My brain's birthday gift to me last night was a full episode of The Prisoner. It was pretty incoherent, which TBH is to be expected and I'm just gonna take as evidence that it was from the late-run of the show. :p
I don't remember a whole lot, probably because I spent most of it sedated by various No. 2's, but I did get to help a Northern European scientist escape, and I did get to fly around in a personal gyrocopter. Also, the architecture was... *chef kiss*
I didn't have a number, which is a tragic oversight. I love being numbered, indexed, etc.!
The dream was definitely a reaction to watching about 15 minutes of "Once Upon A Time" last night, and giving up because No. 6's White Male Libertarian Protagonist Syndrome was getting to be way too much for me.
There's probably a lengthy rant in there for another day, about how he was NEVER really in any substantial danger, the odds were ludicrously tilted in his favor all along, the rules that kept everyone else from useful resistance were CLEARLY suspended for him and him alone because he had some special privileged status... and the show was CONSTANTLY bumping up against becoming fully aware of this, but turning away from the bare truth at the last moment.
Hell, maybe when Parallax is done, I'll attempt a fix-fic about it someday. I think The Prisoner's reached its stage in the Bulldada Cycle where it's overdue for a good revisionist undermining anyhow.

You may not have gotten indexed, but did they send that attack balloon after you? Because that thing seems fun.
