It's worrying to think how much of this did come out of McGoohan's twisted little mind.


Yup, this was very much his episode! Writer and director. His episode are always off their head.

They have to keep having new #2's because #6 out-foxes them every week. Can't imagine they'd let a failed #2 carry on.

That revelation of the new no 2 was a callous act. Poor no 6

For me, the bonkers quality makes it a higher mark ... 9

Thanks everyone for your company. The Prisoner resumes in 3 weeks, while we have a jolly little episode called Blake next Thursday, since it's December 21st which is Blake day!

Up to this point it seemed weird and annoying but this made it tough and more dangerous

I've gone for 8, because while it was stylistic, it didn't make much sense in places.

, note!

it's all great fun, even the slow-motion fighting, and it still makes zero sense.

It definitely felt more pointed. 6 was seen to be in proper danger

I don't think I'm going to worry about #6 unless he starts smiling....

I'm not too keen on all this giving episodes marks though. We don't do it with Blake's 7, after all. And it militates against seeing the whole thing as an organic whole.

Although with Avon, the people around him should worry when he IS smiling!

Lol you beat me to it. But it also reveals a little of what we, the viewers, like or dislike on a personal level. I don't find it effects how I feel about it as a whole.
