The following, though speculative, seem somewhat accurate.

I think what makes Alex look strange is not so much the face-fuzz as the lack of glasses. If he had his specs on and he wasn't all puffy-eyed and bruised he'd look pretty stylin'. Though it does raise the odd proposition that someone who is clearly deranged and under the single-minded influence of a supernatural torture-killing machine still has the notion to experiment with a new look

Also I've more or less always been in the "Hoodie is Brian" camp, though I would love it if it turned out to be minor Series 1 cast member Sarah. Or Amy. Amy would be very out of left-field, and we never did resolve what happened to her (even Jay's apparently stopped giving a shit)

I'm getting more and more jittery as the End Of Days approaches; I'm perpetually terrified that they won't be able to create a climax that can match the build-up. It feels like nothing short of burning down what's left of the abandoned hospital can do justice to this motherfucker, and that's somewhat impractical on Marble Hornets' budget

If you pause at 1:26, you can see a face in there... Who could it be? From haircut, it might be Brian, but I'm not sure...

There's the face, for what it's worth. I can't place it either, but Brian remains the likely suspect

I'm guessing it's either Brian or Seth.

At first, I thought this entry was just more filler. Then I noticed something...

Alex is not at all surprised to see Hoody's face. They even called this out to us with the "wipe that stupid grin" comment.

Alex knows who Hoodie is. How long has he known?

Further, Alex didn't really do anything threatening. He broke Tim's leg, and was clearly willing to do worse. He tried to shoot Jay and Jessica. He bludgeoned a random hiker to death. He's clearly not one to avoid violence.

So why, when clearly Hoodie had information Alex desperately wanted, didn't he do anything violent?

Hoodie said that Alex is afraid. Of what, exactly? The tunnels? Or does Hoodie have something looking out for him, too?

Alex may have known who TTA (if Hoodie is TTA, and it seems likely he's at least part of it) is from the beginning. If so, then there must be something (whatever he's afraid of) keeping him from acting directly against Hoodie. This whole thing with Jay and Tim may have been a proxy war (forgive the pun) between Alex and Hoodie.

Also, the "We are trapped" line reminded me of "You will lead us to the ark." Maybe Jay and Tim will lead both Hoody and Alex to the Ark (whatever/wherever that is), and to some final confrontation.

Troy is killing me here. All this talk of a final confrontation is driving me nuts.

First of all, AHH.
Second: Hoody sitting down on his bed and drinking water is a huge thing for me in terms of establishing him as human. The interaction between him and Alex is great too...

As for speculation.
