@krzyzanowskim @JetForMe I think it was. We still called them "magic cookies" back then. They just weren't ubiquitous like now.

@JetForMe @cinebox not ones implemented in javascript on web pages, but browsers back then could absolutely be configured to ask the user if they wanted to accept a cookie

(there were rather fewer cookies back then so this was sorta feasible)

@JetForMe I'm pretty sure she put something in that cookie too. She tells him to eat it and that he'll feel better about things soon and he does, almost immediately, which suggests it probably isn't just a weed cookie. My guess is that it was some kind of bootstrap code that triggered when he died, possibly with whatever cryptographic keys would be needed to turn him into The One. Also probably some weed.

@jfparis Indeed. Then again, the writers probably didn’t understand the technicalities (or chose not to respect them), as is typical in sci-fi writing, and wrote the scene in a way they felt was most natural.
