Here's basically what I said on the Thwiries and Speculations page: The theory is that the characters are under a curse thanks to the Idol. Each episode is a loop, which ends in characters dying. After each loop, a new one begins. Since the Idol kind of resembles a porcupine (the quill hairs on the back), my guess is that Flaky's Mayan ancestor did something to be cursed to haunt an artifact for eternity. Maybe he/she had a similar personality and was not able to save his/her tribe and when Flaky, a lookalike descendant, was born, the spirit of the ancestor saw Flaky as a reflection, regretted his/her actions, and went mad, affecting Flaky and her friends. This theory also explains why some things are consistent (such as Handy and Russell always missing limbs) assuming they happened before the curse, and why some things are inconsistent (such as the homes, locations, ages, occupations, scenarios, etc.) assuming the spirit can do whatever it wants with dimensions and stuff. It also explains why Cro-Marmot was frozen since the curse probably transcends time and caused him to die repeatedly, causing him to escape these loops by freezing himself. This is a huge theory that I've been thinking about and have tried to post in a blog some months ago. Hopefully this gains attention.
