I'm pretty sure that I posted this question somewhere in cyberspace already, but I thought it would be answered quicker as a thread. In the Zion Battle with the APUs (Thank you Alias Neo), after they retreated into Zion itself, those setinels swarmed all over the "dead" driller. How in god's name did they make alive again. The Driller was heavily damaged already, (and from that drop) so how did shocking it bring it back to life?

electric impulses

pleaz clarify.

The sentinels used their power to re-power the drill.

Its pretty obvious while watching, you can see the sentinels red eyes flicker and basically go out, they are just giving it power.

That drill wasn't blown up. It was disabled when the Hammer's EMP went off.

yeas i agree with that. plus if you can believe that they can build it in the first place - why cant they fix it?

Yep, they definately give it power from their own, not only do their eyes flicker and go out, a number fall off.

It's a prelude to the bit at the end, where the Source pumps all that energy into neo, to 'restart' him. maybe

um...no

what do you mean "um...no"?

um..no.

um..no. means that is not the case.

In reference to?

Clarification is needed

I think he was referring to the post about it being a prelude.

yep

the squddies are sacrificing themselves to the highr power.... kinda.....

The sentinels are giving their power to recharge the drills. Neo is injected with some kind of energy or program used to destroy Smith. It's kind of opposite, so it wouldn't really prelude to it...

It would be more like foreshadowing And we know the Wachowski's do it all the time. Even all the way back to the first movie - Smith's death for instance

Smith's death. How does that foreshadow anything?
