The big MacGuffin machine from the end of season 3. The Oblivion hotel. That could fix the time and space problems they were having.
So when we came in to season 4 I was surprised that Reginald didn’t fix his core motivational problems. He brought his wife back, which is great, but he could have done a lot more
Oh, right. That time and space recreation machine.
I didn’t think much of it because basically it didn’t make any sense at all. They didn’t explain what it was, what it was capable of (or wasn’t capable of), what Reginald actually wanted it to do, whether he managed to complete all the preparations/configuration before Allison killed him and pushed the button, what the ramifications of an incomplete configuration might be… Basically, anything could happen and there’s no point pondering it (in my mind). It was a really hasty season ending, which is how every season seems to end.
You’re completely correct. But they spent a ton of time building it up.
My theory is it is either what Reginald said, a magical time and space machine. Or, it’s Reginald’s original ship that he escaped on. And he has to get back in there and manipulate things.
Since the MacGuffin machine runs on Marigold particles, and marigold particles were created by Reginald’s wife, I think it makes the most sense that the MacGuffin machine is Reginald ship . Not to mention the hotel he created was a mirror image of the ship interior, and he created that hotel before he could see the ship. So that tells me he knew what he was looking for.
Now why does Reginald ship have a security system that Reginald can’t control? Not sure, we could come up with a bunch of reasons. But it’s interesting
