Honestly, I don't understand why it's a big deal anyways. It's not like it affected our understanding of what was happening.

So the operator symbol was on the 1102 combination. Since it was in Jessica's room, it's possible she wrote it down during her weird nighttime trances, also during which she banged the code on the wall in Morse code. Morse code and operator symbols interfering with communication might be a common symptom of a slendy-trance. This would mean that Alex's drawings and ToTheArk's videos were also made in these trances.

The one loose thread that's bothering me are the three twitpics on Jay's Twitter account. "Smile for the camera" (http://twitpic.com/31g2ab), "23" (http://twitpic.com/32u8yg), and "wake up" (http://twitpic.com/37i5t2). If Jay and Jessica were only out for one day, who posted those pictures? I assumed it was Jay at the end of being some sort of masky before Entry 27. But the hotel was only booked for the night, and they only booked it for the night in this entry.

Whoever posted "23" and "wake up" knew weeks in advance that Jay would be waking up on November 23rd. There are a few possible explanations:
- Jay and/or Jessica travelled back in time one month under control of the Operator. Entry 29 was Jay's discovery of Alex's fresh crime scene, meeting up with the Operator, then creating "noentry" on his laptop. Essentially, Jay would be living his life as normal, except while under control of the Operator.
- Someone with access to Jay's Twitter had a psychic vision or something that led them to believe Jay would be memory wiped on the 23rd.
- Jay and Jessica both checked out and came back to the hotel in a month, while also taking the tapes in the safe with them, putting them back later with the same combination.

The first explanation makes the most sense (compared to the other ones), especially with the on-camera teleportation in this Entry. Maybe it works in the same way that ToTheArk sketched in Intermission.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Well, it really isn't, you're right. Nothing within the entry that's important changes or anything. I'm not really bothered, but there are definitely people that were displeased with it.

Doesn't matter, but they're fixing it so no big deal.

Some thing:

- count me in with the 50/50-side. I love some of the entry, but it feels a bit anti-climatic. Jay tackling The Operator and Masky sneaking up behind Alex are the two epic things here, the rest was more or less answering questions the S2 pilot spawned itself rather than twists or truly mindblowing revelations. It's not that this is a bad entry, but it pales in comparison to the ending of S1, for example.

- if it is not officially confirmed, I doubt this will be the S2 finale. All this EP did was give us two "FUCK YEAH" moments and a tie-up with EP1 of S2. We knew Masky was working against Alex, we knew Alex was a fuck-up. I don't buy Alex being dead. Something is still to come.

- the typos do indicate that something is in the works, at least to me.

So yeah, good entry, but not a great season finale in comparison to S1. Confused

This. It pretty much seems up my feelings about this entry. That being said here are a few more things I would like to add.
1.I don't think the re uploaded entry will have any differences (other than the typos being fixed). However I don't think this is the last entry either. Troy said himself "We will know when the season ends". This entry ties up loose ends but doesnt "end" the season, at least not for me. Mark my words the season finale will be a TTA entry.
2.Someone brougt up the whole "twins" topic earlier and I think they are on to something. I don't think Tim is a twin in the literal sense but that he has multiple personalities. (Whether or not he is aware of these personalities is another topic all together.)
3. Something seems "off" about this entry. There are numerous ploy holes, that have all been brought up here. I dont think this is an oversight on Troy's part though. While Jay is pretty derpy, Troy is not. I dont think those plot holes are there on purpose.
tl;dr Anonymousity can read my mind, TTA entry will be the real season finale, Tim has multiple personalities, something is amiss.

I'm uploading the version of Entry #52 with the typo in it to mediafire right now, for anyone who didn't get to watch it yet. As soon as Entry #52 is re-uploaded to MarbleHornets, I'll cancel the mediafire upload.

Canceled.

Just saw it (late, I know, but after losing a lot of sleep the previous two nights waiting for this, I had to get some last night). Only have one thing to say about Entry 52:

Lock eyes from across the room
Down my drink, while the rhythms boom
Take your hand and skip the names
No need here for the silly games
Make our way through the smoke and crowd
The club is the sky and I'm on your cloud
Move in close as the lasers fly
Our bodies touch and the angels cry
Leave this place go back to yours
Our lips first touch outside your doors
A whole night what we've got in store
Whisper in my ear that you want some more
And I....

When I first saw Jay "disappearing", it really seemed like he was just pulled away impossibly fast. After re-watching that part in slow motion and then frame-by-frame, I'm absolutely sure that he was pulled away, not teleported. Look carefully here - you can still see his eye and ear in the 2nd frame, much lower than in the 1st:



Right before he's pulled away, his head jiggles around unnaturally fast. I believe this part of the video was sped up by the operator's electronic interference.


This.

Jay was being pulled away by something, but i'm not quite sure where he was during that section. It doesn't look like the hotel, and everything got pretty blurry pretty fast so we don't actually know if he landed in the hotel room. What if he was teleported here for a moment, and the pulling away is him being teleported again?

Hi, long time lurker,
OOG(?):
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I looked at my youtube history (after trying to review Entry 52 after seeing some spec here) and the video has gone to private with the name "Entry #52 [first upload]"

It probably means nothing, but I hadn't seen it mentioned yet.

It would be absolutely astonishing if TTA didn't have anything to say about this.

Either way, interesting that this entry seems to clearly portray Tim as more benign than we've taken him as being so far. Although who knows? He's still got slendyportation powers and he's never sat down and just levelled with Jay about what's going on, so he's got some kind of agenda of his own.

I wonder if he's keeping Jessica somewhere to make sure she doesn't come across any nasty reminders.

found a copy of the original here:

Not sure if this means the end of season 2 or not. Though Jay must've grown balls of steel to just charge the operator headon and effectively try to brawl with him/it.

Am I the only one who thinks that Jay didn't ATTACK the operator?? (Pardon me, if someone else mentioned it, i haven't read through all the posts (yet)..

But Jay "attacking" The Operator hadn't crossed my mind when I first watched this entry..HOWEVER, I got the impression that The Operator LURED him in. almost PULLED him in. But since we're dealing with low-budget film making, the only way to create that effect is to have Troy run at TO prop. While it wasn't their intention to make it look like him running.
