I’m still reading your reply but I have to comment on #1.
I can’t make sense of that scenes logic either way. To the point I just kinda dismiss that whole scene.
If the computers know he woke up why did they release him instead of just killing him?
If they did know he woke up, and didn’t kill hom because he’s the one… wouldn’t the crew find it unusual how easy it was to get him?
It’s always got me ass odd the machines are like “dang another one woke up… we’ll release them to the rebels like normal I guess… this upcoming war we totally know about and planned for is going to be hard…
I just have to dismiss that scenario unless anyone else can explain it?
