Lol every time someone new gets exposed to OL's sheer insanity. "Oh I already liberated your planet and genocided your oppressors like a year or two ago, you'll be fine."

Thank you, corrected.
He never swapped rings. Kalmin made a blue lantern that connected to his old ring and basically reinstalled an AI, database etc while swapping it to Blue.
December; that poor old lady died in December.
Missing quotation mark at the end.
Someone should probably tell Mr Zoat that this is something a member of the Psi-Corp absolutely would not do because skin contact makes it almost impossible not to read someone's mind.
I still can't really tell if she is actually interested or if her interest is purely mission related.
Ah, amazing how a tiny amount of physical interaction can slide right under someone's suitably paranoid defences. Not that Matthew Underwood seems nearly paranoid enough given what he's learned of Earth in the last year.
The movie? Oh, people have been saying that for years. Sadly, the amazing action, visual effects and tight black leather tends to turn the thinky part of the brain off for most people.
Ah, the fundamental confusion of the series. From what I remember, the captured humans were meant to be some sort of organic data processing the Machines used. But the test audiences found that confusing so the producers ordered the plot be made simpler.
'Reloaded' is probably the best of the trilogy, especially in terms of action.
Let's not speak of 'Resurrections', 'twas a silly idea.
And as a corollary: "I might not be interested in what someone else likes, but it's not my place to say they shouldn't like it." Something which a lot of loud people on the internet seem to forget...
Oh, brother, he is caught, hook, line and sinker.
Honestly passable. Not the wow-factor of the first, but...
Again, if she's not into the first one, the second may not hit either, especially some of the themes...
Oh yeah, the love scene between Neo and Trinity... And the giant 'dance' party in Zion.
Good, because the action scenes would make her wish she had that level of psychic powers.
Ah, and there's the rub. Heck, how do the human rebels know they're being used for power generation? Or data processing, or whatever the reason for the whole thing is? Who's to say the history they learn hasn't been manipulated by the machines over the millennia?
Also a large plot hole.
Oh?
...Huh. If there wasn't out-of-movie background material to go from, that might also be plausible.
Eh, a little less likely, at least in the movie's universe.
And it has been millenia. Who's to say what advances the machines made in that time? They have functional anti-gravity systems, after all.
All things beyond the scope of the movie's plot, alas, and thus ignored in favour of more flying punch-fests in a rainstorm.
Rule of cool, baby. They wanted a fun action movie, the details don't matter as long as sexy people are doing physically improbable feats with explosions going off.
...Man, it's going to be really nasty when he finds out what's really going on, isn't it?
...So if she had been willing, he'd have raised his flag in that direction?
The unconventional maid, if I remember right...
Huh, he actually did clock her as PSI Corps?
I suppose even without scanning her dee enough, he'd pick up on things like the apparently involuntary surface-level contact from physical interaction that Vaermina mentioned... Unless she's very good at restraining her power, anyway.
He went on a deep dive of her history, I see.
Good to see she's staying calm.
...Slight problem there...
Ah, will this show her true colours, or at least those of the persona covering her true self?
To be fair, Matthew didn't ask for details, he probably just hoped Ironheart mind-wiped people, maybe.
Not that it would have stopped him helping, I suspect.
Ah, how much truth to mix in to his explanation, hmm?
Right, mentioning nothing of how he gave him a lift. Though if PSI Corps think to check with Babylon 5 security...
What about the data he brought along? Or is Matthew playing a little dumb to avoid suspicion, I wonder?
I like that. He almost certainly know this will make trouble for him, but he still moves to help her.
He's certainly optimistic. I'd ask if he had a blue Ring, but we know otherwise.
And given Bester's interest, regardless of what she said, I suspect he'll be seeing her again.
Ah, overconfident
And it's hard to tell if either theory is right or wrong...If I remember correctly, one of the RPG books said that the gloves are mostly there to keep a separation between ordinary people and telepaths.
When I said it was a plot point on the show I meant it.
Pretty sure both of these should be Psi Corps.
Thank you, corrected.
Darn. You know, I actually remember reading that on their old website. That's the one where they actually told the pilot what was going on, put him through multiple versions of his life to accelerate his training and ended up leaving him in space because they couldn't risk him coming back.
Yes.
Not exactly. Bester isn't the prince. He's not even the general. He's a loyal captain at most. And he isn't just interested in preserving his power, he's a genuine ideologue.
He knows that some parts of the organisation are dodgy and that the dodgy parts probably include some of the Psi Cops.I certainly hope Underwood isn't really being as foolish as he appears to be. He's got enough information to suspect that something is going on with his 'date'. Maybe he's giving PSI Corps enough line to bait themselves into something foolish, or he's wilfully overlooking the crimes against humanity in hopes of some romance.
No, he did the boar army instead.
Un-enlightened and untrained Orange Lanterns tend to 'leak' avarice. She likely wants him while around him even if she doesn't when in her right mind.
Old typo fixed, new typo sneaks in.
