Yes, I can see all these things as you lay them out. I'll just have to hold that thought for the moment until some other things come together. There is also to account for the screwdriver with which the Ormand character has been stabbed.
A couple other thoughts: One is that on imdb they were playing with names wile back and came up with the idea that if Sue were dreaming of being married to Billy Side, she would be dreaming of herself as "Sue Side".
But more to the point I think. On the video answers to members on dl.com, Lynch responded to a question from someone who was obviously seriously depressed and was having trouble finding reasons for going on living. DL took it very seriously and said that he was going to tell a story, an old story, I think from Hinduism, something very old anyway. That is the idea that everyone has a certain amount of time to live and that if anyone takes their own life before that time, they will enter a state where they are sort of suspended and unable to do anything or contact anyone; a sort of zone where nothing happens ... and they will stay there until the real time of their death comes about. Sounds a little like Lost Girl? It doesn't fit perfectly because then if she killed herself in the 1930s, how would her son be about 10 in 2006? We would have to imagine a son which is not in the movie. But we may be seeing her having killed herself at the foot of the stairs. None of this fits together but just an idea.
