Oh, but then we wouldn't have the cool scene in Reloaded where Trinity is
hacking. One of the very few cases where a movie has showed hacking
anywhere near realistically. Breath of fresh air compared to crap like
Swordfish.

Wendy--
>>> Duncan looked nice in this one- the beige wardrobe hadn't become
annoying yet. It was nice to see him out in the sunshine without a
trenchcoat at last. Of course the ugly green Rover was just that...ugly.>>>
And...odd, given that DM had dumped 99% of his possessions in storage &
wasn't doing anything like his season 4 project of renovating a house. He
wasn't even carrying around his sword at the time; he hardly needed a
hauling vehicle to tote that not-so-big stick. The old Citroen had finally
died, & I have read that the vehicle was AP's choice, rather than a black
Daimler (the one used as Grant's car in this ep) the producers had chosen.
Donna Lettow went off about this ages ago on the old Forum, saying that
Americans have a weird idea that SUVs are showy status symbols, while in
Europe they are considered practical. OK--but at that point in his life DM
had absolutely no _practical_ purpose for that type of vehicle. AP's
shoulder was hurt at that time; maybe that style of vehicle was most
comfortable for him.
The forest FB w/ DM & Alex lacked a screen caption (just one of many
production lapses in season 6). Per Lettow, it was 1796 France.
