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.

Oh man, I LOVED LOVED LOVED Reboot! Early 90's CGI not always so hot aside, that show had more creativity and brilliant parodies/references in its pinky finger than most other shows have in a lifetime. That's a show I really wish would come out in a complete series DVD set. I loved that they got Gillian Anderson to voice Data Nully (snork) for their X-Files episode. And the second series finale? Probably the most traumatizing season ender I've ever seen for a show.
