I don't know about Life on Mars, he's trapped in his own mind but I wouldn't say it's during a few seconds before death. I think it's going to be more than one season before the whole cycle is undone, but it's actually a little bit more like Inception, as much as I hate to compare it to that film (because that doesn't seem fair when it's Inception that's like RvB, seeing as how Burnie has probably been sitting on this idea of his for years now). We have multiple layers of reality - two or three at minimum depending on if "the cycle" really does imply that everything we saw before Reach was the last layer, created by the previous Epsilon/Alpha. But it's a little too convoluted for me to fully work out because, as I said, I think we're missing part of it.
And yeah, sorry Burnie, but until anyone actually understands what just happened in Revelation, Reconstruction is still my favorite season. It had a clear plot, which certainly raised questions but actually answered a few more than this one did, and it sure is hard to beat that double-whammy of episodes 16 and 19. If the "revelation" this season is that we had the entire concept of reality in this show wrong the whole time, and if that had been presented in a way that made that very clear and actually explained it, that would have been just as big, but instead I just really don't know what's going on anymore.
