Initial thought during the first minute: they've gotten some serious product placement deal right now. When I'm pursued by otherworldly beings, I only eat Lays® brand potato chips too.

I still think Tim not mentioning the tape is significant-- considering that Hoody has been calling him a Liar this whole time, and LIAR flashed when he held up the tape and etc. As much as I want to trust Tim, I feel like he's taking advantage of Jay's disoriented state to get to his house and get the tape before Jay sees it.

--Okay, just rewatched the entry: I'm thinking this might have more to do with Hoody than it appears. We mentioned that they/Tim (since Jay's still pretty out of it-- and not exactly in the know about some things) might be trying to lure Hoody there so he'll team up with them... I think they/Tim's trying to lure him there, not just with the prospect of a battle with Alex, but with the pills. Tim saying so blatantly that he has extra meds somewhere in his house might make Hoody want to return to the house and look for them while Jay and Tim are dealing with Alex. And maybe Tim doesn't have any extra pills in his house at all-- maybe that's what he was hiding in his bag in Entry 72. Who knows how many pills he could have in there (and yes, if they're in bottles you could probably hear them rattling around, but it would be simple enough to transfer them to Ziploc baggies or whatever).

If the point of this IS to get Hoody there, I have a feeling that Entry 75 is the HOODY REVEEEEEAL!!!! (I still think it's Brian... not a very surprising reveal, no, but it'll still be satisfying to finally see the face behind that ski mask. Timasky and Broody... hmm.)

My main thoughts about this entry...

[SilentMedusa]

Watching it again, I have a couple impressions.

First, I'm almost positive this isn't the first Tim's had to intercept Jay from doing something silly.

Second, Tim is an under-stater. A month after the events of Entry #72 he Tweeted that Jay had been "kind of out of it" ever since. That's how I would describe him in this Entry (according to Tim, this is the most coherent Jay's been since then). But Tim seems to think he's (Jay) good to go into a potentially deadly confrontation. Apparently what Tim calls "kind of out of it" the rest of us call "in need of hospitalization".

Kind of a tangent, but whatevs: I think Tim might be applying his own self-evaluation to Jay, which is a terrible idea. What self-evaluation? Well, think about it. This is a man accustomed to waking up in strange places, with varying injuries. He would've had to think very carefully about getting medical attention. Most of the time he probably opted to just 'walk it off'. He seems to be forgetting not everyone has the same endurance/coping ability he does. Which could be disastrous for Jay. Although, Tim states plainly that Jay still needs help. So why didn't he just take Jay to a doctor or hospital while he couldn't refuse, now that I think of it? Was he worried about coming up with a plausible cover story Jay wouldn't contradict later? And just a final bit, if Tim really does downplay his own problems, it must drive his doctor up the wall having figure out how much to adjust for that during his exams and evaluations.

Okay, enough of my blather .

Tim doesn't mention the gun either. That'll be a fun surprise for Jay!

[TheManPF]

Ok so you think that it would have been better if Tim basically did a whole recount of the video taking the entire entry so that people can come and complain with "it was just a summary of last entry"?

Goddamn...

Well they still might find Amy in the attic. Dead or alive.

Sort of off topic here I guess, but for example, if people are complaining about the lack of plot advancement in an entry like this, I'm not sure I see the rabidness to see hoody unmasked - simply knowing who it is wouldn't advance the plot much either, and I don't see us getting much beyond that. Hoody doesn't strike me as the sitting down and talking things through type, so I dont expect much from the reveal except thinking 'huh, OK, now That doesn't explain much.'


Add: just for the record, I do want to know who he is, and I also did enjoy this entry - I just don't see much difference in plot advancement between the two. Yeah we'll have a big mystery solved, but it won't actually change anything.
