so who's in charge? Just the Arcitect? I always assumed the Agents would be in on it, or was the destruction/change of Smith another "radical" that they would be unable to predict or stop, because of choice? For isntance, perhaps the first five Neos just flew away or something. Then - wouldn't the Architect have known it happened, and thus - not given Neo the choice to save Trinity, and just let everything reset because Smith would pose such a danger as a free-roaming virus?

But, if Smith can retain the attributes of humans, and thus was able to be drawn into the "real world," wouldn't he be capable of dying? I again, don't understand how an Agent can bleed/be human and Not be mortal. And, since Zion is likely part of the Matrix, he would just still be capable of his Agentpowers inside of the real world/Zion.

Very telling. And I like it.
