‘Twasn’t me that said it. You’d NEVER see me saying anything like that about The Prisoner, which, while I wouldn’t say is Sci Fi in the strictest sense, is on my list of the Best Television Shows Ever Made. There are a few episodes I don’t particularly care for (on the strength of the first couple of episodes, star/writer/producer Patrick McGoohan was asked to essentially double the length of the series, and added several “stand-alone” episodes that didn’t further the overall plot of the series, and several of the episodes were broadcast out-of-order), but those that work, work WONDERS.
Sad, if you’re going to continue viewing this absolutely AMAZING show, keep us updated. I’m curious to see what your reaction will be to the final couple of episodes. Reaction was so strong against them that McGoohan had to flee the country. [img]http://www.sadgeezer.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
And Dalek, do you like *anything* that smacks of anti-establishment sentiment or subverts the “rules” of television/film? Kee-ripes…
