Virginia! Oh Virginia! How far thou have fallen and are desecrated!
That is how I felt as I watched Southerners celebrating the election results in Virginia. Has the state that produced Robert E. Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson gone so far under the spell of multiculturalism that Virginians can fall for politicians who attack Southern traditions and Southern monuments.
The episode when McGoohan was off filming a movie and needed a stand-in…literally!
One of the more literary and artistic of the episodes we have discussed so far, this one features allusions to Cervantes, Bizet, and Goethe.
In this episode Dr. Fleming and Stephen discuss: Why questions are a burden to others and a prison for oneself. Why it’s not I who am asking, but the committee. Why Bo Peep is a hireling in this story. Why Caesar, Napoleon, and Elizabeth I make for an excellent Kangaroo Court. To prepare for our next episode in the series, watch “Checkmate”
In this episode Dr Fleming and Stephen follow #6 back to his flat in London, which has a new occupant that seems to be a good Samaritan. As always, things are not as they appear.
