"Another bomber flyover." It do in fact be like that sometimes.

It's almost like you're close to an Air Force base or something. :p

"I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered! My life is my own!" Words feared by any authoritarian movement, doesn't matter the economic system. Edit: Only became aware of this series because of Ricardo Montebalm's "Golden Age of Video"

21:41 A point missed is that it is never clear who is a Prisoner in the Village and who is a Warder (guard). Everybody but The Butler wears summertime clothes. We only know who is whom at the end of a story or if the plot demands it. There is also the element that there may be multiple Villages in widely-spaced places to confuse any escape by a person as capable as Number 6 (look at the alternate version of "The Chimes of Big Ben" for where I came up with that idea.) The place is the Adult Summercamp from Hell.

I urge you to actually read some trans theory, or at least some trans writers, discussing trans issues

Did someone say heresy? Over here, inquisitor!

For a modern day perspective of the danger of selffulling prophecy: Israel (whether you support it or not, my point is issues like the third temple carry nuclear war level risk, that's no exaggeration)

We wouldn’t have trans kids. Nuff said.

Saw this as a kid when it aired in the US and loved it. It was challenging and I found that the best thing about it.

I loved the show so much I bought it on apple movies. They canceled the show after the first episode. I remember reading about this. The writer stated that he thought that the network wasn’t ready for this biblical style and felt that they purposely set him up for failure. Plus the time slot was weird. It was like Sunday at 10pm. Viewership was never what the network wanted. I honestly believe that they did set the writer up. They wanted an HBO style drama for 1/2 the price. I think it would have been successful if the network would have made it a prime time show and let it run for more than one season. But that’s just my opinion.

Yeah booooiiiiii. Am early or late?

Love the videos so far

Well you see.. the soviets hand completely subverted the US by the time the second is released.

"There are no good guys in warhammer 40k" Humanity: solider fighting to keep his family from being murdered and raped Enemy of Humanity: rape, murder, subjugation, and slavery. Reason they aren't good guys: ThEy dOnT comPrOMisE Or REasON wiTh tHier enEmIEs. Jokes aside the reasoning they have to say that is because it's too dissident in its way of thinking and how hard it goes aginst the status quo of being anti human.

Used my replicator rations to make a fleshlight.

"You heard the chimes? Did you count them?"

Yeah.. Ya Can't Argue With Opening Comments... Becoming Today's Reality...... Sad

Used to catch the endless reruns of it on sci fi channel back when it launched.

The only thing I can see valuable about Picard's winery is the idea of unreplicated, authentic wine... and then I see they're just teleporting the grapes?

Ya know Brown-Coats love a good lost cause.

I was thinking more of a time leased system, with credits being a unit of energy over time or a basic contract like a rent or service agreement in which a person 'stewards' a property or item of value over a set period before it gets handed off to another party or renewed under a new agreement

Much like 1984 was NOT a satire of the Soviet Union, just mistaken as such. I think the prisoner is also actually a parody of the Western regime.

A performative election of which no real change can come from??? That would never happen in real life

it's terrible really how relevant the Prisoner has become in the UK now.

A show I did not understand at all while growing up, and then rewatching at age 29 having moved out and spent half a soul crushing decade running the ratwheel of the modern world- I felt I understood it far more than I ever wanted to.

You mean like some of y'all will come to the realization how little they actually know about anything. Some go completely power mad; others will just drift through life? Shocking!

Bashed Krugman you sir ... i tip hat

I think you've just helped me articulate my problem with interpretive, open-ended works: they pose questions to the audience that, as abstract human artifices, *can't* have answers whereas in the real world you simply *don't* always have the answers. This is a small but very important distinction! The thing I like about open endings, of course, is that they're often nowhere near as disappointing as the majority of concrete ones.

Badass I was trying to tell my friends about this show once but idk they just weren’t into it, I’m so glad you covered it

oh shut up.

Wrong, it was a totalitarian state. Get a clue, dude.

Huxley-Orwell mashup

It’s clear what McGoohan the reactionary was getting at. His libertarian self was “already” sensing in the 1960s the intrusion of a bureaucratic “socialist state” into the poor downtrodden sports-car driving, cocktail-drinking stewardess-screwing life and he wanted none of it. Dirty egalitarian working class people. Where do they get off? Ironic then isn’t it that it’s always been the capitalists that abuse the state mechanisms for their own interests … and they certainly have no interest in limiting the “life-style” abuses of the likes of McGoohan’s proxy in the Secret Agent / The Prisoner / No. 6. Pace Matt Gaetz for attorney General.

Stargate command would like to know why you chose to record this while on an away mission.

My favorite Xenos are the Necrons because they are so intensely "human" in all there stories.

I would say that there is one issue with the Pathologized Dissent. And that it is, quite simply, true that those inclined to seek positions of power in a democratic system often DO have certain pathological disorders. Something that is compounded by the fact that the talking heads, who are on a cocktail of SSRIs and mood stabilizers (at best), can still tell you both the absolute unvarnished truth and absolute unvarnished lies in the same breath, with the same expression, and, due to either natural or medically induced sociopathy, not so much as blink. Without straying into the territory of Uncle Ted, modern society manufactures it's own neurosis and markets them in a bottle.

To my mind, the only time television aspired to be more than mindless entertainment was with "The Prisoner." It is a thinking person's program, open to multiple interpretations and circumspection of one's life. Right now, to me, it feels more relevant than it did 60 years ago.

Despite the denial of the evangelical atheists, God doesn't FORCE Himself on anyone who doesn't want Him. Most classic movies don't need a remake, that's what makes them classic!

You remind me of a friend of mine, Rick Partlow. He's a Sci Fi writer and all around good dude and smart guy. He moved from Central Florida to Wyoming not long ago. Keep up the fantastic work, sir!

Would you be open to looking at the Veil Riders Series?

I enjoyed the book as a teenager. Time to read it again

National Socialists were and are socialists. I really don't care what Marxists have to say about it anymore, frankly because I'm tired of their constant lying and deliberate misdirection.

At the 7:00 mark, in all fairness, the United States in the early 1900's made certain diagnosis of mental illness a forcibly incarcerable offense. The CIA made use of hallucinations in interrogations and invented LSD.

I wanted to put the prisoner on for my wife, but this week I found out she's never seen V. This has to be corrected ASAP. Fortunately I have it on disc.

At the 4:00 mark, if you understand and believe about the power and influence of Freemasonry, you could draw the same political conclusions.

Just found your channel and I'm 4 videos deep. I love what you're doing. Keep it up!

@2:42, Okay, the other thing the Confederates were fighting over was white supremacy, and the only time you hear southerners not fighting for slavery are deserters, defectors, or Unionist loyalists in the south, such as Samuel Clemens, who is better known as Mark Twain.

Max is like the window in which we place ourselves to spectate the other characters and thier story. It's like Max's story was already covered and every other movie after is someone else's story.

Just heard of this, wild

I dont think I've seen a youtuber this profoundly REAL in a long long time
