I don't know, I'm pretty sure they've said that's actually incredibly important to the series overall.

That's awesome then the big questions from S1 for me are that, Alex's blood in #14 and the teleporting doors stuff

TO hasn't really caused physical harm to anyone directly that we know of. I do somewhat agree maybe OOG the rule of creepy will come into play. I'll just assume Alex did it to himself (for some reason) then forgot, unless they do address that entry directly.

I prefer it when people are honest with their own theories, rather than trying to portray some far-reaching scenario as MAKIN PERFECT SENS GAIZ.

See, while I can't speak for the whole forum, my issue isn't with the concept that they may have scrapped ideas from Season 1 or that there may be things that won't ever be explained because they were connected to said scrapped ideas. I only have a problem (and this isn't directed at anyone here in particular right now) when people claim that because they haven't been addressed in a while, they are "no longer canon" and shouldn't be speculated on or incorporated into theories. They still happened in the MH canon. We may never find out why, but they haven't suddenly vanished from history.

So yeah, I agree with you that a lot of things could be from scrapped ideas and/or may never be explained, bloody face and bullet casing among them. That said...

We all saw that the static hole from near the Tower came back out of nowhere years after the fact. The idea that they may still bring back early ideas that haven't been touched on in some time, or that they may incorporate something into a plot point different than its original intention, is clearly not unreasonable.

There may be some plot points they've actually planned since near the beginning yet to fully pay off (though I doubt it since they said they basically made up S1 as they went along.) There may be some plot points they scrapped that they later decide to bring back. There may be some things that become plot points or Chekov's Guns or whatever that were originally intended for something different or weren't supposed to be significant at all. For instance, something like the bloody face (which was probably originally meant to be TO's doing because I don't think they had planned Alex to be evil that early in the series) might be rewritten into the plot and explained.

Basically what I'm saying is, a little speculation can't hurt, and after the static hole thing, I'd say everything from S1 is fair game to revisit or explain at some point, even if they hadn't planned it that way from the start.

In any case, I care more about them explaining Return. They'd freaking better explain that. And if they never explain it differently or contradict it, my personal headcanon will be that the blood is from Alex's first kill.

Bullet Casing: Are we forgetting that Alex DOES have a gun? He probably kept it around after "test shooting it" or something and forgot to throw it away, or was going to keep it around just for fun as a souvenir. Kinda makes me wonder though, how long did he have that gun? Did he always have it for saftey or possibly after the MH filming?

Crumpled up paper: I don't think they would work on the Operator. He would either "glide" or teleport around them if he wanted to sneak up on Alex. And the paper is just him going a bit crazy. I'm guessing the Operator affects different people in different ways. We never saw Jay drawing that ravenously.

Sleeping in the Closet: I can actually agree with that one. If you sleep in a closet, The Operator can't really sneak up on you or anything, especially if you keep the closet locked. I suppose the Operator would turn you agoraphobic with wide open spaces really fast. My closet is big though dangit!

The Blood: I personally think it's Alex's own blood. He cough's it up in his sleep, and it gets on his face. Wiping up in his sleep and probably stroking his hair too, thus appearing on his face like that.

As for Return, yeah, that really needs some answers.

[TheJoker]

Except when he woke up he wasn't bloody, and the text indicates he left the room for several hours during which nothing happened on camera (hence why this part isn't shown in the entry) and returned with his face bloody much later in the tape.

@sonicN20

that would make sense with the TTA video that held the message, "there was more"

[The Condor]

Wait, in Entry 52, Jay practically hugged TO and he only suffered 7month memory loss.

So why is he currently having heavier symptoms?
