Not impressed by Ep 4's ending [SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY]
Seriously, there was no support to the idea that Jefferson was involved. There weren't any hints or any sort of real connection between Jefferson and the photos in the bunker even though the ending pretty much just says he's at least heavily involved. There's also no real motive for him to be involved at all. The photos could never be published so it isn't like he found the "perfect" series or something. They would simply exist for some perverse pleasure, like how the game showed Nathan's interest in the subject. It makes sense for Nathan but Jefferson had no supporting backstory. It just seems like it was put in there without much thought.

I'm disappointed because the rest of the episode was great and kept me hooked all the way through. Episode 3 had an amazing twist ending that made sense because you just changed a major event in Chloe's life so it would make sense that it would have a major effect on Chloe's life.

If Jefferson were replaced by Nathan in that ending I would have been way more satisfied. Chloe getting shot in the head was enough of a twist, they didn't need to haphazardly throw in yet another one. I don't know how Episode 5 is going to be but I don't have hopes for them being subtle about Jefferson's involvement. I half expect one of those bad guy speeches about why he's involved and just a story dump for the first part of the episode.

I didn't like Episode 4, but for different reasons. Some things did surprise me; I thought Rachel was a fellow time wizard, and that she would be found. On the other hand, I had thought Mr. Jefferson could have been involved with all the tomfoolery afoot, since he does just decide to teach at this little school instead of going off and being famous in the art world and whatnot. Would seem like great cover for him.

Personally, the ending of Episode 2 is still the best for me, followed closely by 3. I assume Episode 5 will tie together loose strands. I hope so, anyway.

In the first episode you can see Jefferson's artwork on school campus and it has very eerie style, that matches with the photos found in the dark room. So he was planned to be "main villain" from the get go

There are more and more people who don`t like episode 4 coming, I`m just glad that it`s not my problem and episode isn`t really good.

I feel the same. Guess just letting Nathan be the bad guy would have been too ''boring'' or ''obvious''. Besides it isn't even a total surprise. David hinted at Jefferson beeing suspicious several times. I usually like foreshadowing but this just seemed really forced.

The way he always defended Nathan and said he's probably "upset" over the kate situation in episode 2 and 4 made me think they had some connection beyond schoolgrounds. Also, the cases for camera equipment from Mr. Jefferson's classroom are the same ones in the bunker. The layout in the bunker is very professional as well.

There IS connection between what Jefferson does in the dark room and what we know about him. This theory (posted in February!!!!) explains it all: http://steamcommunity.com/app/319630/discussions/0/612823460261420720/?tscn=1438102576#p1

He was n1 suspect for many people here since almost the begining. It wasn't a surprise when he kill Chloe in the end.

And there's a motive for him to be "involved" with that. It's called mental illness. The guy's a psycho

It being a professional looking setup isn't really a good clue though. Nathan has a rich family and can afford to buy the equipment. The artwork by Jefferson was a decent clue but the style wasn't similar enough for me to catch, though obviously others did. His excusing Nathan doesn't really seem suspicious to me because I'd assumed he had no idea what was going on and didn't want to make judgments.

Not impressed? You should be a Man On Fire and make Warren's little show with Nathan a preschool affair.

Also, I remembered that since Nathan was shown to be in the photos in the bunker, and since Max can look at the tripod and wonder who was taking the pictures, I felt that this was a big hint that someone else was involved. I had also hoped it would just be Nathan and his father doing these things, and that they both know about the storm somehow. But then, when Mr. Jefferson entered the party near the end, it felt like... ♥♥♥♥. Hoping for a great ending.

Oh, we got to stage 2: Anger. Let it all out people, it helps with the processing.

Everything with Nathan seems to be forced, okay, dark room for photos blah blah but why would they take take pics of Rachel+Nathan both heavily dosed and lying in the junkyard. Bunker creator(Nathan`s father disrespects him so much?).
+ de faq is Nathan`s note with "RACHEL IN THE DARK ROOM", she is dead buried in the junkyard.
++ nice place to bury her, clear stop, they didn`t even out any scrap on it to cover it, too stupid for Jefferson

In many mysteries the main killer is usually one that most people don't expect it.

Not anger, it`s sadness and not because I need to wait 2 more months or Chloe` death, it`s because of story in general.
