The Prisoner

[KRCummings]

You have a lovely life and look too hard for nothings to torture yourself over.

That's nice. Doesn't change the fact that Prisoner fans are weird.

What possible difference can that make in either the show's merits or your enjoyment of same?

Watch the show Grumpywallis. We all bitch about mind-numbing film and TV that has nothing to say and no ambitions beyond dazzling us with tits and explosions. Granted, The Prisoner has tits and explosions, but the show has something to say about the Corporatization of Private Life -- something worth expressing. And the presentation is respectful of its viewers, challenging and intelligent.

But, no, you're going to let some 30 year old geek with a Patrick McGoohan doll scare you?

Come on, honey.

I can't watch every show on tv so I'll choose the ones that don't weird me out for any reason.

The reason seems -- spurious. You're denying yourself a possibly enlightening and intriguing experience because Joey McFanfuck built a miniature Village in his closet. You're giving the dipshits a lot of power over your ability to decide something for yourself.

Oh my God -- you're a Prisoner.

I've never seen any Star Trek show that didn't involve the original cast and
I've never read any of the Hitchhiker Guide books for pretty much the same reason.
They're my reasons and they work fine for me. Nobody said you couldn't watch the show.

Yes Number 6.

BTW, if you're ever in Wales, Portmeirion is well worth a visit.

 

[thør]

Yes Number 6.

I liked 415.

 

[Ravenloft]

Who is number one?

You are, number six.

They told us from the very start!

Mind: Blown.

it's football day you fucking commie!

It's The Prisoner. You're not supposed to understand it. I meant to watch it but forgot so I'll try to catch it in reruns or on the 'net. The previews I watched online didn't look so bad.

I had that same feeling concerning the one and only time an attorney represented me in court. He was out of his league......intellectually.

I watched for 40 minutes waiting for it to pick up and stop being boring ... My guess is that it continues to be boring even after I turn it off.

Never saw the original, see no reason to watch the remake. Mostly because I can't stand the fucking fans. Worse than trekkers they are.

Gone!

The longest TV intro ever. Stunning stuff at the time and still stunning now. There were a number of intros rejected before this great one. Patrick actually wrote the last episode as they didn't know how to end it. The BBC NEVER had so many calls, demanding to know what the hell it was all about...

Most of it made sense to me... but then it was meant to be open to interpretation. No set answers.

It was allegedly an offshoot of DANGER MAN that PG starred in prior. It (The Prisoner) was quite brilliant, though if you understood that fuckin' last episode you're a better man than I....

 

[Ravenloft]

My take on the revelation that number one was number six is that he was a clone and the whole reason they needed the original to reveal why he resigned was so that they could make the clones of him indistinguishable from him.
