you know, if there was a shadow, they would focus on it more if they wanted us to think it was there

even if there was, it changes nothing. we all know hoody was probably there anyway, shadow or not.

At 4:49 is the clearest sighting, in front of one of the trucks farther back there's a dark spot and what looks like a head near the top of the truck. The odd thing is that earlier in the vid at the same area the same image shows up, however as the camera pans back it's gone. It could just be an optical illusion but I just thought I would bring it up.

I think I know what spot you're seeing. It does almost look like the Operator, but I'm pretty certain that it's just the shadow of another truck and an unfortunate bit of light from the streetlight. The "shoulders" are much too high for an Operator who's not hunchbacked, his "head" is square, and he doesn't have any feet.

I really, really wish that this was an Operator sighting. My favorite parts of the first season of Marble Hornets were the background scares, where the Operator was suddenly just there. No warning, no crazy distortion, just there. "Entry #7" is a good example. They've gotten away from that kind of thing lately, but I miss it. I don't know if the story would allow a return to that kind of passivity from the Operator, but I'm still going to be searching the background.

And pravado's probably correct. I bet we'll be getting Hoody's account of the meeting before long, and just like when we saw Hoody's photo of 59, we'll have another round of everybody trying to spot him in the background of this entry.

Totheark does strike me as a 90's kid.

Something kind of new. I think you answered your own question: Rosswood is huge.

There is no particular reason to believe they're going to find anything at Brian's house or the Red Tower. They've both been pretty thoroughly explored, & it's kind of suggested that the only things that were ever there were plants.

Rosswood has the chimney, the tunnel, the Hoody Hut, the abandoned hospital, the second building, the place Alex led Jay...

Just the sheer amount of area makes it more probable that there is something to find.

But, if not Rosswood, Brian's house would definitely be my second choice.

When you say "90's kid," I can't help but think of this image. :V

I wasn't saying that they should go to the red tower or house, I was saying that those old locations make as little sense as Rosswood. As in, equally not leads.

Of course there's more to learn in Rosswood. But it's way too big to just walk around hoping to stumble upon new information. They don't have any direction. It's like trying to find one particular person in New York with no directory or phone book, only knowing that they've been seen at Times Square and the Statue of Liberty. It's impractical to expect any kind of success in a reasonable time frame. Needle in a haystack. Add to that the risk of being in that place, and it's a strange choice.

Now, if Tim has a reason in mind as to why he expects to find evidence at a particular Rosswood location, then that's different. We just haven't seen that kind of lead yet in the entries.

It may well be that Tim is being summoned to Rosswood. Remember how Jay reported feeling strange urges to go to the place, against his better judgment?
The Operator might be Operating both of them.

Linkara personifies the decade well.

Possible, but I still think it makes sense situationally. It's not like they have Hoody's address. They have to work with what they know, & what they know is that, dangerous or not, most activity centers around Rosswood.

This is possible. If either Jay or Tim is being influenced by a third party, whether it's conscious or not, then all bets are off. That changes everything. Betrayal is a definite factor in this new partnership situation. Between the slightly odd hangup Tim had about riding with Jay, and his risky choices regarding where he wants to meet and go next, it is a bit like the creators are going out of their way to keep treachery on the table.

If I had to pick right now, I'd say that the guys will remain real allies going forward, but really, I put it at about 50-50 to go the other way. Anything can happen.

I don't know. There are just a few places there where the Operator has been encountered.

-- Just inside the wood, near those gravel piles
-- The clearing with the standing chimney
-- The tunnel

They could head to one of them, and then split up to search for clues! (Jay may insist on a Scooby Snack first, though.)

Personally, I would want to avoid places where the Operator shows up, unless they can reasonably expect to find something else there. For example, they probably won't find any clues in the bushes near where Alex was Operated on.
