Hi all:I was telling someone who took the Matrix too seriously that the machines would have used electric eels, large sub-intelligent mammals or something far more efficient and easier to control than humans to provide their energy
. You wouldn't even need a matrix for those buggers (easy there, PETA). Hell, why bother with a Matrix at all, even if they insisted on humans. Just keep 'em alive- who cares if they're happy... heh :). He was dumbfounded, never having considered or heard my observation elsewhere. I always thought that was the fatal flaw in the otherwise-decent "completeness" of the fantasy world created by the film.
Is it just me? I'll bet this was all too obvious to others, right?
