So, evil nanites. I've only seen two episodes of Jake 2.0, but I don't think his nanites can be used like this, can they?
Well, possibly--we would have seen, had they shot episode #17, Jake's nanites used as transmitters and receivers. But we don't have anything like the VR gear the jury wore, to transmit that sensory data. On Jake I think it was visual only. Would have been, I mean.
The thing that got me about the tech was that I don't get how the VR gear worked. I mean, the nanites as recorders/transmitters I kinda get. But that must have been a PDA with a few thousand terabytes of data storage on it, to store that much sensory input... And how wearing a funky headband would duplicate the sensory experience--rather than nanites being *required* to "replay" the data--I don't get.

Um. Okay, I geeked out just a touch there.
