Tonight Big-O moves to Adult Swim and I intend to watch and see if R. Dorothy and Angel are on that Street corner when Roger drives by at the beginning of the episode.
Spoiler :
Because while everything started over it seems R. Dorothy and Roger have been given a new role of assisting Angel in her duties of supervising Paradigm City. If you notice Angel and R. Dorothy were together on the corner when Roger drives by and they were watching Roger and Angel had a slight grin. It makes me think that the world was reset but that maybe R. Dorothy and Roger were not reset.

I was thinking that could have happend also. They were the only ones left when Angel fused together with Big O. It's like they are a part of her now and share some of her knowledge. Did you notice that Dorothy looked more human standing next to Angel at the end? Did you also noticed how Angel was blinking at the end but no on else was? She definately has the power to control the world. I think now she can live it up since she knows she isn't alone anymore and that people can help her with the responsibility.

I may be typing spoilers, but, then, if you've read this far into the thread, you're probably no longer concerned with that fact.

There is no reason for a third season, and, in fact, a third season would be pointless.

There is nothing left to be explained. There is plenty of meanings unstated and there are many unspoken messages, but the story is complete and the reaosns why things occurred in the way they did have all been explained.

Everything progresses directoy frmo beginning to end, and the messages expressed accelerate as the end of the second season approaches.

In order to truly understand, one must look into many histories and tales, including a good amount of Judeo-Christian mythology.

Everything which occurred was significant, even if it may appear to be made insignificant by the ending.


The entire world is a stage without an active director.

Forty years ago, Gordon Rosewater wrote the world into existence.

Angel now sits at the director's seat. She erased and rewrote what Alex has written, and Roger fulfilled his purpose by negotiating with Angel, the director.

No memories existed before 40 years ago because the world and people didn't exist more than 40 years ago.

That's not to say that no world existed more than 40 years ago - a world did exist, and many of the people currently alive existed in it, as well.
Before the world of 40 years ago, a different world might have existed. Before that another one yet might have existed. There is no way of knowing how many authors have sat in the director's chair to create or to recreate the world, and we have no way of knowing how the world came to be as it is. However, those details are wholly unimportant to this particular story. This story - this account of this existing world - has concluded, and the world has been rewritten.


Apologies if I have jumped tenses.

they never really resolved the "fake world" thing did they, they might be able to make a 3rd season about how roger and Big-O break free from the shackles of Paradime city.

That would be contrary to the purpose of the show.

What he said x 10.
The best effects are the ones you don't notice.

I wasn't saying they should or even try its' just one of those things that could happen but probably won't.

But it's not even within the realm of possibility. It would be wholly out of character - his purpose was to negotiate with the Director of his world, not to try to break free from the world.

Very true, BUt tink about all the other animes that went overboard in their 2nd or 3rd seasons (i.e. tenchi, supposedly outlaw star 2, the Eva movie, etc.) they all stray far from their counter parts and precursors.

I'm not talking about the purpose of the series, I'm saying that your suggested action would be out of character for Roger. There's a tremendous difference.
