I kind of agree. There are little bits of revelation, and it's nice to see Alex's return, but it feels like they're going in circles. Call it trolling/buzzwords/derailing/whatever, but I think they can be doing more in regards to forwarding the plot without necessarily spoon-feeding it to us.


I think they're pretty much doing that; anything more than what they have been doing would be spoon feeding.
If you are of the belief that they have an endgame that you don't know about (which I'm about 99% certain is the case), then there's really no reason to assume that any entry isn't advancing the plot. You can, of course, but you know what they say about assuming.

"You make a spectacle of everyone involved, including you and myself," or something along those lines, right? But yeah, Troy has said that they've had their endgame planned out since they started season 3, so even if it seems like they're putting out filler, they probably aren't.

 		And when the time comes that they reveal their overall plans, I will reassess my earlier statements, to see what was wrong and what was right.

Don't really see how that invalidates the filler claim. It's also perfectly possible that the things we are saying are plot development are actually going to end up going nowhere.

We all make the value judgments based on the evidence that we have at the time.

Unless, of course, you make judgments on absolutely no evidence. Which is called 'assuming.'

One way or another, there's no evidence here. Rationally, it'd be better to hold assessment until the end of the season.

It doesn't, the filler claim wasn't valid to begin with. I guess it's one of those terms where everyone's got their own definition, but I'd say filler requires intent on the part of the creator. If what they filmed wasn't intended by them to simply pass time or drag the series on, then logic would dicatate that it serves some other purpose. We'll know something was filler if, at the end, what we were shown wound up being unimportant or irrelevant, but until then, we don't know one way or the other, so to label something as filler when we have no idea how things will play out is merely an assumption.

 		Hmm like I said Alex seems to have the ability to call on the Operator at whim, which leads me to believe he's like the Operator's acolyte. He can call on his slender master to protect him because the Operator needs more victims. Now, what exactly happens to his victims is a point of contention.

But maybe the Operator went there by will... it sensed its loved one was in danger or something. Also maybe the symbol on the floor summoned it, part of my theory that has a lot of flaws but Im still attached to it Lord knows why.

I'm pretty sure that's the symbol. Definitely a circle and a single line struck through it. Not sure about him ever wiping it out though.

Maybe the symbol really does "summon" TO, or acts as some kind of porthole from Operator-land to Normal-land, which was essentially Alex saying "Hey yo, I'm in trouble Op-dawg, mind getting yo pasty white ass over here and saving a homie, man?" (That was probably what Alex said that was silenced in editing.

I hope this is the case because today I realized the symbol is useless and makes little sense

I personally don't think we're going to see anymore of the tape. I think Tim and Masky got sucked into the slendyverse and that is what screwed the tape up, not the dirt. I'm guessing that the next entry will consist of Jay questioning Tim about the tape, and possibly the gun, if that is in fact what was in Tim's pocket. Either that or TTA will make a move that sets up the next conflict.


This footage isn't from Tim's camera. This footage never went through the Slendyverse (as far as we know right now). But we DO know it didn't go through (if at all) when Tim when through.


I know, what I'm saying is that I think Masky and Tim where pulled into the slendyverse during this entry before they could kill Alex, therefore Masky's camera would have been pulled in with him. Although I admit I'm only speculating on the whole sledyverse thing based off of the auditory distortion and the short clip of Hoody with the gun in the forest. I'm beginning to think that is where people go when they vanish or, temporarily, when they teleport.


I'm confused how there's any indication whatsoever that Tim/Masky (same person btw) were pulled into the Slendyverse in this entry.

Did anyone else notice the "X" on the door by the scene of the attack? It can be seen around 4:36.



Have we seen any "X"'s apart from the "official" operator symbol of the circled "X"? If so, do we know if there was an attack with an operator sighting shortly after?

I just wonder if the Operator Symbol has more to it. For example, maybe someone like Alex marks a location with an X so that the Operator knows where to show up to do whatever it is he does with the victims. Once a victim has been taken, perhaps the X receives a circle?

I know this is about to go into some massive speculation, but maybe the X opens the door from Operator Land and the circled X closes it? Maybe they have something to do with Slenderwalking?

I just find the X's appearance near the attack interesting and something that might need to be noted to keep an eye open for in the future. The letter X has already been used a lot in the series (see a lot of TTA's video "clues" and whatnot). Just some food for thought!

Also...did Alex draw the real operator symbol with his right foot? (Look around 4:47) It's strange because after the shouting, he seems to wipe the symbol out and the camera's focus is on that right foot as he is wiping the symbol out.



I did NOT notice that, wonder if it's useful

Also on the Gun/Phone debate. Maybe he's holding the handle of it with his right hand and has the barrel resting in his left hand and the "touching the screen and pressing buttons" could just be him running his thumb along the gun and thinking something along the lines of "what's going on. why's this in my pocket" etc etc

The Operator looks up, dramatically-- "My Slendy senses are tingling!"
