Wild ramblings and incoherent thoughts about the finale and series
in general...not particulary a theory...but:

perhaps the disappearance of the Venus statue is a visual symbol
that Coop has stopped acting with a love motivation and is now
acting out of fear (I haven't reviewed the tape to see if this
holds water).

I think the oil will get one into the lodges even when the planets
aren't aligned or perhaps the oil gets Bob out of the lodge.

Josie wasn't there because she's in the doorknob.  The log lady's
husband wasn't there because he's in the log.  Why some go to 
wood and some go to the lodge is a question I can't even begin
to theorize. 

The seemingly strange behavior of the residents is accounted for
by the flip flop of time (IMHO).  I think everytime Coop crossed
a hall, time in TP wavered or flipped or reversed or something.
The order the letters were placed under fingernails would seem
to backup the random time theory.

Based on random time, I'm kind of hoping that Pete and Audrey weren't
in the bank when it exploded.  I think the glasses belong to the 
old man.  However, this isn't logical even with a random time 
theory (why would the box be open), so chalk this one up to 
wishful thinking.  Random time theory could also account
for the unbelievable youth of the sycamore trees.

My really stupid theory on how the Douglas Firs got changed
to sycamores in the finale:  DL's son came home from Sunday
school singing the song about Zaccheus up in the sycamore
tree.  For those unfamiliar with this Bible story, Zaccheus
 was a man of small stature and some historians believe the 
actual translation (not the King James Bible translation) 
indicates Zaccheus was a dwarf or a
midget.  Jesus was passing through
town and Zaccheus couldn't see him because of his small
stature so he climbed a sycamore tree.  He was then 
noticed by Jesus and saved from eternal damnation after
making a number of promises regarding the changing of 
his evil ways.  Somehow I think ol' David would have
gotten a charge out of this story.

In the dream sequence, we saw the shadow on the curtain.  Just as
coop only sees the giant and the little man, I think the major only
sees the hooded figure and someone else.  Perhaps the shadow on the
curtain somehow portends Hawk's help and the Major's rescue of Coop.

I think the voice from Sarah Palmer is the voice of one of the
entities that only the major sees.

When Leland was possessed by Bob, he still had enough of himself
left to leave the letter clues and to tell about recognizing
that face.  Coop will also leave clues, hopefully not as obscure. 


Sorry, this is so long...but TP withdrawal seems to be happening
already.
