The reason I don't think the operator can choose who/what sees it is because the camera picks it up most of the time, and it does so right after Jay claims he saw it. Why hide only to appear 30 seconds later, knowing the second time you'll be on camera anyway?


The camera seems to react to infected people's paranoia/agression. Jessica in the hotel, Alex a few times in season 2 when the operator's not around, Hoody's run in with Alex in 58... all those times the camera let off faint distortion in people's voices. It's more likely, to me at least, that the camera reacted to Jay's internal sickness taking over him, and not something in the field. This is the second time they've had Jay hallucinate on camera, and even pointed it out. Plus, we know Tim has hallucinations that let off distortion when the operator wasn't even near (65).

I just would like to know why, if the operator can find jay and tim wherever they go, and seemingly wants them dead, why he doesn't just communicate to alex where they'll be, or teleport him there, to do the deed.

We have never seen the Operator kill anyone (Arguably Brian and Seth)
my theory is that he cant and that's why he needs Alex to do his dirty work.

 		This makes me think, if time manipulation has been confirmed, then could the "Slendyverse" that appeared in #65 just be that? Like, time was just manipulated to night and then to day again?

c) "Sacrifice"

But how would the sacrifice work if the people "sacrificed" are still alive?


Maybe Alex is not so much sacrificing their lives as much as other people's sanity?
Maybe the Operator is feeding on other people in a way


Shit.

It feeds off their memory.

 		I wonder if the chest cam shows anything different than what the camera saw.

Time travel, or at least time manipulation is definitely what happened to Jay back in Season 1. And the Operator obviously can manipulate his height, likely for intimidation purposes.


I'm starting to call this "time shifting," since that what seems like is happening. This obviously isn't just gaps in memory, as we were watching it happen in "real-time" through the recording. Somehow time is being "lost," and according to TTA, "so much more than that."

But Jay was not hallucinating when he looked out the window and said "get down," we heard the static-- something was there, we just didn't catch it. When he helped Tim open the closet and put the camera on the shelf -- it was there.


We also heard the distortion/static when Jay and Tim were at the red tower, when Jay first thought he saw "someone," but Tim insisted no one was there. I suspect that was exactly the same situation as here, only they left before the Operator made its presence known.

It was indeed a joke. Although, the pages may have been a reference to the game as someone else mentioned.


The "pages" -- Alex's frantic scribbling -- date back to the first season. It's more likely that the game's use of them was inspired by the series, rather than the other way around.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
@ledzepfilm: I certainly hope so. It seems to be a Chekhov's Gun in this series.

It didn't look like the inside of the tunnel, though, so why was Bruce there? And why wasn't he decomposed by then? If we're talking time manipulation to explain the body, we're talking about more than just day-night changes.

And Zargg, I think the idea is that they referenced the game by having them find pages and then immediately encounter TO, as though the pages triggered his arrival.

 		Someone mentioned Jay taking the pills, but I really wonder if he will. He really didn't want to listen to Tim about going to the doctor. If Jay gets to Tim-level sickness without the pills...

When they were in the kitchen it almost sounded like Tim and Jay were just going down a list of questions people had about the last entry and other issues, like why would Alex attack Jay or even give him the tapes in the first place. They even spoke of TO!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"It's out there!"


As an aside, does it look like Tim disappeared during his "chat" with TO to anyone else? Or does he just hit the ground during all of that visual skipping?

 		Jay might've hallucinated, but that hardly seems the issue. TO still showed up right where Jay said he was.

Kinda creeps me out whenever Tim said that he picked and chose what Alex gave to Jay to make Alex look more like the victim. Creeps me out, because it seemed like they just picked that straight off of this forum. What if they are just picking the best speculation? Guys, you're writing this video series.

I like the idea of a bargain, but what could he possibly bargain? I dunno. Can't wait to see if what's on the chest cam is salvageable, so maybe we can hear what was said to TO! I doubt that he just walked up and did nothing.

Now we have to wait again. Sad

 		No one has mentioned this face yet at or around 12:27. Looks to be a female. I'm assuming the jumbled images around that time are when they were transported to the slendyverse. There is a male face too.

Get a screenshot! Didn't even notice, and I've watched it twice.

 		Really nice to see the return of sudden day to night, and I was kinda looking forward to Tim managing the channel for a little while until Jay showed up again.

It looks like there was tons of space to hide something in the basement though, in the ceiling behind the walls. They probably won't go back there though.

The Operator has funny hands.

 		People check the operator frames when Tim is beside him.
I saw trees at the start of his appearance

Nice discovery. I see what you're talking about. Looks more like sarah's outline than jessica's, but who knows

 		I think Jay was hallucinating when he looked out the window.
If the Operator has the ability to only reveal himself to certain people then why would he reveal himself to Jay alone and then show up normally five minutes later?
It seems a little redundant to me.
