This is only funny if you've watched The Prisoner.

Watching the opening credits of The Prisoner with giggglius, who has never seen it before

giggglius: So why does he quit his job, is it just because he's mad?

metallian: ...

metallian: Just watch the show.

But she needs INFORMATION! :D

I am still giggling at this post, and I may never stop.

:-P

So sue me!

I meant angry, btw, not mad as in crazy.

hee. :) It's funny because it's a perfectly reasonable question to ask if you haven't seen the show.

I guess the best analogy would be if you were watching The Usual Suspects and the first time that somebody mentioned Keyser Soze, asking "who's that?" :)

[giggglius]

I saw the Usual Suspects for the first time a few months ago. But I heard about Kaiser Sose for the first time in Diana Peterfreund's book Secret Society Girl. I didn't catch the reference until just now, cause I didn't catch the name when I saw the movie.

giggglius pretty much summed up the series just by watching the opening credits. Intuitive!

I know, right? And there's really no good way for me to answer. Truly, questions are a burden to others, and answers are a prison for oneself.
