 		[SPEC] Eyes in recent TTA videos
Or rather the lack of them...
I was particularly interested with how eyes, or rather the lack of them, seem to be a repeating motif in recent TTA videos.

In the new Decline for example, we see that "ALWAYS WATCHING" guy previously seen in other TTA entries, along with a screenshot of a yet-unknown person.


But what I see most striking is the scene with what is presumed to be Alex at gunpoint, yet with no pupils. Maybe this signifies/symbolises Alex being possessed by whoever wanted to kill him on his birthday? Or more, it could be him already dead.


If examined closely one can speculate that he is not missing his pupils, but maybe his eyes entirely. The weird shading around his right eyesocket leads to this, but this might be wrong.

There is also a scene with an eye superimposed in the background, giving credibility to the possible importance of eyes (as it was deliberately placed there).


In regards to other speculation, the reappearance of "always watching" man gives possibility that this might be TTA or Hoody. I had a suspicion that it might be leaning more towards Hoody, as we don't actually know who is behind his mask, and that "it" might be hiding it's true form. I think this is over-speculation, though.

As mentioned before, in some previous TTA video (I think it was Decay) we saw "always watching" man, but some scenes had red points centered around his eye-socket things. Maybe this is somehow giving hints that we should take note of his eyes, or that there may be a more symbolic meaning to it (of being empty, featureless).

What do you guys think? Is this leading on to something, or just over-speculation? Very Happy

EDIT: Going through all TTA videos, I found eyes being used in Survellience, Isolation, Classified, and possibly Indicator. There are probably more than this, though.

 		This has been repeating since season 1. Eyes play a huge role in TTA videos.

They sometimes replace eyes with other things, such as the 0 button on a telephone (number you dial to reach an operator), and sometimes the eyes are replaced with yellow and/or green circles

The yellow and/or green circles themselves in the tta videos are sometimes seen outside of someones eyes, and it's possibly implied that whoever the circle represents was there at the time

 		In the "TTA is Sarah and this is why" thread, it was suggested that Sarah may have been shot in the eye by Alex.

 		Something happened. The eyes used to be green or brown, not too dark. Now they are totally missing, like in Jay's dreams. Perhaps it means a character changed, for example, being possessed by the Operator.

Is there any kind of consistency that we can find with these previous examples? I mean, are there certain characters that are edited like this throughout the series?

And if you ever need a reason to facepalm for some weird reason, go read the post where it's claimed

Look up "Classified". The same circles you see in those videos can be seen in random TTA vids throughout seasons 2 and 3

 		The eyes/lack of eyes are all over TTA's videos. Not all of them, but a lot nonetheless, especially in seasons 2 and 3.

In Warning. (human eyes)
In Forecast. missing eyes eyes)
In Intermission. (glowing eyes)
In Memories. (glowing eyes)
In Classified. (glowing/human eyes)
In Extraction. (human eyes)
In Decay. (glowing/human eyes)
In Isolation. (human eyes)
In Surveillance. (human eyes)
In Decline. (glowing/human/missing eyes)

If anything, the eyes are just part of TTA's theme that they're "always watching". Then again, giving Alex and Seth/Brian those eyes in Decline has me confused. Maybe the eyes have a different meaning?
