What does 'space between spaces' mean? I added an earlier Williams/Oxley exchange... does that help? |

How does Cohagen track Quaid after the bug is removed? I haven't seen the original in years, so I don't remember how clear image was. But if it is clearly the woman, then I tend to agree with your theory. |

How does Cohagen track Quaid after the bug is removed? I didn't mean the computer read his mind. Instead, he thought he was describing some fantasy woman, but he was actually describing the woman he had already met and fallen for -- so it's no surprise that he described her accurately. |

How does Cohagen track Quaid after the bug is removed? Explanation would be that he had already met that woman and fallen in love, before he was brainwashed to be the assembly line worker. Also, if I remember correctly, the description he gave was not detailed (something like "brunette and athletic") and the image on the screen was also not detailed. |

What purpose did Quaid serve Cohagen as an Average Joe on the assembly line? +1 Wow, I love this idea. Hadn't thought of it but it makes lots of sense. Only possible objection that comes to mind: Quaid's adventure begins just before he gets the Recall treatment. Still, this is very intriguing. |

What purpose did Quaid serve Cohagen as an Average Joe on the assembly line? +1 good points. also the impending invasion of "the colony" helped add urgency, making the rebels more willing to gamble on Quaid. |

What purpose did Quaid serve Cohagen as an Average Joe on the assembly line? This matches my understanding of the movie, leading to another question: from the rebels' perspective, would they really trust Quaid MORE after he was captured and then came back with his mind re-written? Seems like they would be more suspicious, not more trusting. Seems like they would not accept the Trojan Horse. |

What purpose did Quaid serve Cohagen as an Average Joe on the assembly line? +1 your answer helps explain the motivation in the 1990 version of Total Recall, but in the 2012 version, the rebel leader does not have the ability to tell if someone's mind has been tampered with. |
