Jeez, this site is reaching its blogging nadir - I'm posting to pass comment on Stu's K9 and Companydigression. Ho hum. Here we go, anyway.
I remember being highly disappointed when I saw this. Though, then again, I was only 9-years-old, so maybe I was lacking any sharp critical judgement. Maybe I just didn't like the fact that it was missing the Doctor Who music. And Doctor Who.
And as for the machines sending Goliath out (Neil Gaiman Matrix short story) rather than doing the job themselves, perhaps its just not in their being to lose any part of their collective whole - they do recycle any of their code that has rotted, after all. And who's to say anyway that a machine is better than a human in all regards, especially a modified human - we do have something within our mental structure that they want to develop for themselves, after all. (And someone like Neo can control the Matrix program better than the agents can work within its confines.)
I really must get a Comments function shoved onto this blog sometime, so anyone else can have their say on world-changing (note: irony) matters such as these...
