Out of the Blue

Okay, so what did I miss? I just caught a portion of The Matrix Reloaded on the satellite again yesterday, and something stuck in my mind that I hadn't noticed before (let me insert a spoiler warning here in case you have yet to see this one... just skip to the links of the day).

So the Architect tells Neo that they've destroyed Zion six times now, but then later refers to Neo's five predecessors. I they've destroyed Zion six times, wouldn't he be the seventh Neo? If there was a version of this event that didn't include a Neo (or if the Architect was simply lying), I would hope that would be clarified. On the other hand, if this repopulate Zion scenario took place as he described, wouldn't the "old" Neo be part of Zion's current populace? I guess this all speaks again to how disappointed I was in how few further wrinkles about all this were included in Matrix Revolutions.

I just have to say that all of this confusion on the outcome of Neo's existence is unwarranted. Neo is dead and that's the bottom line. Neo was jacked in through the "kernel" of the Matrix. By allowing Agent Smith to take over his body/mind (copy himself, whatever the hell it is that he does), the essence of Smith overwrote Neo. And the whole goal of that was that since Smith overwrote Neo who was directly jacked in to the kernel, the "virus" was destroyed. So you can conclude that: Virus = Smith = Neo = Dead Besides, anybody that was overtaken by Smith was labotimized except for one person (and that was only because of the timely occurance of it happening just as that person was jacking out).
