kingtycoonFuck it then. Y'know - it's too cold for me to go anywhere, and it's too cold for anyone to come and see me today - so... I'm just gonna get drunk and watch the Prisoner all day. Here's how that is going.
- I love the full introduction - I am certain that there are millions of those card-dispensing arm robots all over the place - it's a major industry of some town you kind of know about but will never visit - Probably in Indiana.
no phones or police station make the Village seem pretty fucking ideal. I wonder if someone knows what font they use everywhere.
#6 doesn't know his number yet, poor old #6.
Well, golf-cart driver - it's pretty cosmopolitan, sure - but I bet you know you'll never meet anyone that's black.
Anyhow - the Be-Seeing-You salute and the Credits - those are great hints, I hope they come to something later in the show! Hint - they do not, they are both abandoned eventually.
Also the shopkeeper seems to speak Polari! I think it is.
A larger map of the village with a hex grid... Oh man, useful.
Be-Seeing-You is the perfect salute for the surveilance age. I will use it more often.
Now you know what your number is you #6 you. Go to the green dome.
Good thing there's a bald dwarf for no reason. Who else will show you to the uncomfortable chair that rises out of the floor pointlessly.
I couldn't resist that either #2.
Psychic breakfast is kinda unpalatable though. You can't eat premonition breakfasts.
The umbrella & antique novelty bike are kind of overdone in the 60's BBC - I wonder what was going on with the props departments. I like that McGoohan figured out how to do something legitimately suprising with all of this stuff.
One does like to know everything #2.
Hey, #6 is invited to my birthday party! 3-19 is close enough, be a pisces with me #6!
Oh man, espouse your libertarian ideology all over everyone #6. You're your own man, sure you are. What's funny is that dude is a gov't employee with rebellious hostility for the state - it's always been huh?
It's sensible that they have these helicopter shots to show the place off in ep1 - but it's pretty fucking weird how muddy and brown the resort is. English vacation doesn't seem very relaxing at all. It seems dirty.
I feel like these top-hat guys are supposed to be distinct from the stripe shirt & stripe cape crowd - but I don't know if this is ever demonstrated or explored. Sunny days and particolored umbrellas only make sense wihen the announcer tells you that there'll be rain later.
OH! Everyone stop & don't moove - a terrifying balloon is going to mess up a guy while roaring hideously!
That's a good first appearance of a badguy in your messed up spy commune.
"That Would Be Telling!"
Charming.
Questions really are a burden to others - I ask them all the time - it's my deflection that simultanously instigates dominance struggles.
Tinker Toys can't have been so novel to appear somehow technological can they have?
What are you doing here hot maid? Waiting to get yelled at?!
I wonder if it'd be straight up crazy to get your house to look like #6's house? All these low-hanigng lamps tho - I'd be pretty grouchy.
This camera work is...
but yeah! listen to your cans, listening to cans is great.
Nice work making me hate that music though, nice work. Oh! Hi hot maid. Wanna get yelled at some more? Brooding approaches...
Gaze directly into my forehead hot maid. A still tongue makes a happy life! But a shitty kisser.
That sailor hat tho.
#6 DO NOT PLAY.
The dentist mirror & teeter-totter chairs - along with the star charts? It's a planetarium?
This dude in the pink coveralls is me. he's gonna fix the radio after an angry maniac smashed it to bits senselessly.
Ah! So the gardener is the same guy as the repairman? Is this going to be addressed later? I think. No. But that mean balloon is relentless & makes a humming noise.
You can't trust the bust of Tycho brahe! Science busts. They're definitely out to get you.
Do you think you could talk just using your lower lip? Like, how much could you say? Do you think you could do it for a day?
It's sort of tragic to see how much the DHS has borrowed or lifted from this 60's TV show. Orange alert! I hope that a mean balloon is added to our national arsenal though.
Jerry Sienfeld is in this hospital. Who aaarree these people? With the druggings and the security balloons?
I will have more liquor now.
This Doctor looks like Mr. Drysdale (from the bank). I bet a show about Jed Clampet at The Village would rule. I bet it would be the best thing ever.
Jerry! No! Jumped out of the castle. But, at least #6 has hid headshots. And finally his cool jacket. I will pledge permanent friendship to anyone who can get me a jacket with the ribbon edging. Man I love that jacket.
The New #2! I didn't realize it was in the first eposide. Good work laying that out right there.
Jack Lord is hte new #2. ugly jack lord.
For the slowpokes in the audience it's revealed for sure he's #6. I like that he says he's a person instead. I'm a person. I am somebody...
Meanwhile hte march/parade has the same unappealing effect of all parades! You're not a person at all, you're a spectator! Or a participant, one or the other, there are no poeple #6. You're kidding yourself. And ret-hat lady is no-one you should talk to. Jesus with this lady. Don't talk to her. Christ, I think she's made of razor blades and dead cats. Snappy cape tho.
She does a good job of not liking t be asked questions though. That's... Well it's okay acting at least, but christ she's awful.
Well upsetting looking ladies in the brown vacationland makes some kind of sense anyhow.
Except, you know what's weird is that #6 is barely interested in The Village at all, he's all aobut getting out - this daffy nonsense - he's got no patience for here. You'd think he'd want to know more but no. He's single minded about leaving. This is how it is when you have to leave a party or a bar - you will not say goodbye, saying goodbye is for weaklings! Leave immediately. Makes perfect sense. I also need a helicopter.
Smugly piloting a helicopter is the only item on #6's CV. If you can smugly pilot a helicopter what the fuck else do you need to say for yourself?
Meantime the new #2 is going to prove that he controls all helicopters? What a devious move there! But really, it's sort of stupid that that's his best move. "You will return to the brown beach! You have no say. Go in the mud again!"
Jerry Sienfeld is not dead. He's a jackass bank manager now?
