To robinsure and the other Brits complaining that they won't be able to see this; to them I saw, worry not chaps, you're not missing much.
Sorry, big time unmutual on something that in its original form is at least 10x better than explosions, pretty.boys, and whatever names they dig off the old scripts. [Rover, Orange Alert, 'Locals', 'The Tally Ho', need I go on?] #theprisoner

Here we go again. Revive the old series on cable either on demand or a couple weeks before. Cast some pretty boy in the lead. Hollywood explosions. Cue curtain. Profit.
And they hand to wait until the original Number 6 died off before running it. Excellent. For someone.
Not me. Seriously unmutual to this thoroughly, and better flogged in '67 horse.
Actually, thanks AMC for putting 'The Prisoner' on Comcrap on demand for free. I called in sick yesterday and had an 'Unmutual Marathon'. I'd take 17 episodes of the original over 3 as done by Hollywood any day.

Yes! Now if only I could buy every episode on DVD for under a trillion dollars.
Seriously, this is the best news ever. If Hex isn't in it, people will suffer.

I love Hex, but Id also like/hope this is in the same cannon.
I want a continuation of the past, not a complete reset.
Best way to do it (imho) is to have new characters and such set a few years later. (Next-Generation style, basically).
They could then catch up on what happened to the old charecters slowly while flowing new-viewer-friendly plots.
And, with that in mind, Hex is currently decompiled and spread thoughout the net. (though still messing about with systems though indirect means, if the line in My Two Bobs is anything to go by.) #reboot

(I certainly didn't date myself but mentioning Saved by the Bell in a Reboot discussion. Nope, not at all.) #reboot

Its possible to do that with the same characters, but a little tricky. #reboot

But yeah, I just hope they can come up with amazing villains like Hex and Daemon.
Daemon was freaking hardcore amazing. #reboot
