the matrix - How did Trinity know that Neo would see a white rabbit (to follow)?


Trinity tells Neo (via his computer) to



"Follow the White Rabbit"



A few minutes later, Neo is invited to a club and although he initially refuses, he changes his mind when he sees that one of the would-be clubbers has a white rabbit tattoo.


How could Trinity have known that Neo would see this tattoo?

Answer



Echoing DavidS's excellent comment



"In the draft script for Matrix Reloaded it is revealed that these guys are Redpills, covertly keeping an eye on Neo"




Although it's not official canon (since it comes from an earlier script version, still written by the Wachowskis but unfilmed), we learn in the Matrix Reloaded script v1 that both Choi and DuJour are in fact Redpills, he the Captain of the hovership 'Freedom' and she his trusted Lieutenant. Not only that, but it's made explicitly clear that they were working in concert with Trinity and Morpheus to assess and then rescue Neo.


That being the case, it would explain how Trinity knew that they would invite him to the club as well as explaining how Trinity knew that DuJour would prominently display her "white rabbit" tattoo to Neo at just the right moment.



THEY [Morpheus and Niobe] close for a kiss, when the FREEDOM'S captain suddenly jumps between them. It's CHOI - the NEO's supposed neighbor and hacking financier. Exuberant and oblivious, he joyfully gets in MORPHEUS' face.



CHOI: Bro, you [owe] us your asses! We saved you so hardcore you don't even know!


NIOBE smiles at Morpheus and fades back as BOOTH shouts his own praises. Morpheus turns to his less-mature peer.


CHOI: "So, you think you finally found The One, huh? Another One?"


DUJOUR, CHOI'S LIEUTENANT, pushes into their conversation, looking offscreen.


DUJOUR: Idiot, we helped him find him. Hello, Morpheus.


CHOI: Huh?


He looks at what she's seeing. His gaze halts on NEO. He's concentrating on TANK and his apparent girlfriend, who seems to be consoling him. He turns to see CHOI and DUJOUR, does a double-take, and his jaw drops open.


NEO: You?


CHOI is quick to resume his cool.


CHOI: In the flesh, so to speak.



DUJOUR: Welcome to the real world, Neo. I'm glad you're here.


CHOI: What do you think, Dujour? Should we take him with us?


DUJOUR: Definitely.



This also ties in nicely with the obsession shown by the redpills to the whole "Alice in Wonderland" mythos

Why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize Missy right away?

So after it was established that Missy is actually both the Master, and the "woman in the shop" who gave Clara the TARDIS number... ...why didn't The Doctor or Clara recognize her right away? I remember the Tenth Doctor in The Sound of Drums stating that Timelords had a way of recognizing other Timelords no matter if they had regenerated. And Clara should have recognized her as well... I'm hoping for a better explanation than "Moffat screwed up", and that I actually missed something after two watchthroughs of the episode. Answer There seems to be a lot of in-canon uncertainty as to the extent to which Time Lords can recognise one another which far pre-dates Moffat's tenure. From the Time Lords page on Wikipedia : Whether or not Time Lords can recognise each other across regenerations is not made entirely clear: In The War Games, the War Chief recognises the Second Doctor despite his regeneration and it is implied that the Doctor knows him when they fir

the lord of the rings - Why is Gimli allowed to travel to Valinor?

Gimli was allowed to go to Valinor despite not being a ring bearer. Is this explained in detail or just with the one line "for his love for Galadriel"? Answer There's not much detail about this aside from what's said in Appendix A to Return of the King: We have heard tell that Legolas took Gimli Glóin's son with him because of their great friendship, greater than any that has been between Elf and Dwarf. If this is true, then it is strange indeed: that a Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-earth for any love, or that the Eldar should receive him, or that the Lords of the West should permit it. But it is said that Gimli went also out of desire to see again the beauty of Galadriel; and it may be that she, being mighty among the Eldar, obtained this grace for him. More cannot be said of this matter. And Appendix B: Then Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien, and sailed down Anduin and so over Sea; and with him, it is said, went Gimli the Dwarf . And when that sh

Did the gatekeeper and the keymaster get intimate in Ghostbusters?

According to TVTropes ( usual warning, don't follow the link or you'll waste half your life in a twisty maze of content ): In Ghostbusters, it's strongly implied that Dana Barret, while possessed by Zuul the Gatekeeper, had sex with Louis Tully, who was possessed by Vinz Clortho the Keymaster (key, gate, get it?), in order to free Big Bad Gozer. In fact, a deleted scene from the movie has Venkman explicitly asking Dana if she and Louis "did it". I turned the quote into a spoiler since it contains really poor-taste joke, but the gist of it is that it's implied that as part of freeing Gozer , the two characters possessed by the Keymaster and the Gatekeeper had sex. Is there any canon confirmation or denial of this theory (canon meaning something from creators' interviews, DVD commentary, script, delete scenes etc...)? Answer The Richard Mueller novelisation and both versions of the script strongly suggest that they didn't have sex (or at the very l

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed.
