DISCLOSURE: This posting just may be too esoteric – but any fans of
Patrick McGoohan’s cult classiv 1967 TV series THE PRISONER will get the connection immediately.
I ran across this old TIME cover on a site taking note of Ford’s passing.
Something about it caught my attention….
Was TIME trying to tell us something? Be seeing you!
Read on for more info on the series. It’s STILL worth watching, and trying to figure out – some even think it has relevance to the evolution or devolution (As in Devo? Never mind…that’s another trip.) of current life.
The Prisoner was one of the most original dramas ever aired on television. Brainchild of producer and star Patrick McGoohan, the series portrays a top-secret government agent who resigns his position only to be immediately abducted and whisked away to an enigmatic, isolated seaside community known only as “The Village.” Confined in this resort-like, yet The Prisoner and Guardian Rover sinister town, Number 6 (the new “identity” given to him by his captors) soon learns that no one can be trusted, and that those in charge (whose governmental and political affiliations are unknown) will take extreme measures to break him and learn the reasons behind his resignation.
