be seeing you.

Coming in late to the McGoohan mourning, but at least I come bearing goodies. First:

Patrick McGoohan: Son of a Bitch--an astute analysis as to the awesome prickitude of this great character actor. Now I definitely need to see DR. SYN, ALIAS THE SCARECROW if I can track down a copy. It's on DVD, yet Netflix does not yet seem to carry it! What the crap?

In related business, courtesy of another great misanthropic bastard, evandorkin:



Furthermore, anyone remember the 90's-tastic show REBOOT? I could never stand to watch it as a kid, but now I'm starting to realize that amid the terrible early CGI there were bits like... well, I can't help but admire any kids show that would do a whole episode of this:

As I only recently watched THE PRISONER from start to finish, I think that REBOOT clip helped finally wipe away any residual "what the FUCK?!" bitterness that held over from watching the last episode. See also, my initial reaction of the final TWIN PEAKS episode, which I now bloody love.

Ah, the good old days...

Haven't watched The Prisoner in years. Have the full set, though. :)

And I absolutely loved Reboot when it first came on. Unfortunately, it seems to have been around the time I stopped getting up on Saturday mornings for one reason or another... as I don't remember a whole lot about the episodes after a handful.

For example, I don't remember that clip at all.

And, y'know, I probably would if I had seen it. (And I probably would have been the only person in my class to get the joke.) :)

Apparently I really missed out. Mayhaps I'll catch up one of these days.

Really, I cannot help but giggle madly at every "GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY!"
