However, I have a few spoilerish questions, so read no further if you don't want spoilers.
------seriously, spoilers to follow. Don't look any further if you haven't seen the movie. I'd specifically tell Tom, but he doesn't live here anymore-------------
-Since there was a stack of dead birds at the end, shouldn't there be an endless stack of crashed cars?
-Why were there a pile of annoying wife bodies, but the writing on the mirror apparently disappeared?
- Since there were a stack of annoying wife bodies, shouldn't there be dozens of living Melissa George's running around? And wouldn't that be totally awesome?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
-----------------------------More spoilers-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The only question that really matters is the 3rd one. That is the kind of world in which I want to live. But anyway, didn't she always toss herself into the sea at the end of each loop?
But seriously, I asked myself the same questions as you, but it hurts my head if I think about the many possibilities/outcomes for too long. But maybe there are no right/wrong explanations because it is possible that this alternate reality is just that, not really intended to make perfect chronological sense. Or at least that's what I tell myself so that my brain doesn't hurt.

She did toss herself into the sea at the end of each loop, however it wasn't the end of the loop. She always woke up on the beach, she always ran her own doorbell, she always killed the bird, and I assume she always crashed and killed her kid. Right?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep, but again, maybe the only things that looped were what took place at sea which was the only "real" alternate reality, and everything else was just time shifting/travel.
I don't know what I'm talking about, and I need a nap.

It's a good theory, but the pile of birds on the mainland refutes it.

I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.
