THEPRIS6NER

   Schizoid, the thing I like about this episode is the fact that both Six and two-times-Six wear identical clothes, so it makes it difficult to tell who is Six, and who is two-times-Six, unlike that of ‘The Schizoid Man’ of the original series.
   And yet there is a “tell,” Six has a cut on his left cheek. So which Six is buying a knife from 37927-the Shopkeeper at the Village Shop? Is it Six, or two-times-Six? Well in fact both. In the episode itself it’s two-time-Six who buys a knife from the Village Shop with which he intends to kill Two. The two pictures here are taken from a deleted scene in which Six also buys a knife. But of course 37927 denies selling two-times-Six a knife, because he doesn’t sell knives, as it’s not allowed to sell knives. Just as it’s not allowed for the Shopkeeper to sell cigarettes!

Be seeing you
