Worst opening line in a piece of college ad mail:

"Suddenly you're thinking about college."

No kidding, Poirot. Needless to say it went into the trash bin, and I've completely ruled out St. Mary's College of In-the-Middle-of-Nowhere, California.

And on a more cheery note: Yay for February Break! Surprisingly I actually got quite a bit of work done and binged on watching good movies and TV. Tee hee! And I'm near broke now, but I got the DM/SA Megaset and am having a marathon of sorts. Happy happy joy joy!

And huzzah for Mancini! I got two soundtracks of his while at my favorite Borders on Earth, the store in Union Square. the Pink Panther is even better than I remember it to be, though the record producers had the bad taste to translate most of "It Had Better Be Tonight" into English. Gah! I was really tempted to bash out my eardrums after listening to the super-cheesy translated lyrics. Why oh why couldn't they have left it in Italian so that it sounds exotic and beautiful? The barbarians! Peter Sellers's liner notes, though, are the funniest I've ever read.

So how are you enjoying Danger Man? It's years since I've seen it, I absolutely must watch it again, but I don't think it's available on DVD here at the moment.

Now that's a pity. I've only been watching through six episodes within the last few days, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. I saw some other episodes a while back but they're much more entertaining than I remember them to be. The only mildly confusing thing is that a lot of actors who appeared earlier in the series, on the Prsioner, on the Avengers, and from James Bond keep popping up in different roles so I'm having a little trouble not mixing everybody up. I rather like how the viewer gets a more in-depth view of the life of a spy, particularly the consequences in "Yesterday's Enemies."

Actually I just checked on Bigpond Movies (our version of Netflix) and they do have Danger Man, so I've added it to my rental queue!

Yay! The more episodes I watch, the more I'm convinced number six isn't John Drake.

Oh thank god there's another like me out there! LOL!

Hello, Pet! *waves*

I've been having something of a DM/SA marathon, and really, I can't see Drake turning into number six. The weird thing is that I can sort of understand how Drake might be what number six was when he was younger. Hard to explain...

[a-mire.livejournal.com]

No need to explain, I get where you're coming from. :D They are cut from the same peat. I think Drake would have been craftier in dealing with the authorities. He has a long history of improvising loyalty to people he doesn't respect, unlike Number 6 who doesn't seem to be able to fake it. But I bet Number 6 acts like Drake when he respects his boss (he seems very Drake in A,B&C). He just doesn't anymore. At least that's how I see it.

Ach! I must get moving... I have spent too much of my life talkig about this already....hee!

*thinks to self* whew! she knows I'm not some psycho random friender! LOL!

I also got the impression that Drake is more likely to put up with the authorities even when they lie and betray him, like in "It's Up to the Lady" or "That's Two of Us Sorry." Number six has lost all patience for hypocrites, and he's much less willing to sacrifice his ideals to complete his missions.

*embarassed cough* Actually, I haven't seen "A, B, and C" or "the General," so I can't comment on that just yet :) But I do think that number six would take a similar attitude to Drake when dealing with trustworthy bosses, ye.
