And yes if the "legal" successor is already placed in The Village ready to take his rightful place as Chairman of The Village, why the need for the other interim No.2's? Perhaps you are right, perhaps they were contrived, but I think it all comes down to a question of time, how long the retiring No.2 was away from The Village on leave. If it was a week or two weeks leave, then there would be no need for more than one interim No.2 I'd have thought. With regard to the "new" No.2, I wonder just how long he was in the job after Appreciation Day?<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-24634560375948340422014-05-11T15:08:36.545+01:002014-05-11T15:08:36.545+01:00Well, you're right, I missed that.

I admit it's a bit contrived as he should have been aware of the rightful procedures that anyone on top of the Village hierarchy would have to stick to. However, there was his "legal" successor already waiting to take his seat. Why then would there have been 2, 3 or more interims? For how much time? - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.numer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-72866687884748135782014-05-11T09:57:03.756+01:002014-05-11T09:57:03.756+01:00Hello Arno,
Well yes that's a possibilty, e...Hello Arno,<br /> Well yes that's a possibilty, except I see a flaw in your thinking. The fact that the retiring No.2 himself said that "Every interim Number Two who has served here while I've been on leave, has been cautioned by you." No.6 could see that the excepts had been doctored, but that's no proof that the interim No.2's were actors who were filmed as No.2 saying the one line in the right way. They could have been proper interim No.2', but speaking to someone else, an assistant for example. An assistant might say "They're going to cut your term in ofice," to which No.2 might respond "They're going to do what?" Which is my take on the situation. But then thinking about it again, what you write could still apply even then, seeing as how it's No.2 they're trying to convince, and me trying to convince myself!<br /> I suppose it comes down to personal persepctive. For myself I like to think that those interim No.2's we see on the screen are what they appear to be, seeing the large turn-over of No.2's. And besides, one of them has a familiar look, he reminds me of a former No.2, wouldn't you say?<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-29813922794912526452014-05-11T08:57:45.663+01:002014-05-11T08:57:45.663+01:00We cannot be 100% sure that the "interim"...We cannot be 100% sure that the "interim" No. 2 we see are or were actually No. 2s. Because it was the successor in office who set up the scheme. He mayhave hired actors for the edited version of film No. 6 got to see. - BCNUnr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
