Also, please keep in mind that Enttry 37 probably was posted by TTA so we can't take it for a fact that Alex was stalked by the Operator when he was a kid. It could all just misleading us.


Thank you for proving to me that somebody on this forum agrees with what I've been thinking. Every other time the Operator has shown up in an entry, he's been a physical entity - something that could, if you were so inclined - be reached out and touched. In 37, he's clearly made of distortion/visual effects, as though the image has been edited in for emphasis. I do not believe that enttry 37 "proves" that Alex has been stalked ever since he was a kid. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

As for this entry, I think it provided a lot of really useful information - namely, that Tim was exhibiting symptoms before Alex seemed to be. This may not be the kind of "all the pieces are falling into place" revelation that people apparently hope for, but as someone else pointed out, we're not going to get game-changers in every entry. It's a slow burn, and I think it's going really well.

 		there was always 1 reason i believed the operator to actually be in the video of enttry 37: the dates on the camera go haywire when he appears. sure totheark could have manually did that but why go through all that trouble

 		Tim seemed really nervous for some reason. Like he didn't want to tell Alex about the burned out hospital...but he was afraid of what would happen to him if he didn't. Seems like Tim is being used by Slendy here to lure in the unsuspecting cast members to their dooms. My thought is that after this Alex became TO's tool of choice.

 		I was a little dissapointed by this entry. It was kinda cool how they casually dropped the info about Tim, but my gut reaction to this entry is 'filler'. (although I have to say the nod to 'program' was good)

The same reason he'd go to the effort of making any of his videos I guess?
I'm kind of on the fence about the theory that 37 was a trick, it never even really occurred to me before reading it just now, but it wouldn't be past TTA to add that stuff into a video.
Although, that being said, it doesn't really seem his style to throw Jay off the scent. He usually has a point to make with his videos, have we ever really known him to lie?
... Is TTA even a he?! :O

 		the real question is was it even totheark that posted that

like, why bother to hack the MH channel rather than just post it on his own channel

Oops. Did we all miss a code? One of those dates is definitely suspicious (1891) and shouldn't be on a video camera.

 		Things are more confusing now. This entry implies that Tim may have been the start of it all. enttry 37 suggests that Alex had Slendy-problems since he was a kid.

But in Entry #15, Tim says that he only met Alex when they started making the movie, with Brian being their mutual friend.

So, did Tim and Alex both have problems? Did their "coming together" for making the movie cause all of this?

 		My theory is that the Doctor that was speaking with Tim is the one who gave him those pills.

 		Tim's Voice
Okay guys, I apologize if this has been brought up before, but I've been noticing this ever since Tim took the reigns of the camera. Is it just me, or does he sound A LOT like Jay? Like, to the point that its hard to tell who is manning the camera at any given time? Yes, these are Tim's tapes, but until they make reference to him I often forget that and simply think this is our good 'ol Derpy buddy being derpy again. I dunno, maybe I'm alone in this...

 		Wow, this entry came out of the blue. I've been going to bed earlier, so it was a good morning when I saw that a new entry had been posted.

What a fucking joke this entry was. Undeniably the worst entry in the series.


Nothing is as bad as the Tothepark entry.

I had the exact same problem! I wasn't sure it was Tim until near the end.

 		I'm also concerned about the fact that Tim suggested the abandoned hospital/doctor's office, while in Entry #51, Alex said that he and Seth found it. Also, there's no hints in Entry #51 that the place was a long drive from their town.

PLEASE don't be a plothole. It was only four entries ago!

 		After requisite spazzing over seeing "Marble Hornets has uploaded a video" in my inbox, I'm ready to theorize and nitpick.

I do find it quite interesting that they reference the abandoned hospital (and let's face it-it's got to be the same one. There can't be two burned down abandoned hospitals around there. Okay, maybe, but it would be silly.), yet Alex seems perfectly normal. And if, as others have pointed out, Brian doesn't remember this conversation, perhaps Entry 51 was only the beginning of Alex's Slenderization (hee hee)? As in, feeding Brian to the Operator was his start of darkness, rather than the culmination?

Hmmm...perhaps Tim had gotten rid of his Slendysickness for a while, but then Alex started doing some investigation into Tall Pale and Faceless (who seemed to show up early in the Marble Hornets shoot as well) and it brought back Tim's symptoms? That would explain why TTA would blame Alex for this mess yet also explain why Tim seems to be having those symptoms before anyone else.

Gaa. I need more caffeine. Maybe if I imbibe enough I will suddenly understand everything.
