I don't see why that's so unlikely. There's really no indication other than enttry #37 that Alex encountered TO as a child. Besides, crowds (e.g. birthday parties) aren't really the Operator's MO. He tends to isolate his prey. And TTA is known to edit in shots of TO.

... The slowchase really should have been a bit faster paced. The goofy snooping segments add nothing...


Agreed, though I think it did add suspense. But the ninja-crouch in the hallway was a little unrealistic.

Tim's acting is really good, but Jay's acting is not keeping pace. In his talky segments with Tim, he seems to be acting on a range from bored to peeved. It worked earlier in the season, but it doesn't really fit the situation now.


Am I the only one who didn't think Troy's acting was bad? He seemed pretty natural and a little uncomfortable (not a contradiction, I swear), which is how I think most people would feel if someone they didn't know that well started revealing that kind of personal information. And the whole "You're not like Alex" thing was well-delivered IMO.

I notice how we've got a whole lot of big, wide pans of the field out behind the hospital, even a big gratuitous one at the end of the entry. How much y'want to bet we show up at that field again?


This.

It is ten minutes past your bed time, young man! Go brush your teeth and put your jammies on and wait in your room and someone will read you a bedTim story.

Anyway, I'm not sure if the stuff we saw in "enttry 37" was real or edited in by ToTheArk, but why else would Alex's childhood matter if they're now bringing up Tim's childhood? Brian may have been Tim and Alex's "mutual friend," but that doesn't explain a whole lot about Hoody, if Hoody is Brian's actions.

 		We don't even know that Pravado was criticizing the entry. And even if he was, who cares? If he didn't like it he didn't like it.

 		Alright!
New entry! Very Happy


Yeah, Tim should've tackled Hoody right as he was walking past the doorway.
Or at least used that metal pipe to break HIS leg, like what Alex did to Tim.

I thought it was to show that TTA had to have a close connection to Alex in order to get the tape. It would be a threat to Alex if he were watching because it's showing how close TTA can get to him. It also matches the "today is your last birthday" thing. It's kind of like how TTA posted "Return" to show that he knew where Jay was/possibly had control over him, but then the whole "zombie Jay sleepwalking" thing wasn't really used again. But we don't really know much about why TTA does what s/t/he(y) does yet.

 		Alright, I think the entry was pretty good, but I just feel really...underwhelmed. 2 damn months for nothing. No reveals, no appearances by anybody new or who we haven't seen in a while, no Hoody-unmasking... We could already guess that Tim was a patient and he's been seeing the Operator since he was a child for a long time. It just feels like we waited so long to get absolute shit out of this entry. I really hope that Troy and Tim got some footage pre-recorded, otherwise, we can expect Entry #67 in April.

I know Tim has an ABYSMAL record when it comes to surprise attacks, but he had Jay on his side.

First time he got his leg busted up.
Second time he and hoody ambushed alex in the woods(?). But they got scared off.
Third time he saved Jay and Jessica, I wouldn't call that a terrible track record.

But yeah wtf why didn't they just beat the shit out of hoodie in the room. Could of been a chance to prove if hoodie can just portal out of places (i.e. room) when he wants too.


Forgetting his debut seizure and jumping Jay at the hotel after Jay opened the safe.

Maybe #37 wasn't supposed to be about Alex's childhood, but his birthday. Wasn't that when Alex (and Jay) was dragged back in? Maybe TTA was simply making a point to Alex that he wasn't out of this yet ("Happy birthday, have some Operator!"), like he has threatened to make the next one his last birthday.

 		I want to believe this: if Alex started seeing the operator shortly after meeting Tim, then Brian had to have been stalked for a while before that. Also, the Operator can't kill Jay, or he would have already. It makes me think the Operator really can't do much to him besides wiping his memory since we haven't seen footage of Jay doing something sinister while under the slender influence.

Ooh. Calling it. The footage on the tape is incriminating against Jay. He did something under the slender-influence that hoody wants to reveal. Totheark really mainly focuses on Jay it seems. He follows Jay around during the location scouting part of shooting the MH movie, and 3 years later he follows him around from location to location (even still does so). Jay is more significant than anyone else, to a person who knows the ups and downs to the slender universe it seems.

 		We must not be done with Brian then.Since Tim said he had met him in collage.I wonder if Brian was stalked as a child by TO as well.

Remember that a big conceit of the series is that distortion is actually distortion, rather than Jay screwing around in Vegas. I don't think they'd want to break that rule too severely with TTA, even if TTA does perform some editing of his own.

tta is known to create his own distortion in plenty of videos.
