Red herrings?

I'd think that we wouldn't be able to actually confirm any red herrings until after the series is over and we know what wound up being relevant and what didn't.

Geneaux WHY

when you see a topic has 20+ views and 0 replies it's because everyone knows not to post in it so a mod can delete it. he could have asked this in the entry 60 thread. he's new so he gets a pass this time

If we're going to condense every talking point into one thread why give MH its own subforum at all? Also if a mod decides it does belong in the Entry# 60 thread, (debateable seeing as how the topic covers all three seasons) this thread can still be merged with the Entry 60 thread. I stand by my decision to post here

Hey Starkley,

On the Marble Hornets season one DVD, Joseph and Troy stated that the BONE grafatti outside Brian's house was there whilist they were shooting and of no real consequence to the plot. But given that it was also found outside the abandoned hospital, it looks like that they might have written it into the series! (Or there just messing with us. Evil bastards)

You guys are way too conservative about making multiple threads. The reality if that if a thread truly has no use, then no one will post in it and the thread will end up on the bottom of the thread list at which point it won't matter if it's there anymore or not, so it doesn't really need to be deleted manually. I call it: Thread Darwinism.

But I think this thread is interesting, so it's irrelevant. I think either Brain or Seth is a red herring. They've both appeared this season, I think one of them is Hoody as well as half of totheark (With Masky). But since, at least in my opinion, they can't both be totheark with Tim, I think one of them was included this season as a red herring.

I'm placing my bets on Seth as the red herring. Mainly because if he was revealed as totheark, then I suspect the majority of the fans to be like "Who the fuck is that?" Unless Seth appears in some more MH era footage. But to be honest I'm basically guessing, I could actually see it going in a few directions.

totheark is noneother than

I do think that the bullet casing might wind up being a misdirect. Used to think it was meant to tell us that Tim murdered Brian and took his house, but that's probably not true.

I think that the tapes Alex gave Jay were implied to be red herrings (sort of)
by showing specific tapes that make it appear that Alex is the victim.

The tapes aren't false entirely, but they don't show the entire truth.

I want to say the tunnel is a red herring as it appeared to have some significance to The Operator like a portal or something but it is just used as Alex's favourite murder ground.

Oh and one annoying red herring - Skully. How people can take half a second of a distorted mask that is never referenced to mean there are multiple maskies is beyond me.

There's no reason to delete this thread. However, the post could have gone in the Season 3 discussion thread.

Either way, it's here now and if people want to discuss this, they can. I might merge it with the Season 3 thread at some later date if that's where discussion tends to lead.

The only official red herrings so far are tothepark, and BONES.

Possible red herrings, tunnel, bullet shell, Amy, skully, tower, jays apartment fire, no one at the hotel, and basement o doom (less likely since we know oog

I don't think there are actually all that many proper "red herrings," rather questions that will most likely simply be left unanswered. Take, for example, the bullet casing. I find it unlikely that we will ever truly know where it came from, however I don't believe it is entirely irrelevant. That may sound a little convoluted, but I don't see a way that we could be given a definitive answer to its origins, but its also equally unlikely that there just happened to be a bullet casing lying around. Just my opinion though, we can't know for sure until the series is over.
