Why the occupant didn't go the room earlier?

A couple of questions:

1. Why didn't the occupant go to the room earlier? Either kill himself there or ask someone else to do it?

2. How exactly did the occupant keep the people with objects from coming?

3. If the "object map" was based on sightings, how did it not have any errors? And btw. if one would go around the "occupant area", it would draw a line across the occupant area. Thus it would have been better if they would have depicted the "pattern" as huge group of dots rather than the lines.

4. Did Joe the protagonist really become the new Occupant?

5. Apparently the "reseted room" was set in a place where time didn't pass. But wasn't Anna able to just open the door and come out from there? Or did you have to be the Occupant to do that? That was hazy.

Probably because he didn't have the key.

Joe Miller brought him there without the key. How do you explain that?

No, he didn't. Kreutzfeld was there doing his experiment and left behind the key after he went in the room.

Since he was immortal why didnt the occupant go after the key?

The Occupant discovered that close proximity to an Object was torture for a sentient Object. He spent the intervening time trying to be as far from the Objects as possible.

As a very minor, minor point, I'm personally betting that had the mini continued into a series, the 'new object' would have ended up being the stuffed fish toy instead of Joe.

1. I believe he had. Didn't he say something like, " I always feel better when I'm in here." I don't think he had experienced the years of solitude and loneliness from being erased from history or maybe just didn't have access to kill himself in the room yet.

2. The objects all had a sort of magnetic pull to one and other but the Occupant was different, he was human and had a will of his own. I think he was able to reverse that pull through the force of his own will. Remember the objects did cause pain. The reason he didn't fight the photo coming to him that Joe brought was because he thought it was his wife. Which means he can tell also which objects are objects which.

3.There were errors. Joe had never been to Cleveland and the Sood corrected the mistake on the map. The Occupant was not tracked because no one knew there was an Occupant object to track.

4. He really did.

5. Joe, the new Occupant, had to do that. It was similar to the way he chose from which door he would exit the room. He said quietly before opening the door, "Give me back my daughter." Then he opened the door to Anna standing there.

the occupant couldnt get back into the room.... if he used the key it would resuly in a combination effect as he was also an object. maybe thats why he was nuts and in an old folks nuthouse.... he left the room, tried to get back and couldnt and tried explaining his crazy story to the cops. maybe his wife was waiting for him in the room and he couldnt get back etc etc
