Excelent point, just wanted to say.

I'll go for capturing Hoody too. I'd like to think Jay is that smart.

 		I want to say, "Even if they know Hoody is 'in Rosswood,' how will they find him when they've never managed it before" but I just keep coming back to, "They'll do it if the plot demands it of them."

I'm of a mind that they want Hoody to come to them. Which is why they posted an announcement of their actions so far before they're going. To make sure he sees it and is there.

That is what I'm referring to. The problem with that plan is that they more-or-less know that Hoody is just about always watching them already, but they've never found him when he doesn't want to be found. Tim probably wasn't looking, but Jay frequently looks for people following him, doesn't see anyone, & then his misadventures end up becoming the subject of the next Totheark video.

So it just seems to me that if that plan actually works, it's oddly convenient.

Jay's never had a (reliable?) Wingman before. Tim's eyes might be better than his? (Although why he would then want to advertise Tim would be with him is moot? Perhaps a "Tim can't make it but I'm going alone anyway" tweet tomorrow?)

That's a fair point. Why is the main character of a story always the chosen one, or always overcome at least a few of the obstacles? Because the plot demands it. It's a fair point.

 		I don't know why they don't just split up with two cameras, and have the chestcam attached to tim in case he goes masky again

or hell, put the chest cam around a tree and wait somewhere nearby, and hopefully it'll pick up the operator "taking" someone without any distortion taking place if it's far away enough. i just want them to buy like 10 cameras and set them up around rosswood and hopefully one of them will pick something up

 		Tim with the chestcam would be really interesting, especially if something does happen to him and he goes Masky. I just want to see the chestcam come back for some reason.

Success or failure is all based on Jay's incompetence? I love it!

I'd like to see them overcome the obstacles because they genuinely thought through them & came up with a plan that worked. Not "oh we just happened to find Totheark's hiding spot even though I've literally never even come close to accomplishing this before."

Gosh, I hope we get a more sensible story than that. This is precisely why I've been questioning the "let's go to a random place in Rosswood" plan -- because it will probably work.

Rosswood's just such a huge place, maybe dozens of square miles, with so many different sites with supernatural history, and yet these two goons are probably going to waltz in there and find something on the first try. They're going to succeed in an investigation where the odds of success would be incredibly slim in real life. If the only reason for their success is that "the plot demands it," I'm going to be a little disappointed. That'd be so weak. I agree with Lithp, here: they need to succeed by thinking things through and taking decisive action, not by stumbling onto things at random.

On finding and interrogating Hoody: if that is their plan, I don't think it will come to fruition for a few entries yet. Hoody's been two steps ahead of them the whole time, including 61-62, where he got them to run out into the woods at night and left them unconscious for who knows how long. Hoody seems to be able to do pretty much whatever he wants to these guys. If they could just go and catch him because they decide they want to, then that would take some of the menace away from the Hoody character.

I'd imagine something more drawn out; perhaps the guys decide to pretend to go along with the next Hoody manipulation until they have a chance to get him, and then we spend a few entries wondering who is really scamming whom, before they finally meet for a confrontation. It's too big a mystery to resolve in the first entry after they decide to work together.

I can see why finding Hoody would be a reasonable first priority, but there have to be other options, too, like looking into the Operator directly through folklore or old news clippings, or pursuing the medical angle with the help of Tim's doctor or a return to the Hospital, or retracing Alex's known steps in Rosswood. I'm not certain of anything at this point.

I had a friend who knows tim irl ask him why they don't use it, he said it's because they can't see anything while they're filming so they have to kind of wing it and hope it got what they wanted

I can see why they wouldn't want to use it, would probably be hard to film stuff

 		I agree that Jay and Tim's progress should be realistic and that they shouldn't just find a folder with all the answers, but at the same time, they need to accomplish something significant when they go to Rosswood. If they don't find anything this time, it will really feel like artificial lengthening.

I'm still expecting a TTA video before sunday to give them some direction on what to do there

I could see that happening. It could go well with an entrapment plan, and it would solve problem of aimless wandering through Rosswood. I'd be on board with that, but it would be nice to see the guys show some initiative and cleverness on their own without always being led around by Hoody. Fine line to walk.

Also, I might like to see them pick up one of the other plot threads for an entry or two; the series has been really focused on the Jay-Tim-Hoody dynamic for a while now - I'd like to get back to some other issues, like Alex, the Operator, or even Jessica for a bit, just to change things up. Not that I'll be complaining if they don't, but a new partnership and investigation is an opportunity to take the plot in a different direction if they want to.
