"There were a lot of complaints about the last episode of the original series, because the people wanted answers, and they were not given answers and it was very disturbing in that way." Those are the words of scriptwriter Bill Gallagher, who wanted to achieve something like that, but to pull the threads into one solution, one resolution, but also for that to have all the disturbing qualities that the original had. Bill Gallagher wanted it to be provocative, I think he succeeded in that.
Certainly the idea behind The Village is to give people a second chance, so you can understand the goodness behind the motivation in setting up a place like The Village. A place to take all the broken people and fix them, whether they want it or not. A place to fix murderers, drug dealers, rapists etc, etc. 147 was a violent man living in New York New York New York
The series is constructed of a series of challenges given to Six by Two in order to assimilate Six, and each time Two seems to fail. In The Village Six must assimilate or die! The original series was also made up by a series of challenges, or ordeals, which No.2 sometimes succeeded in, but generally failed in. So really in this regard there is not that much difference between the two series. At the end of the original series Number Six was offered ultimate power, and rejected it. In this series Six was anointed as Six, because it was 147 who anointed Six as "The One."
The new Two, pictured here with 313, wants to do the right thing, to make a better Village. 313 agreed to her part on the grounds that she would be released from The Village once Six had found a "better way," in having found a new Two to follow in Two's footsteps, to make an even better Village. Because that is what Two wanted Six to do. So why not give Six The Village. Six would no longer be a challenge, but an asset, an opportunity to take The Village/Summakor forward. Because the truth of the matter is, Michael is the One!
