I think the take-away we need to get from this is:

1. Tim knew about the hospital in entry 51 beforehand
2. Alex, Tim, and Brian made plans to visit there "Saturday"
3. Brian did not remember Tim mentioning/discovering the hospital when the events of entry 51 occurred.
4. Alex lied about how they found the hospital in entry 51.


I've thought of these things, but I find it hard to believe Brian would forget in less than a week, and that Alex would get away with saying he and Seth found it. Also, there is no mention of Seth going along for this shot Tim, Alex, and Brian are talking about.

For me, this entry is just to remind us that Tim had problems around the same time as Alex and it is likely beforehand. I remember we had this discussion long ago during season 1. I am interested in seeing if their really is a connection between entry 51 and here. Maybe the shoot got pushed back until Alex goes crazy (he seems normal here whereas Tim is "filming behind the scenes") And that's how Alex is able to lie to Brian and have Seth be brought up.

Because there's no other illnesses that can cause headaches, paranoia, and sleeplessnes? There's still some ground in reality here, and it's quite possible that Tim could have had a condition, be it permanent and controlled or temporary and cured, that gave him some sort of knowledge or resistance to what was happening.


In other words, if slendersickness produces all the symptoms of this as yet unknown malady, but Tim's already on medication to treat that, the pills could render him less susceptible to the effects of slendersickness. It's not so crazy, guys--this theory's been around since the pills were first discovered.

Wonder if the truth would have sparked Brian's memory, and if that would have been a problem for Alex's plans.

Supposedly, Jay took the pills too while he was under a Slendyspell, or at least durring one of his mindswipes. In any event, while I can see where your speculation has germinated from logic-wise, I kind don't want to think that something as simple as perscribed pills can lessen the affects of an illness that are granted to a being courtesy of a mysterious, ominious being known as Slenderator. Not necessarily because it's unlogical, just because...it's not as fun. XD

This.

Tim mentions that the hospital is a good ways away and that they'd have to make a weekend of it. Due to this, I feel that it is alluding to the hospital being in the town where Rosswood park is and that Tim is from there originally.


Wow, perhaps this is the reason why Alex held on to the Entry #51 tape? Maybe there was something important there that Alex was trying to find, and he was using the tape as a reference.

When Entry #53 came out, someone suggested that the old lady in the antique store almost told Jay that Tim "was looking for his... (father)". If Tim has family in Rosswood's town, then it certainly backs up the theory that he's from there.

Maybe Tim force fed Jay the pills to keep him safe? Remember in "Return," Jay was looking dazed and confused, but Slendy just walked right past him. And this was (supposedly) right after Tim, as Masky, starting stalking Jay.

I don't remember anything about Jay taking the pills. Reference?

But look at the lovely side-effects of inappropriately combining medication and slendersickness: crazytime, stabbiness, dresserperching, glorious sideburns....

Got it! Something important is at the hospital. Maybe directions to the ark. Alex wants to find these directions, or perhaps he had already done so and never disposed of the tape.

(I say that "Alex already done so" because Season 2 placed emphasis on the tunnel. Maybe Alex went to the hospital, and found directions to the tunnel, which could be the next step in finding the ark. )

(Also... [OOG])
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you think about the way the story was constructed, there were originally gonna be only 2 seasons. We saw the tunnel early on, in Entry #29. There wasn't gonna be a hospital... just the tunnel, which would lead to the ark somehow. Season 3 was announced before Entry #51 came out, so they added the hospital as an extra step.


Anyway, Jay nabbed that tape from Alex. He probably thought that Alex kept the tape because it incriminated him, but he really kept it to find the hospital.

Jay will eventually find out that something is at the hospital, and that the hospital is actually in Rosswood's town. But how will he find it, you ask? Well, it's near a railroad. And there's railroad in the downtown area which looks kinda like it, in Entry #51. So he'll probably retrace Alex and Brian's steps by, first, finding the railroad.

The information at the hospital that Jay needs might be in file cabinets or something that survived the fire. In fact, the information could end up being Tim's old mental health records (because let's also assume that the hospital was Tim's old doctor's office.) So Jay will acquire documented accounts of Tim's "history", and that's how he'll find out. And of course Jay will probably have an epic encounter with the Maskies and/or Alex at the hospital. Maybe Jay and Tim will have teamed up at this point, and Tim helps him find the medical records, assuming he doesn't remember and can't tell Jay the info himself.

Dunno why Alex would've left the records there. Maybe he never actually found the hospital after all.

Maybe he took Tim to shoot there, back in 2006, but Tim forgot his medication and got all loopy and ended up bringing Alex to the tunnel in Rosswood park or something. Something. Something.

Okay, I'm brain dead now. Hopefully some of this stuff makes good theories though.

Hey guys, if you pause at 1:23, you can see Garlic Jr.'s head pop out of the bushes, confirming that this is filler. I spoke with Troy, and he said that because the web series has caught up with the Marble Hornets manga, he'll have to make the next few entries a filler saga where Tim, Alex, and Brian fight Garlic Jr. See you in a few months, when the real story continues.


I love you for that.

 		Apologies if this has been brought up/disproved/is totally wrong, but isn't there something involving a burned-out school in EveryManHYBRID? In that, as far as I can recall, it actually is a school and somehow, in the impossibly tangled mess that is the narrative of EMH, has something to do with Slenderman? I ask because the hospital is supposed take the place of a school in Alex's film. It's probably nothing, but it just occurred to me.

I just rewatched #51, and though it may be the power of suggestion, there's a real character shift that seems to have happened with Alex. In #55 he seems normal, but in #51 he's got the sarcastic, which would lead me to believe that something has happened between the two entries. And obviously to Tim as well.

I'm still kinda curious about the plot of Alex's movie. There might not be one, as it's not necessarily important to the story, but it would be interesting to see how it compares to the other videos.

Then they'll do what they did with Yu-gi-oh's virtual world--have someone say "Let's all act like none of this ever happened" at the end of the arc.

I think you got the second part right. With all the breaking and entering and murder that's happened so far, guaranteed at least one character is gonna suggest pretending it never happened.

 		I will also admit that I just stumbled across the reading of MH fanfics from this past fall (I know, I'm so out of touch), so there was residual comedy happening in my head while I watched this entry.
