I'm going to take a moment away from all the comments about the Existentialists Vs. God aspect of this season, for another very important point:

SPOILER for the next episode -

From a purely utilitarian standpoint, Jasmine's eating people is still a vastly lesser evil than the suffering and death she could have prevented. I mean, even if she ate a thousand people a day, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the number of horrible deaths suffered in a Jasmine-less world.

Even with the temple building, many Christian conceptions of Heaven down the centuries have basically amounted to "everyone gets to spend eternity in complete submission to God, singing praises to Him."

What I like is that he doesn't even need to ask. Jasmine knows what he wants most without him even needing to say it.

"The Tick lives IN Dr. Horrible. Ben Edlund was going to do the piece with us but had to drop out. "Bad Horse" was a character he'd pitched incessantly on "Angel" ("How could he make a radioactive device using only HOOVES?!?!?!?") so I wanted that in, and the first thing Ben pitched for this was Moist. But he had to…

Ben Edlund was actually pretty influential on the 5th season.

Actually that bit does get explained - they need to keep the city intact for the "free" humans in the next Matrix cycle to discover. Zion isn't really a center of resistance, it's a wildlife preserve for the people who get released from the Matrix. Thus, the machines don't want to destroy it.

I'm pretty sure that's not correct. According to the Architect, the Matrix is going to crash because of a sort of steady buildup of free will over time. The One is the system's pressure release valve on that, and Neo has to disseminate the code that makes him the One back into the Matrix or the whole thing will crash.…

I've always been of the opinion that "Reloaded" is a very strong sequel. It's not as good as "The Matrix," but it's solid. The problem is, it's the first half of a story. It sets up a bunch of interesting questions, and then leaves the answers to the third movie.

"she’s really talking to us, letting us know that the things we’ve seen in past Fringe seasons still happened, more or less"

Re: K. Thrace

On the contrary, it is official Catholic dogma that encountering God in Heaven immediately causes your soul to lose any individual identity and become one with the deity.

I'm pretty sure that Buffy is a bit behind Angel in time right now - Faith left just after getting Angel's soul back, and just arrived now. And VAGUE SPOILERS…

Well, the tricky bit is, I'm almost certain Jasmine isn't meant to be the AntiChrist. She's meant to be the actual original flavor Christ.

So I mentioned this last week, but I thought I'd elaborate now that we've hit "Shiny Happy People" -
