Someone told me it sounded like some demo version of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNRH7_Kd5Yc

I know that that is extremely unhelpful, but I figured it couldn't hurt. It also made me think of Alex's dog. Also, this could be proven wrong any time, but I figured this couldn't hurt either. In the song...

Reminds me of Forecast being taken from a video with a dog lung, where they bring a dog back to life after chopping it's head off. Am I the only one expecting some zombie dog shit here?

Thoughts on what "Intermission" might mean:

- Since the intermission usually comes around halfway during a performance, TTA is saying that Jay is about halfway through the tapes in terms of finding material of actual significance. I mean, even if there's seven months' worth of stuff there and this is towards the beginning, it'd be pretty incredible for the whole seven months to be this action packed; I think that either there were significant amounts of downtime in which just plain not much happened or Jay's investigations were curtailed fairly early on in the 7 months, so he only spent (for example) 1 month of time actually continuing the investigation and 6 months or so in Slenderlimbo.

If this theory is right and the intermission marks the halfway point measuring from the start of the tapes from the safe, and Jay has found half the important material on the tapes, then we can expect Jay to run out of cool shit to show us on the tapes at around Entry 47 or so - maybe less if Jay's review of the tapes is interrupted or if he's able to dump a large amount of content into an entry, maybe more if the entries are chopped up a bit more or if Jay slips in an update on his current situation at some point. At that point I suspect Jay will have learned enough to decide what he wants to do and the final act of the season will involve him enacting that decision.

- The "performance" in question is not the material on the tapes, but Jay's experiences since waking up in the hotel. It seems more than possible that Jay returning to himself (or, as might be the case, spontaneously losing 7 or so months of memories overnight) and then waking up in a hotel room next to Jessica and presumably under the oversight of Masky (since he intervened when Jessica and Alex decided to leave the hotel) was stage-managed in some way - as though this whole second phase of MH has been a performance in which Jay has become the unwilling lead actor. (Hell, in Jessica they even gave him a female lead/damsel in distress.) This "intermission" is an indication that Jay's time is running out and soon enough the curtain will fall on him for the last time.

If this theory is right and the intermission marks the halfway point of season 2, we can expect season 2 to end at around Entry 54 - again, perhaps a shade less if there are more substantial entries towards the end, perhaps a shade more if the entries are more fragmentary and cover less material. (Entry 50 would be a nice round number to end on.)

Now I want a zombie dog too... I could name it Brian... and have it fetch me some snacks... Joking aside I am no good with figuring TTA stuff out. Just here to follow along the discussion and raise questions when I get lost.

Edit: There is no defined time that one can sllee pno.w is there?

some good analysis


Very much all of this, especially the part about the beginning of season 2 being a performance. Jay didn't know what the hell was going on, he just took the role he landed in and ran with it. To me, this whole arc of going through the tapes has been like an intermission, because all action in the present came to an abrupt halt (except for Twitterpocalypse). I really hope we come to the end of the tapes soon. Because you're right - although there's like 6 1/2 months still left to go through (depending on how you gauge the timeline), a lot of that is bound to be downtime. At some point we're going to get a flurry of action that will probably lead us to "noentry" in #29. Once Jay is up to speed, then he can finally decide what to do next.

The color distortion in the footage at the end reminded me of "Exit". Both videos used a filter that overemphasized any darker colors as black without transitional colors. You'll notice there are no dark grays in "Intermission".

Both videos have similar themes ("I saw you in that past footage you just posted"), so it's interesting TTA used similar color distortion when manipulating the footage.

I definitely like that TTA was added to the picture as a cutout. It seems symbolically important. Is the cutout implying he teleported there, or that he wasn't fully present? Or, does adding TTA into the picture imply that even though Jay didn't see him, TTA had been there the whole time?

When I first watched it I didn't think of the tree as having an operator symbol. But more of a Slender figure with an x over his face. I honestly can see a thin body below the symbol. Going back to Alex's art, Slenderman always had an x over his face.

I can see this, too.

Going off on a tangent, maybe the taping of the tree to the drawing is to show that TTA is "behind the curtain"? As in, something that was there, but hidden?

So we're pretty sure that in the drawings, the figure is added on later. But what about that tree? That must be significant too. It's almost like he's saying "This wasn't here before, but now it is and shit's gonna go down".

Looks like long hair coming off of the figure. Alex has long hair, but not that long. Know who else has long hair? Jessica has long hair.


I agree. The figure has long hair. However, to me, the eyes looked outlined. Like... Glasses... Which is why I'm leaning more towards Alex on this one.

The way I see it is that we know #26 happened on 18th of April and that #34 happened on 21st of April.

From there it is likely about 2 to 3 days between #34 and #35 (23rd-25th April), but this is purely speculation and the only uncertainty. #36 happened on the same day as #35.

It was then one week before #39 placing it about the 30th of April to the 2nd of May. #40 happens the day after, so it's on the first few days of May.


Yup! That all sounds perfect.


I have to agree, this does seem to make the most sense now. I appreciate the frame of reference, it gives me more to think about.

I really hate to bring this up but hopefully before someone else thinks its a mask. The image someone, to busy to check who or quote, thought was a mask looks to be a close up of a leaf. You can make out the ground and you can tell that the object does not move with it. Looking more I see a twig its attacked to... I am going to bet the twig is attached to a tree.

Again hate to bring it up but it may prevent theories from being made or thought true over a leaf and not the real thing.

I'm not seeing a tree with an operator signal. I only see TTA. Someone help me out here?

Considering it was already pretty much resolved a page or two ago, there really wasn't a need to bring it up.

I think it is supposed to be the tree on the far left in the top picture. Look closest to the bottom branch.

I think I kinda see one on the tree that's fallen over, but I'm not seeing one on the branches on the far left. Nor am I seeing any other figure besides TTA.

EDIT: Okay, at about 0:13, I kiiiinda see one, but not exactly. Doesn't look like the Operator either.
