Featured review
Some Bad Choices, Certainly
Number Six takes an incredible journey away from the village. He ends up in London, back to the home in which he lived. A Mrs. Butterworth is living in his old home and willingly aids him in his quest to return to his former life. His route to freedom is quite a tour de force where he risks life and limb to return to England. He must overcome a couple of pirates and take their boat, almost being shot in the aftermath. There are so many coincidences and things work out in such a pat way, that at times it seems to be too good to be true. After so many things having disappointed him in the past, it bothers me a bit that he is so trusting of authority. I also need to wonder how everything could be so precisely orchestrated, not just in the village, which is a massive undertaking, but in London, where chance seems to play such a significant part. Finally, there is a question of why. In past episodes there is an end game. This one is abject cruelty. I guess it was important for him to become nothing return to his number.
