Personally, my view of VOTOMS is like Matthew Robinson said - Wiseman manipulated politics and governments to save Chirico, not bend reality in bizarre ways. Also, if you look closely, the revelation of Chirico being an Overman isn't a last minute thing at all. Throughout the series, there are quite a few cases where Chirico is mysteriously saved, or pursuing enemies are called away. And as he learns more about the Perfect Soldiers, he's questioning what he really is through the whole show. I definitely wouldn't categorize it in the same vein as Lucas' midichlorian nonsense.
