i really hope jay doesn't just get a tip on where to go next from hoody or something. that's now how entertaining plots progress, it's lazy writing imo. the reason this tunnel worked was because it tied into the past entry

if jay gets another tape at his door or breaks into tim's house and finds something leading him to the next area or something, i'll be dissapointed.

they should really have tim or hoody tell jay everything already and build upon that for the rest of the season. if they team jay up with them too late the desire for it to happen will not be as strong. now is a peak time to give jay a really big answer to one of the questions he's been wondering about for a long time. they can't leave too much unanswered at the end or when people reflect on the series they'll be let down. and if they pull a lost and reveal all the mysteries at once then they'll really get bad feedback

hopefully they're planning on making season 3 longer than 1 and 2 because so far i'd rate season 3 lower than both in terms of plot, but the dialogue has gotten better. i really liked entry 54 because it built up a comedic atmosphere only to end in horror. but they have overstayed their welcome at the hospital, and i really hope tim's health issues are figured out and over with soon because it's not really an entertaining subplot imo.

that being said i still enjoy each entry and shit myself when i see a new MH video on youtube, just wish they would advance the plot a little faster than they are. i guess timelier entries wouldn't leave me feeling this way, or if they ended this "hunt for clues" jay is on and just have tim and hoody be direct with him since we're close to the endgame

It's a feeble possibility, but Hoody could've left some other clues in the folder as well.

Whatever they do, I hope they focus more on the operator appearances than anything else.

In the last entry plenty of people were complaining that the first time we see him he's really blurry and his positioning is weird, and when he pops up behind jay his face looks off and all this other stuff

since it's the reason 90% of people are watching the series, i just hope they take his appearances with more caution and planning than they did in season 2, although Entry 43 nailed it and so did entry 40.

I'm sure it's hard to animate him in a way that makes him creepy, but they had no problem doing that in season 1. i wouldn't mind waiting 3 weeks for an entry if the operator appearances were rock solid (and didn't end the entry with him appearing)

Part of me thinks that he can't be animated without it looking dumb, but we have to see some kind of full body movement to know that he is capeable of it. we haven't seen that since entry 40. it's just kind of cheap to make your villain teleport everywhere because the more he does it, the less scared i am of him being out of frame because i know the second jay turns around he'll be there. lets see an entry where jay is trapped somewhere, like outside of his car, as the operator slowly walks towards him, but don't do the typical thing where jay starts running and only turns around every few seconds, lets get that fucker on camera for a solid 10 seconds without being completely still. i'm sure they've heard this a million times but i can't stress it enough how we need to see more of the operator actually giving chase to the characters rather than being cheap and teleporting behind them when they're not looking. he's an eldrich monster but he needs to have some kind of human qualities since he has a human like body. taking those away takes away part of the reason people feared him in the first place



my main beef with season 3 is that it feels like the main focus is on tim's past rather than the operator in the present. something tells me that's going to change soon though so i got my fingers crossed.

god i can totally see any of the trio reading these posts and just going "Fuck you man we're doing the best we can" - if you guys are reading this i promote this series like it's my job and i get just as giddy as any other fan out there.

The Operator's appearance has never been all that static. Arm length varies, face has been completely blank in some appearances while in other appearances parts of his face are dented where his eye sockets would be, etc. I've always kinda thought that the tall, disproportionate, and faceless humanoid with the fluctuating build isn't the Operator's true form, merely the one the entity takes when dealing with people, maybe the closest it's capable of coming to mimicking the human form.
Point is I'm not convinced that inconsistencies in its appearance aren't deliberate.

That timeline on the wiki makes it a lot easier to make sense of the summer of 2006, that's for sure, though I question its assignment of entries 54 and 55 so close to entry 56 when in 56 Tim says it's been a long time since he told Alex about the building and in 54 and 55, Alex wasn't his paranoid "Aware I'm being stalked by the Operator" self.

Well, Alex has a gun, The Operator just kind of photobombs.
