By now there's no doubt the bomb was manufactured by Militech, but that doesn't mean they detonated it. I confess, I'm not a huge fan of the popular theory that Johnny Silverhand, the controversial rockerboy, was behind the whole thing. In fact, I'm not really a Silverhand fan, period. Silverhand was a poser and a blowhard – not someone who would actually follow through on his grandiose bluffs (full disclosure, I just don't think Silverhand would have the balls to pull off something like that).
Let's think this through – who hates corporations the most?
Nomads, obviously. Remember that mass-market BD called "Badlands Raid" from the 20s about a band of nomads who attack a Militech convoy? Well, guess when it premiered? That's right – on the night of the attack. Coincidence? I think not.
Yes, yes, there's a Silverhand cameo in there somewhere, but that's just a marketing ploy – a BD scrolled by a bunch of cactus-huggers wouldn't sell for an enny without a recognizable face. But I'm more intrigued by the main actress – how is it she didn't star in any other production despite "Badlands Raid's" huge sales? Where was she during the attack?
