here's my two cents


tim wasn't mind wiped, he just simply wasn't filming himself and didn't know what was happening to him. one entry jay gets out of his bed and walks away and ends up in brians house staring up at slendy for 3 hours. i think that the same kind of "sleepwalking" instance was happening with tim. perhaps this is why hoody puts jays camera back in his car

i'd also like to think that slendy can't do any harm by himself, he needs someone else to do it for him. all he can do is screw with peoples minds

Then what about entry 14? no one was there to hurt Alex, except slendy.

alex had blood on his face before slendy walked in the room. watch him carefully as he gets up to turn the light on*

and "knocking someone out" the way slendy did in 52 isn't really physical harm, at least i don't consider it to be.**

neither is slendersickness blood coughing to me. he isn't actively trying to make them cough up blood it's just a side effect

im talking full blown killing someone. if he wanted someone dead why does he need alex to bring them to him***

* After slendy goes in, you can see blood on his face as he goes to TURN THE LIGHT OFF after slendy left.

**I think people would say being violently KOed is physical harm

***you should have said that in the first place.

are you saying that the second slendy nears his bed and he wakes up and turns his lamp on, that's when slendy causes him to bleed from the head? that's way too instantaneous for my liking. we're arguing something that could just be poor production value anyway

Maybe the blood on Alex's head is what attracted the Operator in the first place.

Think about it. Maybe the Operator exclusively shows up when there's blood. Alex coughs up blood, Slendy shows up. Alex murders someone, Slendy shows up.

I know, there's a lot of times he shows up and there isn't blood, but maybe it's just one factor.

possible, but would be a huge cop out and make for a boring reveal

i'd just like that out to people (not calling you out in particular) - if something is plausible that's great, but think to yourself, would troy and joseph actually take the series in that direction? too often on here i see completely far fetched theories about things that would NEVER happen even if they make sense

I just think Alex freaked when he saw the Operator, and bumped his head really hard on something. I'm sure someone already said this though.

It'd be cool if one of Tim's tapes shows how Alex betrayed Tim like Entry 22 or Entry 52.
I think it would also make sense for Jay to show Tim the tapes he has and let him know what is happening.

Sorry if this is posted before, I've skimmed through some of the other articles.

There's a lot of talk about whether Tim knows he's Masky. I think that if it is valid that Tim doesn't know he's Masky, then also whoever is Hoody is in the same position.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Jay has repeatedly proven himself an unreliable narrator who has large gaps in his memory and evidence of missing time.


Whether TTA is Tim/Masky remains to be seen. My belief is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
that Season 1 TTA is Tim, but later he is joined by Jay, which explains the shift in style. Otherwise, why would Classified exist? "I saw it" isn't a big deal unless you're important. Jessica knows nothing at that point in the timeline, Seth is a joke and probably never returning, leaving only really Brian and Jay as contenders.


Oh, and
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Amy's probably dead. Jessica's fate remains to be seen...Though as this season is the last, I'm not holding out for complete closure

TTA existed, Tim got recruited after 15 because TTA saw danger in his future or whatever. When i said again, i ment in 2006-07 when he was in danger of slendy.


Wait. Are you basing this on the premise that TTA isn't Tim, or at least that it wasn't Tim before 15? I'm just curious, I think that's a perfectly reasonable theory, I just want to be clear.

I'm pretty sure Tim doesn't really have any memory loss. He probably remembers full well the events of the past couple of years. The "personal problem" he had a few months ago is most likely the incident that occurred in Entry 52.

Remember, Entry 52 happened just before the beginning of season 2. It took MONTHS for Jay to get through all the tapes. TiMasky is limping in Entry 33 most likely due to his scuffle with Alex.

Jay may have had his mind wiped and Jessica had hers wiped too. However, Tim showed up the day AFTER the Operator was there. So, I don't believe he got wiped. Tim even alludes to the fact that he remembers when he tells Jay the reason he's seeing a therapist is because of some "personal problems" he had a few months back. At least, that's how I'm interpreting it.

Tim is being helpful to Jay by giving him those behind the scenes tapes because he knows Jay is looking for answers and maybe he wants to help Jay come to terms with what happened so he can move on too.

By this point, Tim is settled in. He's got a job in town; a new life. That shit is behind him. He's seeing a therapist to help him through rough patches. Giving Jay the tapes he has may have been at the suggestion of his therapist as a way of letting go of the past.

In any case. I'm excited for start of the season and looking forward to next entries.

There's also Sarah. She was in the Marble Hornets fake trailer on the S2 DVD, so her return to the series is plausible.

Just had a really odd thought.

They obviously won't have all the footage from the tapes Tim mentioned shot all the way back during the original Marble Hornets movie project in 2006 or even when the first MH season was filmed. That was likely all produced much more recent.

It could happen that some anachronisms slip in, like stuff that wasn't available in 06 being in there.
However here's my thought, what if they actually work anachronisms into the plot, like Jay noticing "wait a second, that thing wasn't out in 06, how can that be on the tape" possibly hinting to some time screwing.

Just a thought though Wink

... No. OOG ahead:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This series is not going for the "anachronisms" bit. Yes, Troseph will have to film these new entries now, but I'm sure they're going to be careful to make it seem as though the material is from 2006.

"Time screwing" has never been a part of the series. At least not to the degree you are implying. The most we've gotten is "where the hell did I go for five hours?" and "why can't I remember the past seven months?"

So I went through the entry again yesterday after work, and the one thing that kind of bothered me was Tim having those tapes. I'm not saying it's impossible for him to have forgotten and then had his memory jogged by Jay showing up again, but it's rather unsettling. When all of this started, the one thing that Jay kept going back to was how insistent Alex was on burning the tapes, and Alex seemed rather meticulous in keeping all the tapes together, even the innocuous ones that were just boring raw footage. So why would he let Tim keep these? Even if Tim is the one who filmed them, it just unsettles me a little. It's possible they're just Tim running around with a camera, watching Alex slowly go homicidal, but at the same rate, why would Alex let those tapes be missed in his abrupt quest to burn all evidence that he ever had a student film called "Marble Hornets"? So Tim either somehow managed to keep the tapes when Alex is trying to burn all the others, he stole them somehow for some reason, or Alex let them keep the tapes. Which seems like the most nefarious of the options for some reason. :/
