HOLY SHIT TIM IS A FREAKING AMAZING ACTOR.

So...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Tim did a Marble Hornets binge too, did he?


Seriously, this was amazing. It doesn't do much else, but it was amazing.

I suppose Jay's on his own again for now. Will we see the creepy tunnel next? I dunno.

I was hoping Tim would at least want to learn more. But still...awesome.

Judging by his reaction, all he found were the Youtube videos. Imagine if he came across some of the fanfiction floating around...

Anyone find it strange how Tim noticed how Alex pointed a gun at Jay in entry #53 and yet Tim didn't say anything how he saved them?

What the hell are you talking about?

That was about as clichéd as finding flaming poop in your fridge.


Unless I am wildly misreading what Tim said, and I doubt that, this pretty much confirms my least favorite theory - the "Masky is Tim's dual personality" theory.

Multiple personalities are one of the most cop-outty of the cop-out devices in fiction.


Being an actual sufferer of it, I guess I don't tend to think of it as a cliché but instead life.

Also: your vagueness made me think you meant the whole enchalada.

I'd be willing to bet that TTA has a new video coming soon, with one of two things happening. A: They know Tim is watching, and send a message more or less TO him, making it all-to-clear (Well, clear for TTA) that he has no way out of this. Or B: They imply that Tim was once a member.

Good point. Almost as if he is in active denial over his own role in the events.

There also seems to be a slight distortion at about 4:30ish? It looked like it, but now when I go back it may just be the camera focusing?

My guess is that starting from here, the 2nd Act will have Jay investigating solo, following clues given by Hoody/TTA (starting of course with the maintenance tunnel). At some point in the 3rd act, perhaps near the end of the season, Tim will return and help Jay after realising that he cannot run away from the problem, and that they have to confront the source once and for all.

Running away but not getting away from problems was a theme from the original Marble Hornets, and was seen by Jay in season 1 (after his encounter from Entry 26) and Alex from season 2. So it would be a nice little tie in for Tim to go through the same in this season.

You're not even trying to fix any of this. All you do is point your camera at every little thing that happens. How does that help anybody?


Fucking epic.

I don't think you can call it multiple personalities when mysterious paranormal entities are f*cking with your brain and such.

And it's not like Masky is a fully-developed personality. I don't think he's ever said anything. He just sort of attacks and grunts.

We've seen evidence that people in this series can go into trance-like states and be manipulated. (see Jay in Return) Also, in real life, people can act aggressively or out of character without remembering it, usually in response to trauma like with PTSD, and not remember it.

It would not surprise me if this were happening to Tim, and that he was being manipulated by either Hoody/TTA or TO. Or has some kind of paranormal form of PTSD brought on by Slendy exposure.

If anything, I think YOU're being cliché by assuming that it must be a multiple personality thing. Razz

Really good entry. Tim is easily the best actor in the series.

So no answers other than Time claims he can't remember. I don't even trust him now.

Love how it all unfolded though. I WANT A TTA! No clue how else Jay would figure out what to do next. No tapes, no Tim......... Guess he could go back to that hospital and down the hole. Maybe that is what TTA will tell him to do.

Note: If Tim has been better for the past months and TTAs have come out he probably was not involved. Still that leans more towards the multiple TTAs theory.

Tim still might be lying. Hell he could have seen Jay's twitter saying he is going to come clean and figured why let Jay come clean when he could pretend to find out on his own, thus cutting ties with Jay for the foreseeable future.

I saw a figure in the window throughout. Not sure if Slendy or TTA, but I think it could be either. If it is TTA, it is interesting because it shows that he is more concerned with Jay than The Operator. I think this will be followed with a TTA entry containing another angle of this fight in part

Oh shit... I just realised that Tim flipping out over his "issues" coming back means that Masky has been active over the past few months.

What da fuck has he been doing then?!

Three things here:
1. I'm sure the TTA response to this will be a good one, assuming one happens.
2. The line "for a grand total of twice" makes me laugh for some reason.
3. Jay finds himself in a lot of parking lot shenanigans. This is kind of the opposite of the last time, since everyone is praising the acting.

This is now my new favorite entry. And Slendy wasn't even in it. Good on you, MH. Good on you.

Tim literally picked apart every flawed aspect of the series in a single entry: Jay's lack of doing ANYTHING for three years, the fact that all he does is film things rather than to actually DO anything about what's happening, and how he expects anyone to care if anything on record happens to anyone. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the last episode of Marble Hornets. It should be, anyway; if Tim were to pick me apart like that, I'd have put down my camera and just quit this investigation.
