I wonder if I'll remember this one? I said that last time as well. Must make an effort to watch TP more often. And I am resisting the urge to google episode details cos it is like watching it the 1st time around...mind boggling! Edited by OneSparePart on 11-01-2024 19:44 Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Good evening all! I hadn't noticed that you were rewatching The Prisoner until Lorna told me so. I have seen this series long, long ago. It must have been 1968 or so, and I was impressed by its surrealistic weirdness. Do you mind that I join you? *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

I like those mysterious details in this series. Like such a poster with the words "Trust" and so on behind No6 when he sits at his table.

I'm watching the Internet Archive version and the sound isn't good. Makes it more of a mystery than usual.

That emergency buggy gives me an eerie feeling. And the crowd on the beach makes me wondering what purpose it is all about. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

The new learning method...the only problem being 'indelibly impressed'. Reminds me of Blake's indoctrination.

Now I was thinking: if one can put so much information into someone's head, wouldn't it be possible to pull out much info out of someone's head? Does the Professor have a reverse method?
