Ouuu they made a new version of the Prisoner! Been excited about this for awhile. It's not a full blown series, just a mini-series with six eps, but woot. It's the only thing on tv that I made plans to go out of my way to watch in a very long time. But now that it's over I just want to watch it again. I also want to watch the old school version again since it was pretty evil in its own right.
This version of the Prisoner didn't seem as dark to me for some reason. Maybe it's because I walked into it knowing what to expect a lot of the time, but they just didn't seem like they wanted to break six like they did in the older version. It was more like they wanted to make him happy instead of finding out what information he had.
I really liked the actor who played Six in the new version. He did well. Did a nice job of being confused and generally put off by being stuck in The Village. He wasn't quite as angry as the older Six. Old school Six was always frowning at someone when he wasn't being knocked senseless.
Two was played very well in this version as well :) He's so nice about being evil that you have to kinda dislike and like him all at once.
But I will be buying this when it comes out on DVD.
I'm also considering getting a hoodie. One that says "There is no out. There is only in." Mmm Village Logic reminds me of life.
