Mission 101 Update... SCORE! Done it!
Anyway, back to The Prisoner, and boy did that finish with a huge "Huh?" The last few episodes go off on a bit of a tangent, compared to the fairly solid "mind-****" of the earlier part of the series, pretty much completely abandoning The Village for outside settings that always end up leading back to Portmerion in the end, and several times without the classic title sequence, complete with "That Dialogue Exchange". It's almost like watching a different series - or watching the two seasons of Space: 1999.
If I was counting this as a serious review, I'd say that the last few episodes drag the series as a whole down from being "mildly classic" to, say, "interesting, but not entirely enthralling". A 7/10, I'd say.
Meanwhile... I'm nearly done with the Brighthawk "interlude". If I can just complete the final sequence, I could start the week with a clear slate, and an opportunity for that writing break I'd had in mind before I started this "Episode"...
96 - Watch the original version of The Prisoner in its entirety (17/17)Pity the same can't be said for tonight's CSI New York - fell asleep AGAIN.
