You know what I always find really weird about Jay's commentary of these videos is, unless i've forgotten, he rarely if ever mentions the Operator. It's always "Alex is evil!" but rarely " OMG THAT THING AGAIN WHAT THE F IS THAT".

[Geneaux486]

He's mentioned it a few times. He refers to him as "a guy in a business suit" during the interview with Tim, he refers to it as "The figure from entry #1" and "someone" back before it becomes abundantly clear that it isn't human, and he refers to it as "that thing" when he meets it in the forest. I think the reason J acknowleges its existence so rarely is because he just doesn't want to think about it. Investigating Alex, dealing with Tim, finding Amy, these are things J can at least partially understand and deal with because they're human, but with the Operator all J can really do is hope that he doesn't do something to make it appear on his porch in the dead of night or creep into his room while he lies in bed unable to sleep.

EDIT:

My guess as to why he mentions the Operator so rarely is because of the fear instilled. He doesn't want to talk about him as the Operator is just that horrifying to him. Can you really blame him, though?

[Ceejie]

I *guess* that makes sense. I just figured there might be some reason I didn't catch onto that he was avoiding talking about it as much as possible. I mean I do realize that whole 'Bloody Mary' aspect of Slenderman to where if you don't talk about it you get to be blissfully unaware, but I wasn't sure if that is what was going on here and Jay was doing it intentionally or what..

For those of you wondering about the whole "Tim's not limping" thing...

You do know this season started in November of 2010 right? So Tim's leg has had an entire YEAR to heal, in-game.

Also, this whole time, other than the incident where Jay woke up to find his hotel door WIDE open, he's stayed out of trouble.

And one more thing, WHY DID IT TAKE ALMOST A YEAR TO CATCH UP ON 7 MONTHS!!! RAGE!!!

about the tree

we all know that the kids are kind of knowledgeable about different evil spirit warding apparatus' like Alex's Prayer Sheets he had on the walls in the entry where Slendy walks in and then Alex wakes up a half hour later with period drama blood on his head. So I guess it makes sense, that a kid in the know like Tim would have a evil spirit warding off alcoholic tree in his front yard too.

[Geneaux486]

The tree may have just already been like that, outside of the show. Abstract art, maybe?

EDIT: It'd be awesome if season 3 starts the exact same way season 2 did, J waking up in a strange room with no memory of the previous however many months, only instead of a long textual explanation we just get "Son of a bitch, it happened again."

[Ceejie]

I think the bottle tree is meant to be focused on, just because he looks at it for so long, and Tim is in the yard of the house with the bottle tree. Maybe Jay himself wasn't focusing on it, maybe he was just turning on his camera quickly and had it turned away from Tim so Tim wouldn't notice he was being recorded, but it seems to me that an object that captures evil spirits on the front lawn getting eight seconds of shot time is a bit too coincidental for Marble Hornets. Being from the south, they gotta know what that thing is, so it being in the shot accidentally for so long and them cutting to Tim standing in the yard of that specific house seems waaaaaaay too orchestrated to be on accident.

Alright, first-time poster, here. My little idea as to what is going on:

Alex is bringing people to The Operator in order to get rid of them for a certain purpose. The last person he gets rid of is Brian. Tim becomes aware of what Alex is doing after Seth has disappeared, and when Brian is brought to the demolished school, he follows the two. However, he was not preparing to witness TO, and is taken off-guard; he collapses and goes into Slendy-sickness, and Brian finds him. Brian is then taken by Slendy. Alex believes that Slendy has taken both, but somehow Tim escapes.

Tim becomes Masky in order to hide his identity and combat Alex secretely. If he is TTA, he is probably giving Jay information in order for Jay to find out about how unstable Alex truly is. Obviously, Tim cannot just go up to Jay and tell him that his friend is a psychopath, so he is trying to nudge Jay in the right direction in order to try to eventually help each other against Alex.

Alex tells Jay to meet him at the school, where Brian was taken. Tim is lying in wait to save Jay, his future partner, but Alex tries to officially take him out of the picture by breaking his leg. Due to all the action, Alex decided to not kill Jay at that time. In between then and Entry #52, Alex is just humoring Jay and trying to see if he can spare him by avoiding him. However, Jay persists and digs deeper into the mystery, showing Alex kill Bruce and lead Brian to his memory-wipe (as the main idea here is that Hoody is Brian; perhaps he was told what happened to him by Tim?). Now that Jay had persisted, Alex was convinced he had another job to do and clean up any witnesses. Tim found out about it and, alarmed, went to save Jay and Jess. He succeeded: I believe the gunshot was Tim shooting Alex. In an outrage, Slender Man attacked Tim, but was unable to do so; I believe it may have something to do with Tim's mask, but I can definitely be wrong.

So, TO went to Jay and Jessica to memory wipe them out of vengeance. It worked. However, TO (the REAL main antagonist, not Alex) is now back at large along with Alex, and Tim came back to the hotel to get Jessica out of harm's way. Deciding that Jay must be his ally, he gives the combination of the safe to Jay as a sort of "see for yourself"-kind of deal. The reason why Tim is acting normal isn't significant; he's not always acting peculiar, I reckon.

That's my idea.

Entry 29 was Alex revisiting his newest kill. Possibly to finish cleaning up. TO shows up to help.
