(click here) TV-Reviews - The Prisoner Checkmate--Jailbreak! #6 tries to identify which of the Villagers are prisoners and which work for the authorities. He figures out that the arrogant ones work for the Village, and he gets some reliables together to stage a jailbreak. But his co-conspirators turn on him because they figure that with his arrogance, #6 must also work for the Village. Analysis: 1) There were a number of cute scenes in this episode, such as the game of human chess and when everyone froze during a Rover stroll. 2) But this episode made little sense; would all the Village agents be so transparent as to be arrogant? Wouldn't some of them pretend to be meek? 3) I also fail to understand how the other villagers thought #6 worked for the Village. He was organizing the escape; what did he have to gain by betraying them? And what did the co-conspirators have to gain by turning #6 over to #2, even if he did work for #2? 4) I enjoyed the scene were #6 smacked around the guys on the boat. But why couldn't he find the remote control on the boat and disable it?
