Seth was an extra we only saw on screen once and Alex was off somewhere living his life during the majority of totheark's season 1 activity.


Yes, but Seth was supposedly taken by the Operator. And he was behind the camera in 'Marble Hornets', which means he would have had the chance to get some extra footage off those tapes. In my opinion, he's a better candidate for TTA than Tim or Alex.


Seth, the guy who's actor we see once, and who hasn't appeared onscreen since, is a better candidate than Tim, the guy we know has been in the same places totheark has been in, knows what totheark knows, appears in mulitple totheark videos, and is referred to by totheark as "me"?

I mean sure it's possible, and Seth does have the whole camera thing going for him, but I still don't see that as very likely.


The reason you don't see Seth is because he got taken. And how do we know that Tim knows the same things as TTA? And when does TTA refer to Tim as 'me'?

Personally, I think it'd be too easy to cast Tim as both TTA and Masky. And unless I'm mistaken, TTA showed up long before Masky, who only showed up after Jay interviewed Tim, for obvious reasons.

I thought this seth business was fixed by the fact they stated seth was a tacked-on-extra that only even came into the series because shooting circumstances permitted it.

I personally think brian's a much more worthy candidate, though none of us can really be sure.

You know, you have a point. People have been completely ignoring Brian this whole time. Okay, I'm switching camps now XD

When has anybody ignored Brian being a candidate?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They have said that Brian and Seth are extras.


Plus, the series is (sadly) coming near it's ending. Complicating the series with these two characters would not only be more confusing but also it would not be as satisfying as it being someone like Alex or Tim being TTA.

And you have another point. I was just meaning that Brian hasn't really come up before (that I've noticed) as a candidate for being TTA. Given the fact that Jay was looking for him at one point, I guess I thought he was more than an extra. My bad.

From a dramatic perspective it will probably make more sense for one of the main characters to be TTA--even Jessica could work as she has been a fairly major character, but Brian/Seth being TTA would be somewhat out of the blue--neither of them have been mentioned in the series for ages.

That being said, there's that old rule about not introducing things that won't have a purpose later on--"Chekov's gun" or something. So, if the series goes on for long enough, Brian or Seth MIGHT be brought into the limelight in some sense, as I'm not sure why they were there to begin with otherwise--recall that the weird house in season 1 was Brian's house. Thus, don't count Brian out just yet.

However, I would expect that the series is at least nearing its conclusion, as much of the plot is beginning to resolve itself: Alex has been found, we know who the masked man is, there's been some vague hints at the history behind the Operator, etc., so for Brian to just become TTA in the ending sequence would seem like a bit of a cop-out. Actually, until 39 and TTA's response, I had toyed with the idea that JAY was TTA(a sort of Slendy-induced split personality), although this was mostly based on the fact that it would make for a great twist, not so much on the evidence.

To the first part, totheark posts a video stating that he knows J has been secretly filming himself right after J's security tapes catch Tim peeking in his window and entering his room. I don't believe they both just happened to learn the same secret at the same time, especially since J's security cameras didn't catch anyone else spying on him (he mentioned Tim's appearance being the only thing out of the ordinary).

To the second part, watch the end of the Signal video. At the end it says "Come back. Find me." followed immediately by J going back to the house and finding Tim.

EDIT: As for Brian, his house definetely has some significance to the Operator, seeing as how it induces that weird coughing effect and has secret warp-doors in it. I always saw the bullet casing and the bloody sink as an implication that Tim murdered Brian so that he could camp out there and do whatever he's been doing. He's able to manipulate J through the right doors to lead him into that boiler room, so he obviously at least has a basic understanding of its super-natural properties.

For the last time, Seth was an extra at first but he was still the cameraman for all of Entry 22 regardless of whether or not he appeared in person; as for Alex no one knows what he was doing during season 1 because we werent there.

Read what these other people have said. He was confirmed to be a tacked on character, basically little more than a plot device. And sure, we don't know for sure what Alex was doing during season 1, but the tape he sent J strongly implies that he was just living a normal life.

You do realize any of the characters could know about Jay recording himself by just going to jay's youtube, right? As for assuming the house is brian's: fuck it, i give up.

Not before the entry where he admitted he was recording himself constantly they couldn't. Before that it was just Alex's footage, J visiting the house, and J's interview with Tim. The only way someone could actually know J was filming himself constantly was if they went to his house and saw him doing it, and the only person who was there was Tim. As for assuming the house is Brian's, we've seen some of Alex's is footage in which they're in the house saying it's Brian's. So, not really an assumption.

He came back as slender-fodder. We didn't even actually see him on screen.

That doesnt change the fact that he was there, now stop trying to bring me over to Tim's camp. I lack any sort of jones for Tim being tta. Frankly, after entry 39 i shouldnt have to keep arguing why tta isnt tim considering tims a frakking cripple.

Behind the camera while portraying Seth.
