OOG speculation:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I like to imagine that the Ark is a relic from Troy's "I'm just making this up as I go along" days and that once he started planning out a real direction for the series and TTA videos he realized, "This is a really dumb idea that's not going to go anywhere, so I'm just going to drop it."

Also OOG:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I really don't think that Troy would let something that enormous hang in the air. The entire channel is named totheark, and even if he didn't have something set in mind when he started, I'm sure he's got something for it now. I mean I know it's totally like Troy to throw in things that we'll speculate the shit out of for nothing, but they're usually little things. Numbers, random objects, things in a conversation that seem slightly out of place.

I just feel like having a whole complementary channel named totheark is a little too big to pass off because he didn't originally intend to take the series this far.

I sort of feel like the ark has already been found. Since season one, we haven't heard anymore desperation of out TTA to find it...I actually don't think there's a single season 2 TTA video that mentions specifically The Ark.

We haven't been focusing on the present timeline that much at all, so it would be really easy not to see the effects of TTA finding the ark...probably something we'll see a lot more of once this 7-month gap is closed. I mean obviously I don't know this for sure but it seems like focus on the actual ark has been shifted a bit in another direction.

Also about the headlights thing, I just feel like there's been a theme of pairs throughout season 2 in TTA. Mostly we just see those two dots that usually seem like eyes, but in Inquiry we've got the two face-like blobs that momentarily appear. We see the headlights too in Sidetone, in the green splotches that run across the screen in Forecast there are pairs of fingerprint-type things, and then the uproar about Twins in Classified...it just seems like a thing. Which is fitting, given that Noah's Ark was all about pairs too.

I've always had the theory that the ark was found in Entry######. That video, to me, seemed to be TTA telling Jay that he's going to use somebody else to get to The Ark. That was also the first time that "eyes" appeared in a TTA video, so yes, I'd say that it's important

No idea what this indicates but I feel like it's important?

Sorry for the now triple post. My smart phone is acting retarded.

I was trying to type that I think the ark was found sometime after ######. Control over who would lead them to The Ark was probably given to Alex, and somehow, he led TTA to where he needed to go. That's also the first video with "the eyes" so no doubt there's importance in there

That's a good point. I never really considered why TTA told Jay "Control is being taken away from you"...but Jay never really had THAT much control to begin with.

I don't know, I mean obviously I'm missing something here. But I do agree that Alex probably had a hand in TTA finding The Ark if it has been found.

Maybe Jay was part of totheark during the 7 months and didn't even know it because he never was filming at the time. Probably not, but possible.

I've always assumed that the "control" was referring to his videos were somehow giving TTA information that he needed. But TTA was waiting for specific videos to be shown but got tired of waiting and shifted his focus on Alex, who could just tell him what he needed to know. Speculation accomplished

I always thought control was being taken away from you referenced the fact that Jay had a hand in posting Entry ######, like it's implied he had posted entry 37.

I'm not sure on that though, I mean its just speculation.
