Oh Hello Theory Tee Hee!!

Oh hello theory tee Hee!!

In short, I think Jon didn’t exactly make it to “Somewhere else” and is sort of embodying the tapes. Or rather the tapes are binding him, all that remains of him, etc.? That to me would explain why 1) Martin doesn’t seem shocked at all by the tape recorder. Which is ODD, considering they were massively involved with Annabelle and the Web’s entire plan for the Archivist? Regardless, 2.) Martin is… Friendly with it. His tone is… Just pleasant surprise. A slightly Silly tone, like!!! If he already knows it’s Jon, he won’t be shocked at the appearance of the tapes AND he’d be friendly and sweet towards it (ha.)

That’s the more Martin side of things, onto Jon. His voice in reverse at the end is very clearly, well. Him. And it’s incredibly strange to have that happen on the tape. Would make sense if he was trying to communicate in any way he can. Lastly, the codes. As far as I know, base 64 and 32 (?) are cyphers specifically used to ensure a message gets transferred safely from one place to another. That… Would fit perfectly. Jon (either in between plains of existence or some other horrible thing) wouuuld need a protection like that trying to reach Martin, who’s presumably Somewhere Else TM!!

I feel like in order to understand Tim Stoker as a character you need to know two things about him:

- he is so full of love

- he is an older brother

I just think that if you forget these things you're forgetting some important pillars of his character

he has so much love in his heart and that's what fuels a lot of his anger in the series. he's angry because he's losing the people he loves, either by death or emotional distance, and he's so angry that he can't do anything to fix it. angry that they're all stuck. he's so sad, grieving people and friendships, and that manifests in his anger.

Danny is, of course, also essential to Tim's character. that's his baby brother. his "cool little brother". this is a man tim admires and is proud of, despite having several reasons to be envious of him. he loves him so much and what happened to Danny destroyed him irreparably. he called himself a coward because he was too afraid to move when he saw "Danny" on that stage in covent garden theatre. I don't recall him ever freezing up like that after that instance. he did everything in his power to protect the people he loved. he broke down a wall during the prentiss incident, he followed jon back into the archives when he knew something was up, he followed Martin into the tunnels when he was going to go down there alone.

his love and him being an older brother are So essential to his character, and I wish people would recognize that more and not reduce him to the flirty funnyman slacker
