Now that I've seen "The Prisoner"...

...I have to report that I’ve actually been exposed to enough of the memes present in the show that I don’t expect to become any weirder. (obsessivewoman and I would find ourselves commenting on the psychological warfare tactics used as episodes unfolded.) I suspect that much of the content of the show that I consider straightforward was new and groundbreaking back when the show was first airing.

weregamer, next time you’re over at Maine Coon Manor, remind me to show you the Miracleman story by Neil Gaiman (“Spy Story” in Miracleman: the Golden Age for you comics experts) that takes the same principle as the Village and turns it inside out.

Of course, having mentioned that, I had to go back and re-read it. I only detected one direct reference to The Prisoner in there.

Amanda caught one reference to The Prisoner in Babylon 5 of all places.
