If someone was stalking me, the fact that they went out of their way to show that they could kill me would do the exact opposite of calming me down.

I like the idea that Alex is becoming the operator. This finally puts some of the threat back into the series. Alex is a dangerous person, as proven by encounters with Jay, Jessica, and "Bruce". If he's gaining powers of the operator, or being directly controlled (as in not just being ordered or acting out of desperation or fear), then that's pretty damn scary right there.

Well that's a rather disturbing image to start out the morning.

There have been a lot of references to eyes in TTA videos; the most recent in Surveillance, with the eyes on screens, and "sees now". This must mean something, but as usual, I'm blind to what it is.

Now J is dreaming of Alex with no eyes, like what is written in some of Alex's scribbles, "NO EYES" "SEES ME". Making a noise like Operator distortion. That is horrifying! It's like he's dreaming Alex is the Operator, not his friend at all anymore. So sad too!
I guess J will be on the move again, since he tweets he needs to get away. I hope we get a new location, that would be nice.

Watching Fragments again, and being creeped out in my own home in the bright daytime.

Also, Indicator, whose description says "blind". Memories has to do with eyes, as well as Warning. Lots of eye symbolism, all of it creepy as hell.

The more I think about this, the more disturbing it becomes. At first, I thought that Jay was dreaming of alex being tortured and mutilated, but then I thought the screams were some form of echolocation. I rememberd the scene in entry 44 where Alex was staring expressionlessly at himself in the mirror--as if the Operator was trying his body on for size. But if Alex is entirely posessed by the Operator, what does that tell us about it? If it's exressing itself thought Alex, than what it's expressing is not that eerie alien calm we associate with him, but white-hot, murderous rage. The Operator hates humans.

Of course, we don't know how much of that rage is Alex's anger at having his life stolen from him. But even though this is a dream, it's Jay's subconscious mind giving him real information.

TheOperator

I'm reminded of the blackness under characters' eyes in the past where The Operator is involved. Maybe looking at it damages your eyes, similar to how cameras can get damaged trying to film it. Could explain why Hoody covers their whole face too. I'm totally over thinking this.

We're half way through the last season. The Rake is not going to appear.

Maybe it is symbolizing something good? Alex reaching out for help but the operator stole his eyes and voice. Like the real Alex is locked away in his own mind and he can't see out of his own eyes and can't scream using his own voice. Because the operator is controlling his body and using them
