Then maybe he didn't leave it there for Jay, or he wasn't ready for Jay to find it yet.

No, it's ambiguous as of now because we don't know.

I think he checked his cell phone after that.

 		Geneaux isn't nearly paragon enough to warrant the light side title

You gotta find someone who will defend the series no matter what it does, and that's the person who you want to go against me

To pravado:

We know several new things. Among them: Hoody interrogated Alex. This is the only real explanation for having tied him up in a chair rather than killing him straight away. Another is that Tim has still been keeping secrets from Jay. Whatever he was holding when he woke up, it was not a cell phone. The way he was holding it and the way he reacted to seeing it were all wrong. It was probably a gun.

The most important thing we learned though, is that Hoody has information he intended to pass on to Jay, but which was lost to the tape damage. This means that Hoody has to pass along this information, and the way he goes about doing so could make all the difference. It could just be a TTA entry, but it could be more. After all, Hoody intended something to come of that information being passed along. This entry's main power is in it's potential, because the way Hoody reacts to it will tell us quite a bit.



It looked to me like he tied alex up so tim could beat the shit out of him and he could get an easy kill. There was no interrogation present, and alex would know the voice right away.

If hoody wanted to pass information onto jay he shouldn't have put it on a tape that he hid that he ASSUMED jay would find under a pile of FUCKING DIRT IN THE MIDDLE OF ONE OF A HUNDRED ROOMS IN A HOSPITAL JAY DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO GO BACK TO

Alex was out cold, or he couldn't have tied him up. Easy kill either way. And the tape shows Alex after he had been tied up and woken up, with several parts cut. Easily could have been an interrogation in there.

The specific room he put it in was one that had previously been shown to be important, and you're forgetting that Tim may well still be working with Hoody. Finding it there would have been a foregone conclusion in that situation. It's possible that you're right, but my points were to show that it isn't filler, not that the writing wasn't sloppy.

He put down the mask, I'm talking about the other thing. The one he pulls from a pocket before looking around nervously and leaving. Some say it's a cell phone, but I disagree.

Agreed on the tying part. Hoody wanted Tim to get a good few licks in before finishing the job.

Hiding the tape is lazy writing, but it gives us some questions. Where is alex now? Why cover up the audio? (I'm assuming Hoody was yelling back at Alex/Talking to Tim, so you'd have to let it silent, or we could judge by voice who was under the hood.)

As far as Tim waking up, yes he had the mask when he stood, but then he dropped it when he started wretching behind the trees, then pulled a large black object out. Looked like too big to be a phone, maybe a handheld GPS-sized object, or perhaps Hoody planted the gun on him.

Regardless, there was a bit of filler here, but not a terribad entry.

Can anyone get some freeze frames though? Specifically, the millisecond cuts that appear here and there throughout the entry.

Thanks.

I know I sound like a bit of a hungry, hungry hypocrite, but I'm pretty sure that the tortured soul behind the hood is Brian. As Tim said, Brian was his first real friend after a lifetime of institutionalization, and Hoody is clearly helping Tim, albeit in a strange way. Alex was alive whenever this was shot, and from the looks of it as someone pointed out, it appears that the Operator IS helping him.

And suddenly Hoody not killing Alex makes sense. Brian was Alexs friend during the shooting of Marble Hornets no wonder he hesistated to kill him
It also might explain why the operator took so long to steep in, Alex was in no real danger untill Hoody could work up the courage to pull the trigger

 		I'm confused about why Alex was in the hospital. I assumed that he was there to kill Tim, but when he hears Tim coughing and looks into the room, he just walks away. Kind of odd, isn't it?

Also, I hope we can learn what the missing audio was somehow, if it's important.

 		Time for serious opinion on entry:

Three wild-card characters butting heads plus the Operator showing up to back one of them up while he was being tied, beaten, and slightly gunned by the other two made for about as intense an entry as I figured it would. We got to see a little more of the team-dynamic between Probably-Brian and Masked Tim, in that Tim seems response to his presence but not aggitated by it (maybe Probabrian's mask is designed in a way that doesn't enrage Masked Tim or something). Thinking Probrian wanted to kill Alex but couldn't bring himself to do it for whatever reason (perhaps sees Alex as just another victim when it's all said and done), and for whatever reason the Operator wants Alex alive. Guess in the time between it saving Alex from getting his head smashed in and now he still hasn't done whatever it wants him to do yet. All in all, solid entry. Also, Prian hiding the tape in the hospital isn't bad writing. We have no idea why the hell he did it yet. Unless you consider them leaving something ambiguous to be bad writing, in which case, why have you been watching this show the whole time?

 		I rather liked this entry. We got to see Alex. We got to see Alex get the shit beat out of him, which has been needed for a long time. I kind of liked how it was almost a deja-vu of Entry...45? Where our Dynamic Duo cornered Alex before.

And just what is so darned important about Alex that TO wants him alive? Because he brings him delicious soul-noms?

 		Since the Operator appeared just as Hoody was about to pull the trigger, I wonder, does the Operator want Alex alive for some weird unknown purpose?

Well it's either that or some mundane unknown purpose. I like your theory better though.

What I find interesting is that the tape has audio at some parts, but at other times, it's gone- most notably, when Alex is bound and appears to be yelling. Maybe Hoody removed the audio because of something Alex yelled?


Anyone here good at lip-reading?

On another note, at 3:08 there's a sound of a gun cocking.


I thought that was Alex stepping on glass.


It probably would be a lot of curse words, which MH is not fond of providing their viewers with obscenities. Just a little of off camera violence and blood as well as jumpscares and the possibility of going deaf if you don't control the volume correctly Smile.

As for my Hoody speculation, I know that Hoody isn't fond of TO. Neither is Masky/Tim. The whole "who the fuck is TTA? Proxies? They can't be if they hide from TO is the only thing making me bang my head against the screen after each entry.

Hoody doesn't try to hide from Tim in the hospital but does after when they're outside. That shit makes no sense, and tim wasn't even wearing a mask at any point during the time this takes place in.


Just because Tim isn't wearing the mask doesn't mean he's not in Masky-mode. He'd have to put the mask on AFTER he goes into Masky-mode, and it's not like he carries one around 24/7

 		Good entry. Not great. Still want an answer.


Also I think they did poorly with the blood and makeup. Alex's face shoulda looked a lot worse after Tim's beating and a shot to the head with a pipe.
