Something I'm curious about is whether Tim will respect Jay's wishes, or track him down for his own good.

That might give us some insight into something else: several people have speculated that either Tim is lying about not remembering anything about his Masky state, or the two have become one whole person. I find that interesting because while I don't know about Tim's stalking abilities, Masky never seemed to have any trouble tracking Jay down at will. Which could be really good for Jay, or really bad, depending on what Tim's really up to.

If Tim remembers his masky state then that could pretty much explain Conversion

Jay is (and may have always been for all we know) an unreliable narrator.

[SilentMedusa]

True, but there's a big difference between being unreliable because his memory is all kinds of fucked up, and being unreliable because he was a straight-up liar right from the start.

Again dis-regard what I said. Anything I post tonight is just turning into incoherent rants due to anticipation. Sorry.

I think at this point in time, we can't really speculate/discuss much more without repeating things that we've said before. All there is now is an agonizing wait...

I forgot what unfiction was when I made that post

Why are people so obsessed with the 'Jay is an unreliable narrator' theory? Assuming his memory is fucked (and since everyone elses is, that is a fair assumption) he's guilty of a lie of omission and that's it.

Not saying that I wouldn't like this to happen in the future, I just don't think there's much ground to base the theory on right now.

With all the parallels between him and Alex I think Jay becoming Alex2 is more likely, but who knows. I guess the only thing to do is wait...

Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily have to mean being a dishonest one. Think about it: if you know someone who is a pathological liar, then you can't rely on them. Therefore, they are unreliable. However, if you know someone with severe memory issues, despite the fact that they try to tell you the truth, since what they believe is the truth is often incorrect due to memory error, you can't rely on their word either.

Reliability, in this case, is whether or not you can trust someone to be giving you the correct information. It's not about whether they're honest. If Jay can't remember things properly, he can't be relied on as a narrator. Even if he's trying to tell the truth.
