Murder

So, I just spend the last three hours not doing my homework and instead thinking of ways to kill people.
Yup.
I am really getting into this spy stuff. Now that the class has advanced to phase three (or something like that) things are really getting interesting. I am even paranoid about what I am going to write here. I wouldn't want to give anything away now would I? It's frustrating in a way. I want to talk about this game with everyone, but I know that I can't do that. You can't trust anyone nowadays.
Earlier this week, we watched the second episode of "The Prisoner". It amazes me how much they can include in one episode, even if it is an hour long. They each seem like movies to me. I wonder if they would ever run out of possibilities. But then again, can you ever run out of possibilities when you are a spy? They are even going to get into mind control.
Patrick McGoohan simply amazes me. I love the way he does something very small, like raise an eyebrow a millimeter and he has you asking all of these questions. You immediately begin to wonder what he is thinking and it makes him seem ten times wiser. You think you know something in this show, and then McGoohan would tilt his head back slightly and you have no idea.

  1. McGoohan is awesome. He's one of the most interesting actors I've ever watched - vastly underrated. I'm glad you're observing his technique closely. A lot to learn.

    I'm also glad you're feeling some paranoia and suspicion - much like a real spy. Perhaps our spy game is actually a piece of theatre? Art?
