Moreover, if I were in this kind of a situation (disregarding the fact that I would've burned the tapes and run the hell away long ago), and I had a friend, or anyone, looking out for me, when I was being *stalked*, the *last* thing I would do is mention who they were on the internet. That doesn't just include their name, but anything about them that could give it away. I'm not sold that it's necessarily a friend, but there you go. And it's pretty certain Jay knows more than he's letting on, because, again, if you were being stalked, would you post all the information on the internet, when it was clearly being followed? Suspension of disbelief only goes so far.

And I'm just gonna say it, I think the "Jay can't be trusted because he's human" thing is a red herring. There's a note of truth in it, because humanity itself isn't fully trustworthy, but that's as far as I think it goes. It's like the kind of faux-sly answer someone gives so that they don't have to give anything away, while attempting to make people second-guess everything. (They win.)

Also I don't think there's any evidence that in game time progresses differently than normal time. Not including blackouts, obviously.

I've been coming back to the video a few times now...

So the "thing" that knocks the door over "seems" to be Slenderman. He's tall, the movement, it would fit very well. But I wonder how they actually did this. Post on this kind of stuff is difficult and usually looks bad, yet the entire sequence is filmed off of a TV screen - which means post doesn't look quite as ugly.

This and entry 24 really are weird. In both cases, taped footage seemed to have been altered, but we never got a truly clear look at what was going on. We can assume that is SM, just as other assumptions have been made over the taped footage next to Jay.

So either the show is now heading into a direction where we get all the information third hand (= Jay taping a taped tape... eh, I mean Jay taping footage that is being shown on another medium) or we are going to witness those things second hand, through Jay's videos, just like Jay witnessed them through Alex videos.

In either case, what bothers me is that Jay is MIA, sort of. Nobody knows where exactly he is and what his status is.
Thus, the series itself is a bit MIA - this could head anywhere, from another person taking over up to Jay becoming another Masky up to Jay being teleported onto the set of THE PHANTOM MENACE into the body of Jar Jar Bings, with Masky turning out to be C3PO and Slenderman George Lukas.

So what I wanted to say: the next video has to further move the plot forward. #24 didn't, just as an example. This last video did. Point of no return now.

Getting the information third hand is a pretty neat way of doing things. There's some weird recursion going on where we're getting more layers than there really are. Next thing you know it's going to be Jay taping his computer screen, which is displaying a youtube video of someone recording what they see on their TV. XD Seriously, though, it's neat -- I do like that they included some ambiguity with the TV's in #24 and #25. It's clever, and gives you something to watch for a second time (or more, for some of us ) through.

I don't like where they've left Jay, either. JKatkina and I were talking about that; she thinks that it's a setup to have Jay wander off the same way that Alex did, so that we're left without any answers. It seems to be the most likely ending, the way that he's being pushed beyond a normal person's level of tolerance.

He's at his lowest-low right now. He needs a moment of highest hope before he gets crushed like a buuuuug. XD

Yeah, I have to say, that Jay disappearing, and then TTA posting some video to that effect seems like the obvious way to end the show. But while we're headed in that direction, I don't think we're quite there yet. I think they're going to go further with the Jay on the run thing, as a way of giving more explanation for what happened to Alex, and what happens to any Slendyvictim, as they start to go crazy. Or what have you.

[Dray]

Poor Jay. :c I think you're right.

I personally would be happy to to learn what happened to alex and see Jay confont or even ambush TTA/Masky/Tim. I wouldnt mind if they never explained slendy cos that can sometimes ruin it (like paranormal activities)
