Reading this inspired me to re-watch The Matrix again for the first time in a few years. It is a truly awesome movie - even at 12 years old. Anyway, just to be annoying, i had a thought which has probably been had by many, but since it's now so old, this thought might even be considered retroactively fresh...
Anyway, the thought. Why don't the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar, when hacking into The Matrix, just carry along a red-pill with them? The red-pill "disrupts the IO carrier signal" allowing Morpheus to find Neo in the physical battery-cell matrix. But, much more importantly, it allows him to physically wake up -- without taking an exit.
So, surely, if they just took a red-pill when, say, fleeing Agents, they would just wake up. No exhausting running about trying to find an exit - they can just wake up whenever they want to. Anyway, does anyone even know what i'm on about? I should really be working anyway...

I never quite bought the basic premise of the film that humans make good power plants. Surely the big bad robots would get more energy from burning whatever they're feeding humans themselves, rather than feeding us and then using our body heat or what-have-you.
Indeed no. You are correct sir. Why couldn't they use wind, wave, nuclear, coal, or, if the sun was the only option, put giant solar panels in space. The machines seem quite smart after all. Surely if the humans were such a big threat the machines could just wipe them out.
I think the 3rd film hints at machine humankind-sympathizers who possibly wanted a reason to keep them around for intellectual company or as playthings without the hassles of them being physically able to cause trouble. This might makes slightly more sense than the perpetual motion human AA battery idea.
