BioShock Infinite *SPOILER* thread

I agree with you here, it was obviously to stop her from creating new rifts by herself. But also, I think they were trying to harvest her power to create their own rifts and manipulate time as they saw fit to have things go their way in any version of history.

One think I didn't quite get was close to the end where Songbird takes Elizabeth again and you try to get her back. Why did that jump suddenly go so far into the future where she was old?

I think Elizabeth (the old one) actually caused that to show you what was going to happen.

I believe the siphon was there to keep Elizabeth under control, and perhaps to use her power to open their own rifts, not sure about that though.

I agree that it was probably to keep her under control but I'm not sure about opening new rifts. Comstock and Fink (was it Fink? I forget) spent a fair amount of time researching it, hence the whole theory that Comstock became sterile by working so mucuh with rifts and why he then went and got Anna. The fact that they were able to open the rift to Anna in the first place shows they already had the technology to do it but perhaps they were experimenting on her to make it more stable?
