The thing in the top left looks like a star. I think as a whole, the TV might be displaying a video on a web page, with the white part of the screen being the webpage and the greenish/yellow part being the actual video.

The "image" in the upper left of the screen seems to be a face, but it's really hard to tell. It doesn't move the whole time.

I think it was jay watching footage of himself sleeping. Hence why nothing really moved. The "face/hallway" could be the door to a hotel room.

So Jay has slender-sickness? That could mean Oppy is seriously close by.

No wonder he feels paranoid. It could be he DID see Alex already, and has been Slendy-wiped, with just a shred of a nightmare-memory. (We know Alex is looking for him, but not WHY-if he wanted to kill him, he probably could have done that at the tunnel).

And there was distortion, just before Tim's call... the picture sharpness degraded, and it blurs in and out for no good reason, it seems.

Also, his behavior is eerily similar to Alex's in the early videos... he's filming himself again, and turning off the lights so he can see out the windows better.

I think this entry was fine and was worthy of making. Just because it could've been a tweet, doesn't mean they can't document this big move they are about to make. It'd be kinda lame if there was a tweet that said, "Tim and I decided we're leaving this town. It's too dangerous here now."

Here is the reflection I mentioned earlier. I'm less believing than I was when I first saw it but I really don't know. Also it's hard to get a good still of it, but to clarify it is in the reflection, not inside the car. There is very minor distortion when he dumps his bag, but it could be natural camera noise. Thought I'd at least upload it.

I see what you mean. It looks like it could be the OP standing behind Jay in the reflection. But I'm inclined to think it is just something else due to clarity.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It would have been a pretty chilling effect to pull for real though.


Edit: Rewatching the video and looking for the shape, it really only appears for like maybe a frame. It seems like it was just a reflection or shadow that looks about right. It could also be one of those satellite dish looking things behind Jay being reflected (which seems unlikely too due to the fact the shape is visible for about a frame). I definitely think it isn't the OP.

That looks really close to his car, if TO was there I think we would've seen Jay walk past him. I'd have to rewatch the video to be sure though

My god... If they wanted us to see anything on the TV they would have made it more visable. If they wanted us to see the operator standing behind Jay, they'd do enough takes where we wouldn't have to second guess it and it would be clear.

There is nothing on the TV, and there is no operator behind Jay. Stop trying to tell yourself there's something there.

Then again, they didn't make it clear that Tim and Jay were being watched when they were fighting in Entry #59 , and everyone said the same thing. We'll know for sure if there was anything hidden in the entry in the next ToTheArk video, if there is one (though you're probably right it's most likely nothing).

Actually, I would say the tv and the knocking were important. Jay seemed to be.. how do I put this? Frowning more and more intensely as he watched the TV. I think the TV is important, though I don't think they intended to make it obvious what it was. Probably one of those things we go back to and say "Ohhhh that is what was probably on the TV"

Important things about this entry which would not all have worked well as tweets.

- Troy Jay moves out
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
(And Joseph Alex has a hissy fit. Tim comes to save the day.)



-Jay is probably experiencing slender sickness.

-There is knocking on his door, twice (once when he came out of the bathroom and turned the lights off, and once while he was on the phone)

-Jay is becoming increasingly paranoid (He is recording his empty room while he pees[and uploading it to youtube...]) and he made sure Tim had a chest cam.

-Jay MAY be up to weird things, judging by that knock and how the camera was cut to a wall.

-Whatever was on the television, (whether more of the tape, or his own surveillance, or a bad motel porno), was disturbing him. (I think it had something to do with Alex, which convinced him Alex was still after him.)

-Jay is being more cautious. Which is a little more genre smart. Which we have all been waiting for. Hopefully it continues.

Joke:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Jay obviously likes slumber parties at motel rooms.


Those things aren't important enough for a whole full entry. And probably could have been added to the beginning of the next entry. However, I have no problem with it being a .5, because I feel it was a necessary step, and I would rather this kind of entry be posted as close to the actual events as possible. It encourages continuity and immersion. Plus, since I feel we would have had to see this anyway, what is the problem releasing it as an appetizer?

You can rationalize it all you want with jay's possible thought process and emotions, but those don't change the fact that there hasn't been a single time that someone thought something was the operator and had it be true. i've been on these boards for nearly two years now following each entry topic closely, and the only time we actually found a "hidden" thing was hoody in entry 42. other than that every other instance was debunked

if they want you to see it, it'll be clearly visible


and to address the other guy about entry 59: nobody claimed to see anyone in entry 59. it doesn't apply to this argument

In the season 2 commentary they mentioned inserting a cutout into the background of Jessica's hotel room in one of the entires and that wasn't clearly visible, nor did they draw attention to it, yet they went out of there way to put it there all the same. So there you go, precedence. The show's presentation doesn't follow the strict guidelines you claim it does, so why should anyone's theory? I don't think the Operator is visible in this latest entry, but for all you or I, or anybody else knows, he very well could be. So shut up with the "Stop trying to tell yourself there's something there" bullshit already, that's the sort of thing this forum is for.

I agree with you though. There were no operators. Maybe some hoodies in the bushes. but I saw no operators in any of the reflections or distances.

In the most recent image posted, I can see the shapes in the reflection that people are talking about, and it does sort of look like the Operator's chest and head, but it ain't clear enough for me to say I think it could be him.
