The Oracle an Exile?

She's not an exile in the strictest sense. Neither is she a 'machine program'. But she has characteristics of each, and she can't be pigeonholed into one or the other. She may be the mother of the Matrix - realising humanity needs choice t...

Will there be another one?

The anomaly was inherent in the equation - in that everything had to come down to Yes or No, Good or Bad, 0 or 1 - essentially 'Accept the Matrix or Not?' It was a choice available to everyone at a nearly unconscious level, so most simply...

How did Merv gain so much power?

Knowledge is power. He was clearly a program with knowledge in the first place, then was exiled to the Matrix - most exiles come through the Merovingian, so he had the wherewithall to do it all by himself. It was early on in the Matrix cyc...

Image Retrieval - June 14, 2006

I'm hoping that all reward items are co-ordinated with one another, so that you can wear a 'reward outfit' rather than having a totally mismatched one.

How much did the machines really evolve? + bonus question

I realise that this may be seriously over-thinking it and going beyond the bounds of 'fitting it into the film'. But let's assume that each succesful cycle was roughly 100 years. That makes 600 years between the failed Matricies and the pr...

Something Thomas Anderson's boss said

Mr Rhineheart's speech was brilliant scripting. It's effectively a synopsis of who and what Neo is, or will turn out to be in the film. They're telling you exactly what the film is going to be about, without telling you. It's fun to rewatc...

Smith was already incredibly powerful. The Agents were feared by the Awakened - who in turn were far more powerful than any normal human being. Smith was a sort of god-like figure all along, he was just bound by the rules of the system. Wh...

COULD Trinity have been pregnant?

It couldn't be a new One. The One was the 'sum of remainder of the equation' at the centre of the Matrix's programming, that allowed him the control he demonstrated. I imagine that his control of the sentinels was simply some sort of partl...

The time between sexxoring and annihilation of the Logos was a matter of hours. There would barely be a baby to save. If she was pregnant before that, she would never have left Zion for Reloaded/Revolutions - nobody who is carrying a child...
