The ‘Modern Love Bureau’ is the modern way
for couples to meet in The Village, which is an interesting commentary for
today, because couples today are more likely to meet via dating websites on the
Internet, rather than going out and meeting people socially. But one thing the
‘Modern Love Bureau’ has is “Blink Match” technology, in other words matched
marriages!
Six is matched with 4-15, and they fall in love with each other. Yet the love Six feels for her has been manufactured by Two and 313 in a laboratory. This might be a new Village, a new Six, but they still come for him in the night when Six is asleep, three times in fact. Rather like the three times in the original series of ‘A B and C.’
Six’s love is generated through gene symmetry therapy. They scanned the brains of people who were likely to fall in love, they discovered, and Two said Six would like this, that the more there was gene similarity between people, the more they fell in love. And so they replicated by transplanting 4-15’s genes into Six! His feelings for 4-15 are manufactured! 313 doesn’t like what she’s doing to Six, but lets not pretend she has any choice in the matter.
There’s a touch of ‘Free For All’ about this episode, when 1891 of the “Modern Love Bureau” speaks to Six through his television set. Six presses the off button. Within seconds the doorbell to Six’s apartment rings. He goes to open the door to find 1891 standing on the threshold!
Holes are beginning to appear in The Village, Two tells his son 11-12 that it’s something to do with the weather, an ambiance anomaly. But really they are oblivion, and beyond all hope for anyone who falls into one of the holes. And yet, for anyone courageous enough to take a leap of faith………..they mean escape!
And so the episode of ‘Darling’ is reached in this screening of THEPRIS6NER , and is fair to say the weakest of the
six episodes, which arguably mirrors ‘Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling’ for
being the weakest episode in the original series. The modern Love Bureau uses
"blink match" technology to find anyone in The Village a partner.
1891 appears talking to Six about the Mordern Love Bureau through his televison
set. Six slams the TV and the picture goes blank. The next moment 1891 is
standing on the doorstep of Six's apartment. Now where have we seen such a
scene before? Holes begin to appear in The Village!
Six "What is it?"
Two "It's a nothing! It's oblivion! It's beyond all hope!"
147's daughter 832 fell down such a hole as this. Six said he would go into the hole and bring her back. But Six is weak, he has not the strength of his convictions. He is afraid to take that “leap of faith,” for if he had, Six would quickly discover that through the holes is escape! Or is there? perhaps not, seeing as when 4-15 dived into one of these holes, inNew York
This is one anomaly that runs through the entire series. It should be Helen who is dreaming The Village, and that does appear to be the case. Lying heavily sedated in a recliner in her apartment inNew York New York
Did I say this is the weakest episode of the series, I think I've reassessed my opinion on that score!
