Just a thought, but do you guys get the impression that this was the same building from Entry #13?

You know, back when we thought Timasky was the only Masky, we thought there was something special about Tim that allowed him to resist the Operator's control and escape. But pretty much the entire cast has been Operated (my own little term for it), and it's pretty clear that Tim's not the only one who put on a mask and went against Alex (count me in the "Brian = Hoodie, and possibly Sarah = Woodsy" camp).

So, I'm thinking the one who is really "special" is Jay. He's the standalone, the only one who isn't either working for the Operator or a masked crusader.

I think he's got some kind of special ability... maybe not to fight the Operator directly, at least not yet (since he seems as vulnerable as anyone), but maybe he can unlock some sort of ability? Perhaps JAY is the Ark, and the Maskies/TTA are trying to build him up into their weapon against Alex and/or the Operator?

And as for Alex. Yeah, he's got multiple personalities. He's evil, but he doesn't realize it for half the time (just like Jay never remembered being involved in '06). But perhaps now he's figured it out, and his hostility is meant to keep people away, so they aren't around when he turns bad?

We still don't know what the Operator actually DOES with his victims. He can't just be killing or eating them or whatever; he's already had a gazillion opportunities to gobble up the entire cast (seriously, we've seen him have nearly every regular character completely at his mercy at least once), but Jay and Tim at least are still around, and Brian and Sarah probably are too. Sure the Operator "removed" Bruce, but Bruce was already dead, at the hands of a human. When the victims are alive, for some reason the Operator just messes with their heads a bit and lets them go.

Is the Big Twist going to be that the Operator isn't so bad after all, and Alex's Dark Half is the real baddie?


And now, for Sylocat's Random Thoughts:

1. The "Operator/Hospital" link is interesting, but am I alone in thinking that his name refers to a CAMERA Operator? It would go towards explaining his apparent link to cameras (Alex thought that burning the tapes would stop him, and he only returned to Alex's life when Amy found the camera)

2. Maybe this entry's in HD because something in YouTube's coding has changed, rather than any fault of Troy's... Notice how the video controls are black now, and the menu at the end of each video looks way different (correct me if I'm wrong, but that last part just started a couple days ago). I know I can't seem to figure out the HD-uploading tweaks on my own YouTube channel.

3. Now that we know Alex was evil sometime way back during the original filming, who wants to go through all the old entries and try and figure out when Alex was being evil and when he wasn't? Show of hands?

realize that in season 1 nothing was planned as in depth as it is now, so not everything in season 1 can be taken as canon (such as the way alex reacted to things in entry 22)

also LOL at the guy who believed masky face painted jay in return

hopefully troseph realizes that we want answers at this point and that the finale should at least tell us one big thing, like who totheark is or why jay is the only one who can help them

Guys, honestly... If the HD nature of this entry bothers you so much, just watch it in 480 mode.

I wonder if Jay watched this right after he got it. If so, it puts the post-theft tapes in a whole new light, suddenly "are we just here to tell ghost stories" becomes less "I am dubious about the significance of this adventure so long after you said you were done with me" and more "COME AT ME BRO!"

Alriiiiiight, finally.

This entry was interesting to me because it suggests there's something deeper going on with the original "Marble Hornets" movie.

I don't know about the whole "Alex brings Slendy his Slendysnacks" theory, though. Right now, thanks to Alex's emotionless creeptasticity, I'm thinking Alex is just killing his actors and crew members himself. I mean, in the early MH entries, Alex consistently runs from Slendy. It's possible he does here, too. After Slendy looms up on Brian, Brian picks up the camera, looking for Alex, who may have run off. Maybe Slendy is a manifestation of his guilt, and he's constantly trying to outrun it. Or something.

I don't know, I keep kind of wanting Slendy to be a benevolent(ish) force, mainly because I think he's adorable. I still feel like Alex is really the bad guy here, and that The Big O is a symptom, rather than a cause of his bad deeds.

Also, did anyone else think Slendy looked a little weird when he first appears in full? Like his pants weren't quite fitting right?
