thehefnerComing 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,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

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.

Date: 2009-01-24 12:33 am (UTC)for a young CS major it was fabulous.
You should have seen me when 3rd season got underground-distributed on VHS (with Mainframe's blessing) in the US about a year before it officially aired. Squeeing fangirl at its finest. I have the Season 4 DVD, of course.
I've been meaning to rewatch that ep after I've seen the original. It was a little surreal to do it in the other order, even knowing what it's supposed to be.
