I am not a number, I am a free man!

Yay, finally some episodes of The Prisoner turned up on Usenet. The Prisoner is one of the best television series ever produced.

Re: I am not a number, I am a free man!

Out of the 17 episodes that aired, I have 11 of them, probably some of the most important ones. Towards the end of the series they ran some episodes out of order, and there's actually some controversy/disagreement over the "true" order, plot wise. Some people have analyzed the scripts line by line for clues about what might be referenced in order to piece them back together, you could actually interpret the story different ways depending on the order.

The files themselves are DivX, so they'll play in our DVD player but I dunno about yours. You could come over one night to watch them maybe.

Sure, but it would probably take a really long time and  there might be some quality loss in the transcoding.

Re: I am not a number, I am a free man!

Boss, all the episodes are on usenet, they just hadn't all been indexed by newzbin yet. We found the remaining ones and now have a complete set. Watched the first three last night.

According to Wikipedia there was a comic book mini-series written about events that took place twenty years after the story in the TV show. No. 6 is apparently insane and the last living resident in The Village.

Ok good. If it's the "Megaset" there's supposed to be a lot of rare footage and extras, including an alternate version of The Chimes of Big Ben. I'd love a copy when you get em.

Re: I am not a number, I am a free man!

I actually bought some dual layer discs the other day...$17 for a 5 pack, and I already ruined two trying to burn a DVD9 -_- We could rip em to MPEG-4 or XviD or something otherwise.

Re: I am not a number, I am a free man!

We've been watching three episodes a night, in broadcast order. The true order story-wise is up to personal interpretation.

If you still haven't seen The Prisoner, you can watch it online for free.

Re: I am not a number, I am a free man!

ooh, thanks for the link.

i cant help but daydream about what it would be like if other awesome people were sent to The Village... like Jean-Luc Picard.. or Doctor Who... the A-Team... Sherlock Holmes... James Bond (i doubt he'd do as well as McGoohan; he'd keep trying to fuck the women)... MacGuyver... Batman... Jason Bourne...

man, how great would a 'What If' series about 'The Prisoner' be??
