I was surprised that Tim didn't bring up the tape that Hoody picked up and put back. They finally didn't go that route.


Not all that surprising if Hoody was calling Tim out (liar) on hiding the tape from Jay in the first place.

Tim wants to go back to the house to pick up more medication, despite Hoody's video showing us that he took the last of the medication. Maybe he has a few bottles squirreled away in the toilet tank or something, or maybe he wants to head back and grab something before Jay reviews #73 for himself.

I do have to confess a bit of disappointment with the idea that a being like TO can be combated with pills. I am glad we're at least learning new information to move the plot forward, but for me, this is kind of like that disappointing moment when I learned that the force was caused by midi-chlorians.


I can't believe no one is proposing this, but it sure seems to me like Tim must be the source of the Operator, like he's projecting it or something. He seems to have the most history with it, and it would explain why the pills could combat it. Also, it seems like whenever Tim is okay, and not all Maskied out or thinking about it, the Operator is nowhere to be found.

I do want to note, however, that it seems out of character for Jay to suddenly be all "Man, I don't want your drugs!" in this entry. I suppose it could be chalked up to him being out of sorts, but in the past he was practically begging for Tim's help.

But it makes sense. I mean Jay knows Tim needs the meds because he knows what happens to him if he doesn't. On top of that, Jay thinks he's totally fine so of course he thinks it's wasteful for Tim to give him any pills. He figures Tim needs them way more than he does.

 		Anyone who is complaining that the fact that pills can combat the Operator should also complain about bacteria being able to take out the aliens in War of the Worlds. I like the theory that anti-seizure meds work against TO's electromagnetic interference techniques.

And also, I understand everyone's pain of waiting so long only to be given such a simple entry, but this is very great from an OOG cinematic standpoint. The tension is building. I really love the camerawork with Tim, and also the moment of resolve by Jay and Tim.

Just thank the Lord we actually got more answers than questions for once! That should be enough to enjoy this entry!

But the War of the Worlds aliens are corporeal and subject to natural laws, whereas the Operator has always struck me as something from beyond our world. But it looks like I've been proven wrong. In any case, my complaint isn't so much about the pills as it is about the nature of the Operator not being what I thought it was.

 		Wow seriously guys? first page and we already devolve into spewing how bad/good the production quality was? THERE IS A SEPARATE THREAD FOR THAT Entry threads are not for discussion on production quality, here is an admin post on this very topic 6 down http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=37169&start=300

Back on topic, know what I saw this entry?: "goddamit... unfiction is arguing about who's house that was. Also who was in the attic. Was it not obvious? It was your house, and Alex is in the attic..."

Also, am I the only one who finds Alex waiting in an attic for an unknown amount of time waiting for someone to come home creepy as all hell?

Alex will have it set up Home Alone-style with all manner of wacky traps! Entry #75's gonna be hilarious! Very Happy

LMAO. I'm imagining Jay and Tim tripping over micro-machines then Alex says "you guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?"

 		What if Alex watched this entry? He's going to know that Tim and Jay are coming. Did they just screw themselves?

 		Not if they've already gone to him and are going to upload that footage soon, which is the only feasible answer I can give. If they wait a while before uploading the next they'll probably say in the video it happened that same night or whenever.

 		Here's hoping that the next entry is already shot and will be uploaded within the next few days.

Especially since they're apparently heading there now, or already have.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They've made this mistake one too many times before and it totally killed the pacing.

 		This isn't a criticism of the video (I liked it), but did anyone else feel like this was kind of a ".5" entry that accidentally got a full number? It advanced the plot, but in terms of style it felt more like the fit the theme of a ".5" entry (discussing the events of a previous entry but not actually doing anything).

I think the same can be said about the Operator.


Not sure if anyone will get this before me.

TO been mentioned a couple of time as "that Thing," if I recall correctly, but this is indeed the longest, most directly it has been talked about.

I think the most important and jarring thing about it is that they never talk ABOUT it. They've only ever really mentioned it in passing. "That Thing that follows [Alex] around," or here: "You mean...?" "Yeah."

It frankly disturbs me that there's a 9+" faceless, suited being that was pretty much the focus of the person whom the plot revolves around before he went cray-cray. It's something that is directly responsible for loss of memory, severe health issues, and (as far as the characters know) probably all the space-time clusterfucking. It's appeared many, MANY times on film, distorting the hell out of them in the process, apparently unseen by the people taping the events, themselves. It is, also apparently, responsible for at least two characters developing some kind of secondary personality.

And no one talks about it.

It's rather scary, if you ask me.

 		I was suprised to see this entry up without a tweet. I thought it was another Hoody/TTA/someone else uploading it. But I was glad it wasn't. I'm glad we got some answers but was a bit suprised when it just ended like that
