R.I.P. Patrick McGoohan


Given all of the thousands of channels of media, there are too damn few rogues and rebels with the courage and brilliance of Patrick McGoohan. Not a number....

Well, I don't really care about Montalban to be honest...

I'm not sure I'll ever forgive him for the last two episodes of "The Prisoner," though.

You do know the story (partly) behind those last two episodes, CC? Series wasn't originally meant to end at 17 episodes, although honestly, I do like the surreality of most of it.

Also keep in mind the cultural context of the day, and yes, I'm old enough to have watched (and enjoyed) the series during it's first run
