Ok, so now that the initial WTF!? has slowed down, let's focus on the few things that we've learned, shall we boys and girls?

Alex is familiar enough with Jessica that he has her phone number. Whether the three lived together is up for random speculation, but it's safe to say that Jessica was close enough to Alex to be influenced/haunted by the Slenderman.

Alex continues to be sketchy with Jay regarding his current residence. When he does finally appear to go "home" he ends up passing through some type of warp and into the middle of a strange and empty forest where he meets with the Slenderman and is subsequently pulled in.

This part is the most interesting to me... Alex is sitting by his car, forlorn, waiting, hesitating almost, then he seems to know EXACTLY where to go, and doesn't scream or run upon seeing Slenderman. I think, much like many have assumed Masky/Tim are, Alex has become a vessel for the Slenderman, and the intended target (and possibly the target all along) is Jay.

Thoughts?

This thread is zooming!

Another thought occured to me. I think we know now why Alex uses a chest-cam: It's the only way to record what happens to him after he gets mind-controlled by the Operator. When he's being controlled he won't bother to carry the camera around, but with it strapped to his chest...

Clever.


XD When I clued in to that, I was very excited. Aha. Don't know why.

General thoughts, though: Not trusting Alex unless...well, I don't know. But I'm no longer on the fence about him.

Holy shit 'n shinola!! That was WELL worth the wait and I called it...that this entry was liable to be huge and even though I said that--it still FAR exceeded my expectations!! I don't usually flail or cower with hands to face--but in this entry I did....And holy fuck thank you that we FINALLY have at least SOME idea where Jessica comes in.
As far as how Slendy looked--this entry is showing him in daylight and for more than just a brief second or two...I am allowing alot of latitude as far as his appearance since it must be pretty difficult to pull it off without some CGI or summat.

TL;DR--HOLY FUCK!!! Shocked Foily!

Any ideas what this could possibly be? I'm currently at work at the moment so I don't have time to post my theories and such, but I can't help but think back to the most recent totheark movie with those headlights / eyes....

Discuss!

I don't believe #29 is close to this yet...
I feel like there is more to it.

I think the Operator is going to use Alex for something first, THEN later #29 will be the result of it... in #29 the person looks spooked as the hold the cameras. At the end of this entry, Alex is calmly walking to the Operator.

So... did anyone find that circling bird in the distance when Jay points the camera up at the window creepy as hell?

Also, probably less intentional, but still interesting, is the fact that while riding around in the car Jay's camera was focused on the rain on the windshield. Imma go watch it again, but it seemed odd to me the first time.

I pretty sure he said that Jessica was a roommate, which is why she would know where Amy was. It's also important to note that if Alex called Jessica he probably expected an answer, which most likely means Jessica hasn't lost her memory and ended up in hotel-land yet.

I posted a list like this but everyone missed it.

Jay: Who are you calling?
Alex: Roommate. [pause] Hey Jessica, it's Alex... I was just calling to see if you heard from Amy recently. [...]

They were living together.

Like maybe lure Jay into a Forest where people were put through death trials, and ambush him?

Awesome analysis.

This was probably after Jay's encounter with Slendy in the forest, so maybe Alex went into the forest to look for clues because he had exhausted all other leads? If he was desperate enough it may have seamed like a good idea at the time.

Ah, didn't hear him. Alex is a mumbler.

Also, I'm waaaay more interested in Slendy's new string puppet, Alex... and what he plans on doing with him.

Or Alex was living in his apartment while Amy and Jessica were living together. It could be close by so he was always over at her place.

My first impressions on watching this entry is that Alex is fibbing to Jay about forgetting things. I suspect this could be because Jay is a masky and doesn't know it, so Alex is trying to keep Jay from getting any info while still remaining useful, without having Jay go creep around Alex's bed or whatevs when Jay is his masky self. Kind of like how Tyler Durden in Fight Club knew things that the narrator knew...

...Anyway, this theory could fit into the "he lies" bit that TTA says.

Also, epic ending. Perhaps noentry is a followup? I suspect that's Amy's bloody clothing, sorry Alex. We'll find out. Man, I am really enjoying having questions answered (Jessica). Very Happy I also like Alex just taking it to the man, I'd get sick of running from Slenderman too after a while.

While I was watching the entry I viewed it in full screen and I was so immersed in it that I actually grabbed at the screen at Alex's arm when he went down, trying to get him back up...

... that's normal, right? lol I was so worried for Alex. For tall and slender reasons.

I think this is so important. Because that means Jessica could possibly be planted in the hotel. She lived with Alex, so it wouldn't take much for him to convince her to lure Jay somewhere.

Well I just about shit myself when Slendy showed up. I dunno, I just wasn't expecting it, I guess. It had been a calm entry up until then, and...I dunno. Even when Alex went under the canopy, I was just like "Huh, that's a pretty ominous looking foHOLY SHIT WHY ARE YOU HERE."

I'm glad Jessica's hasn't been forgotten though, I liked her and I want to know more about her.
