I don't need to sit here and take this - Recursion - 5/16/06

Incredible, and to think I decried Anome when I first heard about this - now things have become clearer. Cypherites, if you want to go back to sleep so badly, DO SO. But it was your egotistical, arrogant belief that you could force a man o...

I find it helps to watch the Animatrix with the sound turned on, and listening to the dialogue. I can't see why people wouldn't get the Animatrix, it was all pretty well defined O_o

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...

Neo's phonecall

I always assumed that the message was just a message to the Machines. Who really knows what number he called before he sent it? Only Neo.

White Hallways Question

Here's something that's always bugged me. The Keymaker states that the only way to get to the room of doors is to disable the power, open the first door, then find the second and open it. But ... Firstly, Smith is in there when they arrive...

the true source of smith's power

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...

COULD Trinity have been pregnant?

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...
