NOTES (2)
ADD NOTES
- Roger uses Paradigm City's old subway system to move Big O around. That is how Roger can "summon" Big O to any location, though it usually destroys some building when it emerges because such was the most suitable location to appear at.
  EDIT SHARE
- During the closing credits at the end of the first episode, Roger is shown sitting alone on a large hourglass. After R. Dorothy joins his household, subsequent episodes show them sitting together.
  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Background music based on the original score from the UK science-fiction series UFO (1970).
  EDIT SHARE
- The Big O theme song is most likely a homage to the 1980s Flash Gordon movie, as the two are strikingly similar.
