Ahem... Occam's Razor doesn't stipulate that the most simple answer is always the right one, just that we should "tend toward" the simplest answer while leaving ourselves open to newer theories.


Ahem, Occam's Razor states "entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" ("entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity," uh, check Wikipedia), or that the simplest explanation that explains everything is the best answer. If new information is added, then the explanation needs to be reexamined and potentially revised.

It doesn't mean that the simplest answer is always right. No one would get anywhere that way. "The sky is blue because a giant with box of blue crayons colored it," is wrong, but it's simpler than why the sky is actually blue which: the oxygen and nitrogens molecules in the air scattering the sun's light in the blue spectrum more than any other color. It's less complex but explains it fully and succinctly.

Just so people are completely clear what it means.

So applying this to TTA, there are two outcomes: Tim is TTA being the more likely. And Alex is TTA, as evidenced by "raw footage from Alex Kralie" but combated by TTA having footage of Jay when Alex was out looking for good ol' Slendyz. A third, less likely one in my opinion, is that Alex and Tim together make up TTA.

 		IMO I don't care who TTA is... it could be Alex's dog for all I care. I just want the reveal to be well executed and not random.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Maybe if you go with TTA had the tapes at one point he cut out Jay finding him and put it on another tape, either labeling them both in order or he still has it and will deliver it to Jay after the edited tape. Then after the edited entry is on TTA puts out a response asking if Jay remembers not explicitly saying if he remembers TTA. Next entry with the reveal.

But yeah this entry gave me a nice new background.

Edited cause I slightly thought about it and that may wind up happening never know.

 		I don't want Masky to be TTA.

TTA is a cynical, conniving mastermind, while Masky is a scared child who does nothing but run away and get his ass handed to him.

I guess I just don't understand all the animosity toward the Tim = TTA theory. It was established early on that Jay assumed Masky and TTA to be the same entity; it's not like it would come out of left field.

The only thing that kinda makes me think they're not the same entity is that, as someone mentioned before, the reveal of Masky wasn't followed immediately by some sort of acknowledgement of Tim being TTA.

But there's not a whole lot of solid evidence against Tim being TTA either. People keep bringing up the leg thing, but just because Jay said that Alex broke his leg doesn't mean that it was really broken. I doubt they stuck around to examine him to make sure.

Anyway, like I said, I'm kind of unclear about why the idea of Tim being TTA rankles so many people so badly. Why would that be the "easy way out"?

Because it's such an obvious first assumption. "GAH! Multiple people out to get me!" *mentally lump them all into one person to cope with stress*

 		Tim chose not to throw Jack's mask into the lake of lava and TTA is Skeet Ulridge and Matt Lillard working together. Can we argue about Intermission now?

 		I think people are waaaay overanalyzing this. The figure is TTA. The first tree at the beginning on the ground has an Operator symbol.

TTA being there means that whoever he is has been able to follow Jay and know exactly where he is at all times.

That, to me, seems to be about all we can get out of this.

Yeah. It's fun to speculate, but there's only so much we can say for sure before it starts to border on the far-fetched. Which is a pity, because this video really has a lot of promise, if we knew what to get from it...

 		I'm on Randoman's side here. Plus Troy just gave an estimate on the arrival of Entry 41-42, so I have more positive things to worry over. But mark my words: if I hear anyone make a Hitchhiker's Guide reference, I will facking cut yew down. (That reference= Wednesday 13's Weirdo A Go Go)

 		I agree with most of these satements that are saying this thread is going waaaay off topic. Who TTA is doesn't really matter in this particular video, while finding out who TTA may be will most definitely help us, we don't have enough evidence to clearly define who TTA is.

So, getting back to "Intermission", I thought it was weird how TTA was undetected by the operator. Maybe his cloak of invisibility also works on the operator? Or maybe the operator only has the ability to focus on one particular person at a time (which wouldn't be too surprsing because most scary movie monsters tend to pull this maneuver).

If I recall this isn't the first time TTA has easily slipped past our tall friend's slendy-senses.

Troy noted in his blog that due to a summer job, 21 will be delayed longer than he thought, but they're going to film as soon as possible. My guess is later this week or next week around our usual Tuesday.

 		Back to the original topic of discussion, they'll reveal TTA's identity when it's time. Until then, any specific characters' faces viewers think they see in a doodle is entirely coincidental. The drawing in Intermission is not meant to be anyone specific.

I do agree with this. Also, thank you all who answered my question re: TTA's identity (which we won't discuss any more here).

And yeah, my first impression watching Intermission wasn't that the figure was meant to be a Character - more than it was just meant to heighten mood, etc. Which, I have to say, it totally did for me. It was creepy as hell.

 		If I may add my two cents before we decide that we can't figure out what that figure is until later.

I have an idea that goes with the assumption that Masky ≠ TTA. I'm not saying I believe this, but let's just go with it for a sec.

What if the figure in the drawing is Masky, and TTA is directing this video to him? What if he isn't talking to Jay at all? "Did you see me? I saw you."

As I write this, it starts to sound more and more stupid. So pardon my intrusion if you just wanna chuck this idea out of the nearest window. I dunno. It was just a thought.
