People were wondering why Morpheus and Trinity are able to handle Agents now, what I've came up with is because they have been training with Neo, even tho it is just after the first movie, you still would have plenty of time to train I would guess.

Personally I don't buy this, but it's just my opinion. It just feels to be that the brothers are being a bit liberal when appyling watertight logic, but I guess if it makes a great movie, does it really matter? (See above comments on artistic licence)

The TV Screens on the wall in the Architect Scene are all the different responses he could have said.

This is what many people have intrepeted it as, however I would debate the point, and say that they are recordings of the previous Ones' conversations with the Architect. The clue is when the Architect tells Neo what iteration the Matrix is in, and they all respond in disbelief with a different number. (See the transcript I posted)

Consider this possibility with a Matrix beside and Matrix, all part of a bigger program? The Matrix being one program and Zion and the "real world" part of another program, instead of "A Matrix in a Matrix".

The distinction here is really a moot point, whether a program is within another program or not, the relative "position" of a piece of software is purely abstract anyway, the fact that one was refered to as "containing" the other was due to that fact that you escape from one into another

The "Choice" Neo made was to save Trinity and have Zion destroyed. This was foreshadowed in the Tribal Dance/Love Scene where Neo could have been revered by as a God, or been with Trinity, he choose her, as he did when give the Two Choices the Architect gave him.

If this is the choice that the Architect refers to, then where is the logic with that tieing in with the probability of a host accepting the Matrix? This decision could not have been affected by the presence of Neo having a choice


That's all I got for now, my head hurts for thinking about this for too long. Hopefully I'll understand more in the morning.
