Well, if there were any doubts about Tim being the source this pretty much confirms it.

Hey man, the universe of Marble Hornets and The Operator is just a dark, dark place. People smashing people in the head with rocks, an entity teleporting you all sorts of places and making you cough up blood, masked people chasing you around and giving you very non-specific hints about everything that hardly make sense. I think anyone would give up on life

As for why Tim didn't jump Alex, I was wondering that the whole time myself. This is the first time Tim has ever confronted a gun wielding Alex, though, so maybe he froze up. As an HvZ player, I have on numerous times not charged someone as a zombie, just telling myself that I was going to get an even better opening while knowing that I wouldn't. In HvZ, though, the guns can only stun you for three minutes.

I love how Tim spent all this time just sitting around waiting for something to happen. It's a tribute to the fan-base.

He will find him at one of the series past locations. Hospital, school, rosswood, etc.

It's not that difficult, man.

Of course Tim knows where Alex would be waiting. (Because he's holding like 500 secrets.) He was waiting at home because he wanted the confrontation to happen on his terms. Alex changed the state of play.

I was thinking about what Alex meant by "it's all Tim's fault - he left them there." Alex sounds like he only recently found out about Tim's actions - "I thought it was me but it was your fault it happened." "It happened" was during the original filming so there must be some footage that we haven't seen but Alex has seen recently.

There were two sources of footage that we have seen, Alex's and Tim's. Alex recorded footage on at least two cameras, the one he shot most of his home footage on and the camera Seth had. Alex had the last footage that Seth shot before he was "taken" and presumably he saw all of the other footage - it didn't seem like Seth was interested in investigating anything on his own, he was just Alex's cameraman.

So, the footage must have come from Tim's camera. But Jay looked through the tapes that Tim had and he didn't post anything that looked like Tim was guilty of anything and nothing like he "left them there." So we've see all of the footage that was shot right?

Something occurred to me - what happened to the camera that Alex loaned Tim? How many tapes did Tim have the day that Alex attacked him? Tim didn't know how long Alex was planning to be at the hospital that day - he asked Alex whether he was going to do any filming and who knows how long that would take. It would make sense for him to bring several tapes. There wasn't any footage after that day, Jay would have uploaded it.

Wouldn't it make sense for Tim to switch out the tape at least one more time? He seemed determined to film himself in entry 57 and he was awake the next day. We know that cameras like that can record at least three tapes with one battery, entry 38 and the two tapes that make up entry 50 were recorded on the same charge.

What happened to Brian in entry 51? When the Operator appeared Alex disappeared and Brian was left with Alex's camera. Brian takes the camera and goes looking for Alex. He doesn't seem to have been affected at all by the Operator's presence or even to have noticed it - "Alex! Quit screwing around!" Brian then finds Tim coughing in a corner. The Operator appears and…

Alex's camera stops recording. This isn't unusual in the Operator's presence - sometimes cameras can record it, sometimes they can't. When the camera starts back up Alex is seen dragging an unconscious Brian into another room - and Tim is gone…

What happened while Alex's camera wasn't recording? Just looking at the footage that Alex's camera recorded it looks like Alex is guilty of something - after all he was the only one there after Brian was hurt. But wasn't someone there before Brian was hurt?

Alex didn't take back the camera he had loaned Tim that day - after dragging Brian into another room he immediately picks up his camera and immediately leaves. After this Tim didn't record any more footage and later said he didn't remember what happened to the camera.

So - who was left with the camera?

What footage haven't we seen?

What happened to Brian - and why does Alex say it was Tim's fault?

Alex never blamed Jay for the entire situation in general. He blamed Jay for "getting Jessica involved" ( ), and for posting the footage on YouTube, but not for the Operator coming.

I find it interesting that Alex says "I thought it was me". This implies that Alex did actually blame himself at some point, until he learned something about Tim that we don't know. So Alex still does have some capacity for guilt left in his twisted mind, and that whatever he learned about Tim makes him blame him even more than Jay.
