Although a number
of episodes could fit into more than one category, there are three episodes
which do not fall into any of the above categories. ‘Dance of the Dead,’ which
although has nods towards revolt and resistance, contains no plan, by either
Number Six or Number Two, no enterprise formed or denied. There is a plan in
‘Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling,’ yet resistance is thin on the ground, and
what they did to Number 6 was revolting. And really that’s as far as this
episode gets to any of the three broad categories.
‘Living In harmony,’
although there is a plan, resistance is only found in The Man with No Name as
he resists the Judges efforts to make
him work for him as Sheriff, to wear a sheriff’s badge, and a gun. And later
perhaps escape, when The Man With No
Name and Cathy plan to leave Harmony together. Yet again these are only vague
nods towards to of the three categories.
It is possible to
add a forth category, that of Survival, which would include; Many Happy
Returns, Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling, and The Girl Who Was Death. The
Prisoner, and his survival against the elements, as he sails on his voyage of
discovery. ZM73, surviving as himself. And finally Mr. X, who fights to survive
against the attacks of The Girl, who is trying to kill him.
Be seeing you
