WOW - I was completely blown away by how many responses this thread has
recieved ... I finally reached the end of the series, "Fall Out" for
the second time (the first time being years ago during a different time
in my life) and I have to just rant that this is one of the most
absurd, most profoundly postmodern series ever conceived ... although
at first glance you might think it is dopey, those who delve deeper
have got to admit that Patrick MacGoohan was onto something very, very
forward-thinking, next-level shit!!!
Thanks for making this a fun thread ... and ... be seeing you ...
PS if you're a California resident, vote against Arnold Schwarzenegger
for the New Number Two.
