I've never seen the original but all these reviews so far are making me want to check it out.

Holy fuck, don't go on Ian McKellan's official site, almost had a heart-attack when I saw this:

"I have filmed a brief contribution to open Mika's latest stage show which tours quite soon and his site will tell u where. "

u. U.

Gandalf saying 'u' - WHAT THE FUCK.

 

[gdt]

On now.

Edit: It certainly has this weird, frenetic vibe running through this first bit.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I don't know. I'm enjoying it so far.

 

[The Elite]

I'm liking it but this bullshit semi-spoilery shit during the commercial break has to stop.

He is also diddling the poolboy, your precious Gandalf.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Cinematography is fucking outstanding. What was up with that commercial teaser though? wtf.

 

[gdt]

It took a bit to get settled. Been good since then.

Agreed.

Yeah, I thought so too.




I was out of the room the whole break.

What are you guys talking about?

 

[Cardon]

I just wish Caviezel would be more angry like McGoohan was. Other than that I'm enjoying it so far.

 

[The Elite]

I've seen hints of this so far but he needs to be a little more pissy.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Unfortunately he's noted as never actually seeing the original, so he wouldn't know :-/.

I don't think he could pull off full blown angry though. This undercurrent of spite is working for him imo.

It's pretty excellent so far.

 

[Yaweee]

I too am liking it so far. The original series was pretty great, but it had its own fair share of problems.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

He really oughta see the waitress for the plant she is, like when he called out the doctor.

 

[Count Dookkake]

McGoohan's simmering rage is epic.

 

[The Elite]

Holy fuck!!! Stop these fucking spoiler commercial bits. Must remember to change channel when they come on!!

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

McGoohan's simmering rage is epic.

It's just totally unattainable. No one could ever manage it, so I'm glad Jesus isn't trying.

They're seriously pimping the Prisoner in commercial breaks for the Prisoner.

 

[Stoney Mason]

I like that it has a surreal feel to it. That was my one absolute requirement.

 

[gdt]

Holy fuck!!! Stop these fucking spoiler commercial bits. Must remember to change channel when they come on!!

Actually that was announced over the loudspeaker earlier. By Two.

If they took out all this bullshit, they could fit another commercial. Srsly!!! Advertising dollars FTW!

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

He's talking about the pre-commercials NEXT ON THE PRISONER stuff that I have absolutely no idea why it's there. Like telling people what happens next is supposed to make them continue watching....?

 

[gdt]

That Lucy is hot stuff.

 

[gdt]

Boy, Cavieziel cannot do angry.

 

[The Elite]

Giant

Spoiler

water bottle monster thingy

rules!

Boy, Cavieziel cannot do angry.

He's angry but not as angry as I am at these stupid Palm Pre commercials! Who the fuck thought those were a good idea?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

AMC is really fucking concerned we'll stop watching if they don't remind us what we're watching every 30 seconds.

Seriously though, who directed this? The cinematography is some of the best I've seen in any medium this year.

 

[Cardon]

That ending was decent. Overall I'm pretty pleased with things so far and it helps that the show is beautiful to look at.

Still another hour to go. Don't turn that dial!

I think they are concerned that its a bit confusing and slow (which are good qualities imo) so they have to try to hook the current ADD audience mindset that exists.

I'll just have to keep the remote in my hands as I watch or download the torrents sadly in the future. But so far I've quite liked the episode.

 

[Yaweee]

Yeah, just to remind people, it is two hours tonight, two hours tomorrow, and two hours on Tuesday.

 

[Stoney Mason]

Thx. Did not know that. I didn't even know it was 2 hours tonight.

 

[The Elite]

Yeah, just to remind people, it is two hours tonight, two hours tomorrow, and two hours on Tuesday.

Holy shit. I had no idea there was more tomorrow and Tuesday. When does the series end?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Yeah, just to remind people, it is two hours tonight, two hours tomorrow, and two hours on Tuesday.

Aw jeez, I hope they replay it tomorrow night, I've got work til 9:30.


They probably will.

 

[gdt]

I'm thinking he grew up in the Village, escaped, then was brought back in.

Edit: People, it ends on Tuesday.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Trying to give him a family.:lol :lol Sure thing, pal.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

"Call it the edge of the world." Aw <3


"I think we're done here." :lol that was deliciously snide.

 

[The Elite]

Say it like you mean it Jim!


I AM NOT A NUMBER!

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Whoa shit, a grenade. #2 don't fuck around.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

More with the wraps:lol

 

[Cardon]

I like how things are slowly getting crazier.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I know, right? This is awesome so far.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I like how there's only one terrible soap opera on TV at all times. :lol :lol Shows how much these people are missing.

 

[Cardon]

Hmm, the new #6 may not be a spy but his job does sound interesting and at least is in tune to why he may be in the Village. So far I'm digging episode 2.

Yea, definitely reflective of his relationship with #2. Stands more to reason why he chose him.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

#6 just crushed #70. Swagger on a hundred thousand TRILLION.



BREAKING BAD COMMERCIAL, WHAT WHAT

 

[gdt]

oooh.

Nice Breaking Bad promo.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

No more bullshit, lady. Fess up.


This flashback is really well written, the way it unfolds.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

The towers things is ridic. Don't think it was in the original series.


"Oh no, my family!" :-/

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

The taxi conveniently breaking down.:lol


This soundtrack is dope.


6 is tripping balls right now.
