Talk:The Big O/Archive 1

message: I like the show alot. I didn't really get into it at first, but after I started watching for a while, I decided it was right up there with foolie coolie (i'm weird, don't ask). But there's so many things that i don't really understand about the show, i wish they wouldn't be so vague all the time.

:::The vagueness of the show I think is easilly explained by a certain something concerning the abrupt ending...but its considered conjecture on wikipedia so I don't want to mention it too much. But generally I think it is a great show as well. One of those show's that was supposed to make you think.--Kiyosuki 10:03, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

message: My friend and I were just discussing this  and we believe Angel could be the true author of Gordan's book  as well as the events that take place on Paradigm City Stage.  Just wondering what everybody else thinks about that.--Frisko 22:24, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
:Hmmm, this train of thought is not entirely without merit. I believe that Angel was in some way intemeitly involved in paradigms current events, and based on the last episode of the second season it would seem as though she had created the world in which everyone lives. On top of that, Roger (when he addressed Big Venus) suggested that it was either piloted by or acting in accordance with Angel's will. Furthermore, she and Dorothy seem to be the only ones who were not effected by the second event. The only catch is that this theory of yours fails to take into consideration how she willed Gordon Rosewater to have a dream that compelled him to write a book.

thread_title:  Ending Quotes 

message: Somethings been bugging me and I haven't gotten around to thinking about it until I was going through old tapes the other day and I saw the last 30 seconds of the final episode. There were two versions. I've seen on Adult Swim the ending they air currently, the one was simply the two MegaDeus's walking into each other, yet the original episode aired (when they first played the episode) contained the ending where it wrapped the first minute of the first season's beginning episode where Roger is driving in his car onto the episode's ending (complete with his original dialogue). However Angel and Dorothy are standing on the sidewalk, and Dorothy is wearing her black outfit from her stay at Roger's mansion. This was very confusing, and I couldn't get any solid opinion on this due to the confusing nature of the episode. However I did think that maybe the episode was supposed to end there and the events were wiped from memory of the city again, and it is if nothing happened. However, I do want someone else's take on this. Also if anyone knows why these last few seconds were stripped from the episode they air now, I'd like to know. -- Team Leader, 2:29 (02:29) AM, August 17th 2006
:I've heard that AS shaved off the last minute on purpose on subsequent airings to make the possibility of future episodes more plausible and ambigious. The last minute of Act 26 already is supposed to be pretty ambiguous and slightly confusing in nature, but I guess the "We have come to terms" message seemed finite, along with the fact that pretty much everything had gone back to what's considered normal in Paradigm to the audience.--Claude 04:41, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Like the discussion of whether justice is in the interest of the stronger party, or if it should be open to everyone. I think this to be especially true in the second season, when Roger and the military police go against Allen Rosewater. Of course, this train of thought may be the result of my study high; cramming for finals will do that to ya ;) TomStar81 05:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
