So here’s a thanks to all of our commenters along with some of the best of what we’ve seen these past few months.
Let’s start with Donald who had a lot to say about how Stargate Universe can be saved:

Tonight on The Prisoner: Arrival / Harmony
November 15, 2009 by Cynthia
Tonight marks the series premiere of the much-talked about (around here, anyway) remake of the 60’s series The Prisoner.
The first two parts will air tonight, then two more parts for the next three days. Plan on paying attention because this isn’t a fluffy, action series. The Prisoner is loaded with twists and turns and clues are left like breadcrumbs all along the way.
Jim Caviezel stars as Number Six. We’ll travel with him to The Village and we’ll learn what happens when one tries to escape. But why would you want to? The Village is a lovely place where everyone is …read more

Prepare to Enter The Village
November 6, 2009 by Cynthia
They say his name is “Six.” He’s a resident of The Village and has lived there for some time. He has a brother. A life. Only, it’s not the one he remembers. Is “Six” delusional, or is there another world, another way to live outside of The Village?

Today at Comic Con, AMC aired their new nine minute trailer for the reimagined series The Prisoner. Didn’t see it? No problem, AMC has the trailer up on their blog. They also have a downloadable Prisoner Comic Book, so be sure to grab that, too.
