The Kid is a trigger happy, homicidal manic. The story goes that the clothes he wore, were taken from the victims he killed. But what turned the Kid into such a killer? Perhaps as a boy he underwent some traumatic event that tilted his brain. Perhaps his mother and father were attacked and killed by Indians. His mother raped and killed, and his father pegged out on the ground, covered in molasses, and left to be eaten by ants. But of course that's mere speculation, save for the Kid wearing the clothes of his victims. That was supposed by Director David Tomblin, scriptwriter Ian Rakoff, and Frank Maher who produced the story for the Prisoner episode Living In Harmony.

Hi David,
ReplyDeletePerhaps the Kid was like some serial killers who keep something from those that they killed...or even ATE them...
One never knows whats going through another's brain!

Dear Karen,
ReplyDeleteI’ve always thought The Kid wears the clothes of those he had gunned down. Why he doesn’t speak might be put down to some traumatic event when he was a child.

Be seeing you
Hi David . .
ReplyDeleteAnother aspect ( or 2 )of the "Kid" being speechless is that being unable to speak would be frustrating . ..I have a cousin who has aphysia due to a stroke...and she can get extremely angry at times .
Another aspect . ..was the KID speechless because he was the youngest person . ..who was to be seen and NOT HEARD????
