 		You guys do realize that this means Alex is innocent in killing everyone, right?

And it's possible that Tim is manipulating everyone to believe otherwise?

I think you're taking the implications of this video a bit too far. Alex clearly isn't innocent. He killed Bruce in the tunnel without provocation and tried to kill Jay and Jessica. He's seemingly in leagues with or under the control of The Slender Man. All this video tells us is that Tim potentially has a significant history with The Slender Man, as well.

It doesn't mean that Alex is innocent at all. We have seen evidence of Alex holding a gun at Jay with the intent to kill. We have seen strong suggestions that Alex led Brian into a trap with the Operator waiting. We have seen Tim apparently sickened and weakened by the Operator in that very same trap.

Alex is not exonerated by this entry at all. It simply suggests that he is not as central as we have been led to believe.

But, he was under the control of the Operator, was he not? Isn't that why he walks like a robot and gives short-handed replies on the walk in the woods?

I'm just theorizing that Tim might be trying to forget the whole thing or get rid of the Operator by spreading it. I really don't know, it's too soon to tell.

 		Alex is still evil, but at least this whole thing isn't his fault.

 		I'm starting to feel as though Tim has had some prior knowledge--be it actually watching or just knowing what's on the tapes--and thus the whole giving-to-Jay situations was entirely deliberate. For being such few tapes, they have certainly been really revealing, and for all of it to just be coincidental would be rather astonishing in a world where coincidences are few and far between.

 		What if it was a deal with Slendy? Look at it this way: If enttry #37 is to be believed, Alex has known TO since he was a kid, and at some point he made a deal with him: Tim in exchange of Alex's sanity and chance at a "normal" life. So Alex was free to live whereas Tim began to develop a history of paranoia and headaches and other stuff (perhaps he knew Tim since several years ago?) for a few years(?), which leads us to the time when the Marble Hornets movie began. But suddenly, TO says Tim is not enough, so Alex decides to trade Brian as well. And perhaps he did the same with Sarah and Seth (and Jay too? though how he managed to get away if this really did happen is beyond me), and a few years later, maybe even Amy. And then he went after Jay again.

Jessica has said, and I incorrectly quote, "I keep having these dreams where I'm a little kid and... I don't know what's going on." Which leads us to believe that TO has been following at least 3 of them since they were children. Alex, Tim, and Jessica. Could Brian and Seth etc... also have memories like this? Who knows, Season 3 will be intrigue.

Damn, I had forgotten about Jessica. Found the actual quote btw:

"And I keep having these dreams where I'm a little kid… and someone is watching me"

Okay, here's another shot, because I've always thought that Jessica only got involved after Jay talked to her (only because several kids having a shared history with TO and who coincidentally happen to meet later in life seems a little far-fetched to me, but then again, maybe TO makes it that way), but maybe the dreams are just a representation of how TO is watching her, and Jessica feels vulnerable and confused, like a little kid would, because she feels unsafe and doesn't know what to do and what is happening to her? And it could also be a nod to Slender Man's original mythos, him having an affinity for children.

 		The way I see it; is that 55 is prior to 51 which may or may not be related to 22.

Not so much a game of circle the shrub this time, more of a game of circle the fence post.

A very interesting entry indeed. Lots of possibilities.

Edit: I'd love to do a spot of theorizing about those possibilities but I have to go to work. Boo.

 		I'm was kinda expecting that more Tim exposure would mean the pendulum of guilt would come back at him. Whether this is a Good/Bad/Ugly or a rock/paper/sissors situation remains to be seen. After all Alex has gone from nice guy stressed over being stalked to seeker of his lost love to crazed murderer and back stabber. So Tim going from snark knight, to tackle craized Masky to near killer to possible Oppy snack to saivor seems only fair. Too bad Jay's role seems to change so little but maybe when the Ark starts to come into play we'll se what he realy is.

I wonder if those houses in Program are going to mean something more, or if they're just an interesting foreshadowing.

Maybe another Totheark will explain?


It doesn't look like anyone has pointed this out, but I'm pretty sure these are the same apartments as in Entry #54, Tim's apartment. So it looks like the pillar building shown in the TTA video (Program I believe) was probably shot from Tim's window. I'm guessing that this was just some sort of clue for Jay about Tim's association with totheark.

Edit: Just re-watched #54, I don't know why I was thinking the apartments looked the same, they don't really.

 		I tweeted Troy OOG asking

If we should expect the normal 26 episodes, or if we are gonna get something crazy. No response as of yet.
