    The Prisoner

    I am afeeared that a significant portion of today's youth would be AGHAST at the Prisoner t.v. series

    I wore in my home made version of No. 6's signature blazer for "costume" day at the end of the semester.



    The costume day is a thing that my particular campus does to lighten the spirits. We also have free food giveaways and photo-booths in addition to a "job fair", etc. . The finals are, to say the least...rigorous... , they are all certification finals in a variety of bio tech from "just nursing" to, this last semester "microbiology / recombinant DNA" studies. We did the "crime scene analysis" stuff starting a few years ago.

    Anyway...

    a) The younger ones had absolutely no clue. But, when I told them what it was about part of them gave me "that" look ( these were the ones from "main campus" which is MUCH more dignafiddle... we are just a lowly bio tech campus. ) lol

    b) the MUCH older ones actually remembered after a little prodding.

    My, my, my...how things have completely reversed themselves.

    Remember it well. Prophetic.

      I wish I had the series on my backup drive...

      It doesn't download. Appears to have some serious protection around those files...

        I have fond memories of "The Prisoner". It was a 'must watch' when I was a young lad of 14. The concept was so clever and quirky. Kept me guessing the whole way through. I wish they would repeat it on TV here, it would be interesting to see what the younger generation would make of it.

        I watched the remake of it a few years ago and I thought it wasn't that bad ... but nothing like as good as the original.

            Sure would. Most snowflakes would not face the reality that they are being manipulated by the official narrative.
