I saw a figure in the window throughout. Not sure if Slendy or TTA, but I think it could be either. If it is TTA, it is interesting because it shows that he is more concerned with Jay than The Operator. I think this will be followed with a TTA entry containing another angle of this fight in part


I saw that too. Throughout the whole entry, I was thinking "HOLY CRAP THAT'S SLENDY." Still, would've been difficult to drop the camera at the exact point where the window was, unless it was done in post production.


What's the timestamp? I just finished a frame dump and I'll post the pics.


I looked reallllly closely. On the house there appears to be a window and a door. The door has a shadow across it, but it's a straight line, so I doubt it's slendy. To the right of the door is a slightly different colored blob that shifts slightly, although this is likely the zoom and the play from the multiple lights (or it's a bush in the wind). Finally, the window could have something, but you'd never make it out unless we get a TTA to pinpoint it. I was hoping for a glimpse at the end (as Troy is the master of that perfect angle shot), but I didn't see anything.

Additionally, I don't think anyone needed to be there. If there is a TTA, they can achieve the same effect either way.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If TTA wants to talk to Tim, they can do it without that footage, and not having it won't prove Tim isn't a part of TTA. Personally, I think most of the TTA this season have been Hoody/Not Tim, except for Decay. It's the only one that isn't neutral/kinda peaceful. I can't wait to see how TTA will evolve without Tim. This season has been mostly like Season 1, where as Season 2 seemed to be more revenge driven.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Has anyone heard OOG if Jessica will be returning this season?

I think an important details that's gone missed is the 'blood in the hair' phrase.

We saw Alex looking bloody over his face (probably hair too) early on. It could have just been one time Tim was involved in some situation where he got bloody, or it could be an indication of a 'close encounter'.

I'm starting to question how voluntary Alex's malevolence is, and possibly if he was 'corrupted' far earlier in the story. Do we know chronologically where him being bloody after TO walked into the room and his 'you know what else runs on batteries' scene?

It's true enough that Jay hasn't done that much to solve this problem, but to be fair, there doesn't seem to much he could have done anyway. Slendy seems to be pretty much invincible, if Jay tries to attack him he gets his mind wiped. If he goes to investigate, he gets attacked in abandoned buildings or the woods. If he tries to stop, his apartment gets burned down. What's he supposed to do, really? He tried to attack TO and that accomplished nothing. He tried to help Alex, only to be manipulated by him. He tried to help Jessica, only to have her disappear.

Also, I wish Jay had stood up for himself a little more. I mean, Tim freaking broke into his apartment and kidnapped him, and he might have kidnapped Jessica too! It's not all Jay's fault, he didn't know what was gonna be on those tapes Alex gave him.

Not the best entry, but definitely one of the most interesting one in while. Obviously Tim will be involved again sometime this season I can see it happening in a few ways.

1) Simply being sucked back in due to Operator presence. Marble Hornet: The only way to escape the plot is death

2) He is not going to be able to let it go, is going to re-watch MH a few times trying to piece his life together and realize that his masked self was trying to help Jay, and that is with Jay that he is going to get answers.

3) Unlikely but my pet theory: Jay goes down the rabbit hole in the annex and we don't here from him for a while. Tim keeping an eye on the you tube account picks up a camera and investigates. Not likely but I wouldn't mind having Tim as the protagonist for an entry.

Also I like the idea of possible frustration tears. This is the first time that Jay thought he might have an ally, that he actually remembers. It has to be intensely disheartening to know he's screw things up royally again.

Also we know that Timnesia is probably but I wonder if Masky remembers being Tim and possibly the filming of Marble Hornets.

Man, this was a great entry. One of the best in a while, definitely. And do I feel a bit bad for Tim...though he's being entirely irrational.

Though that made me think: (I posted the longer version of this theory in the extraction thread, so) what if extraction was a message TO Tim, not FROM Tim, like Decay was most likely a message to Alex?

