Alright, I think I figured it out. An elderly Operator (played by Noah) lives his life peacefully in retirement, until a hooded figure (played by a hooligan) pulls him out for one last job! Meanwhile, Tim does Tim-Things.

Surprised there was no thread up.

Birdwatcher is very different from walker. He can't move around that well, and walker can run a lot.

Could be significant. We see Walker able to avoid what could be the same thing we see here.

Mothman? Is that you?

What's up with that camera facing the security panel? It seemed hand held, but Birdwatcher passes right by it like it's not even there.

THE REAL BROADCAST 6! Very Happy

I like how Troy changed from using a relatively healthy, young protagonist to using someone more feeble. Noah is vulnerable and I'm sure we'll see more of that later on. Kinda Hitchcock-ish, in a Rear Window sort of way.

As for the clip itself I have the following main points:
1. Noah seems nervous, does he know Hoody2.0?
2. Who was phone? Seriously, how did we get that close up of Noah's face?
3. Is Noah captured now? Will he start taping himself after this encounter?

Really looking forward to 7 now.

For the camera, I have a feeling we're just watching events happening. I don't think there's a cameraman. This is a public broadcasting channel.

Also is it just me or did Mr. Birdwatcher seem like he was expecting trouble? Like he approaches the door so hesitantly and sort of seems nervous. I wonder if he's been being stalked?

If someone comes knocking on your door once, and no one is there when you look, you'd pass it off as kids being dicks. If someone comes knocking on your door twice, and still no one is there when you look, you get an uneasy feeling that something suspicious is up.

I'm not ruling out that Birdwatcher possibly wasn't aware of being stalked, considering that we know nothing about him other than being a birdwatcher. Just thought I'd point out another possibility.

...What the fuck did I just watch?

I admit, I've been holding out hope that Clear Lakes doesn't have anything to do with the Operator, and maybe it doesn't. You're not going to convince me that... thing was the Operator.

Which leads me to speculate: if this does indeed take place in Rosswood Town, maybe that place is rather like Night Vale. The place has various supernatural issues and entities, and there's no real explanation for any of it.

Enter: The Rake

Same universe as the Slenderman/TO, but not him.

Holy shit, it's the Anti-Spiral.
I hope Tim brought a drill.

Point in favour of Birdwatcher seeming nervous: it looks like he is wearing his outdoor clothes indoors. Whilst it could be that he is being thrifty about the heating or the thermostat is busted, it feels more likely to me that he's doing it out of preparedness - he can't move around very quickly and he knows that, so he wears his outdoor stuff all the time in case he needs to get outside in a hurry.

Gotta be dressed and ready, because you never know when static shadow will want to give you a hickey.

Well, looks like people still teleport. Also, did anyone else notice the notebook that birdwatcher had?

I have a theory. Maybe the birdwatcher, who might be an old man in this series had something to do with the creation of the hooded, jumpy guy in his house. Maybe he created him, or maybe it is his "fault" that he became whatever he is. Just a thought really, since TO used to start his stalking when people were young, maybe this isn't TO?
