Something else I forgot to add earlier: Joseph/Alex was absolutely terrifying in this entry. Good work, Joseph Smile

I'm so sick of seeing pravado's negative comments on every page. Seriously, why don't you try to make a series like this and keep up with it like the creators have? They put their best effort in these entries for the community and they are ALWAYS well executed. Stop acting like you think you could do any better, because you most likely fucking couldn't. I think it's great that they're filming a 3rd season for us and I'm happy with any entry that is uploaded.

Eh, the thing about Alex in this entry is that he didn't even really do anything. He was just sort of there.

...Being absofuckinglutely terrifying, of course, but that's more due to the threat of violence and us being conditioned to do a pirouette right off the handle whenever Alex shows up.

Which is still pretty goshdarn impressive, all things considered.

This. So much agreement. It's getting incredibly old.

But still where did Tim get that blanket? Perhaps he traded his soul to the Opertator for it. Or Alex was keeping Tim fresh for the Operator to eat later.

We have all definitely become acustomed to Alex's psychopathic nature, which makes it especailly scary when you're wandering around at night with him just, like...right there. With an allegedly heavier pipe. Probably somewhat less threatning than a rock or a gun or whatever, but it's dark out, which sets the spooky factor. Makes it understandable why Tim was so freaking terrified.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Tim, I love you. I wanna give you a hug.


He might have seen the Operator too, but if that were the case, he might have tried to book it, if he could. Kind of hard to make the decison, though. Do you run and risk running into a homicidal maniac, or do you wait to see what happens to you in the presence of an ominious entity?

Don't know about the blanket, though. I have an eerie feeling he didn't put it there himself, though. On that note, however, I have this theory that, whenever you're about to get slender'd or is presently getting slender'd, you get cold. Examples: Entry 20, Tim says, "Why is it so cold in June?" Entry 17, Tim complains about being cold. And Masky is always wearing "the" jacket. The coldness might also come from just being around Slenderman, like Slendy himself is cold or something.

Ghostly entities are very commonly described as making the area colder around them. Oppy probably does send chills down people.

Hospitals tend to have a lot of blankets, so it was probably just lying around.

The Operator, seeing poor Timmy lost and sick in a dark building, ran upstairs to the burnt ward rooms and grabbed the biggest and warmest blanket he could find.
Oppy: "Nighty-night, Timmy. I'll have Alex keep his nightlight on for you."

Viola, we now know what the mysterious lights were; a symbol of Ale(x)'s compassion for sick little Timmies far from home.

For what it's worth, here's my take on things/timeline:

Alex brings Seth to the building (possibly under the pretext of finding Tim) but doesn't go upstairs (because he doesn't want Seth to actually find Tim) and instead he leads him to the basement. The first part of Entry 22 occurs. Alex abandons Seth and TO and goes looking for Tim and his camera. He needs to make sure he's disposed of and that he has the footage from Tim's camera so he can edit it to make himself look like he wasn't sketchy or destroy it if that's not possible.

Unfortunately (for Alex) Tim has come to, reloaded the camera, and slowly worked his way out of the building. Once he got outside and had fresh air he parked himself to try and get his bearings a bit more. He sees someone moving around with a flashlight. He's torn between approaching the person and keeping his distance. He isn't sure what happened to him and isn't sure who it is, so he tries to follow and keep a safe distance. He realizes it's Alex and that he's holding a pipe. He still doesn't know if Alex is friendly or not so he decides to play it safe and get some distance and shelter until daylight. At some point Tim realizes (or at least believes) that Alex has left. He searches around some and finds himself a blanket and settles in for the night.

The next day Entry 51 occurs when Alex comes back with Brian. By now he knows that Tim isn't where he's supposed to be and that the camera is missing. TO shows up wearing those horrible ass pants that Gretchen Jones somehow beat Mondo with on Project Runway. (Sidenote: Mondo was robbed) Brian is knocked out by TO. He comes too but, similar to Tim, he's not sure what happened so he doesn't know that his friend wasn't actually his friend. He starts to stumble around to figure out where Alex is and is more than likely concerned that something has happened to Alex.

While this is going on Alex is actually back at the hospital building trying to retrieve Seth and Tim's cameras. He knows that people are still able to try and run and get away when TO shows up so he possibly searches the whole building now that it's daylight. He's found Seth and his camera, but not Tim's.

Brian finds Tim (who's still a bit out of it from the concussion, Slendersickness, and just being semi-outdoors all night) without realizing that TO was still around. Somehow Tim gets away in the chaos and confusion of another TO assault on Brian. Alex comes back to the Annex and finds Brian pretty much how he expected him to be. Post-Slender-assaulted and not exactly where he was left. He still hasn't found Tim (and more importantly his camera) though.

Entry 22 was from the tapes that Alex gave Jay. In my opinion he edited the footage from Seth's camera so it looks like they were hunting TO rather than him leading Seth into an ambush. He also put the bit at the end where he's saying he's going to burn the tapes (as someone else pointed out why tape that and then burn it instead of just burning them?) because the other footage couldn't be made to put himself in a good light and he needed to do that to keep up appearances. Entry 51 is from the "56-42" tape that Alex kept because he couldn't find a way to make it useful (yet?).

I'm sure there are some holes in this and I'd love to hear them. It's been a while since I've watched some of these, but this is what's making sense to me at this point. To be honest the only part of this whole post I'm 100% positive on was Mondo getting shafted.

I was leaning towards it being a taunt-type thing, but okay. I changed my mind since I made that comment anyway, so. Yeah.

Tim had put the camera on the oppisite side of the view we had from the footage in 51. We probably just didn't see it because he was blocking it.

The fact that now we're pretty much used to seeing Alex in Psycho-mode made entry #54's normal moments - sitting around talking, jamming on the instruments - kind of heartbreaking. Here are some normal-seeming, apparently happy college guys just hanging out, talking about a student film, joking around and being friends. It's nothing much out of context, but after you know everything else that they went through and that a couple guys are missing, possibly dead, another one has serious memory loss and maybe a split personality, and yet another one is a murderer and possibly in league with/controlled by some abomination... ugh.

That's...pretty much I felt about 54, yeah. Tim probably thinks he's living a relatively normal life, right now. Just wait 'till Jay breaks it to him.

Agreed. Even from the point of view of a lurker, it's pretty offputting.

On a brighter note, I enjoyed this entry; I thought the tension was well done. It's become a bit of a "fridge horror" entry for me - the more I think about it, the more horrifying it gets.

Tim - DAT ACTING.
I wondered whether I spotted Slenders earlier on in the entry, but on closer inspection I think it was just a particularly menacing tree (takes me right back to Season 1 and "circle the shrub").

Also, I had a thought about the whole "slondors should move moar" argument - pretty well all of the dramatic movin' and creepin' takes place in the early entries where the tapes were straight from Alex. Given that it's now assumed that Alex and TO are in league somehow, maybe the creepy movements were all concocted by Alex and TO in order to freak anyone who saw the videos, and aren't part of TO's usual MO. (If so, it'll be the first piece of film Alex has directed well.)[/quote]

OOG
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I hope Troy, Joseph and Tim all read this thread, see how much we're freaking out about Tim's awesomeness and then say something about it in the commentary when the DVD comes out.


Also, about the reason Tim went into the annex, I think it goes deeper than what we're initailly assuming; most of us are thinking they he went in there after he saw the lights because he wanted to appraoch whoever had been producing them, but if that were simply the case, I don't think Jay would have questioned it. It could be a red herring, I'll admit, but Tim obviously has some kind of history with the building. I'm really itching to know what that is. Maybe we'll find out in the next entry.