Seems like if Jay hadn't gotten involved then that scenario wouldn't have happened.


Not so sure about that. Remember, the Operator pursued Alex and his girlfriend without any interaction between Alex and Jay. And it was that incident that drove Alex to contact Jay - which he did of his own volition - which led to Alex pursuing Tim with Jay in tow, which led to Tim getting his leg broken. However you look at it, I'd say Alex is responsible for Tim's injury, and Jay is responsible for it not being a whole hell of a lot worse.

And when you recall that Tim/Masky attacked Jay for absolutely no justifiable reason, or at least no obvious reason, I'd say Jay is easily the most innocent character out of all of them.

I'm really starting to question Jay's involvement after this. I'm not saying he's the villain, but maybe there's something else to him that we -and no one else, except maybe Alex- don't know.

Cause Jay really stirred things up. What happened to Amy, Tim, Jessica and maybe Alex could've been avoided. But then why leave him the tapes in the first place?


Bingo, Alex started this by giving the tapes to Jay. I mean, come on, if he really really didn't want the tapes to be seen, he would have burned them, not handed them to a fellow film student. I think The Operator either 1) needs Jay for some reason or 2) Jay is resistant to him and/or could possibly destroy it, so The Operator is trying to get Jay first.

And I think TiMasky would have been hunting Alex down whether Jay got involved again or not (in fact I think that's part of the whole reason Alex got Jay involved again, he thought he could manipulate Jay into helping him off Tim).

Alrighty. Long time lurker first time poster blah blah blah.

My theory, that people have probably already come up with, is that after a serious encounter/attack with TO to survive the trauma their mind splits into two personalities that represent fight/flight. The fight personality is their masked version and the flight personality is their scared traumatized and regular personality. Think about it. After Seth gets fucked over in the basement of horrors (in my opinion) he becomes Hoody. After Tim has a major run in, he becomes Masky. They may not attack TO directly but I also have a theory that TO's well being is linked with Alex's well being. Alex dies, TO dies.

Anyway, that's a lot of speculation for a first-time posting faggot so I'll fuck off now.

That was impressive.
Tim is actually a bloody great actor.
When he got down from the car and I saw the way he moved, I simply thought: "J's fucked".
And yeah, I felt bad for Tim, and him calling out J like that... damm.

So, am I the only one predicting something terrible happening to Tim?
That, or the Masky persona comes back. Hard.


And I can't wait TTA's response to this!

The series keeps getting better.

I think that refers to sometime shortly after Entry #56 when Alex hits Tim over the head with the pipe/rebar.

That'd make more sense. After all, the footage of Alex in Decay isn't fresh, the footage of Tim doesn't have to be either.

Would that mean that Tim doesn't hate Jay as much as he should (dark secret?), or that Tim isn't hating Alex enough?

I'm watching it now. Who's he portraying?

Hes one of the most innocent characters(most innocent being Bruce), but he's also the most naive. He's also the weakest. He rarely stands up for himself, and when he does, his rage isn't very intimidating. I can see why he would rather back down and let Tim rant vs the possibility of getting punched again. But still, I would have tried to stop Tim from leaving, and try to talk.

Wow. I mean really. Let's take this in this way:

People marathon Marble Hornets all the time when they first find out about it. It has been known to give them brand new phobias of the dark and of the woods. People just get paranoid after watching the series, especially if their immersion is still intact.

Now imagine you watch the series and suddenly you find out that you're a character. Dear God, what Tim must be going through right now. No wonder he freaked out. Frankly I'm surprised he was as rational as he was.

Second point of interest:
A thought occurred to me a few minutes ago. Presuming Alex is still hovering out there somewhere, it wouldn't be entirely beyond the realm of possibility that he's keeping tabs on Jay (and now Tim) via the Youtube channel. After all, he mentions that he knows about it in Entry #52. That's a fairly creepy thought.
