for a piece on l2 monkeys, opinions solicited: What do subscribers feel about the link between Jeffrey Goines, his army, and the red haired doctor who ultimately liberates the deadly virus. Can it be logically inferred that Goines has staged the animal breakout as a "feint" to draw attention from the actual plan to steal the deadly virus and infect the world? Does Cole in fact precipitate the very disaster he is sent back to observe in the context of his drugged up conversation with Goines in the madhouse in l99O? Is this clear, or inferential? Finally, the redhaired scientist with the virus is last scene in conversation on the airplane with his seatmate, the woman who is clearly one of the scientists from the future. She says she is "Jones -- I'm in insurance." Has she been sent back from the future to somehow retrieve the virus from the redhead? Or is this is her l996 self, there by happenstance? (An intriguing note re this "tyrannous future": the scientists might very well have the power to "get there ahead of time" and stop the virus from ever being spread in the first place. Yet they do not. Are they only interested in improving their own present, lest they end that present by preventing the epidemic from ever taking place in the first place?)
