I thought this was Jessica blinding him with the flashlight, giving her the opportunity to charge.

 		My main MH question is why is Alex killing people? Is it because of TO? If so, why does TO want em dead?

 		Well that was good. Nice to see a little follow up the Jessica situation.

#1. Jessica is not dead. The Operator hasn't killed anyone in Marble Hornets. At the end scene you can clearly see she's still breathing.

#2. Tim knows who Hoody is and hasn't revealed that to Jay. (This entry also kills any notions that Hoody is Jessica).

#3. The theme of Alex blaming Jay for yet another murder attempt. I'm falling more into line that Alex escaped the Operator's influence when he moved and Jay reignited the phenomenon once he started posting the videos onto Youtube. Tim was pissed at first about the Youtube channel.

Although again this episode doesn't push the plot much further it still was a good episode..

Yes, she is. We saw Alex take back the gun, so he probably shot her.

 		There's this ongoing argument in the thread about Jessica not showing signs of Slender-sickness, really it could be one of 3 things I think: 1. It's an error by the actors, totally possible, totally reasonable. 2. Slender-sickness is sketchier and inconsistent, who've has been displayed. Or 3. Jessica turned at some point. I mean Tim coughs, but Masky doesn't. Same goes for Hoody. Maybe they're immune somehow, and they passed this on to her?

I see what you mean @ 9:03-9:06 of the video but all Alex does is pick it up and look at it and walk away.

She's breathing at the end, and I would think if she was dead they would do a much better job displaying that fact with a wound or her not trying to breath.

Yeah, but we don't know that for sure. Why wouldn't they make her death clear if they wanted to show she was dead? If a lot of us have to ask the question "is she dead?", then obviously it's still up in the air.

Edit: Plus, what about the whole "shes out there" thing? People say that could be a lie from TTA, but why would he do that? Why would he make a super hard cipher to say that, and then it turns out to be a lie? Not to mention it would just be stupid from an OOG perspective.

The mere fact that her death wasn't clearly shown makes me think she will be back.

Hoody does cough as seen in a recent entry, but I've forgotten the number as of now

In entry 73 here

 		A few points, in no particular order:

While I agree with this entry taking place between #32 and #33, I disagree with the notion that Masky was there to kidnap Jay. Having watched #33 several times, it was clear to me that he deliberately waited until Jay had all the tapes and the hard drive in his bag, and had stood and grabbed his camera before Masky rushed him. He didn't want to grab Jay, he wanted to scare him out of that hotel. and it worked marvelously.

Kind of connected to the above: I think part of Hoody's plan (I still think he was the brains, and Masky the brawn) was to separate Jay and Jessica. He would've done that in any case. He wanted Jay to focus on... whatever totheark wanted Jay to do; not helping some girl who had almost nothing to do with it. She was bait for Alex. I don't believe they wanted anything bad to happen to her, but they probably only viewed her as collateral damage.

I want to know when exactly Tim knew the contents of this tape, and why TTA only started calling him out for it in Entry #73.

As for the current status of Jessica, I'd say if she isn't actually dead (which I think she is) she might as well be. Which I've expected since Entry #33.

 		The way it appears in that video, Jessica is dead. Does no one else think it's a bit ominous that Alex is seen standing over the camera picking up his gun and the next scene we see Jessica lying lifeless before the operator comes to get her?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And don't give me that "she was breathing" crap. We all know that sometimes actors can't hold their breath when they're trying to play dead. The imagery suggests that she's dead.

 		I don't agree with the idea that Hoodie was using Jessica as bait for Alex. When she woke up and was making noise Hoodie tried to make her be quiet because s/he saw Alex coming. If Hoodie was trying to get the jump on Alex, wouldn't it be more logical to hide and just let Jessica be noisy to attract Alex, and then attack? Instead, Hoodie sat with her and tried to pull her deeper into the woods away from Alex. Also, why would masky leave if they were planning to kill/maim Alex? It doesn't make sense. They were obviously trying to take Jessica somewhere.

Everyone thinks Jessica is dead because she was lying on the ground with Alex standing over her. Yet in entry 51 when Alex dragged lifeless Brian's body across the fucking floor everyone still insisted he's alive. Unfiction logic man. Rolling Eyes

 		I think maybe the idea was to use her and protect her at the same time. Lead Alex out there, move her away from him, and then sneak up on him and finish him off. But everything went catastrophically wrong.

 		But why would they need Jessica to get to Alex? They already know where Alex lives, they could just attack him in his house. Also, they knew that Alex still had that gun. Why wouldn't they try to get that away from him first? Also, when Alex did turn up Hoodie ran off. S/he acted like s/he wanted to hide from Alex, not confront him.

 		The answer to all of the above is: I don't know. Maybe we'll find out in subsequent entries. I have a feeling all we'll find out is that I'm totally wrong; it certainly wouldn't be the first time I came up with a dumb theory while groping in the dark for answers Laughing .

If this entry happened after #32, why is Jessica wearing a totally different shirt in #76? The shirts from #52 and #76 are clearly the same, so wouldn't that point towards this entry taking place after #52? In the last shot, she looks like she's wearing something different from what she was wearing when Masky carried her out of the hotel.

Continuity error? I think not. Trosephim isn't that careless.

Trying to compare shirts with this kind of footage is difficult. I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be the same outfit she was wearing in Entry #32, though, just unbuttoned. Also, even if it is a different shirt, it's possible she could've changed when Jay and her were about to leave.

Yeah, I can't believe they would let something like that slide. The whole slendersick thing is way too big of a deal for that.

Slendersickness isn't a concrete thing. It only happens sometimes, and other times it doesn't happen at all. There really aren't any known rules or conditions to when it's going to occur. With that in mind, it doesn't really matter that she wasn't coughing.

Not sure why people focus so much on slendersickness, to be honest. I always viewed it as a side thing that happens. People just cough when around the Operator sometimes.

I'm not 100% sure here, is this the first time we've seen somebody get to the other side of the tunnel?


It is, but it begs the question: What side of the tunnel did Masky and Hoody take Jessica to to start with? Did Alex lead her back into the Rosswood we know? Or onto the other side?

They walked over the rocks before entering the tunnel, and those are on the "known" side. The footage isn't very clear while she's running out to the "unknown" side, but it doesn't look like there are any rocks there.

Not replying to you guys in particular, but on the subject of "the other side of the tunnel," I have some thoughts. A lot of you seem to think that the other side of the tunnel is supposed to be something significant or scary or whatever. I think it supposed to be more of the tunnel itself that's the important thing here, not what's on the other side. Jay's been on the other side in Entry #50. It's just more forest over there. Maybe the Operator's more active over there, who knows. I just think we shouldn't get too up in arms about the other side when it's probably not that intense of an area to begin with.



How do you explain Alex's "leave, now." then? Surely the other side has to have some significance, especially given that they had a dialogue between Jay and Tim where Jay mentions being over there once and not remembering it.
