This episode was clearly supposed to be second, but maybe just as well it wasn't. I'm not saying it's poor, it's just very deep.

I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Dutton is an early version of No 6 and thinks he is doomed so we are to think this is no 6's fate if he doesn't reveal what he knows... Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

Now we are witnessing a trial which I do not totally comprehend.
*No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

OK, can anyone explain what that was actually about? Something about following the rules of the committee, while I did understand the bit where No 6 is now "dead" to the outside world, since they've faked his death. But beyond that?

Mwah ha ha ha. I think that's all that needs to be said. I wonder if this storyline (if that's what it is) will continue next time. Or should we look back at ep 3? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

OK, now we know that the contact with Nr 1 can not get broken. It seems a hopeless and mad making situation for Nr 6. I have the feeling we all will never solve the mystery. Thank you for your company and see you next time! *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

And all the wires are pulled out, but the telex machine still works! That was in many ways the most typical episode, I think - completely baffling. |
