Hoody and Tim's Pills

First of all how did Hoody know to take Tim's pills?

At the point when entry 75 was filmed the only people revealed to the audience that know Tim's medication is helpful against the operator are Tim (he was prescribed the pills so obviously he knows what function they serve), Jay (he has been told by Tim the function of the pills), and Hoody (who has been shown taking similar pills which was additionally confirmed in entry 73 when Hoody breaks into Tim's house in order to steal his medication). It has not been revealed that Brian, Seth, Sarah, Alex (I think, I am not sure if there was an entry that showed Alex taking the pills or stealing the pills from Tim), or Jessica know the purpose of the medication prescribed to Tim.

Also if Hoody is supposed to be one of the characters from the future it can't be Tim or Jay because they would have taken the stash of pills hidden behind the couch that Tim recovered in entry 75 instead of rooting around in Tim's medicine cabinet for meds.

Second this means that either there was a reveal earlier in the time line where Tim explained to the other parties of interest why he was taking the medication (this reveal has not been depicted in the any of the current entries), or Hoody may have undergone treatment similar to what Tim has already experienced due to exposure to TO. This would explain how Hoody knew to take Tim's pills because at one point in his life Hoody was prescribed the same medication likely due to a similar affliction with TO. If Hoody was also treated in the same burnt out annex as Tim it would explain how he knew about Tim's medical records. I still have no idea how Hoody got hands on Tim's medical records and I am only guessing that Hoody left Jay the folder with Tim's medical records. I admit that it is completely possible there could have been another party involved that left the records for Jay.

There have been implications that Hoody and Masky!Tim have worked together before. It's not a far stretch from that to think that they might have been on the same drugs.

Also, part of the mystery of the series is the fact that ToTheArk/Hoody seems to know so much about what's going on.

Hoody left the records for Jay. There's a TTA entry that shows him ahead of Jay in the tunnel. "You are afraid. I am not." He must have left them there, or at least that's the obvious implication.

Hoody worked together with Tim for some time. Tim was taking pills in 2006 during the original Marble Hornets shoot. Somewhere during this time, Hoody observed something that made him figure it out. Not too much of a stretch. In that one Entry (#61 I think?) he steals Tim's pills - by this time I think he already knows the pills combat the effects of TO, and that he wasn't just stealing them to fuck with Tim as it first seemed. Again, not much of a stretch in my mind.

That was entry 68 and it was Alex, not Jay.

Exactly. That was the Entry where Alex and Hoody were going into mortal combat for the fate of the world, and ultimately... NOTHING HAPPENED. I figured Thunderdome rules applied ("two men enter, one man leaves") but apparently, they just hugged it out.

Yes, exactly Entry 68. You know. The one where he escapes Alex and hides in the tunnel, with Alex in pursuit, and says "YOU ARE AFRAID. I AM NOT." The one you described, in other words.

Yes, the implication was that Hoody left the medical records, but the scene you described had nothing to do with it- we can assume it's Hoody for other reasons, including the fact that Jay saw him disappear into the building with the tunnel in it and there wasn't anywhere else for him to go.

I must be confused, I'll watch again after work and check, but I meant the one where Jay follows Hoody down into the small tunnel and finds the medical records. I thought there was a version of the footage that showed Hoody up ahead of him in the tunnel, turning his lamp off as Jay approaches? Maybe I'm mixing up two different scenes but I dunno...

Yeah, you're just mixing up scenes.

58- Jay follows Hoody through the hospital while there with Tim, and finds that he escaped into the tunnel, but cannot follow at the time because he has Tim to worry about.

60- Jay goes through the tunnel, finds the records Hoody left for him, and gets attacked by TO.

68- Hoody lures Alex into the same tunnel. There was some discussion when the entry released about whether it was Alex or Jay, but it looks pretty clearly like Alex.

After rewatching 68, I have to say you seem to be correct sir! I had originally thought it was meant to be footage of Hoody's view of 60, but looking closely made me think it was Alex jumping down at the end there. My bad!

Another post I made from another thread
It might answer your first question

Another point on the Shining parallels is that neither Jack nor Alex could escape the supernatural horror driving them insane. Jack was seriously snowed into the Overlook and had no chance of just driving away and Alex was followed by the Operator after driving who knows how many miles away to escape.

And I think that for both, after awhile, neither one of them was inclined to try to get away either. Jack destroys the snowmobiles that were the only hope of getting down the mountain and away from the hotel and Alex doesn't seem to be too inclined to run away when TO makes a surprise appearance anymore. They both seem to be actively working with the thing that's driving them insane.
MHs has kind of taken a turn to nightmare on elm st with the pills. As soon as entry 73 came out it was the first thing that popped in my head. Both MHs and nightmare on elm st use medications to ward off the main antagonist. The pills made think of something, I think hoody and masky were under TOs control in seasone one and were definitely on TOs side during seasone one. My therory is while Tim was in and out of the masky state he was prescribed the pills by his doctor. Yes he has taken meds before but those particular ones were ineffective against TO. He starts taking the pills and its built up just enough in his bloodstream to break free from TO but not enough to go in and out his masky persona. Now with probally an uped dose and higher levels in his body, he doesn't become masky and can even completely stand ground against TO.[b/]
