I got the feeling Tim didn't want to go there with Alex.

Not trusting Alex would explain why he didn't turn off his camera to pee and why it would have been a priority when he could get it.

Why would Tim not trust Alex? Because the latter is being all snippy and such? :3

PS: I really am absolutely fanatic with this series and love their work, but this entries and slender-activity are losing tension very fast for growing plain and repetitive. There's just no more sense of urgency, danger nor any love for the characters anymore.

I've been lurking for a while and thought I'd post my theories on this now:

I have three major theories about the series.

First, I think the fact that Tim is living the town near Rosswood Park is important to the plotline. In the end of video #22 Alex mentions "returning home" and ends up living in the town Tim and Jay are currently in. This to me means that this is where Alex was originally from. While there isn't solid evidence of this, I posit that Tim is also originally from that town which bears a few implications. Namely, I think it means Tim and Alex knew each other before the Marble Hornets filming regardless of the claim Tim makes that they didn't. I'd go so far as arguing that the issue they're hashing on with Slendy is something that got sparked when they were a lot younger and got started up again during a chance encounter in college.

Second, the video #22 and #51 which show Alex at the very least taking his friends somewhere they got hurt and at worst deliberately setting them up were not given to Jay. He found #22 in the red tower during season 1 and steals #51 during season 2. This final video, #56 also was not given to Jay by Alex. I feel like that does imply Alex made the decision to give Jay movies that made him look like he needed help, and was chased away by something dangerous and perhaps was framed for any events Jay might remember or be reminded of. I don't think he had plans on encountering Jay and crew again, but I think this was an ace in the hole in case he needed it in the future and ultimately it almost did pay off.

Third, in video #23 where Jay does all the crazyporting and concludes he no longer wishes to find answers, he ends up in the same spot Seth disappeared from and encounters the Operator. However, he DOES return from this place in a position to at least make posts online and drive a car. I think this makes it fairly clear that whatever it is the Operator does, it is not killing people. Thus, I think Seth/Brian/Tim survive their encounters and due to the video Tim has are able to piece together what Alex did/tried to do and formed TTA as a result. I figure when Tim came to after Alex hit him with the rebar, he removed the video from the video camera perhaps intending on going to the police or something along those lines. There's also a chance both Seth and Alex had cameras down in the basement making it possible Seth's video is still in his hands as well.

This is all kind of ranty and the points somewhat minor, but I think they kind of answer a few of the bigger questions we're all probably trying to figure out in the series.

EDIT: I was thinking maybe the reason we don't see the Operator moving around as much in Season 2/3 is because Alex is doing the work for him instead of him having to pursue people himself.

seth's video is done, they don't have access to that basement room anymore

also yeah the operator doesn't have the power to kill people or he would. he just makes them dissapear and appear in new places. if the operator could kill people, alex would have just sicked him on jay and jessica in 52 instead of pulling a gun on them
