I'm still hoping we get some more content from the past with Alex and Seth and why Seth was the only one Alex seemed to actively search for the operator(?) with.


In that doomed basement entry was Alex searching with Seth, or did he lure him there to do to him what happened to Brian? I always thought he had concocted some story about the dried blood being there in order to have Seth come with him, and to get him dragged off by the Operator. I also thought Alex probably told Seth someone got hurt there, maybe Sarah?, so that's why Seth went. I mean, he wasn't exactly Alex's best buddy, or maybe he was, but it doesn't seem like it from that gazebo entry where he gets berated for turning off the tape. So why would he follow Alex anywhere at night, if no one from the cast is there, and it has nothing to do with Marble Hornets?

I have to wonder why Jay is so adverse to going to these places. Exactly what else is he going to do? Derp around & hope he meets Hoodie in a dark alley?

From the standpoint that Jay is an actual hero, it's strange. But this series isn't about a great hero; it's about this regular dude who falls ass-backwards into an eldritch abomination's endless war on a select few people. They're trying to make this as real-life as possible. Would you want to go looking for murderers in the dead of night? I sure as hell wouldn't.

I'm not talking about being a hero, I'm talking about simple pragmatism. Jay basically has 2 choices: Try to hide, or confront whatever is going on. He's already decided that he can't/doesn't want to do the former, so all he has left is the latter. Half-assing it by "investigating" while not actually doing anything is just stupid & not going to work.

Remember, Alex was established as not acting like himself at that point. And Seth took it so well that I would be shocked if he was just a hired hand. In fact, I'd find it less shocking if it was revealed that he'd already known about The Operator by that point.

I'd make the argument that Jay is a heroic character. The reason he wound up getting so involved in everything is because he was trying to find Alex, seemingly worried about him, and later his concern shifted to Jessica, as well as Tim. He's put himself in a lot of messed up situations for the sake of helping someone else.

 		Okay long time lurker but after seeing that I had to add my 2 cents
the overdose
After a little digging I found some interesting info

So Tim's medical said that he was taking anticonvulsants
So after I finished watching I quickly looked up what happens when overdosing on them and found this

http://accessmedicine.com/content.aspx?aid=3250015
Saying

"In overdose, often only mild symptoms even with high serum levels"

I'm no doctor but that at least sound like Tim's overdose wasn't lethal even if he did take the whole bottle.

Another interesting fact among the symptoms associate with overdosing on
Anticonvulsants is Nystagmus or non-voluntary eye movement which reminded me of the eye back in isolation

Good catch.

I was actually thinking this was the case, but never thought to actually do research.

On that note.... was isolation the only video with crazy eye movement?

Perhaps Tim has overdosed on more than one occasion. Not that probably matters all that much since overdosing doesn't seem to have any effects to worry about... unless you count them as a sort of indicator that Tim was desperate enough to overdose.

 		On the more speculative side
I do believe that Tim used to be a patient at that hospital. I also think that Tim has had contact with OT before Marbles Hornets was being filmed with Alex and the crew and that suppressed those memories. Potentially even creating masky to deal with that burden.
Between whatever happened in the hospital, the events of Alex filming MH, and Jay getting Tim involved with the investigation Tim has lived through more encounters related to TO than anyone else.
Tim potentially has the most information about the situation and TO than anyone. But I think Tim hasn't come forth in it because that would mean having to remember all this past trauma something that he tried to avoid.
The narrow escape from TO probably made Tim desperate enough finally try remembering what happened at the hospital. I think the initial visit brought some of it to the surface for him but needs to go back to learn more. I know many are reserved remembering what happened with Alex and think Tim is leading Jay into a trap but I think Tim actually has to go to the hospital to remember anything actually useful.
Yes the boss thing was a weak excuse but that's exactly what it is Tim has just gone through his worst nightmares is making an excuse to prepare himself for facing that again.
