[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [qb]And, as far as the idea of a national Precrime department goes, I just assumed that those three kids weren't the only surviving drug babies out there, and that maybe other facilities would be set up for other precogs; maybe not as good as the original three, but close.[/qb][/QUOTE]Which is a possibility, but then why would the villain go to the trouble of staging an elaborate crime just to keep Agatha, when he could just get nearly as good precogs elsewhere? Then you also have the commercials stating that these three precogs are a "gift to society" and even minor religions being built around them. The existence of more procogs would tend to undermine that, especially since you would need three or more for every city to go national. (which admittedly seems to be a contradiction, if you need more for other cities to go national, then the original three aren't that valuable, then why commit a crime to keep them in order to make pre-crime a success, in order to go national? Wow, thats near circular) Wasn't it also mentioned that the designer drugs that created them were eventually cleaned up so they wouldn't have this side effect, so there wouldn't be any possible new sources of precogs either? Then again, PKD books usually aren't too coherent when it comes to drugs, so that could just be an influence from the book (which I have not read) , and not a fault of the movie. [/QB][/QUOTE]
