Worst: Count Olaf dies of high blood pressure, Esme and Carmelita decide to be nice and they open a lovely croissant shop, the bauds get adopted by the reincarnation of Uncle Monty and everyone lives happily after. . . .

Actually that'd be one of the best in my opinion. Although Olaf dying of some ghastly 'you'll get this if you're not at all hygenic' disease seems more likely than high blood pressure.

I expect Olaf to get away. I also expect at least the Sugar Bowl and Beatrice to be explained, otherwise I'll be writing a very strongly-worded letter to Mister Snicket!
Anything with major loose ends left untied is a bad ending. Leaving clues and letting us figure a few things on our own would be fine, but just leaving things like the sugar bowl completely unexplained would cause riots.
The Baudelaires finding their parent(s) alive and living happily ever after will spoil the whole point of the books.
I'd quite like to see the Quagmires again, and find out what happened to Fiona and the Medusoid Mycellium.

The best way: we finally get some answers, whats in the sugar bowl(it better be good Handler) who was that woman who took Captin Withershines and where is he now? The Baudelaire finally meet up with the triplets, and who the heck is JS?
Woast way: We are left with too many questions then answers, the Baudelaire NEVER meet up with the Quagmire.
How I think it will end: The end will take place on the Island, ALL the noble people will be there, but they are convinced that the Bauderlairs are the villians alone with Count Olaf(they been in contact with Justice Strauss).

The last book should not explain every loose end, that would be trying to cram way too much in. Book 13 will probably be the longest of them all anyway, but they shouldn't put so much in. The explanations of the sugar bowl, Baudelaire parents and so on should be saved for some sort of sequel to TUA. Probably not The Beatrice Letters assuming they are all letters to/from Beatrice, as she is presumably long-dead before ASOUE starts and is unlikely to send/recieve mail in her gravestone. TBL comes out before The End anyway.
Possibly Good, Possibly Bad Ending: Lemony fails to complete his research of the final Baudelaire book. Chapter 12 is a rage of violence, evilness and surprise, but after Olaf and the remainder of his troupe corner the Baudelaires at the end of the chapter, we then have a chapter explaining how Snicket was unable to piece together his story somehow or was killed prior to finishing the book. Chapter 13 has all of Lemony's research into what should have happened (items, letters, etc.), and the reader has to guess at what happened.
Bad Ending: Olaf discovers that the Baudelaire parents were huge pranksters, and their 'fortune' is actually 40 dollars. He lets the Bauds go free after taking full responsibility for what happened in TVV onwards.
But the biggest question of all is: Will there be an editor's letter at the end of The End?
And possibly even bigger: Will the last book or the sequel to TUA include a reference to this forum?

Good ending: Not reading the book.
Bad ending: Reading the book.
I love to joke.

Well, in my opinion nothing could be worse than being left in the lurch...I really don't want him to leave any questions unanswered!!
Good way: Olaf has an intense moment of self realisation whereby he decides to get counselling, and does community service, and becomes good.
Bad way (if everything is explained): Violet, Klaus, or Sunny dies (especially Klaus, if they are going to make a movie. I nearly died of crying when Cedric died in GoF. I have no idea what Liam Aiken's apparent death would do to me :S). Or, if it turned out the Baudelaire's parents were actually evil, and that the kids had been fighting for the wrong side of the schism all along.
What can I say?...I'm a sucker for a happy ending. Although, having said that, it would probably be a bit silly to have a happy ending. So maybe not. Oh, I don't know *throws hands up in resignation* Whatever will be will be.

You can't be serious...
Anyway, I would despise it if Lemony Snicket were unable to finish his research, because then there would be more arguements and furious debates and I really just want the end to be solid and explained. Though Lemony would certainly do something like that.
It'd also be rather bad if the Baudelaire orphans turned evil or were arrested because of misunderstandings.

My (backed up with evidence)theory for book 13: The Bauds meet up with the Prospero in the middle of the ocean. There is a reunion with IDV, and then the Prospero is attacked by the Female Finnish Pirates. The ship is wrecked and the Bauds end up on that island(presumably with Olaf). And then something happens(no duh).
Evidence:The FFP and the island are mentioned in TBB:RE as being in the 13 book. In TUA, it devotes a large part to the Prospero and mentions that VFDers smuggled IDV unto it. In an interview Handler says that we can expect the return of a familiar reptile in the 13 book. And finaly, the note to the editor at the end of TPP is on a napkin bearing the picture of what looks like the Prospero.

I think the Viper may not be as friendly to Olaf, he has tried to harm Sunny and he/she know's it, therefore some form of revenge may be taken. I think the fact that Unc. Monty said it was harmless may be a red herring.

But then how could the viper have bitten Sunny and not hurt her?
Possibly Olaf gets killed by constriction?

The worst ending, would be if Olaf turned good, or if everyone exploded and died.

Well the IDV can obviously control itself so it can be nice to sunny and belligerent to Olaf.
I doubt an explosion.
Olaf turning good wouldn't be SO bad, but we wouldn't KNOW if he were good, he could just be pretending.
