Stunning clues from the Gordon Rosewater photograph

It's clear that Dorothy possesses some clear relationship to the Megadei, since Big O let her pilot him and she's able to communicate with the other bigs. There's some significance to the fact that her memory core powers the Big Fau, but I don't think that makes her a dominus. If she had a really clear connection to one specific big, that would be different, but it seems like she's pretty connected to all of them in one way or another.

Maybe the real Dorothy was a dominus, or in some way more connected to the megadei, but I really don't think R. Dorothy Wainwright can be called a dominus. There just isn't enough proof of it in the show.

If Dorothy is in some way connected to all of them...then this is proof enough that Dorothy is Dominus class. I've been wondering about the moment we watch Big O under water in Act 26...and you hear the echo of Dorothy's call to Roger. Immediately we see Big O's eyes light up and the plugs come alive and were about to dig into Roger Smith's backside. Coincidence? I don't think so. It was Dorothy doing that to Big O to help Roger Smith. But Roger refuses Big O's help...not realizing it was Dorothy who was the one offering the merge to Roger. And right after the refusal to merge with Big O...we hear Dorothy say "Roger Smith has made his decision."

But the subtle hints are around to suggest the Megadeus Big Fau belongs to Dorothy and no other.

pretty sweet theory.... wow, roger an advanced android, that may be why he likes R.Dorothy so much. hehehe.
also, maybe Gordon wore make-up. really good make-up for his picture with Roger?

I believe Dorothy has a special bond with machines, including Megaseuses... I don't think that can be denied. But to go all out and call her a Dominus.... I think that's too far.
1. She never commands a Megadeus in the way that others, such as Schwarzwald or Roger do.
2. Being a machine herself, perhaps she has a commonality with the megadeuses (seeing as they are also machines)- and is able to communicate with them.
I stick with my theory that Paradigm City is a giant T.V. show or movie... but maybe that's just me. For all I know, there may be less proof to support my theory... but I can't really buy the fact that Paradigm is a hologram.

I have even more clues from Act 26. And I get this from repeated viewings from the DVD. Are you ready for this?

Right after Alex Rosewater is physically attacked by Big Fau with the plugs going into his back..you see a quick view change and you see Angel's backside light up. But right after this...you see something that most of you probably saw as only an artistic license from the artists who animated this sequence. But I saw more into it. What we see is a quick montage of Angel crouching on the ground...and we see her image dissolve into a camera lens. But this goes on three times. I didn't understand the significance of this sequence happening three times until I remembered the Gordon Rosewater photograph. We've seen that photograph repeated two times during that Memory awakening scenes while Roger was drowning under the sea. But we didn't see the photograph for the third time. I said in my previous analysis...that's because we're witnessing the third reset in live real time. So the two previous viewings of the Gordon Rosewater photograph meant the same actions happened two times prior to this final Reset happening in Act 26.

But then I quickly understood the significance of the NEW clue from Angel crouching on the ground. We see the same number of times her image dissolves on the camera lense...TWO times. The significance is clear...there is a link between the photograph being shown two times and Angel dissovling onto the camera angle two times. And they both mean the same thing...Angel has done this action two times prior to the current reset cycle. That means significant actions can occur again and again. It's Nietzche's "Eternal Recurrance" theory. The impact of recognizing what the images of Angel on the camera means is laden with important meaning. The most significant meaning of the Angel images through the camera lens is this...Angel is NOT the controller of Paradigm City nor is she the one who is causing the Resets to happen. Angel is a very important player...but that's all she is. And this is yet more proof that Paradigm City is a hologram program.

How about this theory? what if the picture we are seeing survived a reset, and thats a whole other 'episode' of the continuing reseting world? I mean, if there are differences on each reset, then couldn't it be possible that Roger and gordon were closer in age in one?
There is also the possibility that we are just seeing a robot of roger 40 years ago, but I dont think so. I think that the assembly line for roger is not unique, and that all of the citizens have them. I belive after every reset that people play slightly different roles in the show. Given this line of thought, it is possible that roger smith could be in alex rosewater's role and dorothy would have roger's role, you just never know because the idiots at turner broadcasting(the company who owns cartoon network) cancelled our show!
