Death of a Zionite.

So here's a sort of a macabre question about the culture of Zion, for all you armchair cultural anthropologists out there. I was thinking about the death of a character in MxO, and what our faction might do to honor him in the Real - and I...

Can Programs lie?

LOL, true, we could certainly debate whether the lie of the Matrix is justifiable - and that's probably one of the biggest differences between Zionites on the one hand and Machine apologists on the other. We could (and do) try to distingui...

Can Programs lie?

Nice interpretation. Deception seems to be a by-product of self-awareness and conscious thought. Biting into that juicy apple gives you all sorts of power - including lying. Guess you have to take the good with the bad. Wow, that's sort of...

Stop the presses, Sati has a purpose?

I see what you're getting at - in the Machine world, nothing is created for creativity's sake, and the default protocol is that any program that is not immediately utilitarian will be deleted. At the same time, I would imagine that the Mac...

Stop the presses, Sati has a purpose?

So Sati always had the power to manipulate the illusion of the Matrix, but the beneficial applications of this capability were unforeseen by her parents and/or the Source? Because if Ramakandra and Kamala knew that Sati had a capability th...

Stop the presses, Sati has a purpose?

Hang on just one gosh-durn minute, now I'm confused. I thought the whole reason she was smuggled into the Matrix via the Merovingian was because she had no purpose in the Machine world and thus faced deletion. Now we're being told that she...

Can Programs lie?

Er, isn't the entire Matrix one big elaborate lie? The whole point of the Matrix is to deceive humans into believing that they're living out normal, turn-of-the-20th-century lives. The Machines actively conceal the truth of humanity's cond...

How did Morpheus know?

I definitely see what the OP is trying to get at, but I don't think there's any way to know for sure. If there was a specific answer somewhere in the films, MxO, or The Animatrix, someone in this horde of fans would probably be able to quo...

Image Retrieval - August 23, 2006

Continuity alert! Why does Zion need to rely only on Neo's description of the Chateau? Niobe and Ghost were also both there during Enter the Matrix, right? *returns to being pathologically obsessed with details of the Matrix storyline*
