glad ya agree pkgrl, your opinions matter much to me

I don't think Neo "planned it all along" but rather he re-entered the Matrix hoping to figure out way to beat Smith (plan A : beat the **** out of him) but at the end when he heard Oracle's words he realised the only way to beat him...was to submit to be taken over for Machines to do rest....he could see how Oracles was affecting Smith as she was powerful and by same merit, Neo would/could also be used to affect Smith..

EDIT: came across this opinion online which is very interesting..

The Oracle tells Neo that Smith is the exact opposite of Neo. She says that the matrix is being balanced by having Smith become far more powerful than he ever should've been because Neo was becoming far more powerful than he should've ever been.

Smith could dublicate himself indefinitely.
Neo could extend his power into the real world.

In the same conversation she said that the Architect was there just to balance the equation. So, essentially, the equation is like this:

Let Neo = 1
Let Smith = -1

Once Smith overwrote Neo:
-1 + 1 = 0

This is why Neo just dissapered in the Matrix after Agent Smith exploded. It's total annihilation.
