and missing Brian...

Maybe Tim got a gun for protection from SM. Maybe Brian came into the house and Tim, panicking, shot him. Dunno Just a thought.

 		You know what sucks most about this?

We are all going to be buzzing around until week-two weeks when either Jay posts a new entry, or TTA responds.

Oh, and question. Do you think the actors OoG are on here, and are laughing their asses off at us?

 		Guys I'm worried about Brian... Crying or Very sad

At this point I really think TTA is Alex. Sarah is inconsequential, Brian is dead behind one of the locked doors in his weird, monk-like house, R.I.P. Tim is masky, controlling his condition by taking unknown pills, and messing up video/audio when he misses a dose. Also, he's crazy. Screwy

And J? Well, J is screwed. Flaming Nutter

 		Just to clarify, since I know this was being discussed heavily...

The jacket Tim has on in e20 does appear to be similar to Masky's jacket in e19, but it does not appear to be similar to Masky's jacket in e18.

Do we have any reason to believe that Masky in e18 and Masky in e19 are the same person?

That's a good question actually. I'm not sure we do, other than the idea of 2 masked people running around is a bit of a stretch.

Why is that a stretch? Why couldn't e18 Masky be Alex and e19 Masky be Tim?

 		I did some transcribing of the scenes in e20 because I think there's some misinterpretation of what's being said.

First, I'm not sure Brian is actually missing at this point. I was under the impression, based on the way Alex and J interact in the scene below, that Brian may be filming or behind the camera. The way in which they are playfully mocking his sense of decor and his whereabouts came across to me as though they are talking about Brian in the 3rd person as if he wasn't really in the room.

Quote:
[Alex places painting on back of couch]

Alex: Brian has excellent taste in art. [said with grin, looking down at script, camera zooms to tight on painting]

JUMP CUT - CONTINUATION SAME SCENE - PANNED OUT

Alex: So we're here on the set of Marble Hornets at Brian's house; Brian is somewhere, [slightly grins and shakes his head negatively, turns head towards J], I don't know where...
J: I wasn't... I wasn't paying attention, were you? [said in false matter-of-fact tone]
Alex: No. [said tersely]
J: No. [said tersely]
[They both fidget in their seats after they say this, J adjusts hat, Alex adjusts hair]


Second, I don't think the dialogue after the AV distortion is about the contents of the script. If you read what is said and assume the 3 secs of AV distortion and the 1 sec of blackout were just that long and don't represent a longer period of missing time, then the subject of the two ominous lines aren't so ominous.

Quote:
Alex: Uh, we've been doing some script revisions for, uh... coming up here...[interrupted by J]
J: I've been supervising that because I am the Script Supervisor... for now. [said in a mocking pride-slash-self deprecating manner]
Alex: Yes, yes J has been very helpful today. I'm very proud of him. [said in a sarcastic, dismissive manner, as if to quickly change the subject]
Alex: We are just waiting for Tim to get here. We're gonna give him the new script; maybe go over some new lines...
J: This new script. [holds up script to camera, opens to 2nd page]

AV DISTORTION FOR 3 SECS FOLLOWED BY 1 SEC OF NO AV - RETURN TO SCENE

J: Its a whole lot of power to give someone like him. [J points to Alex]
Alex: Yea, uh... you know, pretty much everyone's at risk. [nods his head affirmatively] Its a... terrifying place. [interrupted by knock at front door] And there's Tim, so...


It sounds like J is mocking Alex for changing the script, which was brought up previously in e9 at the gazebo. After the 4 secs of AV distortion, J clearly points at Alex during his next line, then Alex comments "everyone's at risk" and it's a "terrifying place". I think that is him being sarcastic back, commenting on the tension on the set.

Trout

I'm gonna trout you for asking about $20, not the trout question (that'd be a meta-trout!) Just search or read the trailer, it's all in there. It's basically in an in-game meme and time-waster between updates.

Trout can be read about here: http://www.unfiction.com/glossary/

 		It seems the main mystery (aside from the obvious) is what are those pills? Do they really have some effect against the curse? They are significant, otherwise the label would not have been removed.

The idea that SM if a ghost haunting/guarding the woods is a good one, though I'm still inclined to believe it/he's a "fourth dimension/Twilight Zone" entity.
