THANK you.

While people have been upset about the fact that there are very few answers being unveiled, I too am disappointed, but I get the feeling something big will soon be revealed...Well, let's hope so anyway, considering it's supposed to be ending rather soon. Like most others, I do think that Amy has a big part in Alex's behavior now that we've seen this entry. I just am yearning to know exactly what happened to her, what Alex's ultimate goal was, and, well...what roles everybody else played in all of it. Also, how fine a line is there between crazy-gonna-get-mah-gun Alex and normal Alex? How was that somewhat "Slenderified" side of him seemingly suppressed in some videos and obvious in others? How much control does Slendy have over him? How much of a choice did Alex have in the things that had happened between him and the Slends? Not complaining, just eager to have more "hard facts" (or something close) to work with.



I think someone else mentioned that Jay said they're far from close to the end, but I don't know when they might have said that. And I think that we will probably never have all the hard facts we all want and much will be left to assumption...although I hope not.

 		I don't really understand why most people seem to think that the tapes were burned solely because of Amy. Yeah, she was featured in this entry, but this was only one entry. Just one entry with a mostly unseen character isn't enough to say anything for sure about that character.

Even if they were burned because of Amy, that still leaves the question of why. What does burning tapes that involve his girlfriend do anyway? We need more information first, but just from this... I don't see why he had to burn these ones specifically, instead of leaving them with the rest of the tapes he gave Jay.

I mean, what would Jay get out of seeing footage where he talks with Amy? I don't know, it just seems really weird to me.

I feel like I'm just rambling at this point, disregard(or don't) most of what I said above this line.

 		I personally only assume that Amy is the reason Alex burned this tape because of Jay's exposition text at the end. if it weren't for that i wouldn't just jump to conclusions based on one entry. But if Jay specifically points something out in an entry we can usually assume it's because Troy wants us to take note of it and we can accept it as true...although that's not always the case of course.

Hopefully Jay can finish looking through the tape soon to see if Amy is a recurring pattern.

 		What Craig said. Jay's logic is pretty shitty, but his random conclusions, 9 times out of 10, are Troy using him as a mouthpiece.

I think it's because this tape is the only one (so far) that gives information about where Alex is moving to. Without this tape, Jay is left completely in the dark about where Alex went to in 2006, but with this tape he would realise that he only needs to speak to Tim (which he did in 2009) to find out where Alex went to.

 		Is it weird that now I'm thinking Amy is really the one pulling the strings.

 		A little. It wouldn't really make any sense.

 		I think it's Future Alex. Think about it: We've never seen Alex in "real time." The closest we have are Entries 26 and 65. In 26, it was two weeks prior to the entry, in 64, all we heard was a voice on the phone that could have been a recording or someone who sounded like Alex.

At that, does Alex even "exist" in the traditional sense of the word? We're stepping into Videodrome territory, here-- it's like, he filmed himself so much that he's suddenly Doctor Brian O'Blivion and has a tape with his answer to every possible outcome to everything and someone or something is pulling the strings and playing the correct tapes because they can see into the future and all possible outcomes at once therefore dictating the very fabric of space and time!

 		He probably burned all the tapes with Amy's name on them so nobody could track him down after he moved away.

I think the only merit of that idea is that Amy would have had good motivation to keep an eye on Alex once she knew he was up to strange things (eg she could have filmed Exit) But then she would have to either drive from Rosswood to do that, or pull some strings to get someone else to help her out.

I still can't get my head round the Amy in Rosswood connection though, unless merely it's a coincidence. It must be telling us something. I forget- is Alex originally from near Rosswood? Because that could explain everything.

Didn't we already know where Amy lived? Alex took Jay there in season 2, and then took a drive that did not seem terribly long over to Rosswood park.

Oh, yeah, it's true that we know that Amy lives in/near Rosswood, and have known that since Season 2. I think I need to explain myself a bit better! Smile The bit that's confusing me is that we now know that Amy and Alex were an item back in 2006, but that there was a huge distance between them that must have put a strain on the relationship. So either they knew each other before 2006 (ie Alex is also from near Rosswood and moved to CollegeTown just for college) or they met fairly briefly, but were head over heels in love with each other to the point where they made the long distance thing work.

Now if we're to read something deeper into the fact that Amy is from Rosswood (ie that either Alex is using/manipulation Amy or vice versa) then I have no idea how they would have gotten together in the first place. It's as if Alex thought "Now I need to get closer to where this operator thing came from. I'll go on dating sites and find some nice girl from the Rosswood area and use her as an excuse to move away." or Amy thought "Oh, this guy in CollegeTown is summoning the operator. I need to get close to him somehow and stop things before they go too far."

So I think that there are only two sensible conclusions: Either Alex is from near Rosswood and was dating Amy before he moved to CollegeTown, or they met while Alex was in CollegeTown and Amy in Rosswood, but it wasn't a coincidence that they met. Alex is probably from Rosswood, and that would raise all kinds of interesting possibilities. In Entry #22 it's hinted that Alex is from the Rosswood area ("I'm going back to my home") but I can't remember if it's confirmed beyond this.

Well they are in the last season. It's still an assumption they are close to the end. And they've never said whether or not they are close or still have a ways to go in reality.


...no they literally said that. Go back and check Troy's blog, i forget how many ago, but he said that we weren't really that close.


Oh found that sorry! Embarassed Didn't know Troy of anyone had said whether they were close to finished or far off.

Random thought. Amy knew about Marble Hornets as it was said and verified in this entry then:

1). Why was she surprised they had a camera? She knew Alex was a film student. My only thought is maybe he told her he gave the tapes to Jay, or told her got rid of his filming equipment.

2). Wouldn't Jay already know about her? So why would Alex get rid of stuff dealing with Amy since Jay would've already known who she was? My thoughts on this is maybe Alex didn't tell everyone that he had a girlfriend, or maybe they weren't actually dating at that point (probably the former).

3) If Alex was trying to hide evidence of Amy's existence from Jay by not giving him certain tapes, removing audio, etc, then there's no way he'd be dumb enough to actually send Jay a tape with her blatantly on camera and in it (UNLESS it was to draw Jay out in the open).[/i]

1). Entry #26 occurred 3 years later. Perhaps Alex had given up on his filming aspirations a while ago by then (likely very soon after moving). Then Amy found the camera, thought it was new, and so wondered when he bought it. He DOES say in the entry "we don't have a camera" so clearly he was no longer in film.

2). It's possible that Jay never knew about her. Although it seems that he was more involved with Marble Hornets than he recalls, it's possible that he still wasn't quite involved enough to know who Alex's girlfriend is. Either that, or he knew about Amy but didn't know she lived in Rosswood, and so Alex burned the tape to cover his tracks. In any case, it's likely that Jay didn't know about Amy until 2009, or had forgotten about her, since he has never mentioned knowing of her.

3). Perhaps he hid evidence of Amy to protect her. And it worked, until April 4 2010. His priorities then changed (he was now trying to find Amy), and so he sent the tape to Jay to see if he could help him.
