"The Matrix", a computer system consisting of a virtual world created out of the minds of millions in which your mental focus affects what you can do inside and in which if you died inside you died for real, in fact comes from several Dr. Who episodes in the 70s, though the purpose of the Dr. Who Matrix was different- that one was designed as a predictive tool, inside which things to come could be foreseen. The idea was that such events could then be possibly avoided, but actually not a single thing predicted by the Matrix in Dr. Who ever failed to happen. Ummm... rather like the Oracle.... hummmmmm!
I hope they don't base too much on Dr. Who, though, because one episode had a 'Matrix-in-a-Matrix' trick in it. Gah.
