We reach the final episode of The Prisoner as Number Six comes face to face with rebellion, authority, and a curious sort of praise for his private war in the name of individuality. But who's running the Village, anyway? And what will Number Six do now that he's won? He HAS won, hasn't he? Join us for a long discussion of the contentious, curious final episode: FALL OUT.

Sometimes, when The Prisoner plays with the format of the show, it produces some interesting results - results that can give you a new lens with which to view the show. Sometimes it results in an episode like this one - a spy farce with uneven budget, odd performances, and even odder costume choices. Join us to find out how Number Six deals with THE GIRL WHO WAS DEATH  Next time: ONCE UPON A TIME. --- http://the-prisoners-dilemma.com Music by Devin Nelson. http://devindecibel.bandcamp.com Art by Si Sweetman. https://sifsweetman.carrd.co/

The Prisoner! You know, the show about spies. Right? Or is the spy story simply one context of many? A genre that serves to surround the tale, a medium that serves to surface the message - that any of us might be made prisoners at any time, any where? Maybe even in a place far from here, in the frontier, where the might made right at the end of a shiny revolver. Join us for a trip to the old West in LIVING IN HARMONY.
