The Prisoner: Difference between revisions

** Another episode plays out as a Western with the same [[The Reveal|Reveal]], but in this case it was [[All Just a Dream]].

* [[Calvin Ball]]: Kosho, a game involving trampolines, padding, martial arts, and a pool of water that Number Six apparently plays twice a week. The rules can be guessed at somewhat, but it's mainly there to contribute to the general [[Mind Screw]] of the series.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Several. "Be seeing you!", "Why did you resign?", "I am not a number, I am a free man!", "Who is Number One?", etc.

* [[Celibate Hero]]: Number Six is {{spoiler|engaged}}.

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: The [[Grand Finale]] is so steeped in symbolism that it's effectively this.

* [[The Voiceless]]: The Butler.

** According to ''The Prisoner Video Companion'', the Village salute represents the sign of the fish, a Christian symbol.

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: Rover was initially meant to be a single entity, and had what was intended to be an on-camera "death". Though they'd already filmed a scene with him in "Once Upon a Time", the intent was always to reshoot it. When the show got canceled, they no longer had the budget to do so, and so it lends the appearance of Rover being a type of weapon that inexplicably disappeared for several episodes.

 

* [[All Just a Dream]] - {{spoiler|It turns out the Village is actually a sort of shared dreamspace on a level deeper than the subconscious. Which makes it all a dream, but not ''just'' a dream.}}

* [[Bottomless Pits]]

* [[Bury Your Gays]] - {{spoiler|909's death}}, arguably {{spoiler|11-12's}} as well.
