I also hope, but I think(as I earlier said) the "?" is a submarine, because, as said in the "GG", it has a SONAR. It also may be the cause of the Baudlaires' shipwreck.

No. Handler has specified that "Mr.Snicket will be working on other cases for now." By the way, the series ends on a positive note because it is suggested that Lemony fulfilled Béatrice's demands at the cocktail party by giving her his autobiography. So, Lemony may be depressive, but he won't suicide. I had always thought that he would commit suicide once his work on the Baudelaires completed, but the end of The End shows that their story has learnt him how to resist.

Ok, this is just something little that I noticed.
In TPP, there is a family that is searching for a doily that ismentioned several times. This is related to TEE, and the Very Fancy Doilies. This is where it's interesting, the box of very fancy doilies can be found in the arboretum of TE as a "cardboard box, soaked through from the storm, that was full of something white and lacy." (pg 203)
Also in the arboretum there is a shiny green mask that could go with a dragonfly outfit, relating to TBL.

I don't think he is related to them. He just knew them from their stay on the island when they were the Facilitators. They were chased away due to a mutiny and that made Ishmael decide to persuade the islanders to lead a simple life, whereby everyone would eat and dress the same and obey his rules.

But, what about the Great Unknown? What do you think about it?

It is merely a symbolic thingy. The details of what is happening to the Quagmires are unknown. It was a symbol in TGG when the Bauds and Fiona could not imagine the unimaginable horrors that Widdershins wished to protect them from. The fates of the corrupt judges and most of the characters who were in the Hotel Denouement are also unknown.

By best guess towards the Great Unkown in the water at the end of THe End is that its hinting their may be conclusion to its actual existence and being, as well as conclusion to some if not all our remaining mysteries in the final little side on book, Horseradish. I hope that's what it means, because if Horseradish is just another LSUA or BL, I'll be quite pisse.

Do you ever find out what really happened to Justice Strauss and the woman with hair but no beard and her counterpart? I mean, he could have explored it a bit more, and who WERE they anyway?
Also what happened to the Snicket File?
As for the Great Unknown, I think was a symbol of terrible things they couldn't imagine. It was used to represent Widdershin's words, I think. I have a feeling the Quags have *shudders* died, along with Hector. Which is a shame because I really liked them and they were really helpful to the Baudelaires.

I really think the "?" is evil, but the Quagmires must be alive! The Baudlaires have saved them, and it wouldn't be fair for LS to "kill" them! |

I don't think the unknown is evil. I think it represents the unknown in general which would make it both good and bad. I don't think he Quagmires are dead. Kit didn't see any of them die and Quigley survived falling from the sled. They were probably carried away to their own special island.

Ooooh ! It makes me think of a smart JKR quotation !
"It's the unknown which scares us when you face corpses and darkness. Nothing else."
Well, nevermind. I think it was a kind of gigantic animal created by VFD to control seas, but wich became out of control itself. So, it's not evil if you look at it, it's just an animal without judgement. But it seems more to be a metaphore... These innocent people eaten by the deepness of unknown mysteries...
