At the end of the series, Roger was successful in changing some things, but not enough to end the cycle.
Third Reset: Essentially the same as the series, but with Roger, Dorothy and Angel possessing most of their memories
of the last attempt.
It seems to me that Big O is built on a trinity. You have the three Bigs, and the three people who pilot them. If you think about the pilots, there's a
pattern to them. Schwarzwald, dominus of Big Duo, is obsessed with the truth; he seeks to know exactly what happened forty years ago. Roger, dominus of Big
O, fights to preserve Paradigm as it is, and worry more about the here and now than the past. Alex, (false) dominus of Big Fau, fights to reshape the future
in his image (or, depending on how you interpret his character, to make sure there is no future).
Past, present, and future... this sounds somewhat familiar...
I figured that the resets that Big Venus does are the equivalent of sticking time and space in a blender and hitting 'frappe'. They're
really not good for the timeline, and I don't think the Three would like that one bit (especially since this
temporal loop essentially limits the scope of time and space in that world to a mere forty years long). They were
going to destroy that reality to stop it, but decided instead to test the people of that world, to see whether or not they could prove themselves worthy of
continued existence and fix things themselves. Hence, they gave Gordon his plan during the First Reset, and made the Bigs of their second reset, as champions
of a sort. The whole series was planned to see if one of the domini could get to Big Venus and prevent the reset. Roger convinced it to reset the timeline at
the end of the series, but not change anything except for what we see in the last scene.
This is where Doug would come in.
