DrFruedienslip: Yes. However the more I look into it after all these years, the more I'm starting to see patterns matching Freud's Id/Ego/SuperEgo theory. 1 being the Id, and just about everything else in the Village being Ego. 6, 2 and 48 being "rebels" in that system. At least that's what I think, I'm just learning about Freud's theory now. After 6 takes 1's place though, I'm confused.
@DrFruedienslip: Or maybe, if I try to refine a bit more, #1 being the Id, the underground FallOut assembly (including the Judge) being the SuperEgo, the rest of the village officials/members being the Ego, and #6 fighting his way to to the Id? Not fully sure, but surely fascinating.
So it ends with Patrick McGoohan, a fat guy, a guy in a top hat and a midget shooting up the entire village with machine guns to the tune of "All You Need Is Love". And then they make tea and have a dance party. Why can't every show end like that?
@RANDCOUNTERMAND : So No. 1's eye gets closed right after he escapes in the upper hatch. Must mean that he no longer is in control of the village (and all the evil that it did represent under its rule). Now No. 6 is in control, and whoever is armed with a gun (probably to symbolise defending the previous rule of No. 1) is powerless against No. 6. And then All You Need Is Love plays. I guess it means: Self-Love wins against hate, or something like that.
@djsixottawa You can look at it another way' this whole series is about existentialism' rover is a symbol for conformity' number six doesnt want to be a number' he wants to be an individual' the big camera is the world looking back at him' defining the world view is what philosophical interpretation is all about' go to brainy quotes and look up past philosophers like Aristotle' Plato' Socrates' its all the same thing' self study or an intrnsic education'

You mean the prison bin laden was being held in? Well, the military does seem to really enjoy tragic irony.

Once Number One's eye gets closed after the unmasking, 2, 6 and 48 all seem invincible against everyone.
