I loved the similarity between what Alex did and what Jay did. If this is leading to more parallels between the two of them, I'm going to be very pleased.


This.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I also agree with the generally proposed sequence of events. This is after Entry 4, Alex has come back to investigate the park. Runs into The Operator, after that, who knows what happens to him.

Alex said that Tim had a small role in Marble Hornets, but in the trailer from the Season 2 DVD, Tim seems to have a major role.


I guess Tim's role was pretty small compared to Brian's and Sarah's. I mean, the cast only consisted of 6 people.

This Entry is also definitely after #4.


Like I said, that Alex drove that far out indicates that he hadn't started spotting the Operator around his property yet. Could have even taken place before entry #3.

Nice entry. Now to find out where it belongs... It's obviously from the Season 1 era, and in the same place where Entry #4 took place. This is probably quite early in the chronology because Alex is driving around at night, just like he did in Entry #2. At first I thought he wasn't scared of the operator, but on a second viewing I noticed he's looking over his shoulder and he's breathing heavily, so this might be during the phase where he quickly became afraid of the operator. And when he films the drive he doesn't frame himself like he did in Entry #3, and that seems a little out of character to me. Maybe he just wanted some B roll for Marble Hotnets or something.

It seems a little bit odd to me that he would drive to the park like this though- if he thought the operator was a real person why would he expect it to be hanging around the park at night like this? (In Entry #2 I always assumed Alex took his dog home and immediately went back, so the entry took place about 30 minute after the sighting, which wouldn't be insane.) But this time? He just drives there, finds the operator and shouts at it. He doesn't even seem surprised to see it there. I'm suspecting totheark sent Alex something, telling him to go there.

I'm so glad Jay mentioned the Amy thing as a reason why these tapes are separate from the rest. That was starting to bug me since Entry #69 (The Entry #51 and Entry #22 tapes still bug me.) And yeah, these are definitely 100% certified AlexTapes. I'm still rolling my eyes at the untouched-for-seven-years-until-Jay-derps-into-them thing, but if that's what's needed for the plot to move forward then so be it. Now to ponder the significance of Amy...

Finally, I love the idea that the operator spends most of its time in a children's play area just waiting for lonesome children. It would be great if that's where it was and Alex disturbed it, leading to all this trouble.

Well if it is after Entry 4, then he already knows something is wrong with this thing, as it vanished when he chased it around that trashcan. He probably went there because that was the last place he saw it, or something.

Yes! Also why when jay ran towards TO in #52 we could barely see his tie (because he was too tall) but when Alex ran towards him we could perfectly see his head?. He was shorter in the 09 or what?

Well, Troy is a lot shorter than Joseph.

Anyone feel like going through the list we have and putting forth OPINIONS in a new thread? Razz

For now, I'm going to stick this between 4 and 13, but I'm starting to think what we have right now is askew.


I'd put it between #4 and #13. But it still seems very tentative at best.

It occurs to me that Alex may have destroyed the footage mentioning Amy so that nobody would be able to find him after he left.

@Geneaux486: I disagree that it would be before 3. Why else would he be filming himself driving? If he just wanted to capture the guy on film, he would have started filming when he got to the park.

Whoot!
I NEVER post this soon after an entry! Very Happy

So, Alex goes Slender-hunting after telling Amy about meeting someone about where to film. Is it Tim?

I think this Entry is when Alex realized how dangerous The Operator can be.

I would like to think this happens directly between #2 and #4.

Could easily say he was filming the entire drive on the off chance that he spotted the guy before he got there. He was filming himself driving in entry 2 as well, and at that point the Operator was nothing more than a guy standing under a street light to him.

Doubt it came before entry 4. The way he stopped at the swing and whirled around was similar enough to the motions in entry 4 that it seemed deliberate, like he was trying to recreate the circumstances in which he first sighted the thing.

I'd say this Entry could have taken place before Entry #4, and that one is the continuation of this one. Also, at first I thought this one was the continuation of Entry #2.

Also, loved how Alex did the same as Jay did in Entry #52, attacking TO while shouting "What do you want?!"

So we've gotten official confirmation that Amy was with Alex back in 2006. i guess that would explain why Jay seemed to know who she was in entry 42. i wonder why Alex burned tapes that had to do with Amy? Did he think that would protect her from TO? Also, could this mean the unseen girl in entry 7 could have been Amy after all?

Another thought: could Alex have also burned a lot of the tapes concerning Sarah? That would explain why we hardly saw her in the mh tapes despite her being the lead lady in Alex's movie.
