OMG BIG O WUZ ALSO AWESOME!
I\'m so glad you see that the show had a psychological aspect to it and a rich plotline! That really means a lot... I also had no idea there was any kind of 3rd season in planning. That would be awesome, although I was satisfied with the ending they gave.
In fact, if you understand the plot, could you read through this old post and tell me how much, if any of this, is correct? I tried to formulate a theory behind what the plot was trying to depict once I saw the last episode, but sadly, I missed a whole lot right before the last episode. I\'m afraid I know absolutely nothing from around the time of the \"Levaiatin\" episode, which really stinks, since that\'s where the plot gets really good. One part which still confuses me is the role of that guy in the black pinstriped suit, and also the identity of the woman who whips Angel. I\'m afraid I didn\'t get to hear their back stories.
Anways, just tell me if any of this sounds right, if you know yourself, that is.
The episodes previous to the final episode depicted Angel as being in a small room decorated as her false past (because she wished it so). However, unable to completely control the power, Gordon Rosewater (old man;Alex Rosewater\'s father) was to play her grandfather, and an agent whom she used to work with (is that right?) played another important figure. Gordon Rosewater is still intent on letting things play out until he learns how to change the recurring timeline. To understand what I\'m saying, read my following theory on the entirity of \"The Big O\".
The story of Big O depicts a constantly relooping timeline. One would think such a timeline would never be altered, or could not. As the timeline goes, the world would be recover from it\'s previous annialation, be reminded slightly of it\'s past (but not enough to change everything), and then would once again be destroyed by a decendent of the Rosewater family. We must understand that in the previous 40 year interval, some survivors somehow escaped destruction, through the transfer of memories into there mind. They are later reffered to as defective tomatos by Alex Rosewater. The only ones who escaped the fate of the others were the defective tomatos and Gordon Rosewater, as well as many pieces of Dorothy software, which is somewhat irrelevant to the series. The Dorothy software was linked to Dorothy many times through software downloaded into her. Throughout the series, Shwartzvald tries to uncover the past which he had lived in (it\'s likely he was a defective tomato as well), but has now forgotten. He inevitabley fails, in his destruction along with his red Megadues (Megadueses are used to refer to the semi-gods throughout the series). However, in his destruction, he breaks through the dome and makes the strange fact clear, that the sky outside the domes was composed of machines as well. Everything was much more artificial than he originally expected. This is evidenced by the bizzare sight of the robotic Big Ear (the man with red glasses whom always gives Roger information) sitting in the cafe before it falls. This leads me to believe that every seemingly human being (excluding Angel) was also a robot, constantly manufactured and produced to keep the cycle of years going on. The factory is supposedly the destroyed factory where Dorothys are made. Roger Smith was also inclined to be an unimportant character, as well as an android, similar to Big Ear. However, because he made an effort to investigate into the areas which no one had ever stepped, he changed the looping destiny which all were doomed too. Thus, Big Foe, the white Megadues, was destined to destroy Big O, as had occured so many times in the past.
However, we must remember the other events taking place in Angel\'s bizzare control room. Gordon Rosewater has just discovered the truths he had missed in the wing-like scars on Angel\'s back, created by the old aquaintance\'s whip. The wings were a representation of Angel\'s godliness, as Gordon Rosewater now understands. He shows her an empty book, the original Metropolitan book (the red book), and encourages her to create writing onto the pages. The book represents the memories and history of the world. Because it was empty, the people were doomed to the same meaningless fate they experienced so many times. However, this time Angel created new history in the pages, and the false recocurring world dissapeared, becuase she was wiping it clean and starting anew. We have no way to tell if she wiped Roger too, because the series ends as her God-Megadues stands in front of him. She might have, due to her want to create an entirely new exsitance. We will probably never know.
