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. :/


so that we could have a season 3 Laughing


I missed this of Unfiction. I'm digging for a possible motive in it all, but alas, I was blinded to the fact that it is solely for our entertainment... XD

I'm thinking Jay should just link Tim to the MH channel

Because it has numerous videos of Tim running around with a mask

That would probably be the easiest way to jog his memory

Just saying

The memory loss stuff seems to very specifically remove all memories of the Operator. Outside of video tapes (and possibly drawings), once a memory wipe happens, the character forgets the time frame from when they first heard about the Operator to the present. I've got some examples:

- Jay forgets exactly 7 months - the time frame where he was working with Alex to figure out where the Operator took Amy. Jay doesn't lose any more than that. Sure, he had an extreme encounter with the Operator, but that left him only missing the parts that would make him start putting the pieces together.

- It's hard to tell how much Jessica forgot, but she at least doesn't remember when Jay called her on the phone. Her "kicked out by roommates" story might just be an approximation of what she does remember, so that doesn't give too many clues.

- Tim doesn't remember his interview with Jay, where Jay describes the Operator. Presumably, he's lost memory from that point up to the end of Season 2.

- Jay has "woken up outside" several times. This *could* be a very short-term memory wipe to forget an encounter with the Operator. Plus

- In Entry 22, Alex says he doesn't remember anything (other than what's on that tape). It's possible he means he doesn't remember anything starting from the filming of Marble Hornets.

I have a feeling that anyone with knowledge of the Operator has to have that section of their memory wiped clean by the Operator. Before a "victim" is memory wiped, they seem to act strangely. Alex was paranoid and hitting people with rocks. Tim wore a mask and chased Jay around. Jay started stalking Alex and breaking into his house.

In this entry, Jay doesn't mention the Operator to Tim, which could mean that Tim is safe from changing back to Masky.

I have a crazy theory that builds on what I wrote above, that I know isn't true, but I wanted to share. Instead of a memory wipe, the Operator is actually transporting the victim forward in time - at the point of the first encounter to the point of the "memory wipe". What's left behind during those middle days is an Operator-controlled replicant, which accounts for any unusual behavior.

I have a wierd theory that kind of adds on to what twisted pupet said earlier....

if you look at the entries chronologically, you'll see that nothing has happened to jay since entry 33. It's been about a year anything involving the operator, alex, or masky has taken place. and other than recent post entitled "extraction",(and before you say that masky particaipated in that video, remember there is no evidence that it was filmed during that time ) TTA has been silent as well.

What if whatever was going on is over? I'm beginning to think that season 3 will consist of of Jay and Tim picking up the pieces, piecing together what happened, coming to terms with it and then moving on in life.

Kind of beautiful when you think about it.....

Yeah, not scary enough though. Not for MY taste...we need a more epic confrontation with the Operator...and some answers. For instance, we know Hoody is still out and about.

I suspect we'll be seeing a TTA video soon...not before another entry but when things start ramping up in either Entry 54 or 55.

after watching 52, im still sticking to my guns about alex purposely walking into the operator at the end of 43 to have his mind wiped. they clearly showed him walking into him for a reason, and we know that walking near him like that will lead to memory loss. maybe alex wanted to forget something he did (like sacrifice amy perhaps?)

Yeah, I think we're all awaiting an epic Jay/Alex/Masky/Operator confrontation.

This is just my wild theory, but I wonder if that "never more" on the YouTube notification for the last totheark video means we won't get another one. I hope we do, because those things freak me the hell out, but it makes me wonder.

Yeah, if it's all over already... that would be sad, because we all are waiting for the awesomness that is suposedly going to happen next.

@pravado: Not only it would be kind of lame, it would mean that Jay tweeting "It's like the totheark videos are made by different people" was only a red herring...

I disaggre with the "Nothing has happened to Jay comment. What about the whole entry 37 incedent, or all the times Jay's hotel door was opened in the middle of the night. I honesly think the only reason Jay has not experianced anything recently, is because Alex thinks he's delt with Jay. Now that Jay has been more active, Alex is going to start showing up more. You can't rule out the possibility that the person who has been stalking Jay more recently is Alex.

While the whole season just being more of "lol, wut happnd?" would be a little disappointing, it would also make sense, especially given how season 2 was pretty much the same basic thing.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Though I'm fairly certain this is all going to be "recap" and "rediscovery" considering Troy confirmed two days ago that this is the last season of Marble Hornets and it wouldn't make sense for stuff to be happening now when there wouldn't be a later season to close it up.

Err, wait a second...

Can't Jay just tell Tim to watch his Youtube channel? Confused


I've been thinking the same thing. Sure, it might seem creepy to just randomly show a guy some Youtube videos of his leg being crushed, but you'd still think Jay might TRY to think of Tim as an ally. Jay is suspicious of Tim to the point of pushing Time away. Maybe gives credence to the theory someone posted earlier in the thread about Jay being more like an antagonist.

The fact that Jay's twitter and youtube get hacked, and he wakes up in a random area (I think the red tower)... though he still has the tapes.... he also mentions his door being wide open in the middle of the night... this all is only referenced on twitter and not on the show itself.
