question about a question

the page asks:

• Is Clarice's Monad church service held in the real world or in V-World?

having watched the episode a couple times now, i feel pretty confident that it is in V-world and i don't think there should be any question of whether or not it is. the V-world "blood cell" establishing shot was used prior to cutting to clarice's cathedral and clarice herself even mentions "in the real world", implying that they are in fact in the virtual world. i didn't want to just delete the material, because it is a valid question, just one that has a pretty immediate answer. so, should the question be deleted or should it be answered on the page?

Delete it; the fact will show up (eventually) in the episode summary. I missed the "blood cell" transition--my access to the episode is limited for now, thanks to geography and the logic of a certain TV network. . . . BlueResistance 05:10, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Planet of the Apes references

Escape from the Planet of the Apes is hardly the first, the most famous, or the most revered example of flash forward techniques. Flash forwarding is so common in storytelling that it is very unlikely the writers were paying homage to Apes. Likewise, it is a stretch to suggest that the Cylon marine statue and the cat and dog statue in Conquest of the Planet of the Apes are directly related: there are many real-world statues depicting warriors in heroic action poses that are more probable sources of inspiration. --BlueResistance 15:52, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
