Which is the best The Prisoner episode? (quarter-final)
Once Upon a Time
The Schizoid Man
Anyone still remembers hotvillagepoll? Today it's the day of the quarter-final. That means you get to see the worst propaganda ever written again. I don't know if I should feel bad about the small number of votes or happy that only a few people have to read my propaganda.
Other polls in this round can be found under #quarter-final tag on this blog.
Propaganda
Once Upon a Time: I lived and died many times during this episode. From the moment I saw it until today I still can't make sense of what happened to me. It was painful, but it was beautiful. And have I ever seen any other actor who is willing to give a TV audience that much of himself? No. Did I become his fan at that moment? Probably not in my mind, I was still resisting the fact that he could possess such a talent. But in my heart, I was his fan, yes.
The Schizoid Man: Impersonating an elite spy is a lot easier than you think. Everything you need is in the files. So when did it go wrong? It's Patrick McGoohan you are dealing with. As one of the greatest actors of his generation, he could make anyone look like a parody of themselves, including himself. We still don't really know who Number Six is beside that he was a spy. But McGoohan playing the role is enough to make it so unique you would feel like there can't be any other Number Six in the world.
