I was the one who originally suggested in this thread that the ending may have happened in Travis' mind. The funny thing is that I no longer agree with this. My theory of the ending is now more in line with what Marq wrote in his terrific essay - Travis is a ticking time bomb and he will blow again.

I watch this movie every couple of months now and it resonates more deeply every time. I don't think I'll ever get remotely tired of it or stop finding new things in it.
