Matrix question-How did Cypher meet with Agent Smith?

[Stinsok]

How did he go into The Matrix by himself?

[TheEndIsNYE]

..They had an Chatroulette session!

Well, Neo catches him working alone at the console, maybe he was setting things up to enter and exit on his own?

Would he have beenn able to plug and unplug the back of his head though?

Oh. I hadn't thought of that. Darn you!

Maybe he was in for something else but ran off for a rendezvous without anyone noticing? But he did jump when Neo came up behind him at the console. Will have to watch that part again now. It really was kind of vague. Arghhh!

My kids got the box set for Christmas. I watched it for the 437th time yesterday.

The operator would have seen if he was in the vicinity of an agent and raised an alarm though...

You see Neo unplug himself in the second or third movie, so...maybe?

Every great movie has to have a plothole or two.

Same here. Watched it (again) on Christmas and last night both.

Yeah, good point. I was grasping at straws there.

perhaps he was programming a schedule into the consoles that he was seen - by neo - messing with. This console would have plugged him out automatically at a specific time, or something along those lines.

Or made a specific phone start ringing at a specific time to get him out...

...are we overthinking this?

I'm pretty sure Cypher set up a meeting with Smith in the scene where he's at the console. That's why he gets started when Neo walks up behind him.

[Joe Gress]

Just watched this one a few minutes ago too. That part has always made me wonder though. Im guessing that its just him pulling the plug on his own.

I always figured he was in a chat room for the Matrix with Smith and not in the actual Matrix itself. But I just disproved that by remembering him mentioning the steak, so I dunno.

I think Trinity was secretly an Agent all along.
