 		These guys are very very clearly not trained actors but a lot of speculation surrounds the ways that they play things haha. I just don't understand it.

I do not buy into the theory of Alex being the guy standing in the tunnel - that seems to just be the Operator to me. It seems very likely to me that Alex is the one dead in the tunnel, again something that we are probably going to find out in coming entries.

There is no camera disruption on Tim in any other entries with him, but Masky tends to disrupt the camera. I feel like if Tim is under the Operator's control then the Operator might just be very very nearby(explaining the quick cut very similar to entry 23 I think where he is in the house).

Another thing that might be an issue is the reliability of the narrator. We're trusting J's editing skills here and he was not even sure if he wanted to upload this. While we are used to the camera being disrupted, is it possible that J edited some important bits out? The only problem with this idea is I don't know how we would ever find that out so I'm not sure it would work for the story(TTA?).

Sure, it doesn't do much damage either way, but if I was going to stab someone to death I wouldn't use the tiny one. It's next to my iPod for size reference.

Well if 1:22 was anything, you can see a decent size mark on the back of Alex's arm.


Huh, I didn't notice that. But I still think it was a warning more than anything else.

 		Okay, upon rewatching, the way Alex addresses J is not questioning. It's a statement, he's trying to get his attention so he can tell him to look out. They are familiar with each other, and definitely came there together.

WOW. Just viewed that in HD because I couldn't see it at 320p and WOW. That is bad. Good find.

My interpretation of the ending:

Alex broke Tim's leg with that huge-ass rock, and 7 months later, it's had time to heal (albeit badly, because I can't see Tim going to a doctor in his...condition). This is why he's limping in Entry 33.


This is an interesting theory, and it certainly explains how masky was still around for entry #33, but it doesn't really mesh with the fact that Alex yelled for the knife before grabbing the rock. If Alex wanted to break Tim's leg, he wouldn't have wanted the knife.
I think that Tim somehow managed to escape, and that the scream was a scream of fear, not pain. After all, Once Alex gets off of Tim's back to grab the rock, the only thing holding Tim was the rope around his upper body, he could've rolled out of the way of the blow and run, aided by the fact that Jay probably would've tried to stop Alex from chasing him.


You know you can stab people. With knives. In the legs. Without killing them so that they can't. You know, follow you?


If Alex's true intention was to keep Tim from following them and nothing else, why couldn't they have just tied him up more thoroughly and left him there? They could've even hauled him off to a building somewhere and locked him in a closet, or knocked him out and ran. There are plenty of ways to keep someone from following you other than stabbing them in the legs. Alex must have been trying to really hurt, and I believe kill, Tim.

He was already tied up with cord and there were two people in the room. He wasn't going anywhere. Alex was acting in malice, I think that was meant to be made clear. And I respectfully disagree with you and everyone who think that sounds like a person screaming in pain. For one, it doesn't have a start. Secondly, they are screaming the whole entry, but that noise fucks with the cameras mic. Just listen to it a few times thinking about it not being Tim screaming.


There's tons of audio distortion, which can skip small bits of audio every so often and obviously change the way something normally sounds, so it's perfectly plausible for it to be Tim screaming.

 		Okay... Maybe this mask was just an attempt for Alex not to know where Tim was? Maybe this was Tim's fault?

After J's upload, Tim may have tried to contact J while giving close to zero info that he was Tim?

 		While I don't think it makes sense for this to show us Alex and Jay's first meeting after the events of the first season, I can see where people are getting the idea. There's something very off about the dialogue here--Jay seems to be talking to himself even though Alex is there, and Alex's speech and gestures seems sort of robotic or disconnected or something.

I'm not really describing it well, but the overall sense of something-here-is-missing is really smacking me over the head D:

 		Okay, I jumped when Masky came out. And I'm honestly gonna say my mouth DROPPED when the rock came down.

That's more than can be said for more Movies these days.

The two ways people are talking about this are a) this was a chance meeting, hence Alex saying Jay with "a questioning tone" or b) Alex and Jay came here together.

I personally think that Alex knew Masky and Jay would be there but Jay didn't know Alex would be there, so Alex said Jay to get his attention and shush him, because Jay didn't know what would be there, but Alex would.

>robotic or disconnected
Exactly. Alex went there knowing full well what he wanted to do and what was going to happen.

It's just narrative convenience: showing Jay and Alex in the car on the way there having a "but there's nothing there!" - "Bullshit. Tim will be there wearing a mask." conversation wouldn't have made for much excitement.


I mean if you want to talk about this narratively most of the narrative up until J started worrying mostly about escaping the Operator was about finding Alex. It's pretty silly that we would not see the MOMENT he first encounters Alex. Possible, but strange storytelling.

If J went there with Alex or found him before this then I don't think it's narrative convenience, there's a reason we don't know. Someone or some-slendy-thing may have tampered with the tapes.
