the matrix - What happened to Agents Brown and Jones?


Agents Brown and Jones from The Matrix were replaced by upgraded Agents Johnson, Thompson, and Jackson by the time of The Matrix Reloaded. But what happened to them?


In The Matrix Reloaded the Oracle explains that when a program faces deletion (due to replacement by an upgraded program, for example) the program can choose either to return to the Source for deletion or go into exile.


Many of the exiled programs seen in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions are programs that performed similar functions as the Agents in previous versions of the Matrix -- we see vampires, werewolves, and ghosts (e.g. the Twins) from the Nightmare Matrix and possibly angels from the Paradise Matrix (the guards at Club Hel can "fly"). Presumably, therefore, it is common for security-type programs like Agents to choose exile over deletion, so that would be my guess.


Is there a canonical source which provides any clues as to the fate of Agents Brown and Jones?




Answer



Agents Brown and Jones continued to work for the Machines at least until the events of The Matrix Online. They were not deleted, they were not in exile, and they were not upgraded and turned into Agent Johnson, Thompson, or Jackson.


Sources: According to Wikipedia, Agents Brown and Jones appeared from time to time in The Matrix Online. Additionally, an independent source in a forum post mentions Agent Brown questioning players in The Matrix Online (full thread here). Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any publicly available videos or screenshots of Agent Brown or Jones in The Matrix Online.


Credit goes to user Richard for the tip in the comments about their appearance in The Matrix Online.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

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....

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...
