I was on the "you know you're a browncoat if..." thread and someone mentioned something about not caring who the starring actors are in the following movies. One of the movies listed was Reloaded. What firefly cast member is in Reloaded?

Gina Torres (Zoe) had a small part in both Matrix sequels.

Can we consider it her duty in support of her hubby??? Something she did, but she wasn't happy about it?

That's a nice way to think about it, spousal obligation. I like Mr. Fishburne as well, so I forgive them both.

I think we all read too much into the sequels. The first was a breakaway, dare I say it, revolutionary piece of cinema and the sequels were billed as the Wachowski Brothers mantel for greatness. But they disappointed. Fair enough. But try watch them again and just try to enjoy them without comparing them to The Matrix and you will just see them for what they really are.
Fun.

Actually its funny you mention that, here in the UK, terrestrial channel ITV have been playing the Matrix movies - Monday "The Matrix", Tuesday "Matrix Reloaded" and right now as I type this, my sister's in the other room watching "Revolutions"
I like the movies. Sure the sequels aren't as good as the first, but the second has some damn good action sequences and the third... well apart from a slow beginning and a cheesy end, is absolutely fantastic.

Sorry Riversguy, I have to honestly say even ignoring the first one (which was good), the last two weren't fun for me at all. If you liked them fair enough, but for me, no thanks. In fact, after watching the sequels I promptly sold my copy of the first film because I couldn't watch it any more. (sniff) and I used to like it. (wipes eye)

Just for the record, I was never really into the MATRIX movies to begin with. People say that FIREFLY/SERENITY is like the antithesis is STAR TREK and STAR WARS, but WARS and TREK have their amounts of human compassion and humor and general entertainment. THE MATRIX movies, on the other hand, were all glossy techno geek stuff about emotionless humans fighting machines and computer programs who had more personality than the humans. I think FIREFLY/SERENITY were the anithesis of THE MATRIX movies.
But one moment in RELOADED always gives me a chuckle and I wonder if anyone else catched onto it. You know that old movie THE WARRIORS (which IMHO is overrated and has not aged well) when Cyprus the leader of all the gangs keeps saying to the crowd "Can you dig it?" Before the rave/orgy scene in RELOADED when Morpheus is addressing the crowd and says "ZION...CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Did anyone expect him to say, or just say to yourselves in a MST3K fashion "Can you dig it!!!"
I once had in mind a fanfic where the actors are talking with their characters on the day of SERENITY's premiere and thought it would be funny for Zoe to complain about having to put up with Morpheus' "prophecy" bullshit night and day.
