This was pretty tense for me, and it was good to see Jay again. I'm feeling pretty awful for him right now, considering that it wasn't a case of misdirected anger, but redirected frustration by a third party which caused his actions.

Obviously, I'm interested in the alien geography of Rosswood being mentioned. I'm going to have to go back and watch the series again to see if this could explain other weirdness, and, if so, how much weirdness.

What actually gets me the most is the voicemail. The call actually went through and connected, otherwise the voicemail wouldn't pick up. This means that the weirdness didn't happen on Jay's end of things, but on Tim's. In my noggin, this means at least one of the following things must be true:

1. Tim was subjected to weirdness while he was at his house, before Jay showed up with his potato peeler. He got the message, listened to it, deleted it, and then had his memory wiped of the event. The call went straight to voicemail for mundane reasons (his phone was off or he has poor coverage, for example).

2. The call, as mentioned earlier in the thread, hasn't actually happened yet, and Tim will get the voicemail at a later time. This supports the idea of time travel, dilation, or some similar thing happening, which could lend credence to the Hoody being future Jay idea (which I do not believe; just stating an argument).

3. The call was somehow actively intercepted and redirected to another number. This could actually be achieved with surprising ease; set up call forwarding on Tim's phone during one of his many periods of unconsciousness, with the condition being that Jay's number be the one calling. (The voicemail greeting is easily copied and recorded with any decent VOIP service combined with audio recording software). My money would be on Hoody perpetrating this.

4. Tim is lying.

I could be missing things or simply not thinking of something, but to me, one of these must be true. At least, you know, until someone convinces me otherwise.

Anyone find any evidence of Hoody following Jay in the entry? I can't see him anywhere, but I have a gut feeling that he's there.

Well, Jay did enter the house with knife drawn and restraints in his pocket. That does indicate hostile intent. Also, Tim is not in his right mind when he's Masky. In fact, his higher cognitive functions seem to go offline entirely when he enters his fugue state. Masky seems to run exclusively on the reptile brain, which is why Tim has no memories of his time in the mask.

What we see here is that the Operator wants to drive people apart. He wants his victims to be isolated ("BE ALONE"). Could that point to a possible weakness?

Am I the only one who notice a subtle difference in the Operator at the end of this entry? I dont see anyone talking about this.

He looked shorter than usual. And his face resembles Alex's.

Holy shit, this entry!

Back to that tunnel again. I'm not complaining, I'm always glad to see it again. I like how Jay mentions that Rosswood is possibly shifting around, and finding out that Jay wasn't in his right mind when confronting Tim was cool as well. Overall a good entry.

Still feels like we're never going to get answers with every new entry that's released, though. I know we will eventually, but goddamn it feels like a bit of a fantasy. Almost like the same feeling Half-Life 3 gives me.

Well that was awesome.

Poor Jay, he just got Masky'd (I have no other term for it.) I loved the subtle appearance by TO as well. He's just standing there, watching, waiting for Jay to go crazy...what a bastard.

I'm guessing since Rosswood is mainly normal it is somehow connected to TO's home dimension (or whatever) and that's why he can shift it around.

(Also, I think Jay didn't mention TO in the phone call because he genuinely thought he was hallucinating.)

Well done, Trosephim.

Next, we see Tim go Masky, and then all four of them are crazy together. (Imagine four Maskies on he edge of a cliff... )

Outstanding entry. Possible that TO did what he did to Jay here to Alex in 2006, which is what caused Alex's aggressive behaviour. Also possible he did it to Hoody to some extent, as Hoody is pretty ruthless and violent too. Very upsetting to see Jay so torn up about what happened to Jessica and that he wanted to work with Tim. The Operator seemed to stop Tim from receiving the call. Also we know where the hoody hut went, nice to know.

The above post brings up a good post-If Tim receives that voicemail later down the road the "time shifting" could be the possibilty. However, I believe it more that the Operator controls Rosswood Park and can control it's layout and geography.

Looking at it simply this story is playing out more and more that the Operator doesn't have an overall goal or plan.
A: Alex films in Rosswood park, catches TO on camera and angers TO by confronting him.
B: Alex then becomes haunted by TO, stops the movie and takes off. During that time before we see #26 (or Season 1 ending) we have to assume since he left he had not encountered the operator since. Only until his GF turns a camera back on he reappears-as if that re-triggers it.
C: During Season 1 the operator becomes aware of Jay, and subsequently attempts to rid Jay by using Tim. It fails.
D: The operator becomes more annoyed in Jay's persistent investigations and turns Alex into his servant-hence why alex keeps saying "I didn't want to do this, its your fault". It is Jay's fault in the sense he's poking around in this.

So now as Jay is missing (presumably either taken or killed by TO) with the help of Alex the last wrap up piece is Tim and possibly Hoody if indeed he's another person and not "Future Jay".

I also noticed nobody has said they have seen the operator off camera.

Predicting this now. Tim got that call....he just doesn't remember.
Subtle hint in the dialog......"I didn't get any calls that day as far as I remember". TO doesn't need another power at this point not when a memory wipe can explain it.
