 		That's a fairly disturbing picture.

 		That's clearly Tim standing over Her.

Why doesn't hoody/masky ever try and kill Alex? I mean they attacked him but in the tunnel they could have taken the gun from Jessica and shoot him

 		This was an astounding entry to me. The past few have been wonderful, and hats off to the Marble Hornets crew for making an engaging enough story to generate this number of theories.

I have a few questions about the entry, though.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Has the timeline been established adequately such that this entry appears to take place relatively soon after Tim's leg is broken? I noticed him sort of staggering as he walked, and assumed it was due to a cast or some such being removed recently.


Secondly,

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Has Tim ever deliberately removed his mask while he is acting as Masky? If not, this seems significant in some way; either this is when Tim shook off his alter ego and began seeing his doctor, or the mask removal lends credence to the recent accusations that there is no Masky, only Tim, or that he at least remembers the things he does while in his altered state.


Finally, more of an observation/question combination:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Was it significant that Jessica referred to Hoody as "him" when she says "I didn't get a good look at him?" Is this a gender confirmation (which would really only rule out Sarah, as Jessica confirmed that she remembered Amy and it seems a bit of a stretch that she wouldn't recognize her) or just a throwaway line I should chalk up to conversational English?


All told, a great entry, which I think confirms Hoody's (at least partly) altruistic motivation and reinforces Alex's nefariousness.

I wonder why Hoody and Tim carried Jessica into the woods. Aren't there many other places to take her for safety? Were they taking her to his hide-out/hoody cabin? Did they have ulterior motives?

I looked at all the distortion frame by frame, however there is nothing significant. All of the faces are simply TO or what appears to be Jessica. I will upload a couple of examples, but there wasn't much to see.


They may have just been trying to get them out of the hotel first, as they might have known Alex was on his way. Hoody spends a lot of time looking around, as if he was expecting something to happen. Or that may have just been his usual paranoia. Once they got both of them out, they might have been planning on moving Jay and Jessica to somewhere safer.

Or not. Really, it's hard to tell who's side these two are on anymore, if any, or what they were intending to do to them.

Masky's the last one near the camera before it cuts out. Unless Masky kept the tape and hid the camera, this means that Tim would have been able to watch the tape when he came to, and probably did since he seemed to know what was on it. So he might have been telling the truth when he said that he really didn't remember anything as Masky, but everything he said about Jessica or not being able to watch the tapes would be a blatant lie then.

Mr. Digsby has the forest on one side of the tunnel, but the Operator has the other.

You and me both, buddy.

Okay, possibly incoherent post ahead: I've wondered how Tim knew what was on that tape, since he said he didn't have the right equipment to watch those kind of tapes. Either he was lying about that (opening the possibility that he knew what was on the tapes he did give to Jay all along and just took an opportunity to get a free hit on Jay -dick move, Tim) or shortly after taking his mask off in this most recent Entry he saw the camera on the ground, took it, and used it to watch the tape. Of course then he was lying about not knowing about his "other side" because it would've been spelled out quite plainly for him (hey, some creep in a mask just kidnapped that poor girl. Hey who's this other guy? Oh, the girl's getting rescued. Hey her friend just pulled a gun on her! Run, girl! Wait, what the hell just happe- oh, there's the mask guy again. He's taking the mask off... holy shit, that's me!!! WTF!!!)

So, I think Tim was playing dumb, but not to extent I suspected.

And to re-iterate my last post: if Hoody is indeed the one calling the shots, he's cold, calculating bastard.

 		Phenomenal Entry. Poor Jessica. I'm going to be one of those stupid fools that hopes she's still alive. I saw her breathing when she was lying down. I'm a bit confused in regards to the timing of Jessica's kidnapping and Jay's exit from the hotel, but it's probably a simple explanation. I'm also confused why the hell Masky and Hoody even brought her to the damn woods of doom.

Also, tremendous Slender Man appearance in this when Jessica exited the tunnel. The fact the she didn't realize what she was in the presence of and assumed it to be a man in a suit makes it that much better and more dreadful. Awesome moment.

Indeed. It's really disturbing. Both the image and the implications.

 		At 9:57 as Tim is removing the mask, there's some mild distortion. It doesn't answer the question of whether Tim really enters an altered state or not, but it does suggest he's not just wearing the mask for giggles.

 		Holy nature. I think this entry may be my favorite from Season 3. Answers. Sweet answers, at last!

We can say with confidence that this entry took place after Entry #33. Anything else I have to say has probably been mentioned above, so I won't say much.

Where can Jay go from here? Next entry is the address, I'm guessing. I hope it comes soon.

Also, I now officially HATE Alex with a passion. I wanted so badly for Jessica to live, but no.

 		So I think I have a theory, now that we've seen this. From my own personal thoughts as well as following this series like a hunter, I have a feeling as to what it is/could be. And this might make some sense, but if not, bear with me.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Operator world is Purgatory. Or at least a variant of his/her's. And the Operator is a cross-dimensional creature able to do so to continue consuming and controlling to extend his life force.

The reason why I say this, is that it's starting to make a whole lot of sense as the plot progresses and more footage regarding Rosswood is revealed, as well as the possible motives of the Operator. As a fan of Marble Hornets, and as more footage was shown of the park, I kept getting a lot of vibes that Rosswood is not what it seems.

I believe that what the Operator does, is feed on the fears of the unknown. He/she stalks the victim to a point, and then, with or without the assistance of another human, transports them to "Purgatory" for him to feed on (not literally, but the fears, emotions, and other human abilities). The victim however is more than likely needed to be A: deceased, or B: unconscious or paralysed/incapacitated. In that state I would assume/feel that hey are then trapped inside their mind, and then transported over to the Operator's world for him to feed on. Their physical form either vanishes, or is taken with them to that world.

Alex quite possibly is brainwashed into the thought that if he is partnered with the Operator, that he may be given a chance to be free (probably not gonna happen). However anything is possible. Hoody and Masky are, and may be freedom fighters, aware of the Operator's intentions (either having worked for him in the past, or have been controlled by him previously as Alex is now). Tim seems to be aware of "the other guy", and through his medication I would assume that he now knows how to keep him in check. However, Hoody (presumably, from theories, either Jay, Brian, or another flagship member of the story) requires Masky to fight back alongside him. This also explains as to why in this entry they were attempting to hide Jessica, but failed. It could be that Tim became aware of the split personality, and returned back to normal life to get out so that he would not fail again. (if Hoody is infact Jay, it could explain as to why Tim and himself were separated constantly; possibly through another force to convince them to return back to their prior state as the fighters. Jay's subconscious could also be the driving force between him attempting to find answers and stop Alex/Operator from harming anyone else; bleedthrough from his Hoody persona).


Long post I know (as well as only just signing up on here, long time lurker of this forum in particular), but this is my take as to what the eventual reveal and finale will either hint at, or explain.

 		You know this begs the question....are Tim and hoody still working together, did they ever have a fallout like we thought?!

I think Alex makes sacrifices so he can get Amy back...I think she's still there to and maybe you can't take someone out without replacing them...just a thought
