The opening sequence of the Prisoner we know so well. Upon reaching London, the Prisoner drives his car into an underground car park, stops at a barrier and collects a parking ticket from the ticket dispenser - gets out of his car and storms through a pair of doors marked "Way Out" and along a darkened corridor to an office somewhere, and in a rage the Prisoner shouts at the man sat behind a desk as he hands in his letter of resignation.
Well the resignation sequence of THEPRIS6NER is not so different, but has simply been reinterpreted. Michael drives his car into an underground car park, stops at a barrier, swipes his Summakor access card, enters through a pair of doors marked "Way Out," and resigns his job! I wonder why for many fans of the original series, it's so difficult for them to see this similarity in THEPRIS6NER?
Okay, Michael didn't rant and rave at someone, he didn't even hand in a letter of resignation - he spray paints the word "RESIGN" on a window for everyone to see. Well there's nothing wrong in that. We are all individuals, and we all have out own ways of how we would resign our job. McGoohan showed us one way, and Jim Caviezel showed us another.
DAS - Be seeing you - if I don't resign first that is!
Snap Shot of The Village
The Village may no longer use Mini Mokes, but the former Princess hearse used in the original series is represented here in the form of a Daimler convertible for the funeral of 93, even though there isn't a body in the coffin!
