2 - Dr. Taylor probably took the captain's corpse from the radio masts and "fixed" it, to be the body of John DeFoe. But since Somerset threw the zombie down to the pit, the doctor had to create another vessel for the wraith.
3 - No one knows who sticked the machete on the elevator.
4 - Dr. Taylor was insane.
5 - Somerset was also insane. That's why he saw Serena even she was already dead.
6 - If you don't want to believe in the previous statements, just believe everyone is lying about everything and be satisfied.

Anyway.
I don't think Taylor was possessed in the same way as the others. Here, another interesting nuance was that the ghost of DeFoe turns out to be one of the less berserking but more malicious kind than the one seen in 5DAS. I guess this explains the problem above as well. I'm thinking that Taylor was not ENTIRELY possessed. He used his own mind to take care of the problems, he cleared his tracks nicely for a long while, which makes me think that the wraith left him with a lot of liberty, it's just that the objectives were clear for him, and from then on, he lived only to fulfill these. You can't explain this by just saying he was insane, it's a lot more complex issue than that. The wraith made use of his fears and desires, and turned himself in the right direction. It was his fear of turning out to be a useless member of the crew, desiring to be accepted as one of the team (of course, it wasn't that the rest of the crew didn't accept him, it's just that HE refused to believe in HIMSELF, being such an extremely introverted dumass. Perhaps he'd made a fatal mistake in his career earlier, which no one knows of. I'm just brainstorming here).
So, 'Somerset'. I don't think he was insane or delirious at all at that point. I still believe that it was Serena (or her head at least, sewn on some other people's torso and limbs, eww). To me, this bloke seemed to be the kind of person who has a calm, sane attitude towards problems (which helps him survive that week). I'm guessing he's lost control of himself only once, when he killed the real Somerset, which explains his outburst at the end, after he's reminded of the incident. Perhaps Somerset was a professor of his who didn't let him pass the psychology exam or something.
My, what a big post. Of course, most of these questions will probably be answered when 6DAS comes out.
Any day now...

Also, Centurion, set your clock to May 24th, then load a save just before the end and wait until after the credits. I don't think you have to play through the whole game to see the special ending, but you might have to if loading the save doesn't work.

Actually not. The final scene was like this:
POLICEMAN 1: It's him?
POLICEMAN 2: Dr. Somerset was supposed to have xx years old (very old, I don't remember the age) and, by the way, he is dead. He was killed by an unidentified assaultant, who is believed to have stolen his identity.
- Pause -
Somerset: I did't want to hurt him. I didn't want to hurt anyone. I've been unemployed for eight years! I JUST WANTED TO GO INTO SPACE!!
POLICEMAN 1: Let's go.
So, what we may be sure to know is that the fake Somerset thinks he killed the real one. It's like when you puch someone, and the guy goes unconscious, and you run away thinking you killed him. Then, someone comes and stabs the guy to death. This happens to me all the time.

2 - All items can be stolen, including keycards.
3 - The captain was the fist one to get possessed. Then he stabbed and threw himself in the radio masts, so the doctor would make him a permanent body for John DeFoe.
4 - The doctor was never possessed. JD told him to do the job, or else...
5 - How did Serena's hand went to the food vending machine? I have a lot of funny theories (including the one that states that the hand was possessed) but I prefer believe JD wanted the hand to be found by the crew, for some reason I ignore.
6 - After looking at Serena's torso, Somerset went temporarly insane and "saw" Serena walking around.

i just replayed first day to refresh memory, some questions revealed, and comes new ones.
1. Captain taked box onboard even when there is recommendation to leave it, so it's hard to belive he didn't looked inside box. Even more angela says she didn't see where exactly he gone after box retrieval
2. Day one adam don't want do anything at all, repairing lift etc. When you brind blade he says that it can get there any time (As we know he is a lier, that means he KNOWS how blade get inthere, because he put it inthere to broke elevator for some reason)
3. Both adam and willam knows that red smth on blade is a blood.
4. There is no captain keycard when you go to check what happened to radio, even more there is a blood coming from spacesuit on radio mast meaning it's ever captain himself.
5. Airlock card is yours while body dissapears from a roof, means no one can steal it, and also no one can go outside, except probably captian (He showed he can use spacesuit too)
6. Body must be taked away by somebody who possess captain card (to remove radio masts, and to get inside airlock), then he drops it away in hope it burns in engine, but you found it near engine outside means he failed to get rid of a card...
7. William runs away of conference as he have something important to do, means body is taked out by him to his room-lab. Knowing you up to send signal he kills serena while you investigating roof.
things is clear enough now, probably he is the one who is placed dismemberes serenas body behind a engineering panel, he is the one who places hand in the food machine and giving you ultraviolet to find body, so you will be locked up. It's not first time he tries to make someone "fake criminal", first he tried on first day saying angela is last saw him, and when angela says "we think all innocent" he gone mad. Second day he tried to make you criminal saying you are the one who saw him when he was and dissapeared, but again he gots NO by angela, and go invent his last working method that finnal gots you in jail while his commander-robot goes killing)
Idol was in doctors room means he taked it away, means he inspected box too, everyhing else is clear enough... but still what really happend first night ?
8. If adam touch idol, become maniac and kill captain and get back, then how captain card gets inside ? someone pickpocket him before ???
9. If that was willian who killed captain, probably he knows how to use eva suit, but where he got airlock card, adam won't give him it !
10. If that was captain who touched first idol then he got possessed and adam+willian defended themselfs, but then again how captain keycard gone to william?

That's not what I meant. But he probably wouldn't answer to such trivial nitpickery on the forum anyway, or if he would, he'd just use the word 'cocksucker' in various context.
(Or perhaps not, just to contradict me.)
I know sarcasm is not really obvious on the internet so try to imagine that here I used the same tone of voice as one of the funny-ass officers filling in the new recruits like this:
"And before you go to sleep, be sure to take the grenade belts off. If you're unsure why you should do this, feel free to ask any of our drill sergeants, they'll answer all of your questions with the utmost accuracy."
