kingtycoonThat font tho. I want to build an adventure based on that font. The Players will face wierd druggings all the time &... Realistically I think The Prisoner has profoundly affected my creativity.
This #2 just seems pointlessly indolent. Way to give up before you start new #2! Meantime #6 puts on his jacket as an act of defiance. He's defiant, that's his move.
Seriously, why give this guy the umbrella and decorative scarf - this guy is no match for #6. I don't care how much French he speaks.
Aha, but now I see it. You can run for the office of #2. The current #2 has a very Herbert Hoover quality - like he accidentally got elected by a complacent crowd - he's doomed. It's preposterous that any #2 be so defeated from the outset, and yet, this guy seems like he's exactly the incompetent joke who draws widespread institutional support. Whether this show is actually that subversive though remains to be seen. #6 meanwhile looks exceptionally #6-ish. Cynically amused & brashly, competently hostile - that's the lean & hungry look of a man in society no? Exemplary.
Oh damn - it's that Ayn Rand shit now - where the community & the society is the enemy of the person. Blah, blah. I like again, that #6 is a civil servant who hates representations of society. Hilarious.
Anyhow this #2 knows he's useless so he pits all of society against #6. This is a good show! #6 ain't having it though - h'es a person! He won't be part of any club that would include him. Meantime the sailor hat cabdriver lady is? Is that Polari again? I dig the clockwork orange precourser here. Meantime this ingenue is by far the most endearing of the ladies of this show so far. She smiles like she might actually be happy.
Misquotes & soundbites? I guess this is the satirical episode? I suppose given the libertarian ethos that governs the show the idea of elections would have a whole dystopian element.
Meanwhile - his misrepresnted speech attracts the attention of the mean balloon! It hates his ideas.
This is the memetic youth campaign of fhe next successful president - the bland unseeing hateful balloon hates his ideas (which were established entirely by an adoring press). Shit. I'm now waiting for #6 to ask for Hope & Change.
Here he explains how participating in democracy makes you inhuman. Well. I can't say that the show is concieved as a libertarian screed, I don't know that - But I can tell you - there's a comical through line of that - the Man in conflict with Society.
Meantime - there's this nice guy. In the Milgrim experiments they showed that people would be much more likely to shock guys to deaht pointlessly if a smiling, nodding man was in the room with them. This guy in the basement of The Village is exactly the smiling nodding man from the Milgrim experiments.
At least they're asking new questions. Why run for office? I like the background graphic too - it's like a cross between a contemporary brain monitoring app and a sesame street skit.
Of course this particular graphic has the power to turn #6 into a pasty deluded chump - he's all hypnotized & useless. McGoohan must have done all of the drugs though - because I don't think I've ever seen anyone pretend to be high so persuasively. Shit, I can totally see him ignoring me while he talks about the band he likes and might be in.
And back to this episode's ingenue. Really, there are a lot fo things I don't like about this episode - but DANG I like that lady. Look at the ribbon she put on her sailor hat! She's snappy as fuck, and just the right face. The be-seeing-you salute, multilingual! #6 what are you doing! You should ask her out on a date to the muddy brown beach instead of stealing her gofl-cart! Don't you want to kiss her by the glowing eyed bust of tycho brahe? I do! Maybe you can get mashed by a mean balloon robot with her!
But you know, steal a boat if that's what steals your boat. Meanwhile - I think that's the wilhem scream.
Lower lip talker releases the Kra... mean Balloon. #6! Why not just be president!? This episode has problems. I think because the female lead of the week is so delightful - it makes it hard to understand why #6 wouldn't just try to be president of the village witha a snappy mail order wife.
Seriously though - this episodes got some neat camera tricks, and it's got a vaguely benign villain & a charming ingenue - I feel like it would be the episode to keep the show going, but that the ideas here are poorly developed. Was it run intially during an election? If this episode showed in October of an election year, it would make some kind of goddammed sense - it would have that perfunctory topicality that you expect out of TV - otherwise... I'd say they were at the bottom of their budget and hired for a #2 some guy they found playing Juliet's father in some community theater.
Or else McGoohan vastly misjugede his own appeal and decided to cast some dunce as his political opposition in the democracy episode.
WHY IS EVRYTHING SUPPOSED TO BE NON ALCOHOIC! Who would even drink non-alcoholic gin??
I serioulsy want to kiss a girl in a particolor cape & sailor hat who wants to cheerfully serve me NA gin.
In the village I would swap work units for toilet wine all day long.
Oh! Now there's this part with the wicker chair gypsies and their stagecraft still? Okay - the current #2 makes some sense here! He's a good foil as a drunk huh! Okay - drunk #2 is persuasive. I'd vote for drunk #2.
Also, I straight up did not see the inevitable betrayal there! I had no sense of it at all and was outwitted by TV, this is the type of shit that you can expect when you are drunk.
But except? #6 won the election and is #2 now? I'm straight up stymied I blame flited vodka.
But fucking christ #6! You won and now that lady wants to be your adorable sidekick! You've won it up old sonl Play old timey video games with her!
Remote control chairs! All the wireless phones you could want? And this lady who is suddenly extra canny & villainous.. Okay, I've misjudged? I've made bad decisions. She is a bad lady and you got SLAPPED. You loose at winning #6! I was wrong too.
Anyhow there's a naked crew of secret chiefs and 60's stage fighting. I don't even know about the pentultimate scene here?
Except that the #2 was all along the adorable lady! I admit to falling for everything in this episode. I can't explain to you at all what it's purpose was however. I guess that you lose by trying and that there is a particular type of lady who will cause me troulbe in life.
