Eldritch abominations are the current trend, zombies have been a little overused.

Well lets break this down. We got a dark picture of, presumably, Milo who looks like he recently committed suicide. This is no surprise here, we were told by the Observer that he helped Milo kill himself. While maybe this meant that he stalked Milo like he does Noah, It could have also meant that he forced him to commit suicide in some other sense. Slendy has been known to control(or mentally-suggest) people's actions.

"You only saw the shadow." I gather a few things from this;

Milo, at the time we saw him, could have been considered a shadow of his former self. Paranoid, obviously effected by his stalking.

The presence of The Observer, or an observer, depending on whether or not you believe in that they are a group or is a person, is something the Observer had bragged about. There were a few ideas that they meant electronically through devices similar to that found in Milo's home, but this picture seems too "intimate" to be a product of a hidden camera. Someone was physically there. This says to me that the Observer doesn't lie or bluff. He tells the truth because he feels he can, he feels protected enough to say anything he wants, exactly how he wants, which adds new subject to the "Singular/Group" discussions.

The way the body is placed doesn't look like he committed suicide though, as most of those who commit suicide prop themselves up, or lay down neatly. It looks like he was attacked from behind, without warning. The pills could have been planted. When you see a body with a empty bottle of pills, you tend to draw the conclusion of suicide by overdose.

Maybe he was apart of the observer collective, when he was alive. Being dead pretty much rules him out as being the observer or in the collective anymore.

Unless we are being shown videos that have been recorded before Milo died /crazyrant
I honestly don't think we can say that given all the clearly supernatural shit that's been going down. The Observer collective has shown both nigh-inhuman levels of stealth when it comes to their capability to consistently and repeatedly follow Noah and sneak things into his room. When they hacked his Formspring I seem to recall they went out of their way to suggest that Milo lives on somehow as part of the collective (zombie? mind/soul absorbed? hard to say). And the recording that gzot played on that device which responded to Noah's reactions to it despite being a prerecorded sound file suggests something close to precognition.

Bottom line: until the Observer collective is hurt, shows fear, or otherwise is inconvenienced by something, I'm not going to assume they have any limitations at all.


Exactly my point. What, eldrich abominations are fine and dandy but the undead break peoples suspension of disbelief?
When dealing with idea of a collective that has this shadowy being doing its bidding, or vice versa, you really get the picture of the word "cult" in your head. It isn't unusual for cults to have a pinch of "undead" within their plans. They might not be traditional, voodoo, or scientific zombies, but there are other ways about defining a zombie.

The sense I always got with the Observer was that a part of it was physically present in the room with Milo at the time (possibly mama Asher), gave him the pills, told him to OD, and afterwards Milo became a part of it.
Remember when the Observer gave Noah some pills in a baggy and told him to take them? Same thing.

I've never thought that the theory about Noah's mom being an Observer quite fit. I don't see the Observer as being capable of actually continuing to live a normal human existence, especially as a mother.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was still out there, somehow evading the Observer's perceptions. If so, no wonder Noah can't get a hold of her. He's a leper as far as she's concerned.

I always saw it reverse, she's nowhere to be found and the last time she was even seen in public was at Milo's funeral, where she could get away with acting strangely. I think that's why he can't get ahold of her, she's an Observer.

From the final frame of the interview, I think the "You only saw the shadow" was a response to Noah's claim of seeing the ashes and coffin. Despite Noah's claims, the Observer is saying that Milo is not completely gone, which lines lines up with the Observer saying that Milo is part of the collective.

The Observer, be it group or one-man unit, is very intelligent. Technologically, and with it's mind games. Their/his words seem just blunt enough to bring slivers of truth to the plate, while being mysterious enough to fuck with your head, making it almost a poisonous message that fucks with you more as it stick in you.

I didn't see anyone other than Noah or Milo. Have a screencap or time for that?

We're waiting tentatively for the man above to give us a time stamp or a picture of glasses man, or long enough to figure out he's a bullshitter.

Besides, nothing we can do right now.

I just watched Submission 4 again. I see Milo, Noah, and Mr. Tall, Dark, and Faceless. No one with glasses is visible.
Pics or it didn't happen.
