You put that very well. And it is ...Hello Arno,<br /> You put that very well. And it is all too easy, and difficult to believe in. It would seem that there is nothing Number 6 cannot do, his abilities stretching as far as hypnotism! Certainly there is paranoia in The Village regarding unmutualls, much in the same way there was paranoia in America regarding Communists in the 1950's.<br /> There is no tongue-in-cheek, and I've never been happy about how nimble Number 2 is as he runs up the steps to the Green Dome pursued by the mob, what's more he's lost weight! All too clearly that's not John Sharp!<br /><br />Very kind regards<br />David<br />BCNUDavid Stimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196038086564981619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036104775563265647.post-5260721904488096992014-06-25T08:24:53.133+01:002014-06-25T08:24:53.133+01:00There's always been something about this scene...There's always been something about this scene, the resolution of the episode, that I disliked. All's too easy, No. 86 hypnotised by No. 6, denouncing No. 2 as unmutual. And - woop! - the crowd is behind him, whether he can eventually escape or not hardly matters. And what's worse, it isn't meant to be tongue-in-cheek, is it. No, I don't buy this trick. It's the fundamental weakness of the script that spoils this episode which otherwise has its remarkable traits. Such as the (first and only time) displaying of the Village community as a very sinister citizenship. The sense of paranoia made palpable. - BCNU!nr6dehttp://www.nummer6-theprisoner.denoreply@blogger.com
