To those saying that the ark question was never answered, I think it was blatantly implied that the other side of the tunnel was the ark and in order to be freed from the flood (the Operator after you) you need to get to it. That's why TTA would say lead me to death (every time someone attempted to get to the other side, they were stopped and attacked.) After getting to the other side, they are safe from the Operator and given freedom (I guess while still having symptoms from contact with him.)
At first, it seemed Alex was trying to just give victims to the Operator to be infected, so he would be spared from death, but then he starts killing people, so...
The Operator was a disease that spread from person to person and Alex was trying to kill everyone to stop the disease from spreading, hence not letting them get through the tunnel to the ark, so they would just be dead and not able to let the disease from spreading.
All of the people from TTA seem to be victims of Alex, or the Operator, or both, and were trying to get everyone safely to the ark, while still trying to stop Alex via Jay, since he had brought all of this into play with the YouTube channel.
Most questions were answered throughout the series, they were just very ambiguous and subtlety answered.

But Jay got over there twice. Once he was chasing Masky. The other time he went through on his own after seeing the tape that had purportedly shown Jessica being abducted by TO.

Damn, I guess you're right. Well, regardless the tunnel was connected to the ark in some important way.

inb4 The Operator represents addiction.

Exactly. It's like a golden rule in horror: if one of the main characters declares that everyone is safe, the only certainty is that everyone is NOT safe. Prepare for finale, incoming.

I guess my biggest gripe besides Jessica still being alive after entry 76 being completely unbelievable due to Alex's mission, is that they introduced a few things in late season 3 that they just abandoned or never elaborated on. The whole shifting around of Rosswood, Alex being able to control where he is teleported to (seen in 67 with brian's body), the significance of the college, why the operator didn't let tim see hoody's face, etc

Ultimately if this is the end, it's far from satisfying. It really boils down to "if you take these pills the operator won't bother you anymore ever again as long as someone else who is affected and not takin the pills isn't nearby. and even if you don't take the pills, the operator won't kill you anyway, you'll just lose your memory and cough up blood every once in a while. Regardless, Tim has no home and is forced to move, and Jessica is going to keep going on with her life. Entry 86 would have been a much better ending. There is no closure whatsoever for 5 years of material, the last few entries were good but still ultimately felt rushed.

Like I said before, they shouldn't have worried about getting cool shots as much as they should have worried about going into more detail about everything that they've already shown us.


All this being said, I applaud them for the series. I probably won't push it on people anymore, moreso just mention it in passing, because there's really no payoff for all those mysteries. Especially with hoody's motivations and why he was so secretive.

Yeah. I honestly think that the rumor of this being the last one is just that, a rumor. They probably put this one out real quick because it was already filmed and wanted to clear up the confusion about Tim being dead. One can only hope.

If there is another entry and it's not Tim vs The Operator in a final showdown, then I'll be really mad.

For a series that has relied upon so much detailed observation, I still find the lack of twitter post to be odd. My fingers are crossed.

I won't really change how I talk about it. I'm always extremely cautious when recommending shit anyway.

I always thought it was obvious it was just TO messing around and teleporting Jay around Rosswood, it would explain all the teleportation we've seen since way back in #23

Why did TO feel the need to do that? I don't fucking know

I'm only on pg. 12 of this but I'm starting to get the idea that Brian and Tim may have been involved in something that they drug Alex into during the original IG Marble Hornets, perhaps something to do with TTA,if that isn't either of them, and the operator. So the series we're seeing is kind of a cover up of events by Tim, after Jay got himself involved, made everything public, and went looking for Alex to whom he was lead by Masky and Hoodie, starting this whole chain of events. I need to go back through them all again to get a better idea but I don't think Tim and Masky were different personalities, I think Masky might have been a cover, so Tim never really forgot what happened but pretended to when convenient. i.e. Tim is a liar.
Meh, it's kind of a stretch but a thought nonetheless. Also hi, I'm new to the forums.

highly unlikely as tim is the only character still alive and wouldn't admit to that if he hasn't already

I'll just leave my theory here:

This entry happens right before 86.

Tim constantly showing off his pills gives that away, so that we know this entry takes place befor 86 (Tim takes all the pills in 86).

Someone edited this to fool us, in hope that we would think "everything is fine".

Say what you will, but this is my headcanon. =p
