This episode raises one v...Interesting commentary. This episode raises one very confusing point for me ... all those interim Number 2's. They probably couldn't use bits of earlier actual Number 2's because they'd have to pay them higher rates than the bit-players they have here, but now we have to wonder how many of the Number 2's so far were "real" Number 2's and how many were interims. If all the previous ones were real, that indicates a fairly large gap in time between those Number 2's and this one. In my own episode order, this one comes in seventh, which means it's fairly early in the process, and so THIS Number 2 being away and all of the Number 2s so far being interims is entirely possible. I'm tempted to place this episode even earlier than 7th in my personal viewing order, because of that, but I'm not sure how early. Maybe even 4th, after only Arrival, Free for All, and Checkmate. This episode reveals many aspects of Village life quite well, as you pointed out, and so do those others, so placing it early makes sense to set up the rest of the series.<br />But that's an argument for another time.<br />Another fine review.<br />Be seeing you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210836624673304095noreply@blogger.com
