TV-Reviews - The Prisoner
Free For All--funny, but made no sense
The new #2 persuades #6 to run for his office in an election to be held. #2, bored perhaps, goes along, but in the end gets beaten up by a bunch of striped shirted goons and gets smacked around by his "tweat tweat" Russian traitor assistant.

Analysis:
1) Why is it that in EVERY episode the woman who befriends #6 is always a spy?

2) I don't understand how getting him to run for #2 could get him to tell them why he resigned. It was a fun storyline to watch, but made no sense in terms of the overall purpose of the story.

3) What was that business all about of watching the triangle and ball go into the shadow of #6's head? I was out to lunch on that one.

4) They drugged #6 up to go through with the election; but did they ever, even once, try drugging him to get him to tell them why he resigned?

5) What were those guys in the cave doing sitting around the Rover?

Forget the circle and the triangle--If they can read the man's mind, why not just read it and find out why he resigned? I think that probably it all made sense to McGoohan at the time. Remember, this was back when he was drinkin'. What sounds deep and makes sense drunk usually isn't so much so after sobering up.
