 		I like the whole double trouble team of J and Tim.

Seriously makes the whole, "YOU MUST NOT SEE ME, YET I CAN STRONGLY HINT WINK TO YOU WHO I AM"

... Quite literally.

And and makes the whole "Tim not being hostile to J directly and looking at him melancholically therefore TIME TRAVEL theory" Into "Tim was friends with Jay beforehand"

Wich is a whole lot more pausible =P

 		If not friends, then at least two people with the same agenda. Who knows, maybe the reason that TTA is so fucked up right now is because Jay was the one in charge last time, and it's Jay's fault that they failed. Hence TTA's current MO of "fuckit, I'm going to toy with you and then use you to get to what I want." While at the same time, there's the fact that Jay always winds up safe in his car or his home as a message: "Not only am I going to make things go MY way, I'm not going to fuck things up so that you come to harm. SCORN!"

Or I could be completely wrong, and TTA could simply be a Transylvanian after all, ifyouknowwhatImean...

 		At the moment, I want to see Jay and Tim team up to fight Slender Man... then watch them both get reamed.

 		They need the rest of the team to power up before they can take the bigbad on, unfortunately. v_v

On a random note: I had a stray thought last night. (Prepare for rampant speculation!)

What if this isn't the first time that Jay has gone looking for Alex, and Alex did not actually go missing in the way that Jay writes about in the Introduction episode? I'm suggesting this because in #22, we see Alex talking about burning the tapes, but he obviously never does that. However, Jay nearly quotes what Alex had to say in Introduction, without supposedly having seen or been in possession of #22 at the time.

Could it be that Jay saw #22 (along with the rest of the tapes) earlier in time, but had been made to forget what he saw? I'm also suggesting this because it seems strange that TTA would be in possession of #22 along with the sound from other videos.

Now THAT would be a plot twist. Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

Of course, this time, Jay had the idea to post it all online for the world to see... perhaps he subconsciously knew that he wanted others to see it this time, so he would have someone (us) to remind him if he forgot again?

Quote:
What if Tim and Jay had actually been working on finding Alex and Brian, respectively, at some point before the series started, and in their investigation, they'd BOTH had access to the tapes? Perhaps Tim had been analyzing sounds and such from some of the missing-audio tapes, found something that was deeply troubling, and had censored them while keeping copies for himself? Maybe something during an earlier investigation set him off on the road to becoming the masked psycho that we know from the most recent videos?

I like that, I like it a lot. It explains why he's acting like this is some sort of sick twisted game for him, and why he's not actually hurting Jay.

Quote:
It could be that they were BOTH made to forget at some point, so in #15, they both genuinely felt that they didn't really know one another save for what Jay saw from the tapes. There's ample evidence to suggest that they have had their brains wiped at least once. There could be an entire backstory that happened between the original filming and when Introduction appeared on the internet that they don't remember, or mis-remember.

That would mean that Tim/Masky isn't TTA, though, since TTA has been replying to the videos since #9. No, if Tim/Masky is TTA, then he's been cognizant since day one, somehow.

If Tim/Masky isn't TTA, he's definitely affiliated somehow. Maybe you're right and he didn't remember, but TTA recruited him?

Quote:
If something happened to Alex that Jay found hard to stomach, perhaps he replaced the actual memory with something more benign, mixed with what he saw from #22: "Alex gave me the tapes instead of burning them and moved away."

Think a mix of Silent Hill 2 and Shutter Island for psychological twist endings?
Wow... creepier and creepier.

And it is fairly obvious by now that Jay played a much bigger part in whatever happened to Alex than he remembers. Hey, maybe this could be the real answer. That's just scary.

Yeah, and then Alex, Brian, Seth and Sarah all show up to revive them with the power of teamwork...

Or, what Dray said.

 		Hahaha, now I'm imagining some lame anime ending where they all digivolve into ultimate and kill Slenderman. (And then WarDarkAngelMetalpantsBurritoHyperSlendermon will appear and the team will think they're screwed, but the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP will prevail!)

To be honest, though, I actually kind of want a horrifying ending. None of this happy stuff! I'm a sadistic asshole!

I kind of hope that it's the real answer. They play so much with the mindfuck theme (both in character, and with their audience!) that having this be the real series of events would be too cool. It also wouldn't have to answer what Slendy is or how he operates, just that he seriously messes up his victims even in passing.

I still think that TTA is Tim. #9 is the first episode in which Tim appears in MH, is it not? If Tim for whatever reason saw himself in #9 (say he's an SA goon as well and found Jay's links from the forum?) then it could have flipped a switch in his brain that'd previous been held at 'forget'.

 		Does anyone else hav a weird feeling that TTA/Tim (I still believe they are the same in gollumish split personality/ venom like symbiotic mask self reference) will die before Jay?

 		No, but now that you mention it... it seems plausible. I'm thinking it could play out like this: TTA will attack Jay, causing Jay to kill him in self-defense, only to have Slender Man kill Jay.

Which is what I said earlier. Chekhov's gun; Jay's knife, will be the fatal weapon to end TTA's life. Or the gun in which the bullet casing came from.

EDIT: That should say "from which," not "in which"... or should it?

 		I hadn't thought about it, myself! It does seem likely, though. If he IS on Jay's side after all, that would be the most likely way for him to 'prove' it. Happens all the time with partially othered characters, the whole 'noble sacrifice' crap. :\

Either way, they're probably going to be killed. Seems like the best way to tie up everything and sever the story with a definitive ending!

 		OR: Scene showing Jay being attacked by Slendy. Chaos ensues, and camera goes black. All that can be heard is muffled voices. The blackness fades out. We can see Jay, with those black eyes seen in Return. He holds a mask to himself and puts it on. Fade to blackness.


I love unplausable endings. Razz

 		I always figured Jay would die. I hadn't thought about Masky/Tim dying, but I had kind of assumed that TTA would be left alive, would probably upload the last entry, and then be left to wallow in his insanity or something else that's left to the viewer to decide. I guess we'll see how it plays out though!

Gahhh I'm going to go crazy waiting for this today.

 		I figure around... what, 25 hours left before the next update? XD If it's sooner, then WOOH! If later... well, what can you do?
