I think there's another factor. When you first watch all the Marble Hornets entries at once with relatively no idea what's going on, the level of fear you get makes you want to hide under a rock for the rest of your life. I think a lot of people on the forum, and in the community in general, watched all or most of season 1 at once, and absorbing that much fear at once is incomparable. I don't think very many people on the forum has watched all the entries so far at once. We've been watching it as it comes out. Maybe some people have been watching since Entry #3, but most of us haven't. So it's kinda different in that sense. Once season 2 is over I'm gonna watch the whole season at once, and once season 3 is over, I'm gonna watch the whole series at once. And that's going to be a fun night indeed.

I think of it like a trilogy (cuz it is a trilogy technically). The first season we were all being exposed to a completely new story and it made us shit brix and get mind fucked. That's when everyone raves about the first season and how awesome the sequel will be and how they want all their questions answered. But season 2 is just more of a bridge into season 3. It asks more questions and reveals a couple things (Tim being masky) but it all leads to some huge cliffhanger for season 3. Then in season 3 the huge questions like who is the operator and what does he want with Alex/Jay/everyone.

I think that although season 1 scared me MORE, season 2 scared me WORSE. Entries 40, 43, and 46 were some of the scariest in the whole series for me. However, my all time most scary is #14. Overall I would say that 1 is scarier, 2 is still frightening when it can be but focuses more on plot, and something tells me that season 3 will be the best out of them all.

Er... I'd say that overall S1 was a lot more consistant on quality; but S2 has REALLY good entries (i.e. #35, #40, #46, and #49). So... I can't decide.

I think it's unfair to say they're less interested in immersion this season. I mean I still see people on youtube asking things like "Is it real?", and honestly, to me it does still seem very real. The only aspect of season 2 so far that I think is just a little unrealistic is the length of time between certain entries, but then those guys have had a lot of shit to deal with while making season 2, jobs, school, moving, storms, the works. Though that's just within the context of the story-telling, and doesn't include the fact that there's a link to the DVD page on the Youtube channel. And yeah, that does kinda confirm that it's a show to anyone who maybe wasn't sure, but then what else could he do. Spent money to produce the DVDs, had to make sure they got sold. Basically my point is whatever "hurt" the immersion of this season was a result of factors beyond their control. That said, I also think it's unfair to tell people to fuck themselves for disagreeing.

I have to say the hotel entries where decent, they at the time where somewhat suspenseful. But also Jay acted like a complete idiot, when he extended his stay there.
Come on, even if there are answers at the hotel, you are being followed by an insane masked freak, you stay away from places he supposedly dropped you of at.

I honestly like Season 2 better. I do love the feeling of extreme isolation and the creepiness of first season, but I really enjoy some of the action, suspense, and mystery of the second. I mean, both seasons have all of those qualities, I just feel like Season 2 has a stronger feeling of those specific ones I mentioned for it, if that makes any sense.

My personal overall favorites from S2 are: #29, #33, #35, #37, #45, #47, and #49. There are others worth mentioning, but they are only interesting/suspenseful at specific parts (#40, #41, #43, #46, #50).

Season 1 is still awesome though.

Very well said, redherring! I love your response. Not sure if it could be said any better than that.

I loved season 1 for its scare factor... season 2 has a great plot line. Therefore, I choose both.

I have to say that Season 2's TotheArk responses are undoubtedly creepier, and fantastically more puzzling

but I miss Jay going into abandoned houses and hearing Masky cough as he walks in. That is undeniably scarier than the patented OPERATOR POW of Season 2.
